Re: November [censored] thread
Kind of an advanced question:
Assume I am training the deadlift heavy 1x5 every other workout, I am training 3 times a week, and on the other days I do power cleans 5x3. When will my ability to lift be the greatest, after a a 4 day span or a 5 day span? When do gains start to disappear? I feel like I can add ten pounds every so often for a while on the deadlift, but not every time, and wanted to do the bigger jump when I am at my strongest. |

Last rugby game of the season on saturday ([censored] you williams) so I can start actually going to the gym more than once a week. 2x370 deadlift today though, felt like I popped a blood vessel in my eye which was totally sweet.
Tabata C2 rowing is the devil. |

Heres a random hint:
If you have less than perfect form for squats and deads, you will get a [censored] load better from getting a more flexible posterior chain. Learn how to stretch your posterior chain completley and focus on getting your flexibilty in balance. Your form will improve a grip. |

Re: November [censored] thread
Q1: Would it be useful to practice form for a beginning weight training routine with a broom handle or do I need an olympic bar to learn good form?
Q2: How can I practice deadlift form with just the bar? Set up blocks at approximately the height the bar would be with 45s? I plan to do a basic Overhead Press/Deadlift/Squat routine 3x week. I will prob. alternate DL and Squat days once I work up to lifting heavier weights. |

Re: November [censored] thread
1) Broom handle is good.
2) Yes, blocks or those Olympic plates. |

Cindy is 5 pullups, 10 pullups, 15 squats as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes. 23 rounds! i died barely getting 13 rounds in march when i first tried it. this was a grind, but i still had a ton of gas left after laying on the floor for ten minutes to recover. later.
