I did my first (FULL) conditioning/grip workout this morning in ages. We have a small storage room in the parking garage of our condo, but I have...

That's right Jerry, just like Dr Ken always preached, the basics always work if we do. I envy you having known him, I learned a lot from his articles...

Thanks, I trying to get him to understand he doesn't have to spend hours in the gym. And when he has more responsibilities just keep doing what you...

Wow Jerry, sounds like your grandsons doing great...I think he has a good role model and mentor. I can remember doing 20 rep breathing squats with...

Nice work as usual. I sure know how the weights feel heavier as the years roll on,no matter what anyone says. I've been training my grandson who...

I decided to test my BP and SQ today, so I can setup my first cycle of 531. In retrospect, I could have used another day of rest, but it's done....

Thanks Mark, I hear you about trying to maintain and hold onto what we did just a few years ago. Following my dad's long down slide and passing, I...

Hey Mark, I see you've been doing 531 for awhile now, just wondering how effective you're finding it. I've been studying the powerlifting version...

I'm hoping to compete again early next year, so to that end, decided to test a couple lifts today so I can work-up a meet cycle. I expect the first...

Nice to see you back. Happy Thanksgiving.

Sometimes you have to do what your mind and body tell you. Have a Hsppy Thanksgiving!

I had a busy day yesterday, so wasn't able to get to my workout till last evening. I prefer getting my workouts done first thing in the morning. It's...

Thanks Jerry, I do miss the complexes, but especially the grip work...hard as it was, I enjoyed it and got some unique development in my forearms...

Sounds like a good plan. I read something like this in the book I have Gray Hair and Black Iron. I know know Ripp is against doing anything but...

I'm taking a new approach for the time being, a variation on heavy/light. I also plan to alternate these workouts with my old conditioning/grip...

Good idea, you know your body better than anyone.

Today's workout was slightly different than usual... just squat, lats and biceps, no BP'S. I used one of those ergonomic close-grip handles for...

Nice work. I understand not wanting to sqt when your head feels like that.

I think I'm adjusting to the lighter bodyweight now, had a better workout today and feel better overall. Fri, Nov 10 Bwt - 188.5 DB swing: 50x14...

Nice DL Shugg. As for the trap bar, I agree. When I did train at Dr. Ken's he had most of the lifters that were training for a meet use the trap bar,...

I hope the pain subsides quickly. The WO looks fine.
