THE RATIO TECHNIQUE BIG EXPERIMENT:
BLUE = current
RED = pending
GREEN = done
9 October 2010
PHASE 1 - Cycle 2 - Stim Workout
Bodyweight@session : ~196
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none
Stim : 1 redbull 30 mins before lifting
MSEM SQUATS ( rest between reps ~45sec , rest between sets ~4min ):
3x1 : 209 - 209 - 209
3x1 : 231 - 231 - 231
3x1 : 253 - 253 - 253
209 & 231 sub-parallel , 254 half-squats.
Focus on form+depth ( controlled descend + looking slightly down ). Very happy with the 231 sub-parallel set.
MSEM BSS ( at smith machine , rest between reps ~20sec , rest between sets ~3'' )
3x1@220
3x1@264 , ( 3-rep-PR , all time PR is 2x286 )
220 was insane , free leg touching ground , going up rather explosive , "light weight"!
264 was great too , good form & speed up.
SINGLE LEG STANDING CALVE RAISES:
1x5@110
1x5@132
1x5@154
1x5@176
Great workout , caffeine + taurine + MSEM FTW!
very nice man!!

I have heard of this guy before. Fucking badass.
I am so impressed by people who go out on their own to do things like this; I loved the movie Into the Wild.
I wonder what sort of psychological or philosophical changes people undergo as a result of these sorts of experiences. Especially people who are "sane" beforehand, not like that crazy fucker who swam the Amazon.

Pics, Videos, & Links / Re: squat form check
« on: October 05, 2010, 02:09:28 pm »Well you better believe it makes such a dramatic difference...
If you think about it, this takes away so much from your leg strength potential because you can't use a weight that's actually challenging for your leg strength. You use a weight that's challenging for your form, while the legs can cope with that weight with no problems whatsoever.
That's a lot of lost training stimulus.
That's a very interesting part , im not sure how exactly it goes.
So there's a huge deficit betwen smith and free squats , like 50lbs in the 6-rep range.
But how much of it is it because of the thin-olympic bar and how much because of the balance/help the smith machine gives?
Id like to hear what Andrew has to say about that...
Well, in most smith machines, the bar alone does not weigh 45lbs, I think it is usually closer to about 25lbs, so that accounts for a portion of the discrepancy.

1up'd.
Also, if Koklyaev does it, it is a legit training technique. Also, that's not an appeal to authority, because Koklyaev said it isn't an appeal to authority..

sounds kinda crazy, how many times have you used it? would be interested in trying it, but only after researching it a shitload to make sure it's safe.
Blast has talked about it in IRC before. A few of my friends used it before their last 2k test of the crew season, they all set quite impressive PBs.
