Traditional training equipment

When did I post "funny little dancing exercises" in this thread? Are you talking about this? It's called "闯石担(Chuan Shi Dan) - swing double heads" which is not "举石担(Ju Shi Dan) - lift double heads".

so why you didn't post "举石担(Ju Shi Dan) - lift double heads"?

The ancient Chinese "core" strength training is different from just "lift".

when most kung fu people cant even lift up their arms, I think its important to show the simple "lift".

Clean to press, super effective move. Love it.

It is important to realize that "movement specific" strength building is a part for strength training BUT should only be done AFTER general strength is well developed.
EX:
If you can't overhead press 100lbs, you have no business doing any "twirling around" over your head of 25lbs.

Develop a solid core and base and then you can "improvise" with stuff because by then your stabilizers as well as your "major movers" are developed enough (hopefully).
