Re: conditioning template within SE block?

3 SE, 3 E (should be LSS) each week. i know in TB2, there's the section on Progressive Green SE Template or something like that. But in either TB1 or 2(Ive read and then went back and browsed so many times, I cant remember which smaller sections were in which book) when he lays out what Alpha, Brav...

conditioning template within SE block?

I started a 3 week Alpha SE block yesterday to go in between my Op blocks and one thing I'm curious about is if you're supposed to continue your conditioning template for this 3 weeks or is an SE block meant to be done mostly by itself? Before starting, I reread the SE sections and searched here, an...

Re: Trap Bar DL (HH) vs Conventional Deadlift

For some reason I've always thought of the TBDL as huge quad exercise. Years ago I would straight bar dead lift on a regular basis but when I tried to get back into it recently I found it really difficult to do (a combination of lower back problems and poor hip mobility). For those that do TBDL AND...

Re: Finishing 2nd block of Op, want feedback on new cluster for 6 week block

On the cluster you mentioned of OHP, WCU's, and TB Deads, did you treat deads like a main cluster lift and do it 3 times a week? If so, that sounds like a fun cluster. Yes it was just OHP, WCUs and TB Deads, using the Operator template. I was doing assistance, SE, E, etc. like I felt, same for mobi...

Re: Finishing 2nd block of Op, want feedback on new cluster for 6 week block

The first part of your post is great, good job for sticking to everything for that long, Im sure the progress has been great. The second part, that cluster makes no sense. The logic behind 3 lifts clusters (and why the big 3 in powerlifter make no sense imo) is to have a lower body movement, a pull...

Re: Finishing 2nd block of Op, want feedback on new cluster for 6 week block

Like the title says, at the end of this week, I'll be finishing up my 2nd 12 week block of Op/Black and wanting a bit of feedback on where to go from here. FWIW, my TB experience has been Strength First Base Building, week off, 12 week Op/Black, week off, 12 week Op/Black...ive used the same cluste...

Re: Finishing 2nd block of Op, want feedback on new cluster for 6 week block

Lots of S&C coaches sing the praises of dips, but I'm curious, what's the thinking behind leaving out a traditional back exercise? I'd worry about imbalance. I've been hitting DL's every week since starting BB....so basically 32 weeks(of course I wasnt new to the deadlift by any means when star...

Re: Ideas for SE-Circuits/Clusters

Personally, I find SE cluster with 4-5 exercises to be perfect. I did 7 for my very first BB and boy it was overkill :roll: 7?....embracing the suck, huh? :lol: yeah, since most of this is bodyweight 6 works but just barely. had I wanted to include another weighted exercise, I probably would have m...

Re: Ideas for SE-Circuits/Clusters

bumping this just for another cluster idea. I'm in the last week of BB(i did strength focused) so the these last 3 weeks are when I incorporated SE. Went with bodyweight squats, kipping pullups, pushups, KB swings @ 24kg, Ab-mat situps, back extensions. This has proven to be an excellent cluster tha...
