And, I agree with TBPenguin's observations about aging making it harder to bounce back. Solid article. It's fun to bash T-Nation but they really do put out a lot of great material onc...

Great log man, very consistent. Will be following along.

I like to sub in weighted bodyweight exercises and keep the volume at a bare minimum. Have you considered 1 legged squats or 1 legged deadlifts paired with a 1 arm press? You could also add weighted pullups. All of these exercises will have a lower total volume of weight and might even sure up some...

Finished my first block of Operator I/A and don't think I'll ever switch to another template. On average I took the full two days in between each MS session. I felt more solid on my squats, coming off a Fighter template where you don't hit Strength as frequently. I think more frequency is very impo...

Just stick to forced progression like Mikhou suggests. Retest has its place, when coming back from a long layoff or in between different phases, but in general forced progression is much more efficient. Especially if you're not a rank novice.

Hello, when you end BB and start for example black protocol. I saw a post of KB saying that for the E sessions, you don't have to look HR anymore, just start adding speed/pressure. Am I right?

plus 2 days of BJJ per week i have to be honest....i'm starting to feel it a bit question - can i drop one of the fast 5's? i think each are helping me a lot, so i wouldn't want to drop one completely. I would drop BJJ before I dropped a run. You have a very specific goal (PFT performance). I don't...

As a runner, on amateurish level, I did have quite of running under my belt prior to starting TB. Few half marathons and a handful of trail/mud races. Did a BB block to begin with in january, but did not push it, rather did the minimum for the E´s. Began Op+Black and started to get familiar with HI...
