There was some guy who stuck a platform on a scale, put a glass of water on it, stuck his fingers in the water, and made the platform rise a few in weight.
give it a try :)
You hurt yourself because you concentrated too much ki on a particular body part. You see every body part has a certain capacity to which it can hold energy. Now you must have exceeded the limit, which thus causes a Burnout.
If you had done it some more, your legs would have been on fire.
Try to lift with Ki spread all over your body, not only in your legs.
By the way, for how much time did you try it?
5 min...
What's the conversion from kilos to pounds? just wanna know how much progress you made :X

5 mins!!!
Cool.
I'll try it out too.
My idea on a burnout is waay different from the ideas the ki sites give - mainly because they contradict with grounding and all the rest of their "power-up" techniques.
But yes, even Robert Bruce's NEW Energy Ways supports the idea that exceeding your current capacity of energy in certain body parts causes damage. But what's this about your legs being on fire? I'm sorry but I didn't know that higher energy like chi can cause spontaneous human combustion. I thought it converted into Jing and blew things up. Which is even more ludicrous. According to my sources, trying to get Jing from Ki is like trying to get flour from a baked cake. Chi is derived from Jing, not the other way around. Any energy that can do physical damage is probably a form of telekinetic energy?
Obviously your definition of the word differs from mine then.
A little bit more of an explanation of why your legs would suddenly explode into flames, please? Hope you were just talking about the extreme pain you would feel.

Wow FT you might want to think before you start typing. He was talkin about a sensation of being on fire. I.E. When I lift weights hard my muscles feel like they are on fire.
C'mon fatty boy, the legs on fire was symbolic, not direct phrasing. It meant extreme pain!!!
The sensation was as lot of needles were pinching me really hard
These were exactly the same sensations I was talking about.
Now saying that it was like needles were pinching really hard does not mean that really someone was pricking needles into your leg. It's just symbolic.
exactly..
yesterday night i went to weight myself and as the weight machine isnt electronic; i got the idea to levitate while i was on top of the weight machine. i stood there for a couple of minutes and my weight loewered 2 kilos. However i felt a lot of ki on my entire feet and after a couple of minutes i felt a lot ki from my knees to my feet. Then after a while my legs were hurting so much, similarly to having played soccer for 8 hours.
i use my own technique though
