Squats, on squats, on squats.
 
Wasn't sure where to post this, quite a few power lifters in here and sure even more lurkers. Interesting opportunity here: Invalid Link Removed


Hope you don't mind me linking it! At the very least seeing the programming they do would be interesting for discussion.
 
That is cool.

Hey, post whatever/whenever in my log!

That looks awesome. If I didn't already know that Mike T wouldn't let me do my bro-work, I'd be first in line. Ton of respect for him as a coach and lifter.

Hopefully someone around here takes the plunge so we can see what's up.
 
I want to but i donno if my hand will be back by then or if i have the 2.5hr time allotment he said people were reporting for training sessions. Especially with that excluding my 15-20 min warmup.

I think a lot of people can get away with less warm-up time then they think. But I realize everyone is different. But yeah, 2.5 hours would suck.

That's typical for RTS and should include warm up. The people taking 2.5 are the ones most likely doing extensive warm ups (based on past experience with those following Mike T programming).
 
Hmm. How much active training time would you estimate then? I know you can't really tell for certain since you dont know the full nature of the programming.
 
Ya I'd say 2 hours.

Merry Christmas to all. I'm carb drunk.

that's the best kind of drunk to be considering that you'll have extra energy for your next session as opposed to being hungover lol.

Haven't front squatted in awhile. Last time I was supposed to do them I did high bar instead. Needless to say, it sucked. GMs felt good. Torched the hamstrings. Almost got a cramp.

Front squats do suck
 
I've read a little bit. Maybe like the first 50 pages. So I'm not too far ahead of ya
 
I think I read a page
 
Nice work man. Fronts do suck. Kinda wish I had a day to do em first tho, after deads they suck even worse lol.

2 days off training and a hefty caloric surplus should mean some good training sessions this weekend. I have the next two days off work as well (worked both New Year's Eve and Day) and I deload next week...so I'm going to test myself if I'm feeling good.
