Many thanks to both of you Markus and Haltia for your replies. They helped me quite a lot. I'll ask my Sifu and i'll try to focus on what i've learned directly. I will have time to practise horse stance and others in the future.
For the past days i've been practising just lifting the sky and chi flow and i can tell that i feel better. Hope it keeps that way in the next few days!
Haltia, you said that weight lifting ain't good for Kung Fu training. What do you think about bodyweight training? My opinion is that either in weight lifting or just bodyweight training depending on the exercise you could be improving your kung fu.
I explain myself. There are many exercises in the gym that are not that useful except maybe (sometimes even not) for muscle mass growing. For example many machines exercises. However, dead lift, pull ups, push ups, squats (with different varietys) for sure can improve your martial arts training.
The reason is that you use not only your main muscles, but many secondary ones and stabilizing muscles. In my case i train either at home or in the park without weights, and i can assure that many of these exercises improve your condition overall. It helps you control your body much better. Think about proffesionals in gymanistics, they train every single muscle.
Kind regards!
