Best Training Article Ever

All of Charles Poloquin’s work has been very influential for me, but seeing as a lot of my fave’s have been mentioned, I thought I’d add two that have not yet been posted.

First, a great training program for the Advanced lifter. It’s one that some of the new forum lurkers can try after some of the ‘beginner’ programs. Superbly referenced and fascinating:

Second (and I’m not sucking up here Shugs) is Merry Christmas Bob by Chris Shugart

One of the most motivational editorials I’ve ever read. And I hate that kind of stuff!

Is this about traing, in my opinion it is just that. I have spent a lot of money on book since I read it and I have learnt the base which most of the other articels are based on, this makes it easier to modifie every program so it suits me or someone who wants some help with there training.
The articel that I use as education most often is Back to Basics

I must have linked to it some 50 times in discussion on other forums.

Though Charles Staley’s EDT program at Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION is very effective, I’ll have to go with Bryan Haycock’s HST program at Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION

Coach Davies’ articles are all excellent, but the one that particularly struck me was “Forgotten Squats.” Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION

I added these two to my workouts as soon as I read the article and got great results.

I like the Simpletons Guide to the Poliquin Principles. It really seems to help when I’m designing new training cycles.

One of my favorites is the “A Bowlful of Jelly/German Body Comp” program, found at:

www.testosterone.net/html/34jelly.html

new readers don't exactly mean newbies, and this article presents a training program that is a little unique. It would be great for a beginner or advanced lifter, used in conjunction with a cutting diet.

Best training article for me is without question the “bring the pain” series. This method of training covers all of the bases. Talk about givin’ yourself a good 'ol whoopin!
The first installment of the series can be found here: Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION
The name of the article fits all too well…
