What is it?

Edit: I was the second one to ask

As I understand it the original Litvinov workout is 3 rounds of:

405lbs front squat x 8
400m sprint (sub 75s)

Iā€™ve always assumed a clean is done to get the weight in place for the front squats, since itā€™s done outside, but Iā€™m not sure its specified.

Thatā€™s exactly it. Then Dan John tried a whole bunch of different things and gave ways to scale it down for normal people, haha.

I wonder if it ever actually was done.

In fairness, he was a Soviet athlete in the 80s, so his pre-workout was Dbol and cocaine.

Damn, thatā€™s the missing link in my training!

Actually, being 35 and drinking alcohol regularly is probably the weak link in my training. Part of me wonders what I could accomplish if I eliminated booze, but the other part of me would be pissed if the gains were anything other than legendary.

I think thatā€™s one of the reasons I wouldnā€™t do steroids. It would suck to find out I still suck

For me stopping being a heavy drinker didnā€™t help that much for strength, for physique yeah certainly. But that wasnā€™t legendary

I live in a country where alcohol is expensive. Not drinking helped my bank account be less empty!

Well in my country alcohol is a way of life and my brotherā€™s wine store is open (itā€™s a necessity lol)

Itā€™s a way of life here too, just that you are supposed to make your own.

I guess Iā€™m lucky to be allergic to alcohol
As @T3hPwnisher put it in a post a while back, thereā€™s no dilemma :joy:

I find ways to fit booze into my calories. The tripping point is when I get really hungry when my judgement is impairedā€¦

Thatā€™s the major pitfall for me, I drink a beer and Iā€™m instantly hungry

Thatā€™s when I used to order stuff like a large pizza with pepperoni, x-cheese, bacon, sausage, and hot banana peppers.

And finish it! Maybe a couple pieces left over for breakfast.
