I checked out these videos at:

www.joeskopec.com

...and they were quite entertaining!

The form on the exercises was loose, at least, by my standards, altho, on this
website, I saw a guy doing a powerclean from a pool of water (see the "coolpix"
link).

I was just woundering, have any of you ever done pool workouts?

I think that these would be excellent for rehabilitation, and with fans,
flippers, paddles, arm bands, leg bands, they could be used for training
explosiveness.

I have been considering doing a repitions scheme also with 10, 5, 15 reps on
squats, leg press, bench press, chinpus, and crushing grippers.

More will most defintely follow...

Amit writes of a new squat record of 1102.3 I wonder if it's like the new
bench of 965 I heard of recently:
lots of drugs, tight, tight shirts, and loose, loose judging?

Other than Mark Henry and Paul Anderson, there's probably only one of two
men capable of a genuine, drug free, suit free squat in excess of 950.
Otherwise, it's a squat done unnaturally, hence bogus just like silicon
boobs.

New sqt record?

I saw this artcle in musclemag- about a world record
sqt of 1102.3 (500kg)by Steve

Goggins.
Also- there are some websites speaking of this ....

Then on this website Monster muscle -they have this
page: All time Historical mens

powrlifting world records.
In this Goggins ranks 3rd.
The first is Brent Mikesell 1140.9(517.5 kg)
2nd:Paul Childress 1124.4 (510 kg)

Amit Sardal asks:

How to make 'Tofu'? What exacrtly is it?


Tofu is literally the curd of soy beans, akin to panir as milk curd. Pinar
is made by bringing milk to a boil, then adding either citric acid crystals,
lemon juice, or white vinegar in sufficient quantities for the acid to
react, then percipitate curd. Curd is concentrated protein.

Soy beans are likewise brought to a boil, but with a seaweed which acts to
form curd. As with pinar, the curd is gathered with a mesh scoop, then
placed in small wooden boxes which mold the curd into a block.

The Book of Tofu and The Book of Miso were both published by the Soy Foods
Foundation in Northern California in the seventies, while revised editions
are available. www.powells.com is always a good source for used and
remaindered books.

Tofu has the added advantage of being estrogen free soy derivative protein.
It's excellent chilled, topped with thinly sliced green onion and shaved
bonito fish, with a hint of soy sauce added - and with a flash of warm sake
to wash it down. honto ni yo!

Miso is equally good. East Asian food preservation includes both
fermentation and brine curing: miso is a paste  that is both fermented and
brine cured, very high not only in protein but also living enzymes. It takes
the place of menudo (Mexican tripe soup) as a hangover cure. When I lived in
Kyoto, there were at least 15 varieties of miso (and at least 50 varieties
of mushrooms) readily available. Miso ingredients always include soy bean,
then usually another bean or grain. Miso is made with dashi (light, tasty
fish broth) - but don't buy the dried dashi since it's full of
ajinomoto/mono sodium glutanate. I use dried mackeral powder readily
available in Korean groceries. a scoop of miso paste placed in a bowl of hot
broth is the best way to dilute the thick paste, then adding it to the pot
of broth. you can crack an egg into the bowl piping hot miso, stirring it
quickly to feather it. green onions, small seaweeds, mushrooms and tofu all
go nicely with it. be careful of buying miso in korean markets: read the
ingredients since some forms of korean miso include large quantities of
cayenne powder (Korean and Thai foods, along with some Southern Indian
foods, count as the hottest/muye picante foods in the world).

I'm also careful to read labels with tofu. Having grown up in San Jose,
California, then lived in Kyoto, Japan, I'm used to fresh tofu that is
preservative free. some packaged tofus are not preservative free. also be
careful to read the 'sell by' date. old tofu is subject to putrification by
bacteria and can make you very sick with food poisoning - just like old
rice.

The Japanese habit of serving a bowl of rice with tofu/miso is a great way
to get complimentary amino acids in order to have complete protein. Both
rice and soy are lacking in some essential amino acids (one's the human
cannot make - there are 8 of them), but by combining you past that problem.

In Japan you can also get tofu made from sesame - incredibly good.

James,

I must point out that I was merely giving an example
of what those people over at the Weston Price
Foundation say.  I gave my post a sensationalistic
flavor with that purpose in mind.  I can't say I
endorse that 100%.  B'sides, if big carbs give me
heartburn and horrible episodes of acid reflux in the
middle of the night, and fats make me feel like a
million dollars, I'm going with the fats.  It could be
something else, but a little while after I switched to
high fats, my previously pathetic sperm count (10%)
shot up alarmingly, I think well into the nineties,
plus mouthsores, something I always had painful
problems with, went AWAY. I am not saying they became
less frequent.  They DISAPPEARED.  For an entire year.
  Then last month I experimented with high carbs for
three weeks.  Boom, three painful holes in my tongue
and cheek lining.  They stayed there for over a week
while I tried to tough it out, and were not getting
any better, one under my tongue was getting worse
even, then I switched to my regular diet and they went
away in a couple of days.  Empirical, I know, but in
the real world, that's all that counts.

