MIM: HYAA!
Dymez:
**First of all, your training style is completely unheard of.
+++Well, I think you would be surprised. Most Spec ops, paramilitary, Law enforcement, Mixed Martial Artists, and even firefighters use programs very similar to this. Of course, each is tailored to the specific needs of the field, but this type of training is used by a lot of tough guys all around the world. Cults like crossfit often do not have enough strength stuff, while power lifting doesnâ??t address cardio and GPP. And then of course body building has things like curls and leg extensionsâ??and who has time for things like that?
Within said fields you often have to run, sprint, fight, move heavy crap, recover, and then sprint, run, and fight your way back out. With my job being what it is, being able to do all of these things well is kind of a must. That is why I set up my training like that. You should train like you fight. If you don’t, you are asking to get your arse kicked, or worse.
***What are inserts and extracts exactly? Why do we need separate words for them, arent they just part of the workout?
Yes they are part of the workout, but I separate them the same way as if you were to write down “Warm-up” or “cool down” or “cardio”. But I change the words simply because words are important. It is the same reason why I call my food “fuel” instead of diet, and say “training” rather than “working out”. The words insert and extract imply that what you are doing is a serious as if you were doing a real world mission. They are to be looked at as a balls out – get in â?? get it done â?? get out scenario.
It changes everything in my mind. I am not preparing my body to do work. I look at my sessions as if The proverbial shit has hit the fan and it is time to get stuff done. When things go bad, you have to be ready at that exact moment, not 15 minutes after you get synovial fluid to your rotator cuff. And just try doing one of your workouts like that, it will be a real wake up call to where your weaknesses are.
Plus, anyone who has tried to go balls out on one of these extracts after giving their all for an entire workout will experience something that could never be classified as a “cool down”.
****The giant sets you perform, how do you design them in the specific order and weight they are in?
++++I kind of addressed how I make up my programs and couple of pages back, so you may want to go get the more in depth answer there, but just for a few points.
-do things you despise the most, more often than anything else, and get them done first.
-whatever you suck at, do more of it.
-I will always do a pulling motion in the antagonist plane of movement before doing a pushing. And my shoulders thank me for it.
-take less rest than you need to.
There is a lot more to it, but like I said it is already covered a few pages back. Check that out, and then if you still have questions let me know. I like questions!
*****When you design your daily routine, do you think of body parts or movements or some specific template? Where did you learn to train like this?
+++++Like most things in life, it is best to just keep them simple. I learned to do what I do through years of trying different stuff, and much like Bruce Lee, I just kept stripping away the unnecessary clutter. What is left was pretty much what you see here.
Again, I explain how I design my routines in a really long post a few pages back. Check that out and if you have follow up questions let me know. I am not trying to be rude, it is just that I do not want this thing to become redundant.
****How exactly do you have to much energy to do what you do? Your workouts seem like a fusion of aerobics and anaerobics, a sort of aerobic powerlifting frenzy.
That is exactly what they are! And it has nothing to do with energy brother. Energy is a very relative term. It is more about your will and mental toughness. If people from POW camps can be on the verge of starvation and walk something ridiculous like 10,000 miles to freedom (read the book The long Walk) than I have no doubt that I can run a few miles or throw around some heavy junk on a low carb diet. It is all about what is in your head.

I don’t train to look good, I basically train to hurt people
Strangely enough I have an entire rant that I will be posting later tonight on this exact subject, so check back and let me know what you think.
****You list what you eat, but are the portions very large? Saying you ate “steak” doesn’t mean much.
++++++Well, I do not have the time or energy to weight my food. So that I why I just write steak. If I knew how much it was I would post it for you. And I would say I eat large portions but that is all relative as well. I eat until I am full, no more no less.
*****I literally have a hundred more questions, hopefully you will be so kind as to answer those.
Throw them out there man, I love questions.
Blaze: Ok, stand up, tighten up your core and take a 45lb plate, hold it like a steering wheel on your right hip. Bring the plate up and around to the back of your head so you are in a “laid back hands behind you head” kind of position. (make sure the plate is more toward your back than the top of your head. Then continue the motion bringing the plate down to your left hip.
Rinse and repeat — then speed it up.
That is it man, but when you are sucking wind and your shoulders are shot they will work you pretty good.
Thanks for the kind words brother!
Ran 2 miles to my long hill last night

Ok so I am going to post the rant later tonight so check back in for it…In the airport now and am just trying to get something out there right now…
