I don't know that insulin is necessarily the issue. But I absolutely agree that modern life makes calorie control insanely difficult for some people. And it is clear that some bodies have an easier time with this than others. Counting calories is one way. But if you do not have standardized cooking ...

Are there any well researched benefits to a ketogenic, actual blood markers that have moved in a positive direction, disease reversal, etc? I know tons of people are having good results with weight loss with the diet, but is that simply due to it being a diets that eliminates most people's trigger ...

Smet -

Is there rest between exercises?
Between circuits?

"You know...I did this last year. I essentially did a meat only diet during most of the week most weeks. This was solely for personal not diet reasons. I was in a real low point and just buying some 80/20 ground beef from target and cooking it with cheese and some onion for taste was easy. I leaned...

What kind of martial arts? It makes sense. Repeated explosive power efforts..... Judo and Muay Thai, mostly. I can see both of those being really difficult on a serious low carb keto diet. Any significant cardio-esque effort is hard. At least for me. Yesterday I was at the gym and I hadn't had a ca...

When it comes to meat only/keto low carb diets and exercise. For me - Low level cardio (think 120-130 beats per minute) doable, but tough. I will get winded and tired on the elliptical. Jogging for any distance is hard. Running for distance is impossible. Maybe it takes longer adaptation times, I d...

I haven't bought any training material in a long time, besides Furman's AoW, but I might pick this up. I wouldn't. This book is complete bullshit. 1st - I've got not problem with the idea that "sprint" training of some form is a good idea. I think it's a great idea actually. 2d - I've got no proble...

Isn't it the little Fagin himself, Freido?

OLD Friedo is considered a sage and a wiseman over at strongfirst, as well as their 'enforcer of standards'

He gets a strong and sweet shout out in "The Quick and Dead. Be a leopard or be a bitch."

Okay - I'm not poor (at least not very poor) and have been known to throw down far more than 10 bones on a cocktail. So I figured fuck it, but the book. Just starting to read.....and a concept - Pavel is writing that as we grow older we first lose speed, then strength, then endurance. You will never...

Is it a must buy? A good buy? A "you're not poor and it's worth ten bones" buy? A "what the fuck are spending 10 dollars and this shit for???? Go get a lap dance."

If you don't mind -
What is the central argument for why this is something that is for advanced trainees as opposed to a beginner protocol?
What is the basic gist? What's your takeaway? The good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful?

Thanks, I'm starting to get it. I found I had to open my hand more when I start the drop, and then I can catch the handle on the fingers instead of the palm. I no way did VF teach to catch the handle on the palm. You caught/catch the corner of the handle with an "ok" type catch. The whole descent w...

I think the difference between VF and Rudnev is the former is a physically gifted specimen, while the latter - very high level athlete - had to figure out lots of detail and is also smaller. That's why I think he is more specific in his instruction, while for VF many things are a given. I spent two...

Mon 7/29 Jog/run - home to 1st bridge, normal rest breaks, short accelerations during long stretch Great jog/run. Probably my best yet of the "season." Legs felt strong. I was able to move with more power. My natural slow pace is getting quicker. I'm not what I would call running yet. Still jogging....

The key is titrating My new 2019 goal is to fucking DROP titrating into a conversation. In fact, I'm giving myself bonus points if I can drop "fucking titrating" into the convo. Seriously - any suggestions? Like yesterday I was at a bar and the fucking bartender was pouring the lady friend's vodka ...

Sun 7/28 20 minutes - just did stuff with the 16 on the minute. Snatches, one arm swings, h2h swings, etc. Did not really keep track. Tried to keep it mostly to about 30 seconds work, 30 seconds rest. 24kg swings - 10 on the minute - 4:00 Goblet squats - rotated between 24kg and 16kg. Low reps (1 to...

Sat July 27 KB 1 arm clean and press 24kg x (2,3,5 per arm) x 2; (1,2,3) x1 each ladder followed by set of goblet squats 2 hand swing 24 kg 10 on the minute x 4:00 -- Just a quick workout. Feeling a bit bored with the endurance work so I switched it up a bit today. I need to rebuild some strength an...

Were the Ocelot and Pampas programs in Starting Strength?

Thu 7/25
Lot's of yard work
2 hand swings, 24 KB, 10 on the minute - 10:00

Fri 7/26
Jog/walk - home to bridge, normal breaks, added accelerations during long stretch

Insular and boring.

That all being said, Jaime Lewis has a new book out and if I get fifty extra bones I'll buy that shit because I appreciate what he is doing. Care to elaborate further? Jamie Lewis (Chaos and Pain or what is now called Heretical Strength) has a new book. Anti Programming or something. While I don't ...

They didn't even invent this shit. Phil Campbell did Ready Set Go long before any of these fools had any traction. His idea was basing your training on the exercises and protocols that worked best for HGH release. It was all power and short sprint shit. Kicks. Power cleans. As far as I can tell he i...