So it is to be expected that I am biased against
carbs; I suck at looking up studies and am certainly
not going to go head to head with you on that, but if
you visit that website you will find references to a
substantial body of studies that show carbs to
apparently be the cause of heart disease and that also
show saturated fats to be very healthy.  There's this
study that gets mentioned a lot; it's Framingham or
Farmingham or some such.  Care to elaborate on that
one right there?

Once again, these subversive nutrition sites are
westonaprice.org and biblelife.org.  They reference a
whole lot of studies and they make a hell of a lot of
sense to me.

Greetings from Trinidad & Tobago,

I am new to the HIT training and I would like to ask your help in devising a
routine that would be adequate, in order to keep the mass I have as well as to
gain more size. I have been lifting for the past five years and I currently
weigh 192 pounds. My calves and my triceps are lagging somewhat and I would like
to bring them up (especially calves) to par with the rest of the body.

Also, if any one can recommend some suitable DVD's on the subject of HIT, please
let me know.

Thank you all.

Neil.

Hitters....

I have a game plan to include novel, and exciteing training stimulus in the
years training for 2005.

I never used to be much of a believer in varying training all that much, I would
stick to the same exercises, day in day out, month after month after month.

However, I have now laxed off this a little bit, and I am beginning to
experiment a little bit.

I do change my workouts from time to time, I just couldn't get into this
approach to training, because I thought that I couldn't trace, and keep tags on
progress as to how I was getting on with training.

At some stage I thought I could try experimenting with a 15/15 rep velocity
cadence, but there is another method that did actually occur to me after I read
that post on super-high reps.

In the recesses of my mind, I recall someone telling me about the use of a
system called heavy/light, whereby you'd alternate high reps say, 20's (high
reps of course), and low reps, say 5's, and they told me that this was an
excellent way to progress, and that they had found the results pleasing, and the
training stimulus that it provided was novel and exciteing.

I thought , that at some stage, I could try alternateing, in groups of three,
three (naturally....:o) ) workouts, to which I'd be doing singles, after a
thorough warmup, say 20*, 15*, 10*, 5*, 3*, 2* and 1 as my workset (*=warmup
sets at low relative intensity), and I'd call this workout "a".

The next workoput, is workout b, and has me do sets of 10 reps after a warmup,
and this is, essentially, just my regular workout.

The last workout, workout c, has me do super high reps, and these could be done
with 100's, and non-explosively, with little acceleration and deceleration.

I usually do a single set of 10 for my upper body, the equivalent of a single
set os 15 for my grip, and a signgle set of 20 for my lower body, legs, calfs,
and abdominals.

This is what I do now, at least.

Then, again, I may try going as high as 150 or even 200 reps.

This provides a VASTLY varied training stimulus, and it will take quite a bit of
experimentation and fine tuning to get the loads and weights correct to fail at
APPROXIMATELY 100 reps, and to find my one reps max 100% absolute intensity, and
100 percent relative intensity.

I will let you know how I get on....

Okay, Ken, that was very helpful.  I looked up a
couple of forearm anatomy charts and yes, the pronator
teres is exactly where my pain is located.  Below the
crook of the elbow, proximal side.  I'll keep looking
for practices that I should integrate/avoid and
therapies that I can apply -- many thanks.

Okay, just one more question: Last night, I was trying
a new weight on the standing military press.  I did an
initial set of three reps and everything was fine.
Then I waited two minutes and on the first rep of my
second set, for which I strained a little bit, I felt
something like a sudden electrical discharge or a
sharp pinprick in my right front delt.  I lowered the
weight very carefully and completed reps two and three
without incident, and today there is no bruising or
pain whatsoever.

This has happened several times starting back in 1994
when I trained at home.  Usually it seems to be the
consequence of an insufficient warmup and an abusive
layback.  (I'll check my 1994 records.)  Am I pinching
a nerve or something?  It does feel like that.

PS - It is interesting to note that my injuries and
pains always occur on the right side of my body.
Wonder why.

I changed the brand of L-glutamine that I'm taking.  (I'm only taking one
rounded tea spoon per day, not one table spoon as I stated earlier.)  There
haven't been any changes to my diet, aside from doubling up on the amount of
protein powder in my shakes.

I take three ZMA capsules in the evening, about an hour before bed.

I have taken ZMA both with and without calcium without any stomach problems.
   ZMA should be taken at night just prior to bed, preferably without other
supplements.  When and how are you taking it?  Did you start any other
supplements at the same time?  Did you make any other changes to your diet
at the same time?

Yes.  I put 1% milk on my cereal and in my protein shakes.  I also use 1/2 & 1/2
in my coffee.  I think I'll just lay off the ZMA for a while.

ZMA is zinc, magnesium, and B6.  It is a powder packaged in capsules.

Im not really doing it for muscle growth. For one workout it will
shock the muscles and the muscle attachments will grow , but it
cleans your body out . Helps you to learn hard work, intensity, plus
burning a few more calories than normal. Plus since people arent
adapted to high rep training you can grow some, since we all have
different muscle fiber types. We have different and various slow and
fast twitch muscle fibers.

