Hi, there! In my opinion it's right to set the focus on the core. For the abs I would recommand Cabel-Pullins, sidebends, reverse Crunches and some plank-variations. You got some lower back probs maybe you shouldn't do situps and hanging leg raises because they may hurt your lower back. Do...

Hi! As far as I know, you shouldn't explode from the beginning. You start slow and than increase the speed your way up. Maybe you should train the Power Clean a few month before swtiching to the High Pull to get that groove. You will start lighter compared to the Pull that may help you to...

Hi! Maybe this helps a little: The Tight Tan Slacks of Dezso Ban: Enhancing Endurance, Part One - Bill Starr and : The Tight Tan Slacks of Dezso Ban: Enhancing Endurance, Part Two - Bill Starr Greetz, C.

Training for explosivness ("Power")..Humm.. As far as I know for that aim, you take a weight that is 50-60% of your 1-RM and do 6-10 sets of 1-3 reps. But the Oly-Lifts are dynamic movements. So when you get better in these excercises than IMO you increase your explosivness. Olympic-Lifters...

Hi! In general snatches and co. are very so called "high-skill-exercises" (mentally, physically). The higher the reps the more there is the tendency, that the form gets sloppy! This could increase injuries of course. That ist why the reps are low but the sets are high, just to create enough...

Posted this link a few month ago, but also an option: The Tight Tan Slacks of Dezso Ban: Bigger Arms - Bill Starr Hope this helps!

to increase your squat would also be an option, too! :-) weighted chins with a focus on the negative part of the exercise could also be an interesting variation for the curls.. Greetz, C.

Hi! I would suggest: Snatches on leg-days. As your first exercise. 2-3 sets of 5 as a warm uop, than 5 working sets of 3. When weight gets heavier, reduce working-reps down to 1 or 2 and do more sets. Hang Cleans on your "trap-day" or fine, but couldn't you change your split a little bit...

Hi ! Well, herniated disks aren`t really funny! Don`t you know a physiotherapist/doctor (ostheopatic) or weightlifting-coach who has experience in this cases of back injuries? I would recomend to search one who knows well about this! So I just could tell you, what I would do if I we`re you...

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n Hi! @ moster: I think, if you need 90-120 minutes to complete your sessions, than take that time! On the other hand if you don't want to train that long, you've got to shorten your rests between the sets...

Hi! Well this is a real problem. How about performing Front-Squats? Or Lunges / Burlgarian Split Squats? Hack Squats with Barbell or Machine? Leg Press --> ultima ratio. Sumo-Deadlifts work also well for the thighs. To substitute Squats is hard, but not impossible! Good luck, C.

Hi, there! That's a pretty simple Strength-Routine. Ramping the weight to limit means that you're doing 5 progressiv heavier sets of five, being the last set your 5-max. On next Monday you increase the weight up by not more than 5 pounds. For light or medium days you're using less weight to...

I would recommeand Sitting Good Mornings. Just for not loosing to much strength in your lower back. Greetz and good healing, C.

Another Option: Do them on another Day f.e. on your Benchpress- oder Military Presses-Day.

Hi, Kyle! Here are some "Oldtimer"-Suggestions: The Tight Tan Slacks of Dezso Ban: Neck Training - Hoffman, Grimek, McCallum Remember - the first article is about neck specialisation. For just adding a little more work for your neck, I would prefer Grimeks tips. Hope this helps a little...
