http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson68.htm That's a decent article on boxing basics. I would recommend that you check out www.crossfit.com for building a cross-functional foundation of power, strength, and aerobic and anaerobic endurance. Full-contact twists...

Hah.

Xarhx, it's really nothing. I read the eBook. Jreps are nothing more than 12 quick mini-reps on the hardest half of the motion followed immediately by 12 more on the easier half of the motion. The other alternative Johnston gives is to divide the motion into 3x8 mini reps, with the progression...

Xtreme, how are they different from the description given on the bodyrecomposition thread?

Like others have said, if it's so good, why haven't people been willing to share it with others free of charge? When in past threads people have pressed J-rep converts to give some info, they've invariably returned with a vague sales rap like "it's a low volume, high contraction program...

I stand corrected. In the results thread people often reported the most growth in the 10s and some slowing down of gains in 5s, but it goes to show that randomly observed anecdotal evidence isn't enough. I tested my 12 rep maxes, not 9s. Since I'm lifting 6x a week, what if the microcycles...

I just finished my first microcycle of 15s. I'm aware that for my first mesocycle I -should- be sticking to plain vanilla HST (15-10-5, 3x a week, etc.), but I am stubborn and will invariably customize everything :D I chose 15-12-9 because it appears that the most growth is noticed in the...

Yes. X-Factor may have success stories, but its costs may far outweigh the benefits. According to the commonly available information, -current- inflammatory diseases are contraindicated with AA. But only three days into X-Factor did I notice a temporary recurrance of epididymitis that I hadn't...

I doubt that fat gain will be a problem, being that this is my first cycle of HST and I'm lifting 6x a week. I look forward to posting to the results thread :D

Domineaux, I hear you. It's easy to get caught up in the theory and when instead you should be acting, testing, doing trial and error the real way. You get out and DO if you want progress. In my defense, though, I push myself really dang hard every workout, and always have. I maybe arrogantly...

So, I went to the personal trainer again today and apparently I overestimated my bf%. I'm at 12.9% now, so I could have answered my question just by doing that. I'll keep bulking till February or March. Thanks for all the help guys

Good point, Conciliator. Some twenty minutes after I had made my last post I read about the misconception of spot reduction. Like you said, either bulk and deal with the fat, or cut and deal with not growing. I am, however, pretty new to lifting. When I said "lifting on and off" for...

Sup Antonio. ON 100% Whey constipates me, and N-Large gives me the shits. Maybe the two will work like a checks and balances system, hahah.

Yeah. If it were February now then I would have no doubt about cutting. If waist growth is the only problem I have with bulking, what would you guys recommend to offset that? Very high volume, high rep, low weight oblique and ab work every other day? Incorporate 40 min. incline treadmill on off...

Thanks man. :)
