Tell Ian King What To Do!

Tell Ian King to get off his bloody lazy Aussie ass and write some more articles. We need them.

Yeah, and also, I got something for you not to tell Ian King. Don’t tell him where I live.

Goldberg shouts,“Tell him to write about westside!”

The new millenium gladiator idea sounds cool.

-12 weeks to the perfect squat! Cover: greater depth to your squat, back issues, knee issues, abs. Did I say squat depth? Oh yeah squat depth.

-Stretching for range of motion increase. (I read his other stretching article.)

-Shoulder rehab.

-Building a thick: back, traps etc.

-Shaping a muscle. (He sort of hints that he thinks this is possible.) :slight_smile:

I’m going to second Norcross.

A complete guide to identifying and correcting imbalances.

why would i do that? Ian King has competed in powerlifting. Im sure he knows what hes doing. In his books he talks about all of the methods of increasing strength and includes the dynamic and max effort methods.

I know this is cliche and probably overextended - but an overall tweak on troubled bodyparts. For me and probably most this entails: biceps/brachialis, calves, posterior delts, triceps, calves and the lateralis region of the thigh.

peace -

I am doing his Get Big program right now and love it but I would like to see something of his design that incorporates Olympic lifts to build speed strength and muscle.

Oh, I thought of a couple more - clavicular and sternal regions of the pecs.

I would like to see an article by ian that disregards some of his rules but works and is still affective. Ssomething that doesnt train one leg or one arm at a time, something that goes to failure within for the first 3 or 4 weeks everytime, and no crazy 8014 tempos. All of this stuff is great but, a full body workout which used simple but effective training from ian would kick ass.

I say some kind of article about preparation for a sports season.

I third Jason’s idea:

A complete guide to identifying and correcting imbalances.

CNS training/recovery. Something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently…

A series of 3 articles:

1-The best workout/program for Brute Strength

2-The best workout/program for getting Huge

3-The best workout/program for looking goos naked

Most common weakpoints or weaknesses of the most commonly performed excercises and how to overcome them.

  1. A calve routine would be useful (and possibly some other key problem areas…but mine’s calves)

  2. Injury prevention and treatment! Something other than ICE your injuries and don’t train through pain would be great. Since even the best of us get injured I’m thinking something that talks about how to work around certain major injuries in order not to lose gains we worked so hard to get.

Since there are so many unqualified people giving advice (including some PT’s and physical therapists)about how to come back from 2 of the most common weightlifting injuries, Lower Back and Shoulder Injuries, I’d love to see Ian do a series of articles about the best ways to rehab these injuries and how to get back to training normaly again.

I would also have to agree with Norcross, identifying and correcting muscle imbalances…could be very helpfull to many.

I think a functional training routine would be good.

Something for the people like me who train, but are also active in other sports like soccer. So many of the articles just focus on weightlifting like it is done in a vacuum. Many of us play team sports once or twice a week which really complicates training and recovery. Something that addresses that would be most usefull!

If it would have to centre around a specific sport I would say soccer or basketball. Both require lots of indurance but it’s the explosive strenght element that can really be worked on and improved with the proper program.

just my 02

How about an article on the mistakes most often made by experienced weight trainers.
