Hey guys, so I just started using creatine. I might be imagining it but I think I'm starting to feel a little heavy on my feet during LISS. Is this a side effect of creatine? One of my main goals is to lose (keep) the weight off and I thought the creatine was supposed to be energizing but it feels ...

Since making the switch to I/A I deadlift every other session, but there's no set number. I usually just go by how I "feel" and what I have in store the day after. If I have Apex lined up, I'll do one set or skip it and do weighted pull-ups instead. When I'm in the 70-80% range I average a...

You might be getting a little too focused on the labels black and green. Both protocols contain HIC and E to varying degrees. Black favors HIC (or any short duration high intensity work) because HIC is more compatible if strength training is a high priority. The body uses the same energy pathways fo...

Good point. Goals are to maintain strength primarily. Hopefully increase a little but it's not the main goal I'd like to ideally in 3-4 months be able to run a sub 19:30 5k. Fin swim 1500m in 27min. 20+ pull-ups. 70+ push and sit ups. For a PT test clearly. Barbell training is my favorite but I rea...

What are your overall training goals? Might help to tailor the advice for your intended outcome..

Saw Mechanic: Resurrection a couple nights ago. Terrible! I'm a big fan of the original (Bronson) and even enjoyed the Statham remake. But Resurrection should've stayed dead. Avoid this one folks.

Not uncommon. That's the magic of greasing-the-groove. Mind you it only works if you keep things sub-maximal..I don't think it would be as effective if you tried to max out every workout

Can't even come close to topping G2B's excellent post, but I'll add that you might want to include kettlebell-Funruns. KB in a pack, go for an E run, stop and do swings/snatches/goblets every 5-10 mins.

Quick question on Strength Endurance I am not even close to a Dr. so what I am describing may be totally wrong in description but happens none the less. I have tried high rep stuff, mainly like Tabata style 20sec on/10 off high pulls with either olympic bars or 24K KB, and the tendons around my elb...

That is one hell of a transformation! Respect.
