i just tryed to go to his site to see if he had any updates and i got a screen full of a palm tree and a hackers name.......hope the site makes it back up soon
blasphemy...Who the hell is Jim Wendler?
I would guess that is some type of training program?just a weak man that invented 5/3/1
Bingo. Wendler trained at Westside and was a 1000lb squatter before the equipment got excessive. Then he got un-fat and more jacked by doing hill sprints and prowler pushes and wrote a program that helps people be more awesome. It's all laid out in Clint Darden's youtube exposee that I linked above.Downloaded a sample of his book. It does look interesting but I've seen the same type of training before. Looks like its geared more towards strength trainers/powerlifters.
Eh. I just watched a video of them two together lolNever read his explanation on the squat. My favorite for teaching movements is Kelly Starrett, second place goes to Brandon Lilly. I heard Rippetoe had someone hack Wendler's site. Strength programming wars. "Mine's simpler! No, mine is!"
Wendlers strength is he can take a complicated movement like the squat and break it down into a few sentences...I don't know about his description of how to squat. It's a little much, should be made simpler. He over-complicates it. I don't think I'll purchase this book.
There's free versions out if you search T-Bone. His descriptions of the movements may be complicated but the program in general is not.
Yes his site was hacked. I think it's back up though.
Fair enough.The sample I downloaded does have a general description of the program. I'm just not into Powerlifting or training for strength. I'm more of a general health/endurance type guy.
I completely made that **** up. Funny < failEh. I just watched a video of them two together lol
love that vid!!!!! clint is funny as ****
So a rep has to follow every facet of the extremely diverse world of lifting? Do you know every one in crossfit, powerlifting, body building endurance training etc.? All depends on where your interests lie and what genre of the sport you're into. In other terms: You like rock and are really into it but have no clue about the rap or country scene but it's all music.13,000 posts and a sns rep and hasn't heard of 5/3/1 or Jim wendler. Wut
