I have done MMA over 10 years and recently I have had a herniated disk in the lower back, massed up shoulder, bad ankles... To top it off I'm a full time collage student and have a full time job, I really don't have time or money to go 2x a day. Recently my buddy got me into weightlifting but I hit...

Hey Guys - Over the next few weeks, I'll be doing a series of day hikes and writing up Trip Reports for each. Basically, the first few are in MA, but the bulk of them will be in the Pac NW. I'll make sure to make the commentary colorful, emphasize parts of the trip to make it fun to read,...

Ive been hurt for a while and for a few months did light calisthenics to get back into the swing of things. Im ready to start lifting heavy again and get huge and jacked. But I also am playing rugby this fall for fun and to get the hang of it and see if I want to do it seriously (which I most...

ABOUT ME: I am 23yo. I have been hitting the gym regularly for just over a year now and am looking for something outside of plain bodybuilding now. I've been out of footy for nearly 2 years now and am looking at getting back in to it. So I'm trying to devise a bit of a program to get me back in...

Hello! So I figured as Off Season started for me it's time to get serious in the weight room so I can come back faster and stronger when my next track season begins in October. I live abroad in the Middle East and the season here is October - April so it's a little different. And I'm a teacher...

6'1 234.4 (14.4%) OHP 225 SQUAT 435 (BOX) DEADLIFT 455 I've been cutting in an attempt to dunk again. I haven't dunked since I was 19-20, now I'm back to the point where I can dunk a youth ball. If I can get back down to 225 I think I'll be just fine. That being said I'm also lifting 4x a...

I have been lurking for a very long time and decided to make this account. To start off I am a sprinter, as the title implies, and run whatever my high school coach tells me to in the indoor and outdoor seasons (I prefer the shorter sprints though). Here are my times from my previous year as a...

So, you have all probably seen me around the boards answering questions, but this is the first time I have done a training log. My Goals: 1. Motivate myself to train consistently. 2. Experiment using various training techniques on myself. 3. Answer questions on vertical jump training and...

I am currently looking for a new grappling glove. I currently use 14oz Winning gloves, but I just don't really feel comfortable. I'm really looking for a very slim glove that is still very comfortable especially for my hands which are medium size, I sort of have long fingers. I have heard Zepol...

Figured I would make one of these, just to keep things on track and organized. Currently approaching my off-season for rugby, planning on getting faster while either maintaining my strength or gaining some. I'm playing hooker right now, but switch off at prop sometimes (a smaller prop lol) ...

I figured I would use a thread to document my own progress as I had quite a lot of success staying motivated doing Rippetoe's starting strength. I'm 20, 5,10 around 75kgs in good shape but been in a slump recently due to getting ill, christmas work etc I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Thai boxing...

I am at that point in my life where I am getting rid of many things. I have a complete printed set of Stuart McRobert's Hardgainer Magazine Issue 1 through 89. I am wondering if these are of value to anyone, and whether they are worth anything? I notice there are some individual copies available on...

The Progression of an Eventual Fighter Everybody has something that they want. Something that they wish to be true. In fact, everybody wishes a lot of things. I would love to have a check fall into my lap with lots of zeros on it and most likely you would as well. However, that is not very...

I'm moving to America after several months and I really want to get in to football, but there's no football in my country only soccer. What kind of workouts or physical preparation should I be taking up until I move to America? Should I focus on speed and stamina or size and strength if I'm hoping...

This log is to document my training for general strength, power, sprinting and potentially some jumping in the near future. My goal is to compete in my first race before the end of this year, either the 100m or the 60m, I'm not too bothered. I would also like to start training for long jump at...
