    Sean's Powerlifting Journey

    I'm familiar with Kelly Sterrett and his work, but I didn't realize SuperD had mobility vids. Thanks.

    Sean's Powerlifting Journey

    Hey man, do you have any good hip mobility exercises that you've used successfully? I do Agile-11, I'm just looking for anything and everything I can get.

    A friend of mine pukes with even moderate training??

    I'm sorry, but this sounds too weird. Does he have inner ear issues, like vertigo or something? Otherwise, it sounds like his overall level of conditioning is just so bad he needs to start somewhere - like fast walking. He should also be drinking a lot of water every day, clean up his diet...

    Stronger Than the Day Before

    Skwatz. Sore, sore back and hips today. All of the heavy lifting is starting to get to my joints. It's okay though, because I got me a rest day coming up on Sunday. Played around with my squat stance today, and I find that I have a much easier time getting to depth and sitting back with a...

    Stronger Than the Day Before

    I cheated on myself. I knew it would happen. My thinking was that since my lower back was sore from all the benching, I would do some low rack pulls with lighter weights in order to loosen things up and get some healing blood in there. Well, I underestimated how addicted I am to pulling...

    Oh man alive, that was intense. Skwatz! Warmup: DeFranco's Agile 11 (more like agile 9.5, since I didn't do the mountain climbers and my mobility sucks) Light Squats Working Sets: 315 X 3 335 X 2 345 X 1 365 X 1 385 X 1 365 X 1 345 X 2 335 X 2 365 X 1 335 X 2 315 X 6 225 X 16 - Not a typo...

    Reds91's Training log

    You could do a push, pull, and legs day too on a three day split. That's a good routine.

    Stronger Than the Day Before

    Yeah man, confidence is key. I have it when I deadlift and squat, just not when I bench. That's probably because bench has always been my weakest lift, so I never feel that great while I bench. My confidence has greatly improved under the bar in the last couple of weeks, though. 245 X 2 was...

    Stronger Than the Day Before

    I need to find a new gym time. Too many curl monkeys later in the evening. I actually saw someone... in the squat rack... using an EZ-curl bar... doing overhead presses... with a reverse grip... and about 65 lbs. total weight. They never squatted or deadlifted. Anyway, aside from that...

    Would appreciate some help!

    I doubt it happened with 1600-1800 calories, but it *may* be that you actually slowed your metabolism down a bit eating like that for a year. You may also be overestimating your maintenance calorie level. I've seen a lot of nutritionists and "experts" advocating AGAINST increasing low-intensity...

    calisthenics work for cardio?

    I really don't think calisthenics would be a big deal. Hell, even light barbell complexes would probably not be a big deal, as long as you're eating enough. I say go for it. Although, nothing beats a weighted sled or HIIT in my opinion.

    Squatting Machine made of flesh...

    I saw this dude. I like how his knees don't come in at all until the last rep. If I had that much weight on my back... well, nevermind. I would die.

    Stronger Than the Day Before

    Thanks, haha. House is fine. Sounded pretty crazy outside (even after I closed the window), but there aren't any trees too close by. I was worried though; I remember when I was a kid and we'd get storms in the Midwest there'd be branches and sometimes even trees knocked over the next day...

    Stronger Than the Day Before

    SKWATZ Today... was dog-****. I felt weak and winded the entire time. I was awakened around three A.M. by the sound of what, at the time, I thought were poltergeists trying to steal my soul. Turns out my bedroom window was open and Mother Nature decided to possess the skies and earth around...

    Stronger Than the Day Before

    Alright, it's an off day, so in lieu of numbers and reps, I'm gonna provide a recipe. I plan on putting recipes in here often. My girlfriend and I both have some culinary experience, so we play around with food a lot and usually end up with some pretty tasty, healthy dishes. Today I made some...
