I would take a serious look at Convict Conditioning. It's whole philosophy is about slowly and steadily improving at a rate that is sustainable well into old age, not just into middle age, while...
Definitely, diamond push ups force the arm muscles to do a lot more pushing work than regular push ups due to the more acute elbow angle in the bottom position. Anatomically they are safer for the...
I would totally agree with this. I've been working in Italy for the last 2 months and the diet here is totally carb based- bread, pizza, pasta with every meal. Now the average person is probably not...
I'd be a bit careful with them. if you are not feeling a good Lat activation you have probably lost shoulder pack, that's also why your numbers are significantly lower. Wide grip will also make it...
I'm not sure what the calorie counters call moderate activity but if you followed PBF guidelines for walking and sprinting and used CC as LHT you should be OK. As far as CC goes Vol1 is a strength...
Have you checked out the CC Super FAQ? It can answer several if your questions. Just Google it, it's a free article by Paul Wade with lots of good info.
Come back with any questions you still have...
Good luck Rob, another bonus from starting at the bottom is mentally it is much easier. When I was learning and starting from the top I was always having different key thoughts- sit back, keep shin...
Can you hold the bottom position of a pistol comfortably?
A lot of people start trying to learn pistols without being able to sit on the pocket properly. Sit on the ground with both legs...
Have you tried any yoga training. Although I don't consider it as a replacement for resistance training it is an excellent way to redress any imbalances you may have. There are better ways to get...
If you can do a full bodyweight squat on two legs then why do you think you lack flexibility to complete a pistol. If anything a pistol requires slightly less flexibility as the front leg provides...
Things like doubling up seem great at the beginning of this program but the amount of work you put through the shoulders and elbows can really add up after a couple of months, you already have...
Bear in mind that the higher steps will give you a much better return per rep I.e. with a wall push up you are probably resisting less than 10% of you BW, with your close push up its closer to 40-50%...
Ross Enamaits stuff is good but really is a metcon program for fighters, you won't build much mass with it.
In CC the emphasis is on both strength and size, in prison I would imagine that size...
I'm positive you are right but remember 3 things
1. All Groks food had to be found, kill and carried home, which takes a lot of energy so if he found a tree full of apples he could only take what he...

Hi Snookman,
I'm also 6'1", my regular weight is around 80kg (+/- 175lbs). I have no idea of my BF, I have abs but I'm certainly not shredded. Even when trained super hard for rugby and ate like a...
Check out the book "The Smarter Science of Slim", it's author Jonathan Bailor has done several guest posts here for Mark.
In it JB lays out a theory (backed by a lot of independent scientific...
It sounds like you are on the right path, by all means maintain the hips at a level so your crown to heels align. Just keep working on tilting the pelvis, don't try to suck the belly in, rather try...
The plank is a Core exercise and the abdominals are certainly a major part of the Core so their position does matter. Just keeping back, hips, legs etc in a straight line is not enough as it is...
For a strong plank you will have to develop the Hollow Body Position. You can see tutorials on YouTube.
Don't give up, move to a harder variation.
A parallel would be chronic cardio vs sprints, you achieve more during the short high intensity sprint session than in a long cardio session. Why do a...
Why even bother with a challenge like this. Work up to a 3 minute plank, anything over 3 minutes you are on a diminishing return. When you have achieved that move on to a harder exercise like an...
Check out the book "Building the Gymnastic Body" an excellent source for non gymnast wanting to improve basic gymnastic skills. The broad recommendation is to perform statics before dynamics. i.e....
I could certainly recommend Scott Sonnon's "Primal Stress". It will explain to you why you are getting repeatedly injured and give you remedies to prevent it happening in the future. Mobility,...
