Agreed. I was doing 3x5 rack pulls before squats on one of my days. It took me 2 sessions of this to realize how unstable my low back was while in the bottom of a squat because of the fatigue created...

I can feel the suspense through your words IPB.

I also think you could have done one more based on bar speed. I remember doing 5rm on the TM and as long as I could get 3 I knew 5 would happen. It was grind out 3, breathe and give 4 all I had,...

Just to add a bit more to this; The book says 3 backoff sets, with the deadlift backoff sets being as stiff leg deadlifts. IT also says the backoff sets would usually be about 50 lbs lighter than the...

Jim Steel mentioned in his blog that Marty told him Purposeful Primitive 2 is in the works. Has Marty said anything about this to you Mark?

The way that Ed and Marty talk about Kirk in their interviews really gives an interesting perspective on who Kirk is. There is more to who he is than "Mr. 1000x2" and his personality really comes...

It may be along the same lines as lower back control that Rip made a video about. Everyone can flex their lower back, but not everyone has the awareness to know if they are ACTUALLY doing it or not....

That probably means you don't squat like that. You might be pushing your hips back but favoring one side or another. Hip drive is a specific glute function, you need to use better hip drive.

Why...

This. The OP is having hip drive issues so if he makes his body do they same motion as in the video, hip drive will happen. Hip drive includes "correctly firing glutes."

Watch this video.

Notice how she moves her hips back at the bottom to get in a strong position to ascend. Try making your form on the way up look like hers.

I just watched Kirks interview again and it occurred to me that, while you two didn't want to talk training, I have not been able to find any interviews with him that actually go into depth about how...

Right before my squat set as I was trying to think about something to get pissed off at, some motherfucker put the Tarzan soundtrack by Phil Colllins in. I WANTED to be so mad but to that music I...

I remember reading an article about a father and son who were working on communication via gravity waves, until the father died and the son, well, I guess he stopped or something. I don't really...

If I lost 2kg a week for 5 weeks in a row I would be a physical wreck, fantasizing about food all day and would no longer desire to be a competitive person. But that's just me.

I told my random spotter yesterday "I don't want to do any type of forced reps and don't want you to help with any reps, but im going to failure so when I fail, yank the bar up fast because I won't...

There's a lot of info to take in here. Thanks everyone.

I'm looking for some information on Cholesterol and Saturated Fats as they relate to being healthy or causing health problems. I type either of those topics into google and get 9000000 results (in...

Exactly right.

Now just to be clear, I don't believe doing 5 different things in a day, then repeating for 5 days counts as 25 jobs, but this is where my understanding of the details stops. Maybe...

This has to do with the origional topic.

Currently I am working on job funded 2/3 by federal grants. The government has tables and lists of what each activity is called (concrete pourer, rebar...
