Ammonia. Gets the adrenaline pumping, opens the airway, activates kill mode. I forget which brand that is, but it's basically nose tork. I'd like to hit 500 and be done with it, will it help? |

That's why they have the single use inhalants at doctors offices. They give you a little pop of adrenaline basically. So- Since the guy that owned the local crossfit gym split with his wife; she took over and the programming looks like a woman picked it. Running, jump ropes, playground games (waiting for duck-duck-goose to be in a WOD soon). I asked and was given permission her to start an informal strength based (strong man-esque?) WOD in the evenings after her last classes. She just started a boot camp for fat chick's that will bump a strength WOD till about 7:00pm I told her I'd buy some implements and gear to start with, basically a few things that I want anyway. Then I'd have to get my greenhouse finished first, so probably start in two months, give or take. Suggestions? I need to start thinking of both gear and programming |

Can someone explain to me what Rippetoe means in the following statement about romanian deadlifts?
The RDL is a great exercise for your lower back. It is especially useful to get stronger in the first couple of inches of your deadlift. I've never understood how a lift that never goes to the ground can help at the starting point of the deadlift. |

It is especially useful to get stronger in the first couple of inches of your deadlift. I've never understood how a lift that never goes to the ground can help at the starting point of the deadlift. Now, from the article/video it seems like he is saying RDLs are a good assistance exercise because it stretches the muscles more since you are controlling the bar on the way down and then reversing the path of travel using only your muscles. So it is better because you aren't 1)bouncing bumpers off the deck(he is making jabs at crossfit) and 2) you aren't just locking out then dumping the bar to the floor which doesn't work the eccentric portion of the deadlift so much. So basically, you are lighting up the muscles you use to get the bar off the ground without cheating. Edit: lol, after I wrote Rip generally gears his stuff to more entry level type folks he finished the video with saying he does not really recommend RDLs for novice lifters. |

I just read the article and have the video going now. First, whenever you see Rippetoe's name associated with information understand that it is generally solid advice for relatively new lifters. He makes his money on getting beginners strong but these techniques don't always carry over to intermediate lifters and carry over even less often to advanced lifters. Now, from the article/video it seems like he is saying RDLs are a good assistance exercise because it stretches the muscles more since you are controlling the bar on the way down and then reversing the path of travel using only your muscles.

My posture, position under the bar, squat depth and width, shin splints, etc are all improved. When he worked over my feet and shins it felt like I'd never stood on my feet before. They felt completely different, like they were completely connected to the ground and directly under me. The pain while he's doing it is unreal. |

When do you incorporate straps into deads? My grip, even mixed, fails before my muscles. I'm doing KB swings and a
hand gripper (Captains of Crush) to improve grip strength. Do I go higher reps till my grip catches up or straps? |

I don't know jack shit about competitive powerlifting. Do any of you guys know any good resources for learning what all that entering a meet and competing would entail? I seem to remember at least a couple of guys here competing back when I would frequent this thread.
Mrs BASE has decided she hates running and wants to lift competively instead. She has a bunch of questions that I have no idea how to answer. Also, for the first time in almost 2yrs since I smooshed a couple discs in my back I deadlifted enough weight that it felt a little bit like a workout  it would appear that doing the exact opposite of what my doctors and chiro told me to do is working out really well. Feels better than it has in 20 yrs right now.
