Re: Training for alpine skiing

I've found these 'leg blasters' to be pretty great https://www.backcountry.com/explore/tra ... ine-skiing

I've used them as a finisher after MS days, but wasn't able to go too hard on HIC runs the following day. They worked really well as part of my SE sessions though!

Re: Planes of Movement

I do like your thinking there WallBilly! I'm not sure that I understand the Heavier and Lighter distinctions that you are making Yeah sorry, it was a clumsy way of saying that because there's more weight moved on the BP/WPU than OHP/BB Row, doing them after a rest day may be better than after a work...

Planes of Movement

For a bit of variety and to keep things interesting, I'm looking to do a couple of blocks of Zulu I/A with a BP, SQ, WPU, OHP, BB Row cluster. Now I don't know if I'm splitting hairs here, but would there be any advantage / disadvantage to breaking up the days into a vertical push/pull day and a hor...

Re: Starving After LSS

I'm happy to be wrong, and am only basing this on a couple of training books I've read, but... LSS is usually in the lower heart rate range (50-70% or so), and it's my understanding that this range uses fat primarily as an energy source (as opposed to carbohydrates at higher HR), so increasing your ...

Re: Favorite Quotes & Excerpts?

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes s...

Re: What advice would you give a rank novice?

Is there a generally accepted idea about how long a linear progression scheme like GreySkull’s would continue to see progress? I only ask as I jumped into TB as a total beginner a year ago...against advice in threads like this, because I’m a special snowflake...and while I’ve been seeing some good r...

Re: Reverse Apex Hills?

I read it like that at first. I think he means... Swing-sprint-rest Instead of Sprint, swing, rest Yup that's what I meant, though it does look like I wrote it the other way sorry! Fixed the original :) I kinda' think the whole point of Apex is that you are swinging right about the time you are thi...

Reverse Apex Hills?

I'm looking at throwing in Apex Hills to my next continuation block, but the few hills I have nearby kind of finish up at a main road with nowhere to sit a KB. So I'm thinking about leaving a KB at the bottom of the hill, and doing "Swings - Hill Sprint - Rest" instead of "Sprint - Sw...

Re: SE to address Weakness with Knee joints (BB)

Goblet squats are great! Personally, I found that Bulgarian split squats did help me a lot in terms of knee strength/mobility and balance/stability in the past.. Even doing it with BW only. Keeping KB in a front will make it more knee oriented.. Just my 2c.. I'm just finishing up a BB block using B...

Re: A hidden benefit of Base Building

I've had a similar experience, with months of hip flexor soreness quickly disappearing after reintroducing a LSS run every OP week (ie Black/Pro). It really is magic!
