  1. When do you do legs?

    My forearms and CNS are cooked after heavy deads, I agree with you and Zir. I like to recover before I add more load and stress.

    4 hrs of snowshoeing is a relatively easy day. A challenging day is 8 hrs and over 4000 vertical feet of climbing. I live in the pacific northwest. I climb and ski volcanoes. I ski year round, which means lots of skinning and hiking esp. in late summer and fall to get up on the glaciers. If the...

    No love for condit? First guy to put GSP in a bad spot since Matt Sera. I would like to see Hendricks v Diaz or condit v Hendricks. Condit is tough i have liked his style back since WEC days. Rory MacDonald looked awesome destroying BJ. MW: silva, sonnen, i like jits so going with Maia he has...

  5. Chest help

    I am going to work on 2 sec pause at bottom and dead stop off 1 or 2 boards or off pins in power rack. Most of my chest work is in 5 rep or more range so I'm not specifically training my max with heavy triples like a power lifter would. i still like seeing my numbers go up.

  6. Chest help

    That is a really good squat. Do you move good weight in overhead press and bent over rows/t-bar rows? I have a similar problem on bench. I get 4-5 reps at 250 but can't hit 280 w/o a spot. I stall around 2 inches off the chest. Do you have a spot in the lift where you stall out?

    Rest week is over, thanks for suffering through some boring WOs. Hopefully this WO report will get you guys fired up. Today’s goal was to set new PRs, original paln was 5 rep PRs but i got excited and went for 1RM. I exceeded my goals. Squats were 135x12, 185x12, 225x3, 275x3, 325x2, 350x1...

    Forgot to add a note about yesterday's WO - 4 hrs of snowshoeing ~ 7.5 miles distance and 2000 vertical climb

  9. Chest help

    Your bench press is at a beginner weight, not a slam is what it is. if you work on it for 3-6 months youll be in a differnet place. Check out starting strength or stronglifts 5x5. You don't need to use complicated plans or 5/3/1 until your training stalls on a simple progressive loading plan...

    Cardio and abs today. Focus and endurance were awesome. 40 mins on Nordic track flew by. Looking forward to moving some iron on Monday.

    I'm only on foam for 5 min. If quads or hams get real tight I use tennis ball or bocce ball while sitting at my desk, sometimes 10 mins a muscle if I can't get the fibers to release. Agree that knobby stuff looks cool but too spendy. Also use .75 in diameter hollow aluminum pipe with a...

  12. OH shoulder press foot positioning?

    Hand position on the bar could also affect stability. Wider grip would seem more stable but causes problems in the joint. T nation also had a article on this in past day or two. If I had a noticeable instability between shoulders I would add accessory lifts to isolate each side like arnold...

  13. When do you do legs?

    squat 3x week. Deads alternate at 1x week / 2x week. No leg extensions. No leg presses. just squats and deads.

  14. Is there any recommended to get preped for military

    are you a competitive swimmer or tri athlete? The PJ pool sessions have huge drop out rates. Swimming is a technique/skill activity that requires lots of practice to be efficient at. Most people freak in the water cause it is a different environment than they are used to. I would also work on...

  15. OH shoulder press foot positioning?

    google "Bill Starr The Quest for a Stronger Overhead Press" for ideas on hip and posterior chain to start off the rack position. I use neutral shoulder width but I'm not moving a ton of weight only working 5x5 @ 78% of BW for 155 lbs. Do you have a leg that is significantly stronger than the...

    Wo #2 on Tropinol XP. 4 caps 1 hr before hitting gym at 6:00 AM. Continuing with rest week for lower weight 50% of 5 rep working weigh for only 2 sets each exercise. Foam roll + dynamic warm-up, squats 12 reps with clean and press from the floor at start/finish as my gym does not have a power...

    Seems to have a big endurance benefit. I'll test this more on Friday by increasing # of intervals going from 20 min to 30 min.

    Did my first Tropinol WO this morning, 4 caps 1 hr. before WO. An easy day of cardio, abs, some pull-ups, biceps and triceps. Started with pulls hit 15, 12, then 10 overhand wide with clean form. i am working up to a goal of 20 pullups in a single set. Sets 2 and 3 were performed between...

  19. Pull Ups

    I did 20 clean at 205 no kips back in the day. Most guys I know who can hit 20 were less than 150-160 lbs the skinny wiry but strong types. Pull-ups are technique based. There are plenty of guys who can lat pull more than BW for 20 but cant pull 20 because they don't practice the skill. If you...

  20. Off weeks

    A week completely off may make it awkward to get back into a routine but I doubt there are any conditioning changes if diet remains stable. Fatigue goes away faster than fitness fades esp. strength. I use de-load weeks, 1 week for an easier training block up to 12 days for a harder block. I'm...
