  3. Other/Mixed A simple program I thought some of you might enjoy

    Hello everyone! I wanted to share a simple program I created to help me get back in shape and fight the winter blues. It's fairly minimal and can be done quickly, but it works through 5 major movement patterns and can be pretty challenging! For this workout you'll need a mace and one or two...

    Barbell Narrow squat stance

    I've been barbell back squatting for 20 years. I always squatted with a narrow stance and worked up to 150kg for one rep at a body weight of 100kg. Nothing majorly impressive, but then at 6ft 4 inches and naturally skinny, I don't feel like I'm built for heavy weights anyway. Plus I always...

    Barbell Squat Standups

    Training again today and thought that I'd pass this along.... I've noticed when squatting and progressing towards heavier weights (95%+), it's a real shocker to the system to stand up in the rack with near max loads. In an effort to "re-arrange the mindset" I worked on just standing up with...
  8. Barbell Form check - deadlift and back squat

    Hey guys, I would like to ask you to check my form on deadlift and back squat. J just moved to low-bar squat. It's much more comfortable then high-bar in terms on hips movement and body position. As you see I struggle to get into position at both exercises. While getting everything prepered...
  9. Barbell I need help with choosing a barbell...

    Hi, I'm new to this site and I was wondering if anyone knows about what barbell to purchase. I feel as if I should pick Rogue because that's all I know. I'm 6'4, 280 and will be leaning out to 220 within the next few months but I am continuing my strength training. I'm powerlifting now with the...

    Barbell Shoulder stress while squatting

    The question is in the context of back squat. I am able to perform it high bar. However the shoulder is really strained before, during and especially after the a rep or two. Because of this I have not even attempted the low bar version. I am assuming this is shoulder mobility ? Any suggestion on...
  11. Barbell Deadlift program

    Hi everybody, I would like to ask you for specific deadlift strength training. I am 23 male, 173 cm, about 77 kg. I participated in martial arts for 4-5 years, then turned to bodywheight training. My core training is gymnastics, but I incorporate barbell and kettlebells as well. In recent years...
  12. Kettlebell Strength Standards

    Beyond things like "Simple", "Solid", "Sinister", "Beast Tamer", "Iron Maiden", and the SFG I & II technique standards, are there any more formalized strength standards for kettlebell exercises? What comes to mind for me is something like these: Weightlifting Performance Standards for the...
  13. Other/Mixed Osgood-Schlatter, WTH Effect, Kettlebells, Weightlifting

    Hello Comrades, I need your advice. I was recently diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter. The doctor told me I should avoid stuff like squats and do mostly upper body work. This is devastating because I love weightlifting and it means I can't do Snatches and Clean and Jerks, let alone squats. I...

    Barbell Squat and Leg Press

    I started squatting in the middle of December with 95lb and got to 135lb by mid-January. It seems like the weight progression was a bit too fast, so I strained my adductors, and had to take time off squatting. I resumed squatting last week and worked up to 115lb with no pain. The weight doesn't...

    Barbell Adductor strain from squatting?

    I've been having issues with muscles in my groin area, inner thighs (both sides), and front of the hip (mostly right side). It started after some heavy squatting about 3 weeks ago, and it does not seem to go away even though there is an occasional relief here and there. It manifests the most...
  19. Bodyweight Don't have access to weights... Can Pistol squats replace weighted squats??

    As a South Korean, I have to join the army for 2 years soon, and surprisingly, there won't be enough weights in most of the troops in Korea (American soldiers will never expect this situation but weight training is not really prevalent in Korea unlike in America. Many people do lift weights for...

    Kettlebell Total Tension Variation (EMOM)
