I absolutely love it, and obviously want to progress myself as far as possible. I want to develop a powerful bridge and shrimp to assist with my sweeps and escapes. Firstly, I train BJJ 2-3 times a week depending on work, so I get opportunities to practice my bridging etc. a fair bit in the practice. However, I would like to add some real bad ass power and explosiveness to my bridging ...

I'm thinking now of going back to my ME routine for several reasons; 1. want to add some strength 2. want to add some muscle 3. in approx. 6 weeks I'm not going to have access to the resources I have now What do you guys think? I got pretty good results for fat loss last time, though I didn't measure it like I am now.

With a situation like this writing a massively complicated program is a waste of time, you might as well write it on toilet paper for all the use it'll be in the real world. Sometimes you have to strip it all back and get to the basics. We have done a strength block and set an aerobic base, and we're now in an anaerobic ...

His basic plan was to go in 2-3 times a week and hit it as heavy as possible, but progress was slow at best. He'd gone from 85k to around 95 in about 6 months but was looking to break the 100 barrier, trying a few times but being stapled every time. I'd given him some basic form tips which had helped a bit and since he was responsive to this I decided to knock up something to help the bench press. Bear ...

When I've had this before I was treated by a gym physio who used this prior to massaging all the forearm muscles as well as bi's and tri's.

Now obviously I can't self massage to the extent that the physio did but I am toying with the idea of getting a TENS to try and ease things.

Anybody else had experience of using a TENS machine for this ?]]> Weight Training Mon, 27 Oct 2008 15:39:41 GMT http://absolutegold.forumotion.com/weight-training-f1/tens-unit-to-treat-tendonitis-t76.htm#1271 http://absolutegold.forumotion.com/weight-training-f1/tens-unit-to-treat-tendonitis-t76.htm http://absolutegold.forumotion.com/weight-training-f1/upper-body-warm-ups-t72.htm Sarah Dewar

How do volume, intensity and frequency of training affect things? Which exercises place the most stress on the nervous system?

What are the most effective methods of calming the nervous system?]]> Weight Training Sun, 31 Aug 2008 13:04:04 GMT http://absolutegold.forumotion.com/weight-training-f1/cns-stress-t67.htm#1085 http://absolutegold.forumotion.com/weight-training-f1/cns-stress-t67.htm http://absolutegold.forumotion.com/weight-training-f1/winging-scapula-t68.htm Alomonger Pete

I originally had a programme done by Alex a while back, and had absolutely fantastic results. I have now moved area, and for the next few months I am not going to be able to afford a gym membership along side my training fees.

The resistance bands are similar to Iron Woody, Jumpstretch - flex band type basically, very similar to Iron Woody...like maybe made in the same factory similar ;-) . The tubing is standard exercise tubing, although the handles are very high spec on these and nicely padded. The bands would be better for the heavy stuff and the tubing for light resistance, resisted punching, shoulder rehab and the like. Of course, sleds are still ...

The topic is that training can keep you healthy or mess you up! Sensible training might keep you healthy, but not what I've done in the past. 2.5 years ago was when this problem started [chronic fatigue syndrome], and I still haven't got close to 100%!

Is it possible to strengthen or bulk up your wrists? Since starting the programme you designed me, I have had the best gains I have ever had performance and physique wise. Whilst my performance in competition and training has increased massively, my wrists seem to be a weak link in the chain.

Any suggestions?]]> Weight Training Tue, 08 Apr 2008 20:23:35 GMT http://absolutegold.forumotion.com/weight-training-f1/wrist-training-t30.htm#86 http://absolutegold.forumotion.com/weight-training-f1/wrist-training-t30.htm http://absolutegold.forumotion.com/weight-training-f1/welcome-t2.htm Alex Gold
