    I forgot to ask. What is your benching style, Bodybuilding bench or powerlifting bench? I ask cause there is a big difference in form. I would use a powerlifting style for strength gains and bodybuilding style for muscle building if your in a calorie surplus. Keep up the heavy dips. You can...

    Told this at the UPS hub

    Lol. Had an unusual amount of Remington's come through yesterday. Supervisors were like "whoa, oh shit." I told them "put that down, you'll shoot your eye out kid" they weren't amused.

    stuck on chest

    I forgot to mention something important. The 10x3 @85% can be replaced with 6x6 @70%, 7x5 @75%, 8x4 @80%. The set reps and percentages are meant to introduce a heavy intensity level on your central nervous system (cns). Without over taxing your cns causing excessive soreness. Which will mess up...

    stuck on chest

    Hey blackout, just noticed you added some other questions. So I'll answer as best as I can. Yes 10 sets of 3 @85% max. Time it takes to complete? Typical for me maybe in the 30-40 min range.45-55min for squats. Figure 2-3 min rest between set benching and 3-10min rest for squats. Obviously...

    Yes i know what a squat is. Do you know who Kyle keough is? Or some other lifter that actually squat more than those guys you listed above. Top 10 in the world in crossfit doesn't fascinate me due to the fact is not all the top athletes in the world competed in the crossfit games. Kyle keough...

    First your right the discussion was originally about kipping. And how glassman studied gymnasts, branded crossfit yada yada. He is also fat and doesn't train what he preaches but a bunch of yahoos rave how it's the best thing. The video was to demonstrate the gymnast doing a 1finger pull-up and...

    Anybody else drank the Crossfit Koolaid?

    "Respectable" is subjective and was more geared to the crossfitter who thinks crossfit is producing the "fittest man". With that said surely a crossfitter should do better than an average runner. Won't comment on your results without knowing the full picture of your training. And I won't get...

    Meh, your numbers are respectable. Not bad but not great either especially when accounting for all your years training. How much do you weigh if i may ask? When you say your in your best shape due to crossfit, are you forgetting your years training which has built you up to this point in your...

    I just have to say WOW. The fastest way to tear your rotator cuff is going to failure into a dead hang? Really? Let's look at the two exercises and the motion your body is going through. Strict pull up starting from a dead hang- your shoulders are feeling tension through out the lift, as you go...

    Anybody else drank the Crossfit Koolaid?

    Your statement confuses me. You say kippin recruits more muscles, only problem with that is, your taking a body weight workout strictly an upper back/bicep workout and spreading it over many muscles as you say. What happens is many more muscles are distributing your body weight. Only problem...

    Health question: Swelling up in the heat.

    I'm no medic so take it for what its worth. First never ask medical conditions on the net. Go see a DR. If your concern. With that said, there is a lot of variables about you one would need to know to make a inform guess, this is what dr. do anyway. "As we exercise, blood flow is pushed into...

    What??? 3 sets of 4 with 200 pounds? Why limit yourself to just three sets. Why not 7-9 sets of 4 at 200? Here is a simple question. If a guy has a 300lb max bench, which workout is better for strength purposes. Workout a: 3 sets of 10 reps at 150lbs (50% max, 4500lbs moved) or Workout...

    Just to expand my first paragraph above. The reason i say steroid users or elite level lifters is for various reasons that don't apply to the average gym guy. First steroid users have already made up their mind, that they are going use anything and everything to get an advantage no matter how...

    Older guy needs help

    Health food stores telling you to get on a testosterone supplement are fucking idiots who don't have a clue. They are just trying to open your wallet. Testosterone based supplements dont work. If it did, you wouldn't be buying it at your local health food store. But would need a dr. Script...
