BB starts tomorrow It's finally here. Tomorrow, I am starting the "Sample 17 Week Program" found in TB2. Base Building followed by Black + Operator. I need the "do this" approach, exactly as the book describes. I want to experience TB "by the numbers" before I start tr...

Until I can start the proper BB block, I am going to ease into BB mode with scaled down versions of the SE circuits and running. Four weeks of slow progressi...

I have to stay in shape for my job. I have a lot of "experience" with exercise (i.e., doing PT and S/C programs Rx'd by others). I don't have much real expertise in creating my own programming, and it has started to show over the last couple years. I stumbled upon r/tacticalbarbell and qui...
