Wendler's program would probably suit you nicely as a beginner.Jamie Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182869171233847161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-11648711652080107802009-10-28T02:11:25.141-04:002009-10-28T02:11:25.141-04:00Thanks for the response.

I like what Ori teaches about estrogens, but he's also written some crap like "humans are inherently vegan".<br /><br />Your blog is awesome, and I take your ideas about training seriously. Bought a bench and a squat rack so I can train in my garage and avoid the faggotry of commercial gyms.<br /><br />I'm new to training, but pulled a 135.5 kg deadlift yesterday at a bodyweight of ~73 kgs, 5'10 (up 9 fucking kgs from my last attempt) thanks to training heavy singles, animal protein and cod liver oil. Trying to beat my much older brother's record of 200 kg Deadlift. At this rate I'll beat it by halfway next year!<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration and training info, it's awesome to know there are other pockets of resistance where pussification hasn't taken hold. I look forward to owning a copy of your book.<br /><br />MQ.Michael Qnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-40783990197629987412009-10-27T18:38:14.194-04:002009-10-27T18:38:14.194-04:00"Rage....Taking over....""Rage....Taking over...."Doug Gravesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-39535426356382976602009-10-27T18:19:00.387-04:002009-10-27T18:19:00.387-04:00Hi C&P,

I've only been lifting a little while, but really like the idea of lifting heavy singles in the manner you prescribe. However, as a noob do you think that this is the best approach from the beginning? Or is it better to follow something like 5x5 to learn proper form on the lifts, even if it isn't/hasn't been the most efficient means of improving for you (and many others)? Would like to see a blog entry on this beginner connundrum at some stage if you think it has legs, or just a comment here would be cool. <br />Thanks, B.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02447957740720245964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-45080528333782032322009-10-27T18:00:40.676-04:002009-10-27T18:00:40.676-04:00While I'm willing to get up to almost any sort...While I'm willing to get up to almost any sort of craziness, diet-wise, Ori's a little too far off the map for me. Given that the Roman legionnaires were fairy small guys, muscularly, I'm not really interested in obtaining their physique. I've cited some of Ori's work in my upcoming book to support by cheat meal methodology, and workload capacity, but the Warrior Diet's not really suited to my goals.<br /><br />There'll be plenty of time to fast when I'm dead.

I know it is supposed to increase protein efficiency, lower insulin, raise GH levels and increase insulin sensitivity. <br /><br />Ever do any intermittent fasting? I've found it is useful to drop weight (in much the same way a keto run would be, I imagine) but I question whether it's the best system in terms of workout recovery.Michael Qnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-28034527486716670302009-10-26T02:49:46.499-04:002009-10-26T02:49:46.499-04:00How now brown cow.How now brown cow.WenDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841887182506216295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-32514394988792726902009-10-25T23:09:16.600-04:002009-10-25T23:09:16.600-04:00I hate you guys so very much.
