    Alternatives to military press

    Steep incline press Palms facing (and elbows tucked) DB bench I'm in the same boat, MP doesn't feel great but I can still do it sub-maximally. Maybe try Klokov presses as well depending on how your shoulder mobility has been compromised. How do you find doing pull ups?

    First CrossFit Study: It Works Wonders, If You Can Survive

    High rep Olympic lifts are a necessary evil if you are a kipfittian and a waste of time if you are not. High Road, if you disagree I can roll off enough big names to support my argument you make you run home to your mum crying /thread

    Original Westside template

    1) PTC hasn't posted here in 2-3 years lol 2) he doesn't say you can't do it. more that his experiences from the time of opening Westside is that their performance has gone backwards if they maxed out on the same exercise for more than 3 weeks. this has now changed (for max effort) to a weekly...

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    Few things of note today 1) a guy using a 25kg squat bar to do rack pull partials (as in, the bar was set at his knees, he lifted it about 2 inches then came back down again - for reps) 2) a 67.5kg girl deadlift 143kg for 18 reps non-stop 3) met a female lifter who deadlifts 230 + @ 80kg raw
