Dragon, thanks for pointing that out, for some reason I had Day A set up weird. amended: Day A (no EDT) low-bar squats: 5x5 EDT 1: 5x5 flat bench press weighted pullups/chinups EDT 2: 5x5 weighted hyperextensions weighted crunches SCT 1: weighted dip (held at the bottom of the movement) SCT 2: bicep...

playing around with templates for 3.0... Day A ( no EDT ) low-bar squats: 5x5 EDT 1 : 5x5 flat bench press weighted crunches EDT 2 : 5x5 weighted hyperextensions weighted pullups/chinups (three sets of each, alternating?) SCT 1 : weighted dip (held at the bottom of the movement) SCT 2 : bicep curl D...

so, update. I fuxed my legs up today by spending 3 hours chasing cows through briars, streams, and marsh. tried squatting 230 5x5, which I almost nailed four days ago, and did AWFULLY. I was losing power in the weirdest parts of the movement, which I initially ascribed to the fact that I'd done ligh...

I thought it would be nice to have a thread for discussing and sharing favored Static Contraction Training holds. If you're like me and bought the book, you were probably expecting to get some information on different holds, and the ways to do them. I think there were two or three pages devoted to t...

awesome. I'm drooling to see the ingredient part of the label if you have a picture of that haha

What penetration enhancer are you using? If there's DMSO in the mix, that's the likely culprit. If not, it's likely the alcohol base. haha, amusingly enough, I had some of a bottle of Everclear sitting around, and that's what I used. I diluted it with some water and it took care of it. moisturizing...

BIG NEWS yours truly has tracked down a supply of time-release Laxogenin capsules. I will be getting a bottle of 90 50mg caps for use in my next BP run. I've started to get a bit of soreness in my knees after doing squats, and with the help of some folks in reddit's weightroom, I believe I have the...

that's an amazing weight gain, man. congratulations on the success and on the hard work. question - what kind of macronutrient template is your diet following during your Cruise? what about Rippetoe's program got you injured, the low-bar squats? I remember you advising against those. what sort of in...

nice stats coming out of that run, man. I'm impressed, I'll have to try and catch my bench and my shoulder press up to yours on my next run :D one thing - you don't need to hold your static holds for more than 15sec.; at least, it won't do you any good in terms of stimulating further muscle growth, ...

I've been using Gaspari Intrapro but plan on getting a much, much cheaper custom mix that's pure whey isolate/concentrate with organic flavoring/sweetener, once I've run out. whey isn't something you have to spend a lot of money on, as long as you are consuming it purely for the AAs and protein cont...

tufluk, I think you're referring to statistics that describe what an average strength lifter will be lifting at the end of what's thought of as the "beginner" stage of training. I think the numbers are slightly different - if I recall correctly (1RMs) BP 1.2xBW, SQ 1.75xBW, DL 2xBW, OHP .7...

haha. it sucks training without adaptogens, after having used them and knowing what they can do. edit: thanks for the recommendation. I checked out the suspension straps (never used or seen them before) and rack savers; is the primary purpose of these basically performing the function that lifting a...

So far so good. Have thought about adding accesory work twice a week? Maybe pull thoughs, hyper and reverse hyperextensions, neck harness, upper back extensions with the safety bar, forearms, cable crunches, single leg deadlift, calf raises, gluteham raises? Sometimes the limiting factor in the &qu...
