    I don't like the wording chosen for the competition. It's not major, but just because he wins a competition that not everyone in the world has access to or could possibly hear of in a reasonable...

    I'd say deadlift, followed closely by cleans and any overhead pressing movement.


    It's important to be able to pick stuff up off the ground, support/lower/raise things from head height or higher...

    I used to think jogging was awesome. Then I trained to walk a marathon, 13-14 miles once a week. It got my calves bigger, my joints never hurt(only my feet when I didn't wear proper shoes one time)...

    I would say do moderately high reps + heavy weight.

    Though the best bet to build yourself a solid foundation of strength is to look into Starting Strength, Madcows or one of the other ABA BAB 5X5...

    375, as many sets as we could, though form was non-existent. Had read about them the previous night, told my buddy and we both kept trying to pull more than each other. Best pain I ever felt.

    This. If that doesn't work, try squats and deadlifts.

    Only happened once, but late/no glasses or contacts/was rushing through my lifts.

    As I've finally fully converted to using a journal and planning a week in advance(though I'm sure real vets at...

    What you mean is, laughable numbers for a professional soldier often trained from a very young age and was in the service until death or retirement. They had a few hundred years where the training...

    Do deep calf stretches, until your foot is also parallel with your shin - pull your body against the wall/beam you have your foot on. It won't get better overnight or even in a week or two, but if...

    OP, follow this advice. I knew guys that had a solid six pack and muscle without working out anymore than I did back around 15-16. Difference is, I kept lifting, joined the military, then kept...

    How often do you cycle them in, about once a month??
