Re: OP + KB Swings questions

When using Operator (SQ/BP/WPU cluster), I typically do one session of swings right after my barbells. I use either a 106lbs bell or a 70lbs bell for 100 reps. If I use the 106, then I do sets of 10L-10R x 5, and I take anywhere from 30 sec to 90 sec between sets, depending on how ambitious I feel....

I'm stronger than I've ever been and still getting stronger. I hate to sound like Negative Nancy, but honestly, the thi...

Re: After 40 club

Certainly the guys that KB mentions here are extreme outliers, but there is a general point to be here. Those guys were probably extreme outliers their entire lives, and they are carrying it on well into their middle-age. Maybe the ex-SAS guy's time in a five mile ruck is a bit slower than when he ...

Re: After 40 club

I know this is preaching to the choir, hell preaching to the composer, here, but from my perspective TB seems pretty ideal for the over 40 crowd. It has the focus on the important stuff (SQ, DL, WPU) and provides a way to include conditioning. That's exactly how I feel. Well.. I am just entering th...

Re: Grouchyjarhead Training

I have been thinking of running my next BB (a year from now) with the similar structure. I am very interested in your experience.

Good luck and please post your progress/thoughts/feelings as you move along.
