@Petri Aspvik my problem with Reg Parks programme and in fact any similar routine is that it is designed for/by the genetic freak able to grow by looking at weights whilst eating everything in sight and sleeping or resting all day .Look into the writings of a guy called Stuart McRobert he was one of the first to present practical programmes that actually worked .Now if like most of us here your looking for more strength target your routine to block Periodization using lower than normal sets and longer cycles , at the moment I use 13 weeks which is a perfect place to start .Its old school but guaranteed to get you stronger . Check out these links which may help . A Practical Guide for Implementing Block Periodization for Powerlifting T NATION | Atlas Speaks

I'm talking about higher (10) reps at the start of your training cycle , this allows you to recover from your last training cycle and become proficient at the movement i.e. improve your technique with a weight in all probability you could handle for say 13 or so reps .

@rich dude c'mon man you know the drill by now .

Hi Tika , by any chance could we see your Ivan Szazi tattoo its not everyday I get to see his work.

Its not really your business what someone does after your appointment , however most of the ladies I know would be slightly stoked by that , then again I'm old and live in England .

@Petri Aspvik Personally I'd rather see you do two days ( 3 when you can bench) with Squat , Deadlift and Bench or an alternative being on separate days .That is train each muscle once a week lower your number of working sets and cycle your rep range within a traditional format.

@Petri Aspvik does that mean you plan to train 3 x per week ?

I think one of the most endearing features of this site is the ability of members to mix knowledge with a sense of humour .

@Ursula Could it be Phil Szlosek hes guesting in N.Y. at the moment .

RoryQ- I get all my protein in the form of food , I'd rather use whole quality sources and not count grams or use protein shakes . For my cooked breakfast option I like 3 whole eggs or I have Pancakes, well worth finding the coconut ingredients for: Ingredients 2 eggs 2 tablespoons organic coconut oil or butter , melted 3 tablespoons coconut milk or whole milk 1 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons of sifted organic coconut flour 1/4 teaspoon baking powder Method. Blend together the eggs, oil, coconut milk, sugar and salt. Combine the coconut flour with the baking powder and thoroughly mix into batter. Batter will be thick, make pancakes about 3 inches in diameter in a hot frying pan. Can serve with honey or fruit. Also I think it best to stick to the one main carb source and adjust it accordingly , at the moment I'm on the sweet potato / potato ride , and I think you could also up your carbs .

Hey Kev , Giving your diet more consideration a hard training person like yourself needs a more substantial breakfast . I know it kinda sounds old-fashioned but you need to at least have your eggs in the morning (most guys I know would also have a bowl of oats also ) . Supplements can never replace food , one of the very best pros said " If I only have 20 dollars in my wallet and its a choice between supplements or steak , steak wins " . More than one sponsored athlete sold his endorsed products for food also I think you need more carbs pre-training . Back to the issue of breakfast I have an awesome Paleo pancake concoction that I also rotate with my cooked breakfast , say the word and i'll pass it on .

When you click on the N.Y. Adorned site the immediate image for the tattooing side always impressed me , close up of lots of small stuff .

Ha , ha hindsight is 20/20 vision .I'm chalking it up to the hot weather we're having .

I found a good article on squatting technique particulary spreading the floor , I will quote some of the memorable pieces as I jotted them down . - Sit back in the descent "back, back, back" . We sit back like we are looking for the toilet in the dark .We know its there and we will just push back until we find it . -Just before the "sweet spot" you will feel your legs fall in , thats the cue to push out .It will happen before you need to turn around . Push out at the knees and turn the squat around when you know you've hit depth . -The "spread the floor "part comes from after you've turned the squat around . How much depends on how far the feet are spread . - Push back , out and apart .

Shawn sir you're such a cad , at the heart of the matter is what you nonchalantly described on O.V. as your "sloppy thumbnail " . The folks here at LST , well aware of your prowess with the pencil know that was the spring board for a great tattoo and the kind of thing to send the boys at Skull and Sword scurrying for the local job-center .
