| lifting and trumpet
Hey Manny,
You told me at your masterclass that you think lifting weights is detrimental to a trumpet players efficiency of body use. I happen to love lifting weights because it is a hobby that frees up my mind from music and just the stress of life and school in general. Is there a balance you think that can be achieved or a better way to lift weights or do you think cardio is the best bet and leaving weights alone would be beneficial. I ask you because Doc Norris tells me I should stop lifting but a teacher of mine in Texas lifts weights 3 days a week, he benches 350 and plays the trumpet as good as anyone I've heard so I'm torn between the two....your insight would be awesome
