Combine the exercises with a little bit of stance work. You don’t have to go crazy–I like Kumar Frantis idea of the 80% capacity rule.

Doesn’t matter what style you play, you will see signficant improvement in body movements and full body expression provide you practice this consistently and with not too heavy of a qiang. [give yourself a good six months of honest training before you either conclude it doesn't work and is "no big deal".]

I recall reading the Chen Fake did 200 punches with a long qiang everyday up until the last couple of weeks until he died.

Great teaching achievement here–
