    Trying to procure some dumbbells...

    I'm building a home gym Started with a deal on craig's list for 300 for a marcy squat/bench/lat station 300 lbs of steel and an Olympic barbell and ez-curl bar. I'm quickly outgrowing it. The bar is some sort of fitness authority trash, chrome is chipping so I'm ordering a rogue bar and 160...

    Who can say they've won because of strength?

    Ive had people tap just from being crossfaced when I had side control... so yeah being strong can make life miserable for your opponent sometimes.

    Kroc row question.

    I'm using Kroc rows because I need to work on a muscular imbalance. I injured my left shoulder/upper back about a year ago, and doing BB rows lets my right side compensate. Also, after playing around with adding rows and more pullups for the last 2 weeks, I find my shoulder feels a lot better...

    pulling a weighted sled

    They have sleds made for toddlers with a backrest on them, get one of those. Can easily hold 35lb standard plates up to 4 high. Or just grab sandbags like people throw in their truck bed.

    pulling a weighted sled

    Find a hill, get a plastic sled, load that with weights, and then run uphill dragging the sled. Prepare to wish for death now, because that is what you will feel like. The incline will more than compensate for the reduced friction of the snow, plus it is like doing a hill sprint and a sled pull...

    Any Type 1 Diabetics here?

    @CoreCanyon, do you have contact information for your friend? I'd like to have my brother ask him about proper blood glucose management for weightlifting, as apparently I found out yesterday that my brother has been into the 300's a few times in the last few weeks.

    Starting Strength question - added exercise

    I was a puss and "afraid" of the powerclean to start as well. I didnt try one til 5 weeks into SS, now it is by far my favorite exercise. Nothing is as satisfying of the sound of your feet hitting the ground and the plates rattling when you hit the rack. And feeling that heavy weight explode upward.

    Starting Strength and Conditioning Programing

    Thankfully as long as I'm still making gains in strength I'll be satisfied. As my lifting is mainly just for the sake of being strong and to compliment my grappling game rather than to obtain monumental PR's in each lift. I just wanted to know from people who have been training longer and much...

    Starting Strength and Conditioning Programing

    I'm currently 6 weeks into Starting Strength and making gains as expected. I would like to add in some barbell complexes for conditioning. I saw the July conditioning challenge and thought that routine would be perfect. My current schedule is MWF SS lifts in morning with grappling in the evening...
