    Hybrid Strength Training...

    haven't posted in sometime. I dieted down and dropped by from 270's to 240's. Strength did take a hit but being in my 40's there is no reason to stay a 275'er. I may or may not compete again but that doesn't stop me from training my ass off... as Dave Tate says. I've switched to a 4 day split...

    Compression Shorts...

    So I have a pair of Ernie Frantz briefs and Inzer power pants. I'm not ready to break out anything with that much rebound so I was thinking of getting the new Rheband 7981 compression shorts or the Virus Au-11. Has anyone on here used either one? Just looking for a bit of support and keep my...

    Found my way back...

    Going back to my roots.... SST = specialized strength training. It used to have Oly training + PLing but slowly dropped most of the Oly lifting. Well.... I'm going back and I'm adding another angle to it... SM. I was talking to a friend of mine (who competed in WSM) who pointed out a very good...

    Bluetooth headphones?.?.?

    Looking to pick up some headphones and was wondering if anyone could give some suggestions. I know they need to be sweat-proof (damn near water proof b/c I sweat like a whore in church). They can't be obstructive and need a long battery life. Since the gym I'm training in is an open space I...

    Question to Competitors...

    A question to the competitors... How would you feel if you didn't have 24hr weigh ins? Meaning, what if you have to step on the scale and then start your warm up.

    An interesting question...

    If you're on FB you may have read Donnie's idea of dropping the squat bar from meets and using instead the buffalo bar. His reasoning was the straight squat bar causes shoulder issues down the road and mechanically the buffalo bar puts the lifter in a better position to squat the weight. He...

    Westside Vid

    Who's seen the promo for the Westside vs World video. I gotta say, it gives me goosebumps every time I watch it and it makes me want to toss some steel. Talk about an explosive environment that pushed the limits.

    Interesting Question...

    When I was younger, I always thought that I got stronger when I gained weight. My weight would increase and so would my numbers... with work performed of course. Now, I wonder if that's the case. Did I get actually get stronger or did the size/weight increase give me better levers allowing me...

    Slow Deadlifts... Super Slow

    I watched a vid from Mark Bell where he talked about performing slow conventional deadlifts. He would use a tempo of 4 sec up - 2 sec hold - 4 sec to lower the bar. Mark claims this training method helped him hit an all time PR pull of 705. I wanted to ask and see if anyone has tried these...

    Flat, Wooden Soled Shoe

    Thought this was interesting that Ivan is getting into PLing and not just sticking to Oly lifting. Here's a pic of their flat soled DL shoe. http://www.ristosports.com/weightlifting-shoes/deadlift-shoe-flat-sole-woodheel/

    SYB... New and Improved SST

    This new program is a joint effort... #PoB helped me take SST and take it to the next level. You'll see similarities to my last SST and there are also differences. I'm not going to post my layout b/c this was a joint effort and so it's not fair to post since I didn't create it myself. My...

    Squat Safety Straps...

    Many on here, myself included, use Spud Inc. safety straps when squatting as a safety precaution. Well, I decided for my second set I'm making for SS I'd make my own b/c I know what it should be, hold, work, etc.. and I have a set to go off of... my set. I was looking all around town for...

    Question for the Big Squatters...

    I read on FB the other day, Donnie Thompson saying that all of us raw squatters should squat in briefs to help extend the life of our hips. This had me thinking... I'm a raw lifter and squatting is my thing. I want 675 by the years end and I won't be happy at that, I'll want more and more...

    I'm looking to pick up a bluetooth portable speaker this weekend b/c I'm tired of the shit my gym is playing. I'm leaning towards the Bose Soundlink Mini but the charge time isn't great.... 7hours. I'm wondering though is there something better? I want mind numbing loud with quality sound and...

    Great Motivational Video

    I think the best piece of advice is given in this video..... "Believe in yourself, believe in yourself. That is the 1 thing NO one can teach you. Your coaches can't teach you this. YOU have to do it yourself. Work like the best. If you work hard enough you'll shape your behavior in ways...
