Thanks for the replies everyone. I've since returned to walking to stay within the 50-70% MHR. I've been tweaking the treadmill settings by adjusting the elevation and increasing the speed and when my heart rate passes the 70% threshold I reduce the incline. I've been doing my 30m sessions at aroun...

just to be blunt, I would realize that your goal of carrying 60lb over the course of 5 miles at an 8 minute pace is 99.9% undoable, not merely on an individual level, but because that would be some extremely rare territory(if that is even possible and I dont really think it is). the reason i say tha...

Good Afternoon, I began weight-training on the Starting Strength protocol before moving onto 5/3/1. Along the way, the Squat has continued to be a hassle, and on several occasions I have tweaked my lower back which left me with back spasms and pushing progress back 2 or 3 weeks at a time. These &qu...

I've been doing (for the most part) the following cluster: High Handle Trap Bar Deadlifts, Ring Chin Ups and Strict Standing Overhead Press. I have obviously done tons of squats and conv deadlifts over the years and I always notice the same thing; it takes tons of warming up and even then, the smal...

bumping this to see if anyone has completed a cluster of the OP(TBDL, weighted dips and WCU/WPU) and how they liked it, progress, etc. Ive been dealing with a bulged disc for the last two months and am still rehabbing it. I had to quit during my 3rd week of my 3rd block of Op/Black, which was nearly...

Thanks a lot for the great reply (and to the others too, it's the first time that KB posts in my thread). I have a second question if you don't mind: are all the % used based on a TM or a 1RM estimate? For the blocks I've ran I based my % of my 1RM and it worked fine, but I wonder if I have been wr...

was doing some extra reading on TBDL's and found this t-nation article. I knew most of what it was talking about, but what really surprised me is the info under "More Power". Anyway, some of what I read in my browsing of different information, I'm totally on board with making the TBDL the...

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, Bravo and Tango are(not to mention other ...

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, a...
