Exactly. The guy who won the most respect award at tough mudder? motherfucker had NO LEGS. He used those curvy metal prostetics and completed the whole mudder. As in all of the obstacles. Body is nothing, mind is everything. Unless you're Christopher Reeve.....


Too soon, I know. I'm terrible.

Ironic day. I'm doing all these shit work problems. "A guy deadlifts a shitton of weight. Is he doing any work from beginning to end?"

No, no displacement.

C'mon, it's bullshit. I just lifted 110 pounds. It may not be that much but it sure is weight

Other piece of advice, do it with a buddy. Have somebody to hold you accountable in some way and vice versa.


The Tough Mudder sound like a lot of fun. Yes we want pics !



I'll only post 3. If you want more just PM me for them (don't want to flood a page).

Do I see a Teamliquid mudder team in the future?


haha that looks awesome man :D I fear I have nowhere near enough stamina/endurance for such a race, but it sounds like a lot of fun ^^


You would be surprised. A year ago my team couldn't complete a simple 3k run without having to stop for a walk or rest and we did the mudder entirely at a run pace with zero stops. It takes a lot of dedication and willpower though. Every human being is given the same constant - a body. The only difference is the mind that pilots that common set of biomechanics. If any TL folks in FL want to train for this just let me know and we can get you on our sponsored team


I would absolutely be in for this... If I were in Florida, instead of New York. I need another goal besides "lift big weights" and "get rugby strong" and mental determination is my favorite thing to work on - fuck everyone that says "you're born with it or you aren't", I'm making myself into the person I want to be mentally and physically.


Thats why i love oly lifting...i get to lift big weights, get rugby strong, AND its so fucking mentally challenging from the technique/speed/coordinations/flexibility involved. I've been doing it for over a year now and my coach still scoffs at me T_T

Happy early birthday!

Nice article by Dave Tate: http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/iron_evolution_phase_7
The entire series is a great read. It's pretty insane with what injuries he still lifted and how those top powerlifters train.

Also happy birthday Phyre!

Most people wanna get big and strong here, so i don't think there are many people who do that.

I'm mostly trying to get my vertical leap back, I'm still big a strong, just that I can barely dunk anymore, and just joined a league full of beasts.

A program like starting strength is probably still a lot better for that than insanity.

Alot of the exercises in insanity are similar to the ones from Air Alert I did when I was a teenager, I've gone from 23" to 29" so far, I was near 40" in high school. I used to have tendonitis in my left knee, I hope that I can get there without putting too much of a strain.

Yeah my girlfriend does it and loves it. She's done P90X, insanity, and asylum. Now is on some p90x/insanity hybrid program. She's cut! But for pure athleticism I wouldn't necessarily recommend that...

Plyometrics are killer man, but they pay off in a big way. 3 of us did the strength show thing and air alert from grades 8-12, all 3 of us got around 40" verts (we're 6'4 - 5'9). I miss those days as a gym rat where dunking was the only thing on earth that mattered.

If I remember correctly near the end of the cycle you're doing like 3000 jumps in one session.

Make sure you are sufficiently strong (e.g. can squat and deadlift 2x bodyweight) before doing any significant amount of plyometrics. Otherwise you may be putting yourself at injury risk.

Hit the gym today, got some good advice on my cleans and on how to get under the bar. If I were using the strength I have, I'd be cleaning more than I weigh... but I'm just too damn slow, and I'm really pulling the bar up, so I'm stuck at 175 lbs. Some guy there was snatching just under 100kg, it's the first time I've seen a proper snatch that wasn't on the internet.

It's a pretty impressive lift. I'd like to learn to do that some day.

Also @eshlow:
I don't see myself squatting 370 lbs in the next year - and a year from now I'll hopefully weigh more anyway. Does that really mean I shouldn't try plyometrics eventually, or just that I should be careful about them?

Phyre check out my post in the oly lifting thread and see if that helps you at all. And don't be a bitch, of course you can squat 370 by next year.

I should be squatting 440 by next year. But I should also weigh 220. I'm sure that will make a difference. I can see it being a possibility to squat that much... it depends on how often rugby practices end up being though. I only added half what I wanted to to my squat this fall, because I had practice every day and there was no way in hell I could squat after that. Also, I'll need to keep my sleep in check.

Should put on another 20 or 30 pounds over winter break though. Got a month to do it anyway... Starts friday, here we go!

Eshlow can you tell me why this is? Why must you be strong before doing a lot of plyometrics? I am curious.
