Re: Base Building

After working through TB in the Spring Summer I had moved into double Kettlebell work and M Thai training for until September. I have been focusing on the double Clean and jerk and bent press.

Re: Help me think about HIC sprint workouts

Re: TB Reddit

Agreed on all counts. Might have to dig through some fluff but there's some real gold in there. This is a link to the front page and the newest material. There's currently a very thorough review up of TB by a SOF member, might be of interest for those taking that route: https://www.reddit.com/r/tact...

Re: Help me think about HIC sprint workouts

Just a quick one for now gents: There's some good information in this thread, but there's also a lot of misconception.

Re: Runner's Belly

https://www.runnersworld.com/newswire/how-to-avoid-stomach-problems-while-running According to the article I made one mistake: high fiber foods.

Re: Transcendental Meditation

I have no personal experience but I trust Kevin Rose his opinion on it. He mentions it is overpriced, while it is actually very simple and does work. To make it more accessible for everyone, he is developing an app called Oak, in a similar vein as Headspace. To hear himself describe it, listen here...

Re: Member Introductions Thread

Hello everyone, I'm about 9 months away from graduating college and shipping off to basic training for the Army. A little bit about me throughout my youth I was a power lifting football lineman who never ran more than a mile at a time. I decided at the end of my Freshman year of college that I want...
