225# Tom, awesome. Totally understand about the confidence thing. I think that may be holding back my bench (that, or lack of strength :p) But, pray tell, sir, what is this new-fangled deadlift of which you speak? Today was posterior chain stuff for me. Deadlifts- no # increase on last week...

Long arms? Doesn't help with the overhead extensions!

Lib, I find x10 quite draining. Not sure why that DVD seems so tiring....but you're not alone!

Just finished To The Max - felt tough on my tired old quads! Briefly, Karen (I'll think a bit more about your questions and may have more to add later), but HTS has helped me in so many ways. Not necessarily getting me PRs (although there have been a couple), but generally making me...

I like squats again today (Roz is right love/hate). Yesterday was 4x15 front squats. Today 5x3 front squats. I'm much happier with the low reps! Tom, glad you can EZ bar curl again. Just don't overdo it, ok? 205 bench is impressive. Like 4x my bench!!!!! Roz- awesome squatting. Do you think RP...

HTS = i HaTe Squats

Lib, amazing how intense Cathe can make low impact, isn't it? If you got through that, you'll breeze through Hardstrikes....

Lol Lisa! I often wonder if HTS takes me so long because I'm so slow at the equipment changes!! Tom, I've switched phones since I've last tried reaching the forum from a phone, so I'm no help. Lisa, powerlifting supposedly requires a bar touch down for presses....and I at least like to get...

Elsie- me too on the tilted uterus (found out 22 years ago with my first pregnancy!) I've been doing a Dean Somerset semi-customised programme, and I'm finally seeing an improvement. Lots and lots of unusual core work and rom stuff. I know that if I don't work at this stuff now, I'll suffer With...

Tom, your mum must have seen and been through so much over 93 years - I bet she's an amazing woman. Mind you, she raised a son who is prepared to do 12 sets of strict presses. Nuff said! Hope alls well in Arkansas. Lib, glad to hear you killed it today! Definitely get some food in the morning...

Good points Elsie! Also mark Lauren is worth looking at - his mobility did really challenges my hips!

Still no Lat doms though.....

Lib, do you workout in the morning? If so, I'd go down the route Roz suggests and chug a protein shake. If you're doing cardio, it's ok to do it fasted, and if you workout later in the day, I don't see the problem with not eating in the morning (as long as it doesn't send you head first into a...

Lisa-yes, I was delaying HTS! I got it done, though. You're right, it's a lot of leg work, but each workout seems to be total body, so deadlifts and squats most days! Hard strikes today. Good shoulder burner. Fun workout. Lib, sounds like you did really well on the ice workout. It always takes...

Lib, I reckon you should be fine with 2 days in between.

Tom, hopefully the strength loss is only temporary. Maddening, isn't it? Sometimes I can't even tell why- I guess you know it's food, so that helps. Karen, great feeling when the posterior chain hurts! I love the sound of the KB programme. Lib, looking forward to hearing your reviews of the...

Lisa, please come and join the extraneous vowel club. It runs a comprehensive programme for helping to use up the coloured ink cartridges on your pc, and explaining how worlds are spelt. I can send you a catalogue. It'll change your spelling behaviour for life, once you've learnt how it works...

And just to show how impressionable I am.....I did x10 (or some of it) this morning!

Hey Roz. Good to hear from you. Glad you had a great vacation- where did you go? Yes, I got the physique templates- 4 days per week. I'm currently doing 4 days in every 6 with HTS, so I thought I'd stick to that. Also, I think 4 days has upper / lower splits rather than single body part...
