From what I gather, he went on the attack a little bit, which the mods took exception to.
I’m pretty much keeping my opinions to myself on it. I’d kinda hoped the new status quo would stick, but in have a feeling this banner ad is likely to cause some issues again.
I would stick with the OG version of putting on crazy amounts of muscle in a short time with short workouts
It actually sounds like a pretty fun program
It’s not, but the author does a great job of selling it, so I can see how that happened.
Deep water does sound more “fun”, but the book really made me feel shit about myself. I might actually give the beginner program a try this summer
The book did not do this. Don’t be a victim.
Deep Water is a great program for sure.
I figure the 10x10 would be great movement practice after such a long time not doing the movements.
I’ll be sure to do an intro program before diving in
It will honestly be poor movement practice, as you will be under such significant fatigue that you will be grooving bad reps. If your goal is movement practice, I would NOT do Deep Water.
noted. In that case, I’ll wait a bit then.
The plan thus far is Candito’s linear program then probably some 5/3/1 variant
Definitely not. That guy was so triggered by HIT that he was actively seeking out members to harass and threads to disrupt. It wasn’t even about Dr. Darden or his work specifically. He just wanted to complain that some new forum members were liked a style of training that he didn’t like.
He was eventually warned that his behavior had become legit trolling and he needed to stop, but he choose to continue. So he was removed.
Skepticism and criticism (preferably constructive) are fine. Members simply calling his work “Bullshit”, “crap program”, “bunch of bs”, and “a joke” (which is what’s been happening) is not fine.
It’s very simply asked that people address their questions to Dr. Darden himself, like you did the other day about the measurements. Kinda makes sense, right? If you read something and have doubts about it, and if the guy who wrote the thing has a Q&A forum, you go to him and say “Hey, um… what, how, huh?”
Didn’t mean to/don’t want to derail or interrupt your log further, Anna. Just needed to clarify what’s what.
Thank you for explaining your side and it makes sense. I still think what I said falls under skepticism but I see your point and it probably would have led to more personal comments from other people.
Anyway, point taken, I won’t say anymore about it.
Week 22: Day 5
Shrimp Squats: 3x6/side-45lbs, 5x12/side-25lbs w/1min rests

@dagill2 I didn’t want to clog up pwn’s log
Mao is actually quite a good role model in regards to leadership and treatment of women (again, I’m biased)- the problem is that absolute power corrupts absolutely
I don’t actually agree with “Power grows out of the barrel of a gun”. “Power grows out of bank accounts” is more accurate, but the original statement was accurate when Mao was around
Let’s agree to disagree.
That’s not how things work here on the internet!
Fight me then 
Week 22: Day 6
Military press: 5x12/side-25lbs,60sec rests
Seated press: 5x10/side-25lbs, 90sec rests
6x(20sec kickboxing combo/side +20sec rest)
Week 22: Day7- quick conditioning
10db man makers-20lb dbs+20kbs-25lbs+9manmakers + 18kbs…1 manmaker+2kbs)
I’m noticing a bit more fluff around the belly, but sodium has been very high the past week, photos look pretty similar, belt still fits and press is improving nicely- so not too bothered
@Voxel I’m eating “16-1700” kcal a day, but I’m noticing that the last 2-300kcal are calorie dense things like chocolate or pB eaten minutes before bed “because I can” and they are quick- not because I feel hungry. This can’t be good right?
On the other hand, even though I don’t feel hungry, I can’t seem to stop grabbing them
@SkyzykS @garagerocker13
I made some salo with bbq rub yesterday. I think that’s a major crime against Ukraine, but they don’t have a secret police so I’m safe right 
Tell me how you rationally arrive at this conclusion. What is the rationale for it being bad? What are you taking into consideration? Are your goals and your health part of your thought matrix? Would it be better to not have these calories at all? Is consuming these calories from these particular sources meaning that you are missing out on something else nutritionally?
I feel like I’m eating food that I don’t really need and most of the time it’s not particularly good food either ie chocolate or honey
Probably not. The decision is usually made based on taste, convenience and supply
Well I haven’t weighed mysel in a while so idk where I’m at but I’m probably in a surplus
