FastestGunAlive posted:I like 5/3/1, it’s simple for beginners but still effective for those who’ve been lifting a while. It’s also quick and there are some great spreadsheets out there that will tell you exactly what to lift each set and adjust to your progress. 5/3/1 is designed for experienced lifters, which is why it's still effective for those people. It may be a little slow for someone starting out, but it's also not particularly taxing, which makes it appealing for a cross-training routine.

Any recommendations for a kettlebell routine or kettlebell instructional youtube links? I have two KBs and I need to start using them instead of using them as paper weights.

 You guys got me all self-conscious about my lifts and I psyched myself out on my deadlift today. Was aiming for 2 reps on the top weight and couldn't get the second one up. This chat has made me decide to switch the routine up a bit after today, reducing weight and increasing reps a bit for a while.

heeebrew posted:Any recommendations for a kettlebell routine or kettlebell instructional youtube links? I have two KBs and I need to start using them instead of using them as paper weights. The basic recommendation is Simple and Sinister, which is what I'm doing. It's two movements, the swing and the get up, and it takes like 20 minutes per day. You graduate the program when you're doing ten sets of ten of one hand swings with 32kg and 5 reps each side get up with 32kg in a certain time. (the weight standard for women is different but I don't remember it). You don't worry about the time till you get to the 32 kg then you start getting the time tighter, so I actually don't remember the time limit for graduating the program. Weight is melting off of me (that's mostly diet) and I don't perceive any loss of strength. If you can stand Pavel's comunist superman gimmick (personally I loving love it) you can find the entire Enter the Kettlebell instructional DVD on youtube. If you'd prefer something more straightforward, find any link from StrongFirst or RKC, as those are the main kettlebell fitness organizations. Or, get an instructor certified by one of those organizations for like 2-3 classes to go over the movements. If you post form check's on reddit or whatever you'll basically get nothing decent from them. There's also another way to train kettlebells, which is the "sport style" but I don't know much about it. The movements are a bit "easier" because you use more of the bell's momentum to bring it back up, but in competition you do them for like, 10 loving minutes straight. Either the "fitness" style or the "sport" style should help with BJJ I'd think. Hellblazer187 fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Dec 2, 2019 |

Oh and if we're going to talk about basic barbell programs, I had more luck on they Greyskull LP than on SS. Honestly, any version of the basic linear progression will be fantastically helpful for someone new to weights.

I’ll second Pavel. When I first started getting into kb I grabbed several workouts from “funk Roberts” on YouTube but that was years ago so I don’t know how he is now. One of my go-to’s when I haven’t really planned anything or feel like getting elaborate is just a minute of jump rope followed by a minute of a kb exercise for however long I want the workout to be

I dunno if I've mentioned this before and it's sorta off topic to grappling specific lifting but I've founds the content of Athlean X's Youtube videos to be excellent. I've worked a lot of his stuff into my routines: https://www.youtube.com/user/JDCav24/videos He breaks everything down very well for a beginner to understand and some of the more advanced concepts make a lot of sense.

JaySB posted:Dead rows are your new best friend. Looked em up. Might try em out and replace the deads with them, though I wonder how useful the deadlift component could be with row weight. It looks like, on average, a 1rm row is like 60% of a deadlift, which means that if I'm doing multiple reps I'll be at like... 35% of my deadlift weight or something. That doesn't seem like much.

I always get ads for Wish.com that show women with huge asses in tights. I often wonder if they think I'm a woman with a huge rear end looking for tights, or if they just think "hey this will get his attention." (it does get my attention.

Welp. My entire team at my gym decided they weren't doing the tournament so now I have to decide if I want to go to a tournament 2+ hr bus ride away for potentially 2 matches in absolute as there are nobody else in my divisions. Think not going is a solid option due to how much of a ballache it'll be to get there without a car.

Might compete in a judo tournament this weekend. I like that it's low-effort for prep and I can just show up and dick around, but the fact that I'll be competing against provincial/national team hopefuls who are literally half my age is a downside. Also a bit of pressure not to look like a dingus now that I'm showing up wearing a black belt.

Some extremely well executed BJJ: https://www.instagram.com/p/B5nh4z1ph7Z/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Nothing is super exotic when you break it down: The sweep; the sit back; the rolling back take; the transition from back to armbar are all individually well known and common but it's all executed in such a wonderfully flowing manner.

Quick question for my white and blue friends here: Does anyone else feel like rolling with brown belts is absolutely the most demanding physically? Are all brown belts just loving obnoxiously strong? Is just this something that I'm experiencing? I feel like I can tell the difference between rolling with purple, brown, or black belts. And brown belts are by far the least pleasant.

As a brown belt, I feel like there's a lot of poo poo I'm still working on that requires me to go just a bit harder than the black belts, especially against the more game or larger guys. I'm also a 200 lb guy with decent lifts and heavy hips though so if you're smaller than that it's gonna feel like a ton of bricks. And then there's the 280 purple belt we have who can literally just grab my hands and put them wherever he wants, and is practically unchokable even in demos. There's levels.