Sarn,

I was forced to go from three workouts a week to two
and after a miserable decompensation period got used
to it and am experiencing better progress this way. My
workouts continue to last one hour. Then again I don’t
know how I qualify as being in adherence to HIT
standards and unofficial customary practices:

One very heavy set per movement – NO
100% intensity every set – NO
Strength gains as sole objective – YES
Microloading – YES
Six to ten repetitions per set mostly – NO
Rarely switching exercises – YES
20-rep squatting – NO
Preference of machines over free weights – NO
Brief training sessions – NO
Low general and specific training frequency – YES
Lifting slowly, sometimes superslowly – NO
Preexhaustion supersets – NO
Intensity techniques: forced reps, negatives, static
contractions – NO
Regular layoffs – NO
Strict use of a supine grip for rows and pulldowns –
NO
Generally no isolation movements, mostly compounds
only – YES
No direct work for hamstrings – NO
High carbs, moderate protein, low fat – NO
Very conservative calorie surplus for bulking up – YES
Very conservative calorie reduction for dieting down –
NO
Performing stiff-legged deadlifts over conventional
deadlifts – NO
Not performing overhead presses – NO
There is only one valid theory of training,
Jones/Mentzer/Darden are the holy trinity, everyone
out there is overtraining, saying “the volume people”,
occasional philosophical/intellectual high-horsing,
Mentzer should have won the 1980 Olympia - NO

I started having some problems with upset stomach shortly after I
started taking ZMA.  Can ZMA cause this by itself or is it
interacting with another supplement?  Here is my daily supplement
intake:
one tablespoon of L-glutamine
a basic multi-vitamin
chromium picolinate
omega 3 oil
garlic oil
400 I.U. vitamin E

Any help would be appreciated.

Impy,
   I think the used market is the best way to go.  I recently picked up a
$1000+ NordicTrack treadmill for free.  The lady just wanted it out of
her garage.  It's about 1 or 2 years old and probably only used for the
first month of ownership.

This is about a reply to a post about super-high repitions and some other
ideas...

I am having to post these alltogther, becuase my email is being VERY slow at
creating email messages.

Chirs says:

(I am using) upwards to around 50-70 reps with very light weight and a rapid no
jerking rep speed just for a change for one workout.

Sarn says: I have often woundered about this....

If people do 10's and singles, then why can't they try 100's.

And, not done explosively, as in 40%---60% absolute intensity, with little
acceleration deceleration.

Normally I would call this speed-strength training...

I heard somewhere that SUPER high repitition training is worthless, because the
muscles do not experience enough tension to illicit a responce.

Unless you were doing the reps explosively.

Chris says: Give it a try.

Sarn says: I will, but probably not for a while.

The reason that I say this is because I have to reduce training frequency from 5
times per week to 3 times per week, and I only want to change one thing, one
MAJOR thing at a time, eles how am I to keep track of what's working???

So, I will 1)Reduce volume as in NUMBER of exercises,
2)Reduce training frequency to 3X per week, then 3)Change my grip routein to try
and close (oneday, someday) the heavier #2 and #1 grippers.

Then mabey I'll try 1's, 10's, 100's alternateing like that...

Chris says:Next time you go back to normal training you'll have more intensity,
better blood flow and the shock to the muscles is good.

Sarn says:Please let me know how this goes on, those who try it.

Keep a record of it, I do feel that there might be some merit in alternative
heavy/light, or even better heavy/medium/light.

I wanted to ask those of you who have tried to extend on this less-is-more
approach to heavy duty and who have reduced training frequency from twice per
week, once per week, once every 8, 9, 10, 11 days, once every fortnight (2
weeks), and so on.

I have, at my little flat an article by John Little in Austrailian IRONMAN
magazine who states that after heavy eccentric training, a group of subjects
took something like 6 weeks, yes, that's right six weeks to recover.

I mean, how far can this be pushed?

IS it true???

I also am looking for information on beginners bodybuilding books, how tos, what
to's, and those books especially with diagrams as to HOW to do the exercise
properly.

Anything with a HIT type feel to it???

I have a friend who is very sick, and needs to go to a gym to workout to build
up his weight, and appetite.

He wants a book.

Oooooooooooookaaaaaaaaaay!
So thats Yogurt!
We use it(We:Indians including my family).
Now, I`m gonna use it a lot more.
The prob was that I thought it was called 'curds' in
english. A vocab problem.
Thnx for clearing up the confusion:)

How much do you have to spend to get a decent recumbent stationary
bike? Those cheap little Proform don't seem worth it, but it's like
350+ for a Schwinn or other kind of bike. Seemed like a real nice one
though. I have to look over the used market in the paper, seems like
one could get quite a steal that way!

Impy

upwards to around 50-70 reps with very light weight and a rapid no
jerking rep speed just for a change for one workout. Give it a try.
Next time you go back to normal training you'll have more intensity,
better blood flow and the shock to the muscles is good.

Then what I have to do is clear -- stop working!  I
shall now devote all of my non-training time to rest
and contemplation.

Thanks, Ken. Very informative!

Try doing pulldowns on the lat bar with your arms in a  supine position.
I've found this to be not only an excellent biceps  exercise but one that does
not exacerbate any aches in and around the elbow  area.
