Do you think it is a good idea to reduce specificity to three days? Long H day?
Looks the same as Fighter Bangkok. :D

Should be fine. Assistance movements are not "skills" that you want to build, so 1x per week is fine.

Re: Assessing Assistance

Traditionally I've stuck with the basic barbell movements coupled with push-ups, pull-ups, and abs whenever I felt like it, but I'm looking to add leg raises, the ab wheel, and back extensions to my daily training. Would these 3 movements cover all bases, so to speak? I am having a bit of analysis ...

Re: Addressing weakness

After reading TBPenguin's reply, i take back my words. :D The spirit of the TB system is frequent submaximal practice, so if you are grinding because of sticking points, you are lifting too heavy. Submaximal should be fast/crisp. Example, 85% is roughly 5RM, so your work sets should be less than 5RM...

Re: Burpees during SE and rep modifications

The way i see SE is from another name: muscular endurance, ie the component that should be the limiting factor in the movement is your muscles. If the breathing is the one that is the limiting factor, then it becomes conditioning. Burpees has parts of the movement which the prime movers are not unde...

Re: Addressing weakness

It’s clear that at 87 kg my one rep maxes need improvement in two areas as my SQ/DL are much lower in comparison to my upper body lifts Or are there any other methods anyone’s used to address lagging lifts Which part of the movements are you weak in, ie sticking point? Example, for squat bottom pos...

Re: Minimalist SE Cluster

Has anyone done Minimalist Cluster for SE? There is one in the book that consists of KB Swings and Goblet Squats. Have you guys done the cluster or something similar to it with just a couple of exercises? How did it work for you? I am thinking of finishing my current BB with 3 weeks of Alpha SE and...
