I constantly get asked what I do for my arm day. Telling them I just do weighted pull-ups seems to shock a lot of people. Yes! I get the exact same thing. Weighted pull-ups have done more for my biceps and lats than all the curls I use to do back in the day....and people don't believe me when I tel...

Copy that, thanks for the input

Thanks for the replies guys. I know what the talk-test is, my question is more for comparing the results of heart-rate monitor vs talk-test results. Did one method give you better results than the other? I guess that might be hard to tell conclusively though...

A question out of sheer curiosity gents.... a recent post on the sub got me thinking. Have any of you done your BB block using only the talk-test / no monitor? How did it work out for you? Any of you do both? How did one compare to the other in terms of final results?

I do like that cluster for Op tho, I've used it once or twice and it's awesome (BSQ/OHP/DL). I think I'm going to revisit it with Sumo or Trapbar.

Other than his nutrition stuff aimed at UFC fighters, I think his weight training advice is aimed more at guys that want to get as big and strong as possible vs ultimate all around performance per se.

Listening to Dolce is like listening to nails on a chalkboard and I apologize in advance, but I thought some of you might find this interesting. Minute 2 onward...sound familiar?

I gotta agree with the Doc here. Used to be in the "don't need it" camp, but that podcast along with other readings turned my ship around. Rogan actually does 3 or 4 interviews with her, and for the most part they're gold Jerry, gold.

@Tym87 I take the LEF 2-a-day.

Sounds like you're trying to do too much. If you're going to continue with S&S, then keep your Fighter cluster more minimal. If it were me I'd do OHP/FSQ/PU. If you're going heavy enough with S&S then your posterior chain should be getting worked pretty good. Adding in DL seems a little redu...

Attempted the almighty Duku-Duku challenge this weekend at my local slope....sweet Jesus it was tough! Managed 4 rounds with a 24kg bell. If you thought you were getting strange looks doing Apex... Shouldered the bell on the uphill, and Farmer's walk/suitcase on the downhill switching arms. Can't im...
