To suit the OP's needs, I'd still say cycling can be beneficial. You could argue one way or another, but speaking from personal experience I'd say cycling is a great leg workout. Maybe do a...

I'm going to have to disagree. While it may not carry over directly to improved performance in squats and lunges, I think it could equally work the leg muscles. If you look at the legs of cyclists,...

having a pull-up bar at home is the best way to increase your max # of pull-ups. If you can get one at home then force yourself to do a few pull-ups SEVERAL times per day. If you can't get one at...

btw...stew smith ftmfw. thank you

Thank you rassno, benny 27, and once again pearldrummer for the input. I ran 4 miles today (the most I have EVER run), and will definitely be looking into the programs/ideas you all suggested. I...

Hey all, thanks for the replies. I know I shouldn't just try to pass a test, but I'd like to improve upon the things that I know I will need. I have been focusing on strength and powerlifting in...

Hey all, it's been a while since I've visited. I'll try to keep this short and sweet.

I'm trying to join the coast guard as an officer, and they have certain physical requirements to pass their...

yeah, please don't do this.

Your question may be received better in the injury/recovery or diet sections.

First question, what kind of injury? If any low back/hamstring issues, I'd be careful w/ all the squats.

Second, you don't need that many versions of squats during one workout. You have two...

I have a Shoulder/Trap day, and hang cleans/presses work perfectly for that day. If you're just doing the clean, I'd incorporate it in your back day, on alternating weeks with deadlift.

OVT is the program that helped me pack on 50 lbs of muscle.

chucks...it's like being barefoot

Ty Op for the videos and instruction. I've been trying to teach myself proper form for the past 2 years, but your vids/explanations helped more than experience has.

I'm pretty sure it is a flexibility issue. If you look at any post/article on doing front squats, which starts from the catch point of a power clean, you'll see that most people have difficulty in...

So you really think it's easier for tall guys to deadlift than short guys? I have to completely disagree. If you think about it, the taller you are, the higher you have to lift the weight, meaning...

when I'm working out in 8-12 rep range, I'll only work with the bottom 3/4 of the rep range. But when doing strength work, 1-6 reps for me, I'll use the full rep range. W/e works you the best...

I've found that doing power cleans and deadlifts has increased my grip and forearm strength dramatically. For more direct work, Heavy BB shrugs is good for grip and BB wrist curls is good for...

x3, was actually gonna say those things. My endurance has gotten way better with these two. good luck.
