Did some PT with other poolees and delayed entry people today, along with a couple Marines, and oh boy was it fun. Surprisingly, the running was the easy part for me…the calisthenics were rough, we just did so dang much. I’m glad I didn’t work out before I went, that’s for sure.
Now I have a better idea of how to train in preparation…hope I can make it for Thursday’s PTing in the future.
Awesome thread! I did a ME lower body last night, didn’t get the PRs that I wanted, and decided on 20 rep squats at the end as punishment.

I know the title of the video is DC Training/Pinwheel Curls, but I’ve never done them before so I wanted to check with some of you guys who do them first. Is that how they are performed? [/quote]
Yup.
That video is referenced to a lot for proper technique.
Thanks, X.

It was only 35$ for the board and the dry erase markers.
I’m planning on hosting a powerlifting meet at my house (in my gym) for kids from my high school.
I wrote up the entry form and flyer.
I just need to make some final things and push the date back about 4 weeks but hopefully it will be a good time.
I just went around today and got about 15 guys saying they are interested in doing it.

All I’ve read about it looks great, I’m definitely considering it and already using some of their techniques. (fasted AM cardio, carb cutoffs, triple rest-pause, extreme stretching, etc)

Hey, are you saying “NOOOOOOO!!!” to free food ?! I plan on spending my christmas at my family’s too, emptying their fridge.
X-bC: Hosting a powerlifting meet sounds real cool! Hopefully you’ll get a couple of them interested in lifting for real (not playing around at the gym, but getting more serious).

Yeah, I’ve read all the stickies at IM, I’m halfway through the DC thread in T-Cell Alpha, so I’m doing my homework. I’ve been wanting to give it a shot for a while now.
Dre if you need any help clarifying things you can email(not PM) me.
I, like Christian, feel that the BOI is overhyped lol
I saw this while looking at some of Justin’s videos, what do you guys think of the sissy squats he does in the begging, any good for quad development, i have been looking for something new to try.

He doesn’t do any sissy squats? That’s a hack-squat machine he’s using… We do have a sissy-squat-type quad stretch though.
Yeah, hack squats are a great quad exercise.
Edit: Make that “machine hack squats are a great quad exercise”. Free-weight hacks suck balls imo… At least if your goal is to become a rather large bodybuilder.
