I second the mad dipz guy. Full body workout, the big lifts. Best time/gain ratio. Esp. if you cant train regularly. I dunno where you live, but ... if weightlifting is really important to you, try to specialize in a field where you can leave the hospital if you want and get your own place, so...

Hell No !!! I demand my approved daily amount of entertaining journalling here ! You cant expect me to adapt to new stuff, like, other journals ! Hope you will be back soon :(

Just stopping by to say hello and wishing well. Btw, the game I am addicted to for years now is Neverwinternights - its really too much fun to play with people all over the world on really great servers. As a student, I was responsible for around a year to keep the nitrogen container of our...

There is nothing in this programm or in the principles that is new. I dont know what branch of science you are in, but if you jump to conclusions as fast as that and state your opinion as absolute and enthusiastically like here ... well ... you will notice that people will stop to listen, or...

Hm ... SLDLs ... good idea ... I dont like GMs, though. Or maybe the dls not strictly stiff legged, but a kind of romanian version. Thats less poundage, and I dont need to deload every rep, probably thats better for the higher reps. Thanks :)

Ok, thanks. So there are people who do this. My plan would be then Squat Bench Deadlift Military Rows possibly some assistance, maybe chins/dips/curls/tri some core work for 15/10/5 reps for 2 weeks each, increasing the weight on every day. Maybe a week or two of 3s after that. Hm. I havent...

Hi, the last months I have been doing the 5x5 and got quite good gains from that. (10-30 kg gains on the big lifts) However, I feel that the low reps and the need to PR every week takes its toll on my skeletal system, esp. the spine. So I would like to reduce the intensity a bit, and HST seems...

Instead of raising the bar you could try to lower your butt, you could either bend the knees more or spread the legs more apart. On the other hand, if you are parallel whilst using the rack you will be fine i think.

a bar exam ? Does that mean you did cocktails for 6 hours straight on 2 days ? Surprising you could lift something at all ... ;)

Sure ;) If I had such generous fat depositions like tweakle (well, I can see at least 6 of them in his avatar) I would need cardio too :p

I dunno ... BT certainly had a no-nonsense combat training for his chicken in the last months, after that fox business. I have the feeling that by now they lay steel eggs, throw foxes over the roof for fun and smoke cigars. Maybe not that fluffy and little.

Hehe ... to see that name in a post here really brings up old memories ... thanks BiggT !!

That article doesnt make too much sense. Its interesting as a case report, but the conlcusion to screen everybody is not practicable. First, there is nothing in the world without a death risk, even lying flat on your back has a risk of dying. Second, having a thoracal aortic aneurysm is only...

Thanks all. I'll try this. And maybe when we get another soccer worldcup in Berlin, and the gym is deserted, I will have the courage to do a vid. :) I am not falling forward in the squat. My ass is pretty far back, shins near to vertical, my knees are pushed outside. Or at least I think so...

Probably I should post a vid, but a) you will laugh, b), I already get enough strange looks in my gym. Squat: When it gets heavy (well, for me that is), I tend to stick at parallel on the way up. Then my body starts to compensate by leaning more forward so the hips can rise again and the knee...
