My ignorance is on full display here, I mean, I didn't even know leopards did swings, let alone have a species-preferred rep count.
Tom is a Pavel fan, just like everyone here. I think he's spent time w. Pavel, just like many here.The leopard reference seems like a dig at Q&D, which uses the leopard as a metaphor. Otherwise, why bring it up at all, since it makes no sense just in the context of the article?
I have no opinion on the actual program, but that line seems like unnecessary snark that would just be confusing to most readers who wouldn't get the reference.
Try with bent knees or even kneeling. Also consider doing fewer reps ( 2-3 reps) based on feel for a few sets. Start very easy, doing less than you’re able to do, and stay consistent.I am really really really weak in my back i have figured.
Suspended rows with feet on floor is to hard to do 5x5 :-(
Thanks.Try with bent knees or even kneeling. Also consider doing fewer reps ( 2-3 reps) based on feel for a few sets. Start very easy, doing less than you’re able to do, and stay consistent.
Horizontal rows don't get enough respect, imo. When doing them with feet raised becomes easy, you can do your entire journey over again with one arm. And when that becomes easy you can start working tucked front levers... you know, rows with your legs held in the air. and not supported by anything!Thanks.
I will try the next couple of weeks to just do it like yesterday and see if it changes anything.
It was the first time i tried the exercise. So maybe it get better
I love chins/pull-ups. But because of ten years without training i cant do ten. That Tom recommend you should be able to when using the exercise in AOW.Horizontal rows don't get enough respect, imo.

I honestly find rows more beneficial to me than pull-ups. I don't get why everyone loves pull-ups so much.
Agreed. I sometimes do horizontal rows on a TRX or from a pull-up bar w. grip implements attached to the pull-up bar w. nylon runners. There are a lot of variations that within reach for more people (than traditional pull-ups and variants).Horizontal rows don't get enough respect, imo.

I really like the program so far, But damn im struggeling with my rows.
I like thatIt doesn´t matter if you have 500 horsepower in your car if you go around with a flat tyre. You are working your "tyre" (rows). Give it time and you´ll see great things!
Little tester today with 7.5kg in a backpack to the shops n back with a HR monitor.I bought AOW.
Haven't run it as I have planned out my programmes for the next few years.
However I added it to my list & thought it sounded solid.
I think it would make a nice change from all my KB stuff at some point.
One thing I may implement sooner is the loaded hiking.
