Hope all goes well for your lady too. (And...

    Recovery From Surgery (appendectomy)

    Got a paused HBBS at 140kg the other night which is a PR for this kind of squat. I've been doing paused squats for the past few months to improve my bottom position in the snatch and c&j. I use the load to push me down as far as possible and focus on getting a big stretch in my hips and ankles...

    All the very best for a speedy recovery, mate. Frustrating as anything, I know. A friend of mine nearly popped his clogs when his appendix suddenly ruptured so thank goodness you are still here to fight again another day. You will be back at it before too long.

    Recovery From Surgery (appendectomy)

    Personally, I'd do a load of bodyweight stuff and just be careful. Unless you are competing at a high level (which I doubt because otherwise your coaches would be advising you) there's no need to rush to get back to heavy lifting. Strength and size will come back soon enough once you have...

    Pantadeas - Hst

    All the best with your muscle-up goal. When you do your pull-ups, try to bring your elbows back and down as far as possible so that you are doing more of a chest to bar pull-up. This is really hard to begin with so you probably won't manage it for all reps but try on the first few when you are...

    Bryan, What Are Your Thoughts On Higher Frequency Training?

    While I do believe that there is always a minimum volume required to elicit a hypertrophic response (which is dependent on the conditioning to exercise of the muscle tissue at the time), I'm fairly sure that DOMS is not a reliable indicator that this minimum has been reached. I can do a 100 air...

    Bryan, What Are Your Thoughts On Higher Frequency Training?

    How would RBE fit into your understanding? What do you think is going on? Is it something to do with connective tissue/extracellular matrix/other stuff? If it is true that the sensitivity of the muscle tissue to a specific load is reduced through regular bouts of training with that load, then...

    21/07/17 General update Bodyweight is currently around 82kg. Am dealing with a few annoying niggles. Still have a numb top of left thumb and part of the back of my hand. There's some pain and constant pins and needles too, depending on what I'm doing. That's generally a nuisance in everyday...

    Bryan, What Are Your Thoughts On Higher Frequency Training?

    @NWlifter: thank you for your interesting input. I appreciate that the tension on an individual muscle fibre is not dependent on the load applied to the system as a whole but are you saying that, in your opinion, it's not really relevant to be concerned with triggering (what I understood to be)...
