Did no one mention that eyebrow?

For anyone interested in the science of this type of training. There is something called post activation potentiation, this is when your cns gets ready to fire up your muscles to exert great amounts of force, training with ankle weights make your brain recruit your muscles fibers to a higher degree so that you are able to move and once you take them off your body is still pumped from using the weights and but because you no longer have extra load to move your body moves so much faster because is ready to move under greater load. This training is effective to increase speed however the speed increase only happens while you are pumped from using the extra load, to get long term benefits you need to not only train constantly with the weights to get this effect,, you need to drill your kicks without the weights so your body builds the adaptation to the greater speed, otherwise you will only get a momentary increase in speed and over time you will lose it because your body is no longer being forced to fire up your muscles before moving without the extra weight. It takes around 3 week to build a neurological adaptation, that means that kevin would need to do this type of training for a tleast 3 weeks so that his speed boost actually sticks around, because is only one week he will see a drop on his speed starting next week. Also you need to drill kicks with the new speed because your body will get used to the speed you are moving, so if you only train with the ankle weights, even if you feel faster when you take them off you will get slower over time, so you need to use the weight to get the PAP effect and then drill your techniques without the weight to actually see long term improvements in speed. Also doing a mix of strength movements like knee and leg raises, holding your leg out in the front and to the side and doing slow controlled reps of kicks will be much more effective to strengthen the muscles used during kicks than just kicking as fast as you can with the weights as that is more likely to hurt you if you use too much weight. So to anyone that wants to try this method, get the ankles and do strength exercises and kicks with a slow and controlled form, after a few days start incorporating faster movements with the weights on after you done the strength exercises and after you take off the weights perform your kicks as you normally do, just make sure to not do too much volume with the weights on or you will be fatigued by the time you take the weights off and won't see much speed improvements. This is the most effective and safest method to train with weights.

The scene where Lee is fighting Gaara and drops his legs weight from the head of that statue is one of the most god-tier, iconic badass moments in anime history. I’m not as into Naruto as I was when I was younger, but that will stay with me beyond everything for the rest of my life.

Jumping straight to 25lbs per leg seems like a huge leap. I wonder what it would feel like to start with something like 5 or 10 lbs and work your way up over a longer period. I work as a server and just switched from trail shoes to winter boots - it's crazy how a weight difference of a few ounces in your footwear translates to noticeably greater fatigue over 18,000+ steps. Awesome video!

Becoming Rock Lee goes beyond One Punch Man training regiment. Every workout session he does goes beyond superhuman standards. We can only aspire to be Rock Lee.

Oh man - this is awesome!!

Rock Lee was the thing that made me start martial arts in the first place This was great Also as a person who wears 20 lb ankle weights daily, it gets easier to walk and kick with them after a couple months

Kevin Lee x Naruto, collab I never thought I’d see 🔥🔥

Dude when you hit that IP man rolling punch combo my eyes lit up with a “WOOOOOAH NO WAY” loudly lol. Very awesome man!!!

And after "i trained like rock lee for a week" we want "i trained like goku for a week"... Awesome video I'm still laughing 🤣

It was great, probably you should have done a before after test. Like how many kick you can do in a min, or clip a fast kick before and after. Because the weight add strength but can mess with power/speed. Cause the feel of a kick vs the reel fast might differ Nice video i had fun!

The chipmunk voice killed me 😂

to answer your question about the ligaments, it is very bad for your knees (in the same way the leg extension machine is). Imagine someone grabbing your foot and yanking as hard as they can, that's pretty much what ankle weights do every time you move (jumping and kicking especially). The better placement anatomically would be wrapped around the thighs and biceps (is doing upper body vs ankles and wrists. Great Video man, really enjoyed it.

Thank you for brightening up my week a bit Kevin. Cool video and it was great to see you guys having fun during the sparring.

Rock Lee so hardcore that when he was knocked out, his subconscious forced his body up into his fighting stance.

Supernice Video, I'm still smiling 😁 Rock Lee is one of my Favourites and you are definitely as sympatic as Rock Lee! 🙂

Rocklee and Kakashi....Some of the best taijitsu action in Anime from these two! Guy Sensei would be proud of the Spring of YOUTH!

I am absolutely *LOVING* these collaborations!

This was super cool, great content Sir 👍 love the rock Lee outfit

Hi Mr.Kevin thanks for the boba🧋nice rock Lee moves!!!🎉 nice eyebrows by the way

This was really enjoyable🙂Definitely keep on training with the leg weights!

I like the sense of humour, good job. Lot of training you have done. We see the difference in kicks, Big Up! Continue. Sry for my english

Rock lee is amasing, not only did he not learn any ninjustsu, he didn't really use any tools or had any physical advantage. He just busted his ass training until he didn't need anything other then his body to fight actual monsters on a equal footing. People who can kill you with a single look got their faces smashed in by this kid. Just imagine if he after many years of taijutsu were to learn even simple ninjutsus made to earn a small advantage what a monster he would become.

