    Beginners program

    I think its more generally the amount of stress you put your body under. Having 100+ on your back for 3minutes, your body is forced to adapt Posted via Mobile Device

    Conditioning for MMA

    When i was doing kb's for boxing i was doing 3 min rounds with 30 seconds rest, using 1arm cp's, swings, thrusters, cannon balls. Each for 10 reps aiming to improve rep count each session. Although imo you can't substitute time in the ring, 3 Min rounds with your oppoaition changing every 1-2...

    Fat in bed time meal

    For as long as i remember, i have had cottage cheese and fish oil tabs about within the half hour before bed. Sometimes i'll have some tuna, broccoli, milk etc with it aswell. Always a fat/protein meal for me, try to limit carbs late at night.

    Subsititue to protein shake after workout?

    Milk for ease of use, jus buy the 1 litre bottle's, 35g protein and around 50g carbs, too easy. I usually have 1L milk walking out of gym, than 45 minutes or so later steak and vegies.

    Ramping-up

    Hey guys, Previously in my training iv'e always only done one 'warm-up' set and then moved into work sets. I've always felt that due to low weights and higher rep set's (6-12 reps) iv'e never needed to ramp-up the weight. Iv'e recently been doing 5x5 on the major lifts and stalled quite...

    dominating everyday life

    Cant single out any activities, but training has fixed my back, making life in general easier. No more waking up with pain, putting it out carrying things or having it feel weak in general. Posted via Mobile Device

    training in rabens

    Iv'e recently just bought a pair for my dead's. Previously was going barefoot but it's a **** around in the gym, so the rabens do the trick. I wouldn't use them for squats though, i like a like heel elevation/support.

    slow upper body progression

    You could try focusing on the presses, by performing them first each day (before squats). It is possible that you are not recovering fully between exercises, so putting the upper body movements before squats/deads (the most taxing exercises) will ensure more energy can be put towards them.

    Portable Interval Timer - great for DC training, HIIT, etc.

    With the 2 separate time intervals, does this mean it can be set to sound every 3 minutes with 1 minute rest in between round's, like say a boxing timer? or say for tabatha workouts (10 seconds then at 40 etc)? Been looking at getting one for boxing and HIIT work.

    The importance of Carb intake

    Always interested in how diet variables affect training and results. Iv'e heard many say 'lift for strength, eat for size' and the likes. In my own experience, iv'e found that my own diet greatly affects my strength gains. When eating sub-maintenance cal's I've rarely been able to add strength...
