while that is a high number( yet to be done in front of witnesses I assume) I'm not interested in being good at maximizing movement efficiency while maintaining as low a force output as possible. Just not my thing but if you can do 80+ jerks for real that is impressive.

trace, Training and coaching people is pretty much the only job I've ever had. Started as a gymnastics coach,moved into private training, bought and ran a World Gym, then back to private training once the mega clubs put us out of business in 1998.It has its downside but I only work 30 or so hours a ...

WOF, Although I dont remember your real name I remember your post and I'm glad I could help. I've been injured since the beginning so as much of my research has been into training around and through injuries as healing them. Injuries happen whether you push your limits or not and everyone is getting...

As far as getting info that will help my training or my cleints I will always steal from the best. I dove into Cheks stuff as it was the best info on back assesment and rehab I had seen at the time. ANd I defended him on Supertraining and had my ass handed to me by Dr Siff. When Chek wouldnt defend ...

Lets see I can still snatch the 72# kb at 160 pounds as well as press it for reps.I expect to do both with the 88# soon as well. Just as exercise. wh...

Doughboy, First, I didnt see any kb training in your log. Plus when you compete for real and take things to the max things break. oh well.15 years of competitive powerlifting broke me and I finally gave it up. Fuck me for not wanting to quit.Kbs let me training again hard and I realized I'd rather s...

exactly. I saw your training log. are you fucking kidding me? I squatted and deadlifted triple bodyweight, and benched 435 at 181 in competition, drug free and you're saying I'm an example of how NOT to train? give me a fucking break. 225 squat? 175 pound military press? whats that?

cayenne, I beleive that if glassmans methods were the greatest it would matter not a whit if he could do them himself. The fact that he has the nerve to hack cotter,jack and others for being "weak performers:" while he cant carry their jocks is what amazes me.Its one thing to hype your own...

RD, Bullshit. RKC is not about size. BBB is not the mainstay of kb training or the DD message.Look, because I love kb training and thinks its the best thing since sliced bread for me and my clients doesnt mean I think its the way everyone should train for all purposes and I have stated that many tim...

" what do you think is the correlation,if any, between athletic performance ability and appearance?" I would say it depends on the sport.with low force , endurance sports it is certainly possible to have low muscle mass and tone and still be productive( swimming, marathons) but for high po...

after watching the video of couch teaching the squat cleans it looks like he has never worked out a day in his life. Or at least any time recently. I understand you dont need to actually do the shit you are claiming is the best to be able to coach it but C'MON! If you are going to take such a hard l...
