Let me get this straight. Rip punted to a guy who knows his shit, but you got no suitable response. Feeling rejected and dejected, you came here. Rest assured my friend you came to the right place. We're the best of the best. A virtual cornucopia of training knowledges, especially me. I'm real good. The best. How do you think these other guy's got good? That's right, they listened to me. And if you was smart, you'd listen to me too. What I am going to say may come off as crass, but you've got broad shoulders and you're gonna take it and like it. Got that? Good.

The Texas Method is for REAL men who want to get BIG and STRONG. It is not for Fancy Boys who are worried about body fat, or their waist size. You wanna be a Metro Sexual, go buy a head band, leotards, Heavy Hands and GTFO. We're real men here, that's right, that's what I said. Look your 6'-1" and 265lb, with what I would term marginal strength at best. I myself started out at 4'-7" and weighed 110 soaking wet. Rode linear progression straight up, did GOMAD and ate like a fucking pig. My life consisted of lifting, eating, shitting and an occasional charity hummer that was thrown my way by some bimbo who wanted to see what type of weapon I was sportin', if you know what I mean. Anyway's, when linear progression ended, I was 4'-6" and 270lb. I lost an inch from spinal compression due to the 500lb squats I was performing for reps. But all that mattered was I was getting BIG and lifting BIG. Yeah I'm short, but I don't take no shit from nobody. You know what I'm saying tough guy? Anyways, then I started Texas Method, which was intense. I ate even more for fear of not recovering from the grueling workouts. I was eating close to 10k calories. I couldn't even sleep at this point because all I was doin' was shitting during the night. Then while I was up I got hungry, so I woke my hoochie momma up and made her cook me a meal to get more calories. Yeah she bitched sometimes, but I told her if she ever wanted me to deliver the goods, she better get her ass otta bed. That lit a fire under her ass let me tell you. Hehe. She knows what a prize she's got in me. Anyways, then I'd hit the gym and the cycle would repeat itself. What I didn't do was prance around like panty waist and worry about getting fat, wondering how many grams of protein I was getting', or what type of carbs I was ingesting. I just wanted to get BIG and STRONG. I used TM for approximately 2 years. At the end of it I was 4'-5 1/4" and 332lb, squating 7 bills and benching a little over 5 wheels. Deadlifts were quasi partials due to my height, but I still managed to pull in the high 7's. You have a problem with me only being able to do partials? I didn't think so. Most importantly I was BIG and STRONG. So if I was you, this is what I'd do. Train hard, there's no such thing as overtraining, only under eating. If all the food binds you up, laxative suppositories are your friend. Now pull yourself up by your thong and GET OUT THERE and TRAIN and EAT - TOUGH GUY!

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Shin Splints during plyo's
« on: July 13, 2012, 04:09:56 am »
We have been extremely successful with managing shin splints once I implemented heel walks for 40yds x 3 sets done 3 x a week.  

Couple that with ice/stretching the tib anterior/soleus/gastroc, and you will see good results.  Usually doesnt take long to notice improvement, and once youve healed keep the heel walks in as a workout finisher periodically to maintain lower leg health.  

 It really is that simple, dorsi flex your feet as high as you can, walk for 40 yds, rest, repeat. Alternating with toe walks is good for calf and achilles tendons as well, but even without them the heel walks are effective on their own.

Hey Lance, I tried the 40 yd heel walks/toe walks today at the end of my plyo workout.  Is it normal not to feel much burn in these?  

My shins were hurting again a lot, from my bounds (although my bounds were great today, definitely a PR), but after the heel walks they did feel better and werent hurting much during pick up ball later like it usually does.  Just curious, cause the heel walks themselves were rather easy and I didn't feel much.



nah, youre not doing them right if youre not feeling like your lower legs are on fire.  You have to dorsi flex your feet HARD, and keep them there the whole time.  Toes should be high in the air, and your walk will look stiff legged.  If you have a place that is soft enough ground, do them barefoot, that will help as well.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Long jump
« on: July 11, 2012, 11:15:42 pm »


Looks like  youre getting to top speed too early, and almost decelerating by the time you hit wood.  I would start slower with a more gradual build up, the second you reach your top speed should be very close to the board.  Reaching max v too early only wastes energy you need for the jump.

think :  0mph-----5mph---------10mph---------------20mph--jump

instead of:  0mp--15mph-----20mph----------------------------jump

Both will probably cause/aggravate knee problems if anything.

^.  The fix is usually on the other side of the leg.

Hey Lance, 2 quick questions:

1)  Have you had experience with shin splints before?  They always start hurting during my SL bounds.  During sprints they don't hurt though.  They also hurt during basketball sometimes.  Is this something where I can just keep fighting through it and my body will eventually adapt?

2)  I started doing Natural GHR's at home, eccentrically, pushing off on the concentric, but I was wondering if I was doing it right.  I looked at many videos and did my own research but still confused.  Are you supposed to be able to work your glutes from these, or are natural GHR's just a purely hamstring workout?

As usual, thanks for the help.

re nghr: I dont like them nearly as much as ghr on a machine.  You are correct in that it is almost purely a hamstring exercise, and if youre on the floor youre punishing your patellas as well.   Ghr on a ghr bench is a glute/ham exercise, and you can progress it all the way to the point you would be doing a natural ghr, only without the knee cap getting smashed.   

 If someone has already extremely strong hamstrings, its possible to make the natural ghr a glute exercise as well, however that is very rare to see it happen.  Check adam archulettas training vid on youtube for example.

  Im only worried about you hurting yourself very seriously, what happened on that last drop was dangerous as hell man.  Youve got to learn to absorb some of that landing in your HIPS, and not your knees.  I would lower the height your landing from and post video until youre landing safely and efficiently, then progress the drop height.

  Sounds like a good plan, the only thing I would caution you of is using ONLY front squats for the lower body, especially with your build.  It very often ends up in knee issues, especially when switching from a more bent over style squat.  Push one glute/hamstring exercise up along with your front squat, and you can easily avoid these issues.

 If you dont have problems loading the front squat due to the rack position, and keep some solid hamstring work in your program, it can work very well as your primary knee dominant lift in your set up.

I was also surprised when Tim Hightower mentioned to me that the most of the strongest guys on the team "are not ones." Meaning they aren't the starters, but backups or 2nd or 3rd team guys.

 This is of course the case many times with athletic teams, the best athletes tend to be the genetically gifted elite and many of them do not have the same work ethic in the weight room of some of the less talented.  They "show" their strength in the weight room better, because they practice lifting weights more.

The guys who are the strongest, work very hard so that they can actually MAKE the 2nd and 3rd teams.  They make up for less gifts with raw work ethic and strength.  Had they not done this, they likely wouldnt be on anyones team to begin with.
