AB's Happy Smiley Thoughts journal

[blut wump]

From my own brief dalliance with OH squats, I'd say that just doing them, at this stage, is the best prep work for them. You need to find the groove and then start to add weight to the bar. If the bar feels like a significant weight then, maybe, return to your broom handle and try for some high-rep sets.

It's great to read that you're feeling chipper again. I'm looking forwards to some Huge Squat Training.

BTW, if you get Facts and Fallicies by Siff, he has a little ditty on the 'pull the belly button towards your spine' thing.

I went a bit overboard. Since I was ordering from the States (elitefts) and paying airmail, I figured I'd stock up and ordered the following:

• Siff, Facts and Fallacies
• Zatsiorsky, Science and Practice of Strength Training
• Siff, Supertraining 2003 6th Edition
• Dreschler,The Weightlifting Encyclopedia
• Bompa,Theory and Methodology of Training
• Medvedyev, A System of Multi Year Training

And from the uk (out of stock at elitefts):

• McGill, Ultimate Back Fitness & Performance, 2nd ed

That should keep me busy

Oh my gosh...I'm coming over. Address, please.

mmmmm......books!

I don't know Nelms, you always sound so busy out there in Iraq. Wouldn't it be better for IP to come over and read them on your behalf?

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

Always trying to help me out and selflessly seeking my best interests, AB. I truly appreciate that. You're a true friend.

That's not what the acronym HST stands for, numbnuts.

That's not what the acronym HST stands for, numbnuts.

But it could be, and, more importantly, has the advantage of immmediate name recognition. I suggest blut use anotherbutters as his human crash test dummy to refine this new HST (Huge Squat Training) and then market his treatise to the pre-conditioned public. It looks like a win-win situation for both blut and AB.

AB, I'm not sure if you want me to come over. I'll keep you up ALL night...

























with all the lights on as I'm reading and taking notes for Nelmsjer. Now, where was your mind...geez!

If only it was a muscle, I could have a great workout just by re-reading IP's post.
