I don’t think Greg has one. If he did one with Swede that would be awesome.
I googled and found a few episodes were somebody hosting had Pandora on their podcast. 1 with Chad from Juggernaut and a couple from guys I’ve never heard of. Maybe I should just start my own podcast and talk to strong people myself.
I listened to Bryant and Pacifico. Mostly Larry talking about the old days. Pacifico did say that way back when he skull crushered like 365. Today his elbows are all to hell and if he had it to do again he’d avoid skullcrushers. +1 for JM Presses, rolling DB Tri extensions and PJR Pullover, I guess.
He also said former bench world record holder Doug Young was “always a little high on something. Usually marijuana.” Pacifico also said he preferred to train on steroids because of the feeling of well being and lack of injuries. He mentioned that just about everyone juiced in his era.
Wasn’t Doug Young the guy who ended up in his gym with some buddies after they’d been at the bar and refused to let anyone leave until he’d benched five hundred pounds?
That definitely sounds right for some rowdy Texas dudes in the 70s.

Really good and pleasant workout. There are a few conjugate guys to copy now so I didn’t have to think much. Gym wasn’t crowded on Friday evening. Reverse hyper and neck harness was a cool pairing. Working both ends of the spine, like deadlifting but in reverse.
I just saw the same Neversate clip on SportsCenter’s Top 10 plays of the week.
Heeey nice! I don’t think this has been uploaded by Brian on YouTube yet though. Has it?
Hey Flats you what to know something crazy?
So I took 2 weeks off completely after my procedure, and you know what happened?
All pain subsided, and my mobility got much better!
All this lifting keeps us chronically shortened, without a doubt.
I’m trying to figure out some better balance between volume, frequency and variety. I’m getting closer but here’s what I’m thinking:
-3-4 days of lifting (40-50 min cap, density) variety!!
-2-3 days conditioning with bodyweight work added in.
-Daily mobility, but not too much!!! Too much mobility, and too aggressive mobility will do the opposite. Cause inflammation and shorten target areas.
I’m not sure. It’s possible that the clip is weeks/months old. There’s no telling how long it took for it to make the rounds and get on TV.
Density and variety seem pretty important. Heavy straight sets with plenty of rest and consistent progression just smash me.
Lighter weights, better contractions and varying grips and angles makes me feel better.
I think you’re right, even doing the same mobility stuff over and over feels like it works in reverse.
What’s your conditioning going to be like? Still running and sprinting? I thought out jump rope and kettlebell swings last week and never made it past the thinking stage.
This is me with GPP or conditioning work 
Trust your programming! DE lower is super good conditioning. If you’re a true powerlifter, glute/hams rows and pulldowns and anything over like 4 reps is GPP.
I’m starting the track work back this week. But there will be a lot of variety here too:
-Some days sprint work.
-Some days walking.
-Some days 1-2 mile runs.
-Some days bodyweight work for instance 20 lunges, 10 pushups, 2 mins walking quickly, then repeat for 10 or so rounds.
-Will bring back Simple and Sinister. So Swings and TGUs.
Goal will be 3-4 days lifting, 2 days track work.

I also did some trendy subscapular reach-arounds. It was easy to get straight and cramp up my left side but the right was a little stubborn/tricky. Once I got that going I did 2 Real Nice chinups and repeated that 5 times.
Hip circles. Arm circles and psoas eccentrics worked pretty well. I’ll give these a try for awhile.
