One bump for the hell of it.

Thanks for your input, I'll definitely look into those programs. At first glance, the Fierce 5 seems to be pretty similar to Rippetoes.

Last winter and the months leading up to summer were the biggest I have ever been (around 170-175 lbs. at about 6'1"). I was doing Starting Strength and took my squat from about 165lbs. to stalling...

You are awesome. That was very helpful.



Thank you.

kaleida- judging by your picture, I am probably breaking parallel on some of them, and others not quite.



Interesting. I've seen it written a lot that shoulders should be behind the bar.. but...

Thank you for your reply. It's funny that I just read about focusing on pushing the floor and not pulling at the strong lifts site after I made the thread..so you're spot on. Good point about placing...

So I thought I was doing low bar squats, but after reading some and also having my brother tell me the bar looks like it is placed high, I suppose I am doing high bar squats. I know the video quality...

One last bump.. Anyone have any input on combining a 4-6 rep scheme with a 12-15 rep scheme for a two day a week full body routine? I want to get my strength up as well as strength endurance on...

Thank you for your reply.

I initially did not want to gain too much since it wouldn't be good for surfing.. but I agree with what you said about me not becoming to big. I'm almost 6'2" and around...

A user that was helping me develop a program recommended this thread to me saying I could get some knowledgeable answers here. Sorry if this is a repost, but I doubt it's been asked.

I'm pretty...

Davis- Yea, I do have a tendency to analyze into things a lot. It's just I wanted to start Monday (tomorrow), and I'd like to have everything 'in place'.
Are you guys sure it should be done as a...

Bumpity bump.

No one incorporates these exercises into their training?

So do we know for sure that if the proper form is done that dips can be done safely?

I don't have a shoulder injury, but I do want to strengthen my shoulders a bit because I feel like I could have...

Hey all-

Question: ** How many days of rest do you give your shoulders when you do exercises such as internal rotation, external rotation, the broomstick stretch/rotation, etc.


I don't really...

I don't recognize the guy in the middle, but..

I'm not saying bodybuilders are inflexible! I just know that IM extremely flexible, and flexibility is huge in surfing I'm learning (even though I've...

By deloads, I assume you mean just back off on a swim day or yoga if I feel exhausted? I think I am going to designate certain swim days strictly for 'breath' and just getting rid of lactic acid...

Bump.

Dont mean to bug anyone, as I've gotten a good amount of help and replies (more than other threads I've seen).

I'm just looking for some feedback from other experienced lifters as to...

Thanks for the quick reply themonkay.

Ok, so I guess put the deadlift in place for the pulling movement, and do them for both Workout A and B you're saying? I see where you're coming from, being...

Ok so I am taking everyone's advice and am going back to the full body workout routine. Fortunately, this will allow me to do yoga and improve on my flexibility, which is really lacking. There were...

Yea, I can definitely see where you are coming from. I suppose that applies to me as well. The only thing that's a little different is the fact that I'm on the east coast (NJ), and the waves can go...
