So I have to really push the volume in them.<BR/><BR/>I've read Bud's article on his ideas about squats and pulls. For me, right now, there are two reasons I'm not doing that:<BR/>1) I'm relearning how to squat and don't feel confident enough that I can handle the stretch-reflex in the hole yet, and<BR/>2) Medvedyev, if I remember correctly, a broader variety of lifts for different category of lifters--the more advanced, the less classical lifting is performed until the comepetitive season.<BR/><BR/>I will get there, I just need to let my body adapt. Probably about another 12-18 more weeks ought to do it--it's only been 2 years...<BR/><BR/>I'm glad the Z is working for you or seems to be--changing two variables at the same time doesn't do much for the scientific method, does it?Geoff Neuperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429352189298183355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24102082.post-1165579348420239132006-12-08T07:02:00.000-05:002006-12-08T07:02:00.000-05:00Geoff,those stomach bugs are a bear. kefir is good...Geoff,<BR/>those stomach bugs are a bear. kefir is good stuff...you can pour it on your cereal too!<BR/>96kg? you lift well for a tiny man!<BR/>seriously though, i'm impressed with the 110 for triples x 10 sets in the FS...i don't think hi rep sets (above 5) are appropriate for FS anyway. Have you read Bud Charniga's article on the value of squats for WL? pretty compelling. my knees won't take more than two days a week of squatting if i am full snatching and full cleaning anyway, so Bud's ideas fit very well with my current condition.<BR/>i am z-ing r-phase everyday and sometimes 2x a day...will attribute to z that I have weaned myself off Advil for joint pains during the day...of course it might just be coincident twith the fact that I'm not training much these days either since I lost my gym job...I still pop a couple Vitamin "A"(advil)before I train though. If Z gets me off that pre-workout necessity that will be something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
