glenn pendlay here...

[glennpendlay]

I noticed that there was a lot of talk about the "5 by 5" type of training on this board lately, so I decided to post a little here since Ive been somewhat involved with that training style, and just wanted to introduce myself. Looking forward to talking to you guys about training...

 

[Madcow2]

Glenn, great to have you posting (a Plantinum Membership no less ). You have a substantial fan base installed here already that devours just about anything they can get their hands on. A number of people here have had a lot of success with the 5x5 style programs and I'm sure they are going to be thrilled to see you posting here and getting top quality information from someone of your calibur. Really kicks the forum up a huge notch.

 

[Jim Ouini]

That's great, looking forward to your insight. Many here have run 5 x 5 with a lot of success thanks to Madcow2 and co., both single factor and periodized versions. A lot of readers of Starting Strength, too.

Welcome!

One nice thing about this board is that it moves quickly and gets lots of exposure. Your knowledge will help scores of people!

Looking forward to your book BTW.

Wow, this is a surprise. A welcome addition to the EF family!

 

[Micker]

Awesome, glad to have you here!! I am finishing my first 5x5 and all I have to say is WOW!! Honestly, if someone told me that they had been shooting test into me at night I would believe it. I went up more in 8 weeks so far then the past year jsut about, with LESS work. My joints and tendons feel much better(was working arms too much) and I gained 7lbs(less fat too). Thank you and Madcow who brought his revised version to these boards.

[Joe Stick]

Good to have you here! I am going to start visiting this forum more often!

 

[Protobuilder]

Great to see Glenn here. I follow him elsewhere. For those of you who don't know Glenn, check this out: http://www.wichitafallsweightlifting.com/ Click on "videos" on the left and prepare to be AMAZED. The guys he trains are simply phenomenal. Everyone who sees the box jumps are just floored.

Glenn knows his shit!

 

[Cynical Simian]

Welcome to the forums. Like everybody else, I'm looking forward to what you have to say. You've already had a big impact on a lot of people here through madcow's program and posts/links about training theory.

 

[anotherbutters]

You don't know what you're letting yourself in for! madcow has done a brilliant job at opening people's eyes to better training theory based on your work. As he said, people devour just about anything you say and you've a lot of followers on here. A big welcome from me!

Perfect timing too - I'm beginning to slow down on the single factor and starting to play it by ear a bit. Your new book would be invaluable at this point, but having you on board in person is even better!

Hi Glenn.

At the moderators or the admin, I can´t understand one thing. In glenns profile, it says:

Where are these 101 posts? In the premiumarea?

 

[blut wump]

This is certainly off-topic to greeting Glenn but it basically means that he took out a one-month Plat membrship and has made one post. When you go Plat, it credits you with 100 posts for each month of 'Platness' that you take out. Maybe that should be 'Platitude'.

so....uh married? LOL.

 

[glennpendlay]

that pic is indeed me (the young one) but taken about 13 years ago when i was pretty much a kid! the old guy is medvedev and the pic is taken in moscow i think at a bar near the olympic training facility there. the russians like their vodka and he made sure i had my share of it.

to everyone else, sorry i didnt post or respond for a while, i was in puerto rico coaching the USA jr. pan am olympic weightlifting team at the pan americans... in weightlifting jr. means 20 years old or younger. we did great in spite of very bad conditions and won 23 medals and had 3 overall champions... the USA mens team finished 2nd to a very, very strong colombian team, and the USA womens team finished 4th. the quality of competition from the south american teams was very high.

but anyway, im back now, have to get over to the training hall soon but talk to you guys later.
