Re: Ageless Athlete Discussion Thread

Hi Jim, Bought your book a couple of days ago and I'm really enjoying it so far! This isn't really a question about your book but I'm wondering since you've completed the S&S program. When you reached the sinister goal, how was your conditioning (aerobic & anaerobic) and strength? How was th...

Pavel's anti-glycolytic training

Hi everyone, I've been reading up on this over at StrongFirst. As I understand it, the glycolytic system is the one you enter after the alactic (anaerobic) system runs out of steam. They favor either the alactic or the anaerobic system, and say athletes shouldn't spend much time in the glycolytic sy...

Re: Raw Eggs?

I personally don't give a damn and gulp down a couple of them every week, or blend them in a shake (which makes it nice and creamy). Tastes like nothing but feels like slime running down your throat though.

Re: Base Building Part Two

I should've emphasized that I'm not looking to finish first. I'll give it my all but I'm not concerned with competitive times.

Re: Base Building Part Two

That my problem, I would do the race in two months time so there's just enough time to do BB. If I had more time, I'd probably do it the way you suggest. Thanks for the reply!

Re: Base Building Part Two

Thanks, I was thinking about working up to a 10k as well. Shouldn't be that much of a problem, I've done more in the past.

Base Building Part Two

Hi everyone, I'm planning to run my second BB block during the coming months. I've done it last year and trained with OP/Black for the rest of the year. I feel my aerobic conditioning could use an upgrade after a year. Questions: - I would like to enter an obstacle race in May. I've never done that ...

Re: TB for a Meathead

first block 3 sets, next block 4 sets with the same weights and finally 5 sets with the same weights. Force progression and start all over with 3 sets.
