I’ts been awhile since I’ve done a few things. I haven’t been pulling at all lately. I’m taking more of a relaxed stance on these posts, simply to get something going. I had articles written up but nothing is really building momentum.
A good resource that I found for lifting weights the real way (Oly lifts and classical movements) can be found here. Dan John has written up a really good, easy to read, and most importantly FREE book called “From The Ground Up!”. This book has something for everyone. I highly recommend it. I’m trying a variation on his “rapid ascent” program which is extremely simple:
3 movements:
- Power Cleans
- Military Presses
- Front Squats
Bang through these movements going 3 sets at 8,6,4 reps. I believe it to be minimal rest from my interpretations of the text. Once you can complete out the reps add weight!
Simple and effective. Do it 3 times a week. It’s obviously simple and can have a lot of variation added to it and acts as a really good foundation.
As you all (all 0 readers of this site) have noticed from my previous posts that I never mentioned owning a barbell. Well, I still don’t. In the immortal words of someone I know,
When times are tight, you must do what’s right.
So I’m doing a variation of his workout with dumbbells. I really need to get that going just to get something going.
