Re: Medicine Ball Cleans
I am proud to say I don't personally know anyone who has done one of these. If I ever witnessed a friend performing this, the next move he would perform would be catching a medicine ball with his...

Re: good strength exercise for BJJ with gi
Snatch and press your bodyweight. Find you some blue plates--the real ones, not the illegitimate crap--and work with em. C&J with 2 on each side, squat with 3, and deadlift with 4. You will find that...

Re: 2 Hands Anyhow anyone?
It's more of a fun thing to do than a training focus. Try it for the hell of it after you're doing other stuff. Otherwise, you'll have to start doing the bent press.
We have safer, more efficient...

Re: Dropping the bench press from SS?
I love the bench press hate. You people seem to think an exercise is not functional if you do not mimic the movement exactly in nature. By that thinking, we should assume a squat only helps when...

Re: 2 Hands Anyhow anyone?
Jim, nice work!
Anyone who purports to train with weight should recognize this exercise. You should also attempt this exercise, at least for fun and to pay homage to the strong men of the past.

Re: Dropping the bench press from SS?
If you're pressing 55kg, you're really not in a position to make determinations about strength.
Your triceps are weak. Guess what exercise you can do to strengthen them? On press day, follow it...

Re: I'm an idiot...and I've got rhabdo
Enough that I don't feel sorry for anyone who rhabdo's themselves this way.
Besides rhabdo and getting a little tired, what do high rep roman chair situps do for you? Every time you train, you...

Re: Whats next? What do you "do" with fitness?
True. There is a threshold amount that everyone probably needs. There is a greater amount that makes things comfortable. Then there is the point of obsession, where constant talk and bragging about...

Re: Different types of Strength Programming
Of course you disagree, Sean. Your CFT is 490 and you're trying to create your own fitness system.
Re-read my additional post if strength is your goal. 5 years. Under the bar. Basic program. No...

Re: Different types of Strength Programming
As a self-admitted newb, you need to log off, chalk up, and spend 5 years under a bar without worrying about all this other crap. Do 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps in the basic lifts--squat, bench, deadlift,...

The biggest problem with most people is that they...

No.

Interesting, Tish. I'd suggest adding a few items to this exercise.
You should make a short list. Don't post it or send it out to your respondents yet.
