Monday:
Didn't really feel like a longer workout (20 mintues isn't long at all but I still didn't feel like it) so I decided to test my max pull ups. Previously I had been stuck at 12 on my rings,...

Thats hard out.

Do you ever get joint pain from such high volume, or does good form prevent that? Also how often per week do you do this?

At that distance (3-5 miles) its fine to run with a high heart rate almost every day, how long does it take 30-45 minutes? Thats really not all that chronic, I think the issues come after about a...

I've seen a few people asking here about bruteforce sandbags, if anyone has one and how good they are.

I've just posted a review of my strongman bag on my blog, so I thought I'd share it here. In...

I've got a strongman myself, and I'm really glad I got it, great for squats and ok for deads if you add extra weight (on top of the 50kg), I just drop the weight down to 30kg for other movements.

My next two weeks are messed up becuase I did a medical study (needed the money) and wasn't allowed to exercise for a week and a half so I had to do what I could before and after the study.

I'm really behind on this so I'll just carry on from where I left off, its all in my workout log (paper copy).

Dead hang, but don't lock your elbows out, thats just unnecessary strain. Also keep your shoulders down and don't bounce at the bottom.

I forgot to say that I'm trying out weighted pull ups as a way to increase my pull up numbers. Will work on weighted pull ups for 1-2 months, see how many reps and what kind of weight I can build up...

That sucks, I always enjoyed his posts even when he was being less than help full.

Now who will tell people they have to squat?

Where is Dado, his account is inactive, anyone know why?

Depends on your goals. Martin is all about being strong and lean. Crossfit is all about being an all rounder.

What is then?

Damn this thread was old, I only looked at the date of the last two comments.

There is plenty of research showing that adding a reasonable level of mucsle mass increases many different measures of health. Though I also think health lays more on the diet that exercise. But I...

Just though I would bump this since I'm having the same issue.

Started working in undergraduate labs at Uni, basicly standing at the back of a lab and stepping forward to answer questions as they...

Interesting idea, I might try it.

One thing that I found trying to train for a half marathon in VFF's is even though I walk and hike a lot in them, I still really had to build up the distance in...

If it was a vote I'd say CC. Much more rounded program.
