I like my Karins DD. The first time I wore my DD in a meet I only got 525, something I surely could have done in my single poly. So at the time I didn't like my shirt either. But after practicing with it for a long time, I feel I have learned it. Don't give up on the DD. They take time to...

Thanks for the update Spatts. Ultimate training mode is about to kick in.

I don't know all the details, but I say do the meet. I would anyway.

I talked to Martin from elitefts. about running against resistance. He said you shouldn't slow down more than 15% or your from will suffer to much. I have little experience with running against resistance, but this is what I've been told.

Thanks guys. That's good work by them, calling me Ryan.

It's been just a bit over three weeks since I popped my hamstring. Today I was able to do rack pulls from mid shin level, up to 635. Not a lot of weight, but encouraging for me. I stopped because I didn't want to push it too much too soon, especially since I don't have a meet for a while. I...

VDOP, that sucks man. At least you have a meet coming up soon where you can make up for that. Just use it to get pissed off on squatting days. Have you been training with the monolift lately. Some KC guys were hoping they could make the trip to Tulsa to train on the monolift. Maybe you...

Test it man. I say take some weight after DE day. Your meet is coming up soon. You have the strength to squat something real big, the only thing you need to do is learn your suit. I'll be interested to see how you like it. Is it tight enough that you'll have to stay 275, or is there still...

This Tuesday I was able to deadlift 245 for 3 sets of 15 with no pain. I even did leg curls with my hurt leg. This was with very little weight though. I squatted all the way down pretty quickly with 135 as well. Things seems to be going well. Basically I have been doing light exercises for...

Hannibal, I have access to a pool here at school, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks man. BigWh1tey, damn that sucks. I like the six week recovery that DBCooper was talking about better than 1 year. Hopefully I'll fall into the 6 week category. I have no depression in my muscle, so that's...

Update on the injury. Today, I was squatting with just the bar. I think that's awesome considering I couldn't walk 48 hrs. before that. Tomorrow's ME squat day, so I'll do hella reps with the bar and band leg curls. I won't push it too hard, but I want to do what I can.

I'm feelin my name being drawn. Then I can use my money to buy more food instead of a new squat suit. Or maybe even a deadlift suit.

I got this of elitefts.com. This is Dave Tate answering a question. Don't think I'd do this before a workout. My arm would fall off if I did all this before I benched, but this may be helpfull stuff anyway. I think I hurt my rotator cuff. What should I do to rehab it? Use 5 pounds for...

I bet you can get supertraining from Dave Tate at elitefts.com. Another really good book is Science of Sports Training by Kurz.

Brute, thanks man. Liftbig, that is another very encouraging peice of info. Thanks for the input. That is great.
