How does this work? Can you separate into beginner, intermediate, and advanced and say you only need 3 programs? Or, do you really need to switch things up more often than that?
I was thinking about things from an athletic perspective. Mainly a grappling or MMA perspective as those are the most common sports in which you'll find yourself on your back and in need of pushing....
With you there but just trying to spark a conversation and get people thinking about exercise. Some people may get great carry-over from their floor-press to their bench-press. It hasn't done much...
No, I nailed it (for me). Low rep Front-Squats, high rep High Bar, and then higher rep p-chain stuff. Great squat day, but definitely can't ditch the back-squat.
If your number one goal is building as big a deadlift as possible then would it be a mistake to replace high-bar squats with front-squats as your other main-lift?
I can get 8 to 10 reps with my legs bent, but I get tired in my grip AND upper-back. I really don't feel like my abs have been worked like I desire though. Going straight to the dip bars is better,...
Yes, I think that 8 or 9 is smarter than 10. Also, I tried the straps I use to row with my 2nd set. I had only those currently. I did it with hook-grip and then the dip bars next and was able to...
Doing GZCL programming again. Wondering what the RPE should be for T1 exercises. I don't use RPE usually, but it's the simplest way to ask the question and I wonder if I go to heavy. I know you're...
I disagree..in some cases. I think that you're talking about one style of training, and I like to start my workouts with that style of training. However, the hypertrophy focused remainder of the...
How close to lock out do you push. I've been stopping around a little past a quarter from the top, trying to stay where it feels the hardest. Down to a little past parallel and then up to around a...
I see where you are coming from, but it's surprising how much a professional can help you. He may catch one or two little things that you are doing wrong and don't even realize you're doing wrong,...
I also thought the technique on the deadlift was dangerous. The only reason this would matter is for the sake of not hurting your lower-back. If you feel safe doing it then so be it, but if my...
The way to do them with a standard bar and without a pad and minimize discomfort, is to start light and work your way up. Your bones need to get stronger.
Yes, slider curls are amazing. And less expensive than a leg curl machine or a glute/ham raise. Especially, when you just use an old piece of clothing to slide on and some weight plates to put on...
Anyone use these? I've read that reverse grip increases the activation of the upper-pec and incline obviously does that too. I was wondering if it may force you to use less weight, which could mean...
