The reddit OP is doing 5-7 warm-up sets, so that explains his 90+min MS sessions. I would never say someone is wrong for warming up, but I'm not sure how 5-7 warm-up sets squares with the principal of lowest effective dose - which for me is part of the magic of TB. I hope people don't read OP's post...

My two cents on calculating weights for pull-ups (I also weigh about 240): I just wing it. Currently, I use BW for week 1, add a 35lb plate for week 2, add a second 35lb plate for week 3. Repeat. I find that it puts me in the sweet spot for 'challenging' and I don't really worry about it beyond tha...

Block 17 Fighter Bangkok + Green Weeks 4, 5, 6 First things first: Equipment update I bought an Airdyne.  Went with the AD7.  As far as I can tell, the AD7 is same bike as the Pro.  But the Pro has a commercial facility warranty.  I was tempted by the AD6 and it's lower price tag. I went back and f...

Block 17 Fighter Bangkok + Green Phase 1 I decided to train for a race. Target is either 5k or 10k. I sat down with a friend who has more running expertise than me. We mapped out a phased running plan to fit with Fighter. Each "phase" is three weeks. No ground breaking stuff here. Just he...

This is a great topic. Love the focus on basic MED techniques. Especially tourniquets. Incorporate tourniquets into PT. Tourniquet relay races. Safely adds stress, time pressure, sweaty skin, etc. Sprint 100-200m, apply tourniquet, instructor verifies correct application, next participant departs, r...

Solid cluster. IMO, the 20min AMRAP you describe would be HIC. The text says to focus on certain HICs during BB to get the correct adaptations. You could structure it into Tango circuits to make it "by the book" SE. Something like: 5 Pull up 1min rest Press (empty bar) x 1min 1min rest Gob...
