how much did you CONDITION when you started??

[cledasmurf]

This year I think Ive finally come to realize the importance of conditioning when you start to break, especially when starting power. This might be obvious to some people, but in my first couple years the people that were helping me never really told me to strength train or do any conditioning, just keep training my moves and I would get stronger. So I used to throw myself and I had very messy, inconsistent powermoves and no stamina.

Im finally realizing how stupid this mentality is, because you can only go so far with technique before you hit a block because you arent conditioned enough/ get injured over and over again.

I see a pattern now with people who get their basic power the fastest when they are new. Pretty much all of them have some kind of background (gymnastics, martial arts etc) or they conditioned like CRAZY before getting into it.

What Im wondering is, for those that have very CLEAN basic power and combos (flares, headspins, mill variations, etc....not even air power), how much did you condition (bodyweight train, basic strength exercises, cardio, etc) before you even STARTED training your moves??
