Is there no way the military can lighten the loads of the average grunt? Whats the point of carrying so much gear when it renders you slow and vulnerable to injuries? I guess the average insurgent...

This post should be sent to the jackasses who made the decision. IMO this may just be a desperation move. Israel is pushing for a war with Iran or at least a military strike. The Israeli lobby has...

Amen to that.

Afghanis are small??? You must have seen the Hazara only. Alot of the Pushtoon fuckers are big boned, strong neanderthals who love to fight.
My God, political correctness gone mad. Yes, there may...

Rip,

Do you have any anecdotes/info on Mike Bridges? Information is notoriously hard to find on Bridges. I know in the Coan video you mentioned that Bridges uses to deadlift conventional until...

I dont know about Finland but Germany is pretty multi-cultural-at least in some places. Also multi-culuralism is the fault of the Governments who are ELECTED by their populations. Democracy is...

Rip, what kind of carb intake are we looking at? I agree carbs are necessary but too much=fat and becoming insulin resistant.

LOL at how this thread has veered off course right at the begining. I am in Syd, Australia. There are alot of things wrong here but the medical system isnt too bad. 3 years ago I got testicular...

Interesting thread. Rip, what do you think of weighted vest training? eg Walking with a 30-40 pound weight vest for say 20-30 mins at a brisk pace? Surely that would be pretty specific and not...

LOL-I am surprised that people are surprised. I live in Syd, Australia. It is not the "lucky" country. It is the "rip off" country! The only lucky people are the bums who get free money, accomodation...

Awesome video, thanks Rip

Yes, he got upto 340 but had to diet back down for health reasons. Same with George Hechter if I recall correctly. Strength is important but not everything-health is important too. Balancing the 2...

Amen to that. SICK of this EAT the kitchen sink approach! Surely there has to be a saner approach to gaining muscle-especially for older guys. Say you put a skinny fat guy who is 40 years old on an...

Hi KSC,

Barry Merriman has a self regulating cycle where you start of with 5X5 and add 20 pounds every week (or 10 pounds if you're not that advanced)on squat and dl. Bench-10 pounds every week(5...

KSC, many thanks for the advice.

My goals are 350 bench, 550 squat, 600 dl. Those are long term. In the more short term 300,400 and 500. Want to compete as a Masters lifter and excel.

Thanks...

KSC, I've noticed that for old guys you dont recommend much volume. I am currently doing SS-hit a peak of 310lbs for 3 sets of 5 at age 43 5'7 and 175 lbs. Currently going through a reset. I am going...

It is funny how everyone goes on about weight increase being necessary for strength increase. Dan Austin, Lamar Gant, Jay Roscigione, Ricky Crain and todays lifters Podzeev, Richard Hawthorne to name...

Awesome Article. Great explanation to all those cardio airheads.

Happened to Ed Coan-its there on youtube somewhere. Hits a 700 pull in training then passes out. He falls over the bar. Happened to me after a power clean. Managed to pc weight put it back on rack...