You're martial prowess is amazing my friend

Omg the chipmunk voice slayed me. xD This is really cool! I tried this once as well, with much less weight than that. And I could feel the pressure on my ankles like you're talking about (to a much smaller degree of course).

I trained the same under my boxing coach orders, after like 1 month I realized that my punches were faster so I thought I was like 2 weight categories down because my arms were so light while at the same time stronger in power. Weight training is actually good for conditioning, strenght, speed, cardio and joint conditioning too. I can assure that because I never had a broken bone when kicking full power back in my Taekwondo and Kickboxing days. Only necessary thing is to keep training harder and harder with the weight training so you won't lose the increase on speed, power and cardio. If you can manage this for a couple of years, then fighting bigger people would be easier since your body gets better at enduring a bigger load of physical and mental effort

More of this kinds of contents sifu please 😆 it's fun

When you started beating the first guy up like that, I smashed the like button. One recommendation I have on the weighted pouches is that you started training with too much h weight too soon. Yes, you COULD have really hurt yourself and I'm glad that it did work out in the end. I personally would have approached the weights the same way I approach many other things I work on, start with a little bit and gradually build up. Actual ninja would plant a bamboo seed in their yards and start by jumping over the sappling. Day by day, they would keep jumping over it as they slowly grew. Maybe you could also try securing the weights higher on your quads and hamstrings. Also, you already beat Ed at being Rock Lee for sure.

Good stuff...I'm about to start doing the same thing completed with sparring too

The sparring had me smiling for a while bro! great video!

Crazy effort, have a like fellow BrockoLee fan

Definitely deserves the like

14:19 That was absolutely the coolest combo I've ever seen in my life 🤯

You did the poses and everything real rock lee action right here

I was expecting you to walk around the town on your hands!!!! 😅😊😂😂

can you make a video on that leg sweep thing?? I see it in movies a lot but I've never seen it used IRL

Gotta try this

Crazy but love the dedication

It looked really difficult but it looked really cool do you think you could ever try to do a z fighter or perhaps a mortal Kombat or Street fighter or maybe all three

Piccalo always had a weight vest and shoulin rings on his Arms Next video train like dragon ball Z. By consuming a lot of "sleeping grass" 🌿 I've already started my training

I used to wear 10 lbs ankle to school sometimes. I feel your pain.

Did you consider using some kind of harness to secure the weights better? Granted it may distribute the weight differently

I used to have really heavy shoes in winter and after winter we in school had a running contest (they wanted to take somebody to competitions). I had become the fastest guy in class even though before I could barely keep up (I didn't always beat the guy who was fastest before. Sometimes he won and sometimes I did). I did get an offer to be in competitions but when I had to do the whole health check turned out I wasn't allowed so it ended there. Just walk with heavy shoes, that is all you need to become faster.

AN ANIME SERIES WOULD BE AMAZING!!! So many amazing fighting animes out there. I would love to see you get the guys and train and execute the moves in sparring. Whoever pulls off the most moves in one round wins!

I HAD SMILE ON MY FACE ALMOST WHOLE TIME HE WAS SPARING

That sparring looks so fun!

AMAZING VIDEO

What a legend

I can you are holding back the whole time. I mean you did not open even the 1st gate 🤣🤣🤣

Can you do a video on footwear for kickers ? Do steel toes slow you down. Do combat boots do more damage do sneakers cushion your kicks ext. That'd be really interesting to see

My first thought when you expressed the weights hurting your ankles was that rock Lee didn't train barefoot lol. He had the sandal type foot wear that probably gave some protection. But awesome video.

I'm so happy you didn't pull a muscle! My worried mom energy was rooting for you this entire video.

that was sick man can you put the link for the ankle weights?

I think my favorite part of this would be ther ear to ear GRINS as you spar! 🤣

I need the amazon link for those leg weights!

Great video

He didn't do 10 laps around the village on his hands or out speed mystic sand but he did try Drunken Fist so I'll give him that

Where did you buy the ankle weights?

So, this is my first time on your channel and... Did you do Shotokan by any chance? I am asking because I spotted the gyaku mawashi geri (the reverse round kick) a couple of times in your sparring session.

7:07 this is exactly how I fight in my dreams lol

12:40 something baseball players do when they're getting ready to bat is put a weight over the bat and swing it a bunch so that when they're at bat it feels lighter and easier to swing, its not psychological, your body gets used to throwing extra weight around, so when the extra weight is gone it feels like nothing

Does Ryu's (Street Fighter) methods work at all? What's the goal of all that walking?

Hey, did you like the tv show called "warrior" from HBO Max?

that was cool

Yes

Let’s goo!!!

