Hahaha. Well, we drink the Bud while we are building things and cleaning up on off days. Then yes, you're right. We think we are cool and drink water out of the empty Bud bottles on training days. Hehe.

ha ha ha. Agreed. What are you going to heat your garage with over the winter??
I got a little electric tor**** heater from Lowe's (inb4homedepotbrah) that hooks to a propane tank for $100 that works great along with sweatshirts, sweat pants and a toboggan + tiger balm on the foreheadBetter Body Sports

I have a 55,000 BTU Reddy Heater Propane fueled forced air heater (fancy way of saying tor**** heater). It is overkill....but was free. Propane gonna get expensive.

I would've but it seemed pretty boring and specific. It was basically thoughts on how to best adapt his programming to his goals and pointing out a couple basic concepts:
1) Lilly doesn't use traditional WS rep schemes on his DE days in the Cube Method, but does focus on speed, reinforcing form, and recovery (not necessarilly in that order)
2) The main exercise is not a variant in the Cube method generally or if it is it is one that is very similar to the competition lift (for a Powerlifter obviously it's the competition lift, here it's a bit more complex but basically he needs to figure out the best/fastest/efficient way of getting heavy **** over his head while standing), so the weakpoint training like Z presses is better suited as an assistance lift IMHO.
Turns out he was already on the same page. So I was redundant all over again.
The bad ones are often the best ones to show people in my experience. Personally, I'm looking for the most/best possible help, it has always seemed counterintuitive to me to wait until I feel like my form is spot on and/or lower the weight to where I can try to mimic textbook form so somebody can tell me it looks great. I'm not saying you are doing that, but I have seen a lot of people make that mistake, and have probably done it myself. Sometimes what you're doing is such a fustercluck that it doesn't provide a very good example (ie. you're having a horrible day and get pinned by 95% of your max and say "what did I do wrong?") but for the most part you can learn more from mistakes than successes.Last edited by dtaps24; 11-01-2012 at 01:37 PM.

RE Squat
*Temperature at time of training....47* F.
Squat
315 x 5
335 x 5
355 x 5
375 x 5
*There was a belt on under the shirt.
RDL
275 x 10 (5 sets)
*RDL/SLDL....whatever, these hammered my hamstrings.
BB Lunges
95 x 10 (5 sets)
Band Crunches
*Light Band
4 sets of 25
Very solid day. Squats felt pretty good, but could have been faster on the last set. The RDLs felt awesome. Lunges were embarrassingly tough, but I think the unilateral work will go far in my carrying events.

I love how heat from a wood stove feels. If this wasn't a rental house, there would be one in the garage at this time.
I am now sore!
Uh-huh

....
Uh-Huh....
The one thing I will say that we didn't talk about was that the Z press was "full range" of sorts. The thought was to press against contrast to try and utilize that to develop speed....but I didn't like it....and the push press/jerks will work better.
As for that last part....agree.Strongman Training Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=138026593

squats looked good...I hear you on the speed but you have to take into account the previous sets....and the fact that 5's absolutely suck

Speed has to be a focus on everything. Squats....pressing....pulling....everything. I wouldn't be upset with it if the last rep at 375 was as fast as the fourth....like it should have been. I just had a bit of a mental breakdown there and didn't follow through with the day's goal. I must get faster!

Concentrate on speed during all your accessry work as well, not just your compound movements. I'm sure you are, but just reinforce it mentally.
