If you've eliminated shoulders from the game, then you might not be doing it right, haha.

Just outta curiosity, do you suggest hip thrusts be done light in general or should they be done heavy? They're a REALLY weird exercise, but one of my training buddy loves doing them with 3-4 plates...

Now THIS is an interesting log. Don't often see grip-centric programs 'round here.

Running Smolov and Sheiko concurrently sounds like the most painful thing ever.

Gasp. Testing the new 5/3/1 strategy!

SATURDAY

SQUAT
135x10
225x5
265x5
305x5
345x5 - Belt dug in. Ow.

Thanks for chiming in dude. I just made the conversion and I think it's gonna make a big difference.

Don't get me wrong, Juggernaut gave me good progress, but mostly in the 8-15 rep area. Cool as...

It's not 16 weeks to see if you're making progress. It's 4 weeks. Every month you test at a given weight for prescribed reps.

Step 1: Are you competing? If so, look into the rules.

Step 2: If not competing, I prefer flat foot. I'm a lot more stable, and a number of heavy heavy benchers both raw (James Henderson, Jeremy...

Now THAT sounds interesting. I like it, I like it.

I just started my cycle of 8s, so I suppose I can just run 'er as I wrote above. It's something that struck me when I was doing the "Acclimation" phase of the 10s cycle because I didn't go under 10...

Just wondering if anyone has opinions on here.

I feel like Juggs is giving me great progress in terms of overall strength and whatnot, but I'm a little concerned that my low-rep strength isn't...

THURSDAY

MILITARY PRESS
45x10
95x5
130x5x8 - This got tougher than I would have liked.

DB ROWS
140x4x6 - Good feeling here

I was the guy with the fake skull tattoo on the side of his head that had to bow out after the farmer's walk. My team had the guy that lifted the HW Open log after they were done just to be an...

**** happens.

And yeah, that's the thing with high-rep squats. I have a video of me hitting 15 with 315, and I definitely coulda gone for 20 but I was seeing stars and was ready to pass out by the...

Welp. ****ty competition, lots of depression, kinda fell behind. I'll start this up again soon.

Welp. I hurt my back in the first event at my strongman meet, had to bow out. Redoublin' efforts for the next one, I guess.

I still stand by my initial statement, however I suppose I said it badly. I think what I mean by "lean forward" you mean by "having a severe back angle", yeah? Like, when I see Steve Goggins, I say...

... I think we're running under different definitions of things here. Because now it's turning into semantics.

He's one of my favorite lifters, so yes, LOL.

My point, again, is that bending forward is not, by itself, an indicator of a weak posterior chain, and back squatters like Goggins bear me out on...

The funny thing is, we're both right.

See, there are TWO ways to end up with your hips up but bent forward. This hit me last night but I wasn't at my computer and didn't feel like popping it open...
