Brignole lat pull-ins

I concur, with High intensity business a close 2nd, and biased against cardiovascular conditioning

That’s 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 ā€œbombast or dogmaā€ is completely stomped. Which is why it takes me ten years to put new stuff out;)

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 — IF YOU’RE STILL TRAINING TO FAILURE, YOU’RE LOSING THE PLOT✱

:check_mark: Your nervous system doesn’t care if you meant to fail

:check_mark: The last rep is often the worst for recruitment

:check_mark: Failure trains collapse; RIR trains composure

:check_mark: Leave a rep in the tank today, and recruit more muscle tomorrow

:check_mark: Precision beats breakdown every single time

Been following Paul Carter lately, who espouses the same things, minus the histrionics. Even he admits that sometimes – even when aiming for what you THINK will be 1RIR, you find yourself at failure. And it becomes a useful boundary-marking exercise — unless of course, one is extremely emotionally fragile! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :laughing:

There’s 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 ā€œrunā€ 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 I’ve been doing a set or 2 every time I train, and I’m getting the hang of them. They’re growing on me.
