1 Mile Run Test - 7:28 - Lifetime PR. Better than my pre-TB/BB mile time of 9:37 by 2 minutes and 9 seconds. I'll take it.

Don't know how I missed this. That's a massive improvement, nicely done!

Agreed. This is some serious progress. Impressive as hell.

Some of you may remember my call for help back in April regarding a short notice (~3 weeks) PFT I had to take. If not, you can refer to it here > http://tacticalbarbell.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=731&p=8107#p8107. Despite the board's best efforts to guide me and my prep, it just wasn't e...

Hi Mikhou, I'm new to the forum, although I've been lurking for a while. I'm also on the EO3 forums, and I thought I recognised the username. I'm currently using OMOB with SQ, BP, DL, OHP but I'll soon be starting Operator so that I can get more conditioning in my plan. I'm begrudgingly thinking of...

You're starting off from a place where you shouldn't try and do everything at once. Start off with just 3 E sessions a week in addition to your Muay Thai classes. Don't worry about the MS or SE training right now. Personally I'd ditch the yoga until your fundamentals are in place. So; 3 x E per wee...

Has anyone here taken the official course and used this?

Your plan looks good. Couple suggestions; Since you're training for something specific (marathon) don't bother with SE training for now. You'll get plenty of sport-specific SE through your weekly mileage. Doing a boatload of extra push-ups and such isn't going to help you run a better race and will ...

Consider a few things; The body works as a unit. It's not just individual muscles in play when you perform a set of a heavy compound exercise, it's also the CNS, and various energy systems. If you go straight from 5 reps of one exercise to 5 reps of another, you're venturing into hypertrophy-bodybui...

I've read that vitamin D does help with sleep by regulating the body's serotonin/melatonin systems. From what I understand, if you take the D at night there's a good chance it'll cause insomnia, but if you take it earlier in the day it'll help you sleep come bedtime.

It helps if you think of it in terms of "strength" and "conditioning". Strength qualities= MS, SE (Fighter, Op, SE only) Conditioning or cardio = E/HIC (Green/Black) You can pair SE with either E or HIC, Green or Black, just exercise a little judgement when picking your HICs. I'd...
