Thinking about Kyles tips and I came accross the 10/8/6. A Look at the 10/8/6 Training System But I really couldnt find anything else about it... Experiences?

There are longer ones coming. Baxter and Ciferri did long as hell inserts.

Thanks guys. The biggest thanks should go to Crash and John, and of course the artists.

Read it man. Its not long :P We touch on the mental aspect but the weight is on physical stuff. And this is just the first one, plenty more to come.

In here you can ask for tips ;) http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/war-stories/1887-lifting-thread%3Btraining-tattooed-warrior.html

There are few artists still who I havent gotten back from when I send the reminder emails months back. If you read this, email me :) Who did get back to me, thanks!

I've been working on for a article series for TAM about tattoo artist and how they maintaing their health for quite some time now. It was originally going for the mag as a huge article, but its going for the blog now. The first one is up. Marcus Kuhn Health Issues With Tattooing (Marcus Kuhn) « TAM Blog More to come! ps. They asked for a profile pic, that was the only one I had around :D

Thanks Kyle!

Gotcha :) What if I do deads with the 5 and squat as 3x10?

I really dont like doing longer rep sets. Not in deadlifting atleast. Why do you recommend doing longer reps? I mean, if I di 5x5=25. If I do 3 x 8-12 = 24/27/30/33/36. Different means of course. But I like shorter reps :)

I was thinking of two days. One doing squat and deads, then another day doing just squat. Do you think doing the back extensions also is a good idea, or would it be overtraining? Meaning in both days... Maybe extensions and abs on the other?

T NATION | Reg Park's 5x5 Program

Anyone ever train with the Reg Park programs? The Real Arnold Schwarzenegger Beginner Programs I was thinking of trying (somewhat) after I finish this cycle, this one. Or with the same % I was thinking of trying for the fuck of it this one (minus the bench) but it might be just too HC Maybe not optimal way to traing, but...

I think all the great artists put as much in.

Someone mentioned Roberts blog. Anyone have the link? I only know the old blog.

Yeah. And I find it to be mentally better. Im my moms care taker and spent daily, give or take 18-20 hours with her. Still, the weekly (if it isnt rest week, which I also welcome as a part of training) deadlift etc. session is something that I cant wait. It gives me mental strenght by just imagining it. Go in, warm up, lift and leave. If I was doing 8-12 machines I would kill myself :D

Squat and leave! :D

Speaking of trust and gaining T NATION | Effective Training for Busy Men

Yeah, legends. I love this quote But in order to do so, you have to TRUST. Like obviously mister Carter has trusted the road paved by the likes of Coan. They did shit that works, so why not do it yourself! I guess it is the modern eras folly, wich I myself have been quilty off. Everyone wants to find the "perfect" program and they have to either a.) Find the so called best program at that moment. And when you look at modern training mags, they lack the so called best i.e simple and proven stuff. And they do it for two weeks and switch = gain nothing or b.) They have to follow the "best ideology" and make a training program themself, which in 99% of the time is shit. So it is about trust. The guys who came before me knew what worked. So ego should be put aside and trust in the simple and effective no bells and whistles programs, and gain by doing so. It is not a race about who has the coolest shit. Its about doing. Its about TRUST.

Killer article by Paul Carter! Just Train – by Paul Carter - JimWendler.com

He did give me few (somewhat similar as in your link), and I tried to do them. Didnt see any significant help. Or maybe I didnt do them correctly and I know I slacked...

Motherfucking Shawn! How good is that. Robert Ryan FTW! You cant teach a tattooer to tattoo Auras.

Fucking Jensen always stealing shit...

If the achilles tendon snaps, I think it rolls up the leg. Fucking gross...

Jeesus... Just imagining that hurts. And I also always start with a good warm up. For example: do rowing and crosstrainer, tven dynamic stretching and when deadlifting start with the bar and go up. If I press after that I again start with light and go up to heavier. But never gave I done rotator cuf stuff... Will do after this!
