Hahahah this makes me miss all of those Victorian Guy stories.

I have been the total opposite. :( I have had absolutely no motivation to train. I'm graduating college in a week and finishing off this last semester strong is all I can think about. I have no balance whatsoever. :( I have not touched a weight in almost a month.

So with the logic that a muscle really only "knows" tension, it follows that you could in fact change exercises every single workout and be fine so long as the amount of resistance is increased, right?

Hope it's not ringworm bro, that'll keep you out of a couple of matches (assuming the ref sees it of course :) ) I had ringworm on my forehead back in my senior year of wrestling and the team needed me to be on the mat for one of our meets, so my coach just pushed my head gear down to cover it...

Yeah you're right backlash I guess my response insinuates that chins aren't a compound movement. I suppose I'm just advocating he stick with the "more compound" of the possible compound back movements. :)

I performed the stretches right after the exercise was completed. In terms of the bicep stretch, I would place a barbell at about shoulder height (I used the Smith machine for this out of convenience) grip the barbell about shoulder width apart with my palms facing down and then proceed to walk...

I agree with everyone! Diet is where it's at. I lost about 30lbs in a little over 2 months with diet alone.

I would probably stick with the deadlifts as your main 5x5 movement. Hit up chins or pulldowns as your accessory 2x8 and you should be good to go. I just think that it is important to keep your 5x5 movement a compound one.

bump for Debaser. If I remember correctly I believe the DC bi stretch is similiar to the shoulder one, but with the palms facing downwards. It has been a long time since I did DC, but this is what comes to mind. You may want to hold out on this, until Debaser comes in.

I loved HST. Due to my erratic schedule I am not currently doing HST but I recommend it to anyone.

Funny you mention that beast, because that is truly my only gripe with "set routines." Going in one day and knowing (according to the program) I have to hit xlbs for x reps that day but then missing those numbers by a whole lot due to who knows what. It truly is upsetting and does seem to...

More "boyshorts" (or whatever they are called!) shots if I can make such a humble request. ;)

5x5 squats is rough when the weight gets really heavy. The point is for you to get ALL 5x5 and hopefully increase the weight the next week. This being said, I would take a long enough rest period to allow me to grind out all 5x5. To me (well atleast for the 5x5) it just doesnt make sense to get...

Hey PH isnt 10x10 part of GVT training?

Thats awesome Bfold. Few can argue that you are one of the most dedicated and serious trainers on the board, and I think it is very admirable that you take the time to focus on so many other aspects of your life as well. In particular your thread about graduating a while back and now this one. A...
