Cultivating energy:
Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation) is a fundamental training tool in Chen Tai Chi, how can you move efficiently if you can stand still efficiently. For bodybuilding purposes, the revitalizing of Chi this exercise provides makes it beneficial for recovery like getting a massage or acupuncture would because it naturally restores the flow of Chi. It will also increase your body awareness so you can execute lifts more effectively.
Some tips on performing Zhan Zhuang:
-Relax every part of your body, as time goes by you’ll feel tension build, with your intention relax, learn to be calm and maintain inherent strength under pressure
-focus your awareness to your center (a little below the navel) and imagine it heavy and sinking
-feel the head light as if it were floating up
