1. Check out the tactical pull-up form. I used to have the same elbow issues with pull-ups, but once I fixed my form I am a lot better. I literally have my arms MAYBE 1/2 a hand wider than my shoulders, it will seem very narrow but you sort of want to mirror the grip you take with your overhead pres...

I like mine where my heels are directly under my shoulders (i.e. shoulder width), and my feet are at a 30 - 45 degree angle. For you military types, it's going from position of attention (heels together, feet 45 degree angle), and just kicking feet out to shoulder width.

If you're 5' 5" then I would suggest a 3" wide belt. If I could, I would have went with the 3" with my Inzer belt. I am 5' 6" and it is a bit too wide that it makes it difficult to move properly, but is still useable. However I know the 3" would provide the same benefits wit...

This one is sufficient (I own one). If you're not powerlifting their is no need to go for an immensely heavy belt. Its also less rigid and won't pinch the skin.

I wanted to follow the program to a 'T' but am finding the same bore...

I do have one but need to replace the batteries. I know what u mean about going too fast, the Marine wants to push too hard and its tough to keep myself reigned in.

Rain isn't the issue, I am not going to be stupid and try to run outside in a thunderstorm.

When it thunderstorms, I choose to stay inside.

Hello All, So I am in a conundrum where I need to find a way to do the LSS cardio indoors without any machines (no treadmill, no rower...etc). The Customs and Border Protection does a 5 minute step-test as a physical fitness requirement prior to entry. I wonder if this is one option to perform low i...
