Testosterone Nation

Christian Thibaudeau: @ Rawminded... It has been my observation, that ring work mostly hits the brachialis. And it would seem to be in accordance with what you experienced since the brachialis will give you a better peak but wont do anything for width

Christian Thibaudeau: (cont) BUT if your goal is to maximize power production and do not care about competitive performance, going to the full extension is more effective. Remember there is a BIG difference between training a movement to maximize lifting numbers on that movement, and using a movement to maximize the physical gains you get from it.

Christian Thibaudeau: @ Chigichev... there is a BIG difference in doing the full squat lifts to maximize competition results and doing the power variations to build power/strength. By not fully extension at the ankle joint you sacrifice some pulling power BUT you gain by being able to go under the bar much faster. So yes you will produce less bar height but you will also have less bar drop since you are faster under it. It is widely believed that the best olympic lifters are those who can get under the bar th fastest

Christian Thibaudeau: @ BigIron... with isolation exercises/partials you want constant tension... imagine flexing the muscle while moving the weight. If you are using a compound movement to achieve a pump I suggest what I call a gradual tension build-up...externally the movement is rythmic, but internally you are trying to increase the intensity of the muscle contraction as you progress through the range of motion... it's basically the opposite of explosive lifting: where you produce a ton of force at the start

Chris Shugart: @bayoubengal: Yep, that's correct.

Christian Thibaudeau: @ Lonnie... first of all a true L-sit is mostly a back movement (if done right)... and if done for relatively long durations, the psoas not the abs, will do most of the work.

John Paul Catanzaro: @jason64... Hold tight, I just sent T-Nation a follow-up article on this subject with even more superset routines. In the meantime, consider "The New Old-School Circuit Training" system as a nice change of pace.

Chris Shugart: I would feel very safe with cam534 as my pilot.

Chris Shugart: @westnole: Saw something similar to that the other day: a free "diabetic" cookbook with order of diabetic testing supplies. The recipes in that book with give most people diabetes!

Chris Shugart: @strange: Much more simple that using the older formulas. That's a big plus.

Chris Shugart: @strange: Just follow the labels on the new formulas and add FINiBARs pre-lifting if you'd like.

Chris Shugart: @Eric: Thanks! Christian did a great job with this series. Two more parts to go, which will run Thursday and Friday.

Chris Shugart: @Jud68: That's the report we've been hearing from a lot of Indigo-3G users who've done a full 6-12 cycle at full dosage. Great to hear!

Tim Henriques: @tyciol cont - my advice would be to try the exercise and if you think it sucks move on, you have good ideas on how to modify the stuff it sounds like. Even if the exercise ends up sucking - for you - the person who suggested the exercise can be still very knowledgeable - don't throw the baby out with the bathwater so to speak

Tim Henriques: @tyciol - Both parts of the muscle experience the load but depending on the exercise it can be more significant in 1 area or the other. Muscles respond very specifically, not generally, which is why there are a ton of exercises and some are better than others. I agree the reverse squat would be tough to load but keep in mind those muscles aren't nearlly as strong as their antagonists, one would not expect to reverse squat 500 lbs. You could anchor your feet and put the straps around your arms

Chris Shugart: @wallstrt: Glad you like it!

Chris Shugart: I was an editor for Ian King back in the early days of TNation, and every set in his programs came with a three or four number tempo description. I guess by over-analyzing and over-thinking movement speeds, people at least started paying attention to these things and realizing that they mattered. No need to actually count though, as CT wrote.

MartyMonster: Hi CT, I'm glad to read this article as I'd always wondered about those tempo numbers. I just ended up usimg them as a very rough guideline and not worrying too much. BTW I have to thank you for the overhead power holds and band work. My shoulders are feeling very good lately. At this rate I may be benching pain free again in a month or so.

wallstrt: @cubuff - Manhattan. I'm not even sure what Moab is.....lol

BiP: I've found that Alpha Male, vit D and Brain candy seem to be keeping my head above the water, even though I can tell that normally I'd be feeling extremely shit right now.

BiP: @BigIron: One of my complexes consists of skin the cat for 5 reps, lat band or pump work (experimenting a bit there, still haven't decided what works better), ball chest throw, RGBP and biceps AR.

BigIron77: It's all ball bearings, these days

BigIron77: @BiP - I'm not really down, I just don't feel good. Usually I feel really good, so when I am not feeling good, I can really tell a difference

BiP: It's all connected through countless feedback loops. Hormones, man, hormones ;)

corstijeir: micro oscillation primer: http://www.t-nation.com/...ing-topics/1730

BiP: Mood can have a tremendous effect on hunger

BigIron77: @BiP - I found that myself, combining ring pullups with Bulgarian split squats. Very metabolically challenging

BiP: @BigIron: Could be unrelated. In my case I was "just" depressed :P

BigIron77: @BiP - I did get bit by something twice on Monday, I'm assuming a spider, based on the bite characteristics. I hope that doesn't have anything to do with it.
