Strength and Relaxed Ligthtning

One of the things I often talk about for power and speed in CoreForce Energy is Relaxed Lightning. The superiority of this kind of thinking in relating it to physical movement was so apparent in this past weekend’s UFC 84 “ill will” showdown here in Las Vegas. Two fighters in particular seemed to move with ease, grace, powerful strength, and what I call Relaxed Lightning. Two words that seem like they don’t go together. Yet, two words when you combine them are like bringing the two parts together to make TNT.

The other two fighters that opposed them fought in the more traditional way using muscular strength. As impressive as that muscular strength and speed was, it was sadly slower than their opponents who were supple, fluid and elusive. When these two Relaxed Lightning fighter struck, they struck like a thunderbolt out of nowhere catching their opponents by surprise almost every time. They were in and out, before the others could react many times even with their Incredible speed.

It seemed as if the two fighters were in two different time zones - two different planes of reality. The fighters who were relaxed fought as if they had all the time in the world and saw ahead of time - in slow motion. They were “elusive” - a word that was used many times throughout these matches.

But, in reality when you’re relaxed and yet are measuring your speed to a higher source of power such as “ligthning strikes”, why wouldn’t you be incredibly fast and yet have all the time in the world? When all your force is used in the thunderbolt that only lasts for mere milleseconds instead of guarding, squeezing, and holding a “figthing stance” with muscular tension and then trying to explode with that same muscular tension that’s holding you back, you’re going to be be saving energy and using it only when necessary.

The problem that most people have when they know they’re using too much “muscle”, they try to relax - going too far to the other side where they forget that what controls extreme and fast contraction of muscles is electricity.

In CoreForce Energy, it’s not just the generation of force that makes you strong, but the understanding of how to create relaxation of both body and mind that’s still filled with explosive energy instead of sluggish power from everything being shut off from the relaxation. That’s why I spend so much time teaching the particular distinctions that make them unique.

When your brain holds powerful pictures evoking phrases such as “Relaxed Lightning” or “Sting Like a Bee” as something to measure up to in physical movement, your body ends up moving like the very things that seem impossible to someone else who thinks we can only move like humans.

When you think of yourself and strong, muscular, fast, you will always be slow in comparison to electricity or that quick flash bang of a thunderbolt. That’s why we always need to try to measure up to things outside of ourselves trying to emulate things and attributes much greater and richer in qualities than ourselves. In doing so, we bring ourselves to higher levels.

If you watch the flight replays of B J Penn and Lyoto Machida striking, you will see what I’m talking about in regards to Relaxed Lightning. Their opponents, Sean Sherk and Tito Ortiz respectively, who were indeed in incredible condition and impressively fast always seemed to be slow, late, and most often off target in comparison. Their reach was short and held back with muscular tension. Many will look at Ortiz shaking his hands out as being frustration from the elusive moves of Machida. But if you watch closely, you’ll see that he’s trying to get the cramps out - while Machida dances around him hardly out of breath it seems exuding energy instead of muscular exhaustion.

If you want speed and strength, hold yourself to a higher standard. Think of Relaxed Lightning.

If you want to take this kind of thinking to the next level both mentally and physically, this is where the CoreForce Energy course of 9 DVD and the bonus phone calls that comes with it will take you to your power zenith in strength and speed and mental focus.

Breath Strength and Trajectory of Energy

To increase body strength for power and speed, in CoreForce Energy it’s paramount that you have visceral ways to direct your energy so you know if what you’re doing is empowering or disempowering. One of the first things I teach on the personal bonus calls that come with your purchase are CoreForce Energy’s unique techniques of learning breath power and trajectory.

By learning to hear your breath and having creative and easy-to-learn ways to visualize it, your breath becomes one of the very best ways to translate energy into powerful and efficient movement.

Listening first and then learning to direct the sounds your breath makes as it whistles in and out of both your nose and mouth is one of your best teachers you’ll ever have to understand how your brain and body interprets the most efficient movement that “fits” your body.

