How much do you usually run? Iāve been checking out lots of different peopleās routines to get an idea of how much I can run without screwing up my pursuit of becoming irresponsibly strong.

Hey Csulli - I train 4 days per week, on 5/3/1 Wendlers.
I try to run 4 days per week - 1.5 miles at a time. but in reality, i will usually get two days of running in, and sometimes 4 days.
any more distance than that, and the parts start giving me problems - back, knees, etc.
does this help?

Yes very much thanks! I was only going to try and run 3 times a week at distances between 1 and 3 miles. Mostly around 1. I guess I was just looking for other lifters who did some running to reassure myself that I could throw some in without becoming a skeletal weakling.
Met with the PL trainers on Sat again,
did sets of rack pulls - worked up to 485 for triples with a regrip every time.
then did some KB swings - 58lbs and 4 sets of 15 reps, and 3 sets of box jumps x 15 reps
so, I will be on my own for the next four weeks and the training will be like so:
next week - concentrate on rack pulls again, look for a max 1R.
Week after, reverse band DL in the powerack.
week after, band from the floor pulls for max weight
week after, will be back to rack pulls.
NOW -
Apparently, when these PLāers start training for an event, they will do all the ancillary exercises, and not even train on the particular exercise until the day of the event. after these four weeks, weāll get back together and work on my actual DL form, which is what I hired them for in the first place!!!
I figure that they know what they are doing, and they are conistantly pushing me to compete in an event, and I get that my committtment level and training will definity improve if I were to enter, but I just am not iterested, yaāknow?
oh well, if I do start pulling some serious weights, somewhere in the high 400ās then I may think about it.
what do you all think?
I think you should do it anyway! People always tell that to meā¦
If ya keep waitinā to be āstrong enoughā youāll never do itā¦
ALSO, I think youāre already quite strong and this will just be XXXXtra motivation!
Hey SpockieGurl!!!
I will take that under consideration!
Tues AM - Skwatz~

is that UP in my log?
well, hello UpieGurl - thanks for stopping by.
;^)
is this log still relevant?
so.
anyone interested in my shoulder issues?
Talk away Edgy.
thanks, Buzy~
in 5/3/1, it mentions that if you dont have shoulder problems, then you should be doing dips, then the article goes on to discuss the benefits of dips.
so, start doing dips, and within a few months, had some issues benching. come to find out i have now damaged my biceps tendon that stretch into the shoulders.
that was about 8 mos ago, and i finally started with a sports doc to rehab the bicepts tendon with ice, electo magnetic stuff and exercises.
moral of the story? dont believe every thing that you read.
There you are, youāve been hiding. I donāt even know where I am on TNation

Ouch.
Were you doing weighted dips or body weight?
Howās the rehab going?
rehab has worked for the most part, back to doing OH presses, and restarting 5/3/1 -
