Try 5X5 ...

Hmmm... If you remember right, I told you last year that you were going to ruin your back training like you were... This is exactly why I warned you to stop.

I say you are a powerlifter when you compete in a PL event.. be it specific or all 3 lifts...... And if you want to know how serious of a powerlifter someone is.. ask them about their worst surgery.. if they tell you they've never had one.. I guarantee they are not a serious powerlifter.

If you're looking to be a BB give HST a shot. I know Brian as we Mod the training forum over at Meso and he's definitly a sharp guy... If you want to be a PL.. I highly recommend WSB.. However, I like to do a hybrid WSB and metal militia training split. As I train in my shirt once a week.

uggghhh the dreaded curler in the squat rack... well, atleast you actually use the damn thing.... which is better than 90% of all the gym rates everywhere! _______________________ Mod@mesorx Mod@outlawmuscle

This is actually from a Friend of Mine who is an Olympic Strength and conditioning coach.. I will post it.. JS stands for John Smith rows: Well, the best way to do them is to start with the bar on the floor every single rep. Your middle back will have slight bend to it. You pull the bar off the...

Dual Factor Strength Training!!!! OK, for those of you who's primary goal is just raw, gritty strength, while adding a decent amount of muscle then this is a slight variation of the DFHT-Revisited program. Also, as with DFHT, if you can't squat AT LEAST 1.5x your bodyweight Olympic Style, butt...

This was posted by one of my fellow Mods over at meso the other day.. It's apt and to the point, so I thought I would repost it here.. Originaly posted by Animal Mass Wow - I desperately need to come back to this board and start helping out the training section...Maybe we can get soem the old...

Congrats on your Personal Record.. be careful not to overtrain though..

Training to failure imo is over rated... EMG studies show that muscles are actually workerd harder by training on the threshold of failure rather than to failure and beyond (EG Negatives after immediatly completing a set).

I don't understand why pushing up 450 without a belt is a big deal at all? If you need a belt at lower weights (like at 265) your core is too weak. You need to strengthen your spinal erectors. You risk an injury by relying on a belt for lower weights like that because when you do go heavy, your...

Heavy Pull throughs, Glute Ham Raises, Dead lifting, Good mornings.. Personaly, I do pullthroughs at the end of every ME workout and GHR at the end of every DE workout (for you body builder guys that is I do them each once a week. I would add in three or four sets of 5 (Pullthroughs) to the...

Box squats are great... We powerlifters rarely do any other kind... Louie Simmons and Dave tate both Box squat and they have an incredible vertical (especailly louie considering how old he is and how bad his knees are) Box squats are good for you.. There is a reason that the strongest Men in...

It could be that you are overtrained. It could be that you have been focusing too much on bench alone. Do you bench in a shirt? Do you use Bands on benching for your DE days (using Bands too often for Upperbody can really tear you up)... Do you flat bench each week? Do you do extra Tricep work...

A lot of guys squat "Ass to Grass" or "Ass to Heels" so It's not going too deep that causes the problem; it's improper form and or having weak hips.. Weak hips will cause your knees to turn in while squating putting too much stress on the joint. Proper form and strengthening of your core will...
