after i finish my current HST cycle, I want to begin sprinting every other day (warm up followed by 10 hard 50-yard sprints or so). I know it's going to tire me out a lot but at the same time, I want...

For a few cycles, I'd been doing cycles of 10-8-5 instead of 15-10-5 or 12-8-5 and it has been working, but because my maxes for 10s and 8s are so close together, I realized that I am limiting myself...

If you had 4 weeks to work out and get results by the end of that time, how would you design your workout plan? Let's say you wanted to cut a bit of fat but get stronger and just look better overall....

What do you guys do about taking Thunder on days in which you do only cardio and no lifting? My plan is for each week to lift 3 days and do intense cardio for an hour 3 days. On the lifting days,...

Yea, when they said decrease, they meant that going backwards. So yes, if my 15 rep max for bench is 100lbs, then on the first workout of the 15 rep cycle, I would do 15 reps of 50lbs, and the next...

I understand your frustration with the program. It takes a lot of patience and you won't see results immediately (which is true of most programs though). From the sound of it, you might have...

Lower the weight. Hurts the ego but helps in long run.

Depending on which college you attend and how you do in terms of GPA and extracurriculars, I'd suggest I-banking if you can handle the workload. I'm about to be a junior in an ivy league school and...

Do pulldowns before you are finally able to do pullups. As for later on when you can do more than bodyweight, just add weights either with a weight belt (is that what they're called? the belts with...

I've also read in many places that soreness is not an indicator of progress. Sure, you may be sore the first time you lift after a long layoff but after that, it's not necessary at all. Madcow2 has...

you jump? like, as an explosive exercise? jump squats? in any case, as long as you aren't doing anything to injure yourself, squats are better than leg curls.

My current HST plan has Squats and SLDL to cover my legs, but I know how effective a regular deadlift is for overall development. I also know how taxing it is on the CNS and I would not try to do it...

people also used to believe the earth was the center of the universe and training 5 hours a day was optimal. i dont mean to be sarcastic but just cuz something doesnt "feel" right doesnt mean it's...

looks good bro, keep on truckin

Mine are pretty minor and I still worry about em. Not too worried tho, I'm used to them nowadays. For people for have that **** all over their body as if they'd been whipped tho...

Depending on how often you move around, it might be extremely hard to find a good gym. My friend who stayed in Beijing last summer also told me that the weights are generally very light, with...

Well, I dont want to sound like an authority on this topic but I've been reading up (a lot) recently on dual factor training. Look for a post by FortifiedIron called FI Corner of Goodies or something...

Thanks for all the advice guys. As for grip, I use the alternate one. It may be my form, I'll give it another go on the next deadlift day.

When you guys do deadlift, do you have the problem of hitting your knees on the way up and down? Do any of you have to do the sumo form to avoid this?

madcow, what exactly is the regimen you would recommend for advanced lifters? It seems like a lot of that stuff is geared towards beginner/intermediate, if I'm not mistaken? So for advanced lifters,...
