I spent many of my years power lifting, now that i train in arts, those muscles i built interfere with form and speed.

Are there any specific muscle groups to avoid ( work lighter ) then others?
And on other hand, any groups that should be targeted?

Having never powerlifted im not sure if this will help or not but I ususally just stick to the basics (situps and pushups and of course stretching)

Granted im not going to win any "Strong Man" competitions but it works for me.

Hi - In my humble opinion = Your body was not designed to carry those Big Muscles that Grow when you Lift Weights - you might get the Girls, but, when you get older they turn into mush Wink And, you are correct, they will slow you down + the bigger the muscles are, will interfere with moving around period Grin
Also, I might add - A weight lifter's muscles helps in regards to the locating of p.p. groups - they are easy too find on a weight lifter Grin

I find it is ok to left,  many Okinawa school lift. in the martial arts adjust your focus on your core muscles, pecks get in the way sometimes. big upper arms also get in the way sometimes. legs, neck feet hands, go for it. I had two huge lifter in my school last year, and they were strong one's one of  themwas from Asian, the other European. They relied on muscle so much that the two of them found it difficult to adjust to flowing smoothly from one motion to another. As I said before, lifting is ok but if you can focus on flow motion in stead of power, you will not feel as choppy with movement, you will be alright doing both together.

Thanx for the feed back,

            I think i will try using typical excercises ( push-ups, etc.) and once or twice a week hit gym for low, low weight and high reps. Concentrating on fewer muscle groups ( core,triceps,forearms,hands). Hopefully i will be able to trim back some of my mass with out forfitting to much strength. Of course i will be stretching, doing kata, and other drills that will also help. keep you all posted if i discover any tricks. Thanx again

well ... first of all Mcdonalds is not where to eat if your goal haws anything to do with health. I used to eat like that but at sub shops. a norm meal would be a salad with extra steak tips, some kind of wrap and maybe chicken fingers. not the best meal either.

Unfortunately my norm weight is more of 265 - 275 lbs. I got lazy for one year and threw on a ton of weight. Now when i hit the gym i can go light for a little while, but the weights always start calling to me to do more. This is why i try to use my surroundings to work out now.