Instead of learning to force fit someone else’s optimal movements or techniques into your body through copying body movement by rote, you learn how to assimilate those techniques organically into your own movements by seeing and interpreting them as energy projections and velocity waves instead of purely mechanical procedures.

Also, through learning CoreForce Energy Breath Trajectory and interpreting physical movement as breath energy, those movements fit us more organically and empower us with much more strength very quickly.

By learning to listen and direct your energy through your breath, you start to master your body movement right from the beginning - the body movements that are the most powerful and efficient for YOUR body and not someone else’s.

When you begin seeing your breath as waves of energy with unique and ever changing patterns much like music, you almost automatically begin getting creative in expressing them as velocity curves of power and grace rather than body parts and muscle trying to coordinate their efforts to generate more speed and strength.

When you’re thinking in terms of energy instead of muscle, you’re already faster and engaging only the muscles that are necessary rather than everything and the kitchen sink thinking more is better. In terms of strength and speed, more muscle isn’t always the key. Precision of mind and body is and using only what’s necessary for the action at hand and that’s what give you raw strength.

P.S. If you haven’t taken advantage of your bonus calls that come automatically with CoreForce Energy, make the time because I always have time for people who want to master strength and success.

Creating a Blitzkrieg of Elastic Strength

If you want to achieve your ultimate body strength for more power and speed, you need to work on developing what I call elastic strength.

Elastic strength is really functional strength in a sense and something that will help you with your weight training to combat conditioning exercises to martial arts.

Elastic strength is both flexible and strong at the same time. In many ways, I think it better describes functional strength because strength in real life should flex, recoil, and be super stable and strong whenever you choose within an instant.

Elastic strength can snap either way almost instantly and is closer to an electrical lightning strike than the muscle recruitment connotation that the phrase “functional strength” denotes.

How I like to think of strength being created is that it’s a constant blitzkrieg of lightning strikes that  engage the muscles. At the same time, that extreme electrical charge doesn’t freeze up the muscles but makes them flexible and where one movement blends into the next with renewed vigor.

If you were to spend your time in the gym with your eyes closed, you’d hear constipated breathing all around you. Really listen the next time you’re there and almost nothing you hear sounds like fluid powerful breathing when you think about it.

It certainly doesn’t sound like the breath of elastic strength. Unfortunately, it sounds very much like constipated angular breathing where one breath doesn’t flow into the next.

A “grunt” usually starts the lift and then a strong exhale. The breath in to recover is either a gasp or hardly heard.

Then, when you really look and open your eyes, you’ll see most lifting with movements that don’t really flow from one movement to the next as one does in body weight exercises. No wonder why many weight lifters don’t have real functional strength or elastic strength.

In fact, you’ll see a lot of what I call constipated movement which happens when the “Grunt”(muscle head) flexes many muscles in short heaving motions that are static and short. Shorter than they should be because too many muscles are recruited for the actual movement they’re doing.

Tension creates shortness of movement  and quick constipated breathing that doesn’t move. In turn, this creates constipated cramped movements - hence little elastic functional strength.

You are what you practice. So, if you’re going to lift weights with grunts, constipated breathing, and static movements, you’re fighting against yourself to achieve your fluid optimal strength.

Instead of thinking how your muscles are going to lift a weight, think about how much elastic energy it’ll take to complete your reps. When you REALLY know how to create a firestorm of electrical synapses to your muscles, those muscles with respond with powerful contractions.

When your brain comprehends that your strength should contain elastic strength, then a flight plan for fluid movement has already automatically been predetermined and you’ll have energy to burn, breath to spare, while achieving fluid and powerful functional strength - Elastic Strength.

Garin Bader
P.S. CoreForce Energy will show you exactly how to create a blitzkrieg of lightning strikes that will engage your muscles to create super strength that moves and flows with supple energy - Elastic Strength.
