I concur, with High intensity business a close 2nd, and biased against cardiovascular conditioning
Thatās a pretty fun approach! Is that done 3 days a week?
Thanks for the mention. I appreciate the acknowledgement.
Thanks! I make a point of rewriting until any ābombast or dogmaā is completely stomped. Which is why it takes me ten years to put new stuff out;)
You are welcome
You earned it,
Btw;
Check out Keith Baar
I believe that was a WOW - Workout of the Week - BBS (or Doug McGuff) style.
@simon_hecubus I thought about your post when I read this:

**TL;DR ā IF YOUāRE STILL TRAINING TO FAILURE, YOUāRE LOSING THE PLOTā±
Your nervous system doesnāt care if you meant to fail
The last rep is often the worst for recruitment
Failure trains collapse; RIR trains composure
Leave a rep in the tank today, and recruit more muscle tomorrow
Precision beats breakdown every single time
Been following Paul Carter lately, who espouses the same things, minus the histrionics. Even he admits that sometimes ā even when aiming for what you THINK will be 1RIR, you find yourself at failure. And it becomes a useful boundary-marking exercise ā unless of course, one is extremely emotionally fragile!
Thereās definitely some feeling in his writing lol. I kinda like it. In fitness there are a lot of cut & dry, logic driven dudes. They like to ārunā programs. Heh. Or cite studies. That gets tedious after a certain point. At least to me.
I kinda blew off the Brignole Cable Squats, but Iāve been doing a set or 2 every time I train, and Iām getting the hang of them. Theyāre growing on me.