Man, those weights look way better than the ones I use. Mine are big, bulky, red warparounds that only weigh about 10lbs. I should go find the ones you got.

Allan Pan did something similar to this; he strapped the weights to a belt so that his feet wouldnt get so beat up

For the culture

Eyyy wonderboy eyyyy

Your kick reaction is nice and flexible

I trained like broccoli 🥦 for 3 months !!!

lmfaooooooooooo this episode is freaking awesome

Rock Lee is my favorite from the series too ✊🏾🔥✊🏾🔥 and the simple fact he’s based off Bruce Lee too makes it even better… He’s the epitome of hard work and dedication to become the best version of yourself… As we all teach in martial arts and everything outside of that 💪🏾💪🏾 idc what anyone says… Rock Lee is a real ninja… Everyone else is pretending lol I’m playing

It is better to start with lower number of weights and only walk with them. Allow your body to adapt to additional pounds over time. You will find some increase in speed, but kicking and such will do harm to tendons and ligaments. Did the same while training in Tae Kwon Do.

Rock Lee would be proud!

This is great

Out of all of the ninjas in Naruto rocklees the one that puts effort into everything.

you should check out kyle hill goku training or allan pan rock lee training, is less martial artist like but more science aproached, it might help too

Good video

I'm leery of the ankle weights bro, could really mess up the knees. Prefer attaching resistance bands and kicking instead. They probaby even reduce some impact force on your joints!

The way how this works is actually pressure on muscles. It can be matched to training biceps not every time more weight is having same result on muscles. Scientists proven that slow lifting makes muscles sweat as much as fast liftings. Some older volleyball players know this technique. Around 60 and older. I know this technique, because of my grandpa. Never tried it but for this instance why I am here I will try one day after preparation for body. I appreciate wing chun show video on Sensei Seth channel. I'm trying to learn needed techniques for myself. Greetings! PS: I was writing this at 10:20

Mr. Kevin Lee you did a great job! Awesome costume! About your training: Well it is much in the beginning as some said. I agree but I would go over 1 month to 50 lbs and then train an additional month with it. That it helps and makes you feel lighter is not imagined. Another guy did it for a running test (if you want to watch it? Here is the link:ukposts.info/have/v-deo/m6J8o56Cp4ygooE.html) He had a better equipment which seemed to be less painful and way less moving downwards. Again thank you for this funny video and sending my deepest respect for this 6 days of pain and sweat for us 🙏!

Sorry to say this to you guy, but you missed a lot of important aspects of Rock Lee's training: The companionship of the most Wholesome sensei of all times (i mean, no one tops Gai, so i guess it's the hardest thing); the Spring of Youth, and most important: THE LIFE CURRY. But you tried, AND got that eyebrows perfectly, so that's what counts :P

You definitely made this more interesting but that might just be because of Ed’s lax approach to sparring and training in general. Kevin is for sure the true rock lee in that regard though, as both him and Kevin are supposed to be bushy browed balls of hype and muscle. Compared to this, Ed just had a slight change in strength training.

GUY SENSEI!!!

THE EYEBROWS LOL

8:20 THIS IS SO FUNNY

Lifting weights in a controlled and intentional manner is one thing, but something tells me that over the long term, training with heavy weights on your limbs like that isn't very healthy for your joints.

waaooo super video

Give me more haha

I've trained for a good 2 yrs with 10 pound leg weights. I think every martial artist anime fan has gone through this phase. lol I would be careful about tearing your acl. The benefits that I've found with the weights are more to do with the muscles that control your hip flexors, the small mucles throughout your leg that deal with your balance, and your footwork It also added depth to my lower abs. It does help with your power just from the sheer control you have to have when throwing something with them on, but you have to be extra careful throwing striking techniques. If you go full speed, there's a big risk of throwing out your knee. Resistance bands are a lot safer than leg weights, because the pull is not straight to the ground where it's stressing sides/tendons of your knee but back to your center of balance. That being said, they are fun to use after you get used to the constant weight. Also if someone can find a perminant solution to where the weights themselves aren't rubbing up against the ankle, that would be great for all of us that use 'em.

Very nice video man ! try the month complete training linke this

Hey Kevin the ankle weights is bad for your knees in long-term requirement is 2-3 hours of weights

the extra weight changes your blood pressure... giving you a headache. reduce at first and increase over time.

Where he get that jacket 😊

Nice video maybe train like Naruto next

When I was a dumb kid I tried a lesser version of the Rock Lee training and got very hurt

if you really want to go for the weights, dont buy the plate ones, there are some with drain weights inside and they feel much better. You can use them for building the muscles needed for your technics, best way would be max 6 reps with max speed to get the effect. this is based on anatomy and training studies

LOL, its realy Fanny 😄
