sick.
hopefully they're making a type v for wider squatting.

[Jason2459]

FYI, bb.com black theme is way better than mobile theme and fits to screen better than default.

Agreed. Once you go black ...

very interested to see reviews on this one once people start using it. There needs to be another company or two that makes GOOD single ply IPF gear. I absolutly love my Metal deadlifter but idk if I trust that material for squatting. It stretches way too fast.

I started using it because the lifter rankings actually line up with the black website style and not the default for some reason.

I never knew there were other themes to this forum.

...This is so much better than starting at a bright ass white screen.

[SPFjudge]

I can't get used to the black screen. I like it better white (no racist)

Same here. I suppose its good (democratic lol) to give people a choice but it just doesn't look as sexy when black.

[darren.dugan]

You guys are crazy. Black background is way more sexy than white. Way easier on the eyes when reading in the dark too.

Anyway, I think I'm going to check out a legit gym on Monday to see if it is worth driving across town for vs the commercial gym 2 minutes away. A SPF multi-ply team trains there Westside style so they gotta have some good equipment and some like minded peeps.

finished reading a pretty good write up on the sumo deadlift from 1980

[Jason2459]

here's a good one on the conventional deadlift from 1983 including troubleshooting issues at different areas where the sumo one above was more of a tutorial.

You pull Sumo I am assuming?
I have been toying with replacing one of my assistance moves on DL or squat day with Sumos since I have never really done them.

Crunched the numbers: would cost me a solid $100 in gas a month to drive to the good gym. Looks like I'm gonna have to suck it up and go to the commercial gym at abnormal times to avoid the crowd. At least there is a platform and eye candy there.

I train both and in meets I pull sumo as I'm stronger that way. I decided to start a new thread with these articles in them to start it out on what have you learned today... I believe pulling sumo will assist the squat more then it would assist the conventional pull. A conventional pull will assist both a squat and the sumo pull.

I go at 11:30 am for this reason, but we have no platform.

Link that sounds like a thread I would sub to

Do you think doing Sumos after conventional Deads would be too much or would it just be similar to if I did BBB assistance work? I am just wondering because that article said that Sumos are better for 1 rep pulls than for reps

singles in conventional or sumo are better to be done.

[bmontgomery87]

Deloading a bit this week before another cycle of 5x5. With all this sumo talk I decided to try them.
Worked up to a triple with 305. I didn't want to go heavy, these didn't feel too terrible. Filmed a set and was surprised at what a good angle your back is in when you pull sumo.

I still definitely like conventional but may throw this in as a second movement from time to time.

I think I heard somewhere that Jim made 250k+ off of his variations of 5/3/1. Lou has made a hell of a lot over the years, and from what I've heard the majority of that is from his equipment patents.

Holy cow. That's some serious money for a cookie cutter program (no 5/3/1 hate, it did a lot for my lifts).

Simmons definitely brings in some money with all of the crazy equipment. overpriced t shirts. resistance bands. etc. And the books are pricey man. I think the book of methods is 50-60 bucks. Then you throw in some dvds and squat manuals and people really spend some cash.

Yea that is some good money. I think he got a lot of that money from selling his program for Crossfit and military training.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to SPFjudge again.

So get this fam. I upgrade my Iphone to IOS 6, and now my phone won't connect to my computer because my Itunes isn't updated. I can't update Itunes because my OSX hasn't been updated (IE i didn't pay the money for snow leopard). And now, I can't update my OSX (even paying for it) because I can't use the Mac app store because my OSX isn't updated. What in the flying phuck, Apple. You've just lost a fanboy

[zmcdole]

My mind had just pieced itself back together after Spoto obliterated it. Looks like I'm gonna have to pick up the pieces again......
