Eric Cressey: @shawnaleebrown - nope, it's just a light PVC pipe.

Eric Cressey: @BobParr - could definitely help, especially if you know it reduces your symptoms.

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

cubuff2028: notice how CT is STILL RECOMMENDING TEMPO TRAINING? but, he markedly improved the instructions as to enhance the exercise as opposed to detract from it.

dayne_lathrop: Walking in the mornings fasted (except for sipping mag10 throughout to preserve muscle mass)

dayne_lathrop: Also, and maybe ct can chine in on this if he feels like it ;) , I was wondering about carbs and calories as far as HOW FAR is TOO FAR to raise them in a fat loss phase. I know you are supposed to and I understand why, but I was wondering if there was maybe a basic suggestive starting point as to how much around peri Workout and maybe limiting it to only breakfast and peri workout or something. Might be higher than I think since I will not only be doing super hero program, but 45-60 min of

MytchBucanan: Eric......im sure it is and I know he knows his stuff. I find its hard to pin him down for a consistent training philosophy. And some of his remarks are just way out there.

Eric Buratty: MytchBucanan - Well, Poliquin's workout nutrition recommendations - particularly the number of BCAAs (40g per workout + other post-training shakes/meals) - are part of the plan. So the training to failure part is consistent with recovery in that capacity-lol.

MytchBucanan: emenef.....yeah I did too. I thought Poliquin made kind of a backhanded remark about it, which I didnt like.

Eric Buratty: dayne_lathrop - Don't let that happen again.

emenef: chase performance not fatigue

emenef: @mytch: i liked that stuff by chad. heck it seemed to jive a lot more with the "perfect rep" application anyway.

emenef: @all: i agree with this tempo thing. every time i tried it i had to to toss it out. even when i got fairly good at it it was such a mental distraction i said screw it

MytchBucanan: Chad Waterbury recommended ending a set when the reps slowed down. Charles made a comment on how ridiculous that philosophy was, but at the same time he is recommending TEMPO TRAINING??

BiP: I was wondering "Who the hell is Erica? Can I get her number?" ;)

emenef: @Big: FLETCH . HAHAHA

dayne_lathrop: Sorry omit the Erica . My iPad was screwing up haha

MytchBucanan: I totally agree with this article. Tempo training is just a mental distraction for me. The first time I heard of it was from Charles Poliquin. Ive heard Poliquin say that you must train to failure. But failure means grinding and grinding means you will not meat your tempo parameters. It seemed like a bit of a contradiction to me.
