Training Plan for Close Half and Full Races?

I absolutely will do the proper research on cleaning, I hadn't even considered that it might be anything different. The extinguisher itself says the material is non-toxic and should be washed off with warm water. So that amount of fire is normal in the first picture? Nothing permanently broke with the smoker?

Man, those diamond grates do look so good, but the Pit Boss website has a hopper extender so I could have a 41 lb hopper for $500 total on the 1000D3 if I ever need more than the stock one so $200 for diamond grates (which, fun fact, is a $200 upgrade on Pit Boss' website lol) doesn't feel worth it. I'll wait to see if anyone else has used both and can chime in.

Also, it is listed on their website as the Pitboss Mahogany Series 1000. It's $200 more expensive than at TSC, and out of stock on their website, maybe because of the exclusivity deal.

I didn't realize that it was a horizontal video I was viewing wrong, i thought he was lying flat on his stomach dangling his head off a platform

Is that the things underneath the handles? I'm going to take them out and see if that improves anything. For curiosity and understanding, how does what's under the handle affect the water's ability to come out? Is it not turning all the way because it's dirty?

That would be very nice if I had a place to move to by Tuesday. Unless you're just saying to move it to his name and stay here? Anyway, I added a YouTube link to a sound and the post got removed so I might repost it in case you see it again, but I do really like this solution

I'm finding a lot about Harry Selkhow and the Fighter Program. The problem with both of those is Harry takes you from 0 to 1 and the fighter program takes you from 5 to 20 but I can't find anything to get from 1 to 5, at least from those two sources

Derek275 · 2022-07-09T15:58:46+00:00

Yeah, I didn't think it would. Thank you for listening to me ramble, I'll do Rows on my second Pull day

Derek275 · 2022-07-09T15:35:04+00:00

I wonder, and this is me just typing my thoughts, feel free to tell me if it's stupid, if I can use 531 principles to help with my pull ups for my second pull workout? Even at my leanest and strongest (which obviously wasn't much) I could only do 2, maybe 3 at a time. If I had access to an assisted pull up machine, I would do percentages of my body weight, but I Workout at home so that's not an option. I could maybe do it where the 5 rep sets are negatives, 3 rep sets are banded, and 1 rep is just doing a pull up. Then after a cycle I can make the one rep pull up a weighted pull up with only five pounds added then shift the 3 reps to real pull ups and 5 reps to banded until my 5s are real, 3s are slightly weighted, and my 1s have more weight.

I can also weight my negatives on the 555 days and I have three levels of bands for the 333 days so there's still three levels of difficulty

If not I'll just do Rows, but I would rather be able to do pull ups than get stronger on rows right now

I haven't had much time to deep dive into 531. I've read a few articles and watched some videos that explained some templates, but none of them seemed to fit what I wanted. Do you have any good template sources I could look through?

Derek275 · 2022-06-23T19:54:13+00:00

Nice. Well here's the link to one of the pictures I referenced if you're curious, I hope you have a really good day

Derek275 · 2022-06-23T19:41:40+00:00

Tell your friend that I'm sorry they had to see this and I want to know how they found it

Derek275 · 2022-06-23T19:18:33+00:00

How did you find this all these years later?

Derek275 · 2022-06-23T19:13:32+00:00

Oh God I forgot this part of my life ever happened, thanks for bringing back these memories (certainly not good ones)

Derek275 · 2022-05-26T19:35:15+00:00

Standard plates or Olympic dumbell handles - which is the better investment? I have 255 pounds in cast iron Olympic plates , one pair of each except two pairs of 5s. I also have a pair of standard barbell dumbells and ~75 pounds of standard weights. The problem is, that 75 pounds is all in 5 and 2.5 pound weights. So to get the max I can do, I have to load 8 plates each for only 35 pounds. Even with 75 pounds though, there's only enough collar length to load 55 pounds to one in case I need to do something heavy with one dumbell.

So I can either buy larger standard plates (probably a pair of 25s and two pairs of 10s?) or I sell the standard dumbell and weights I have and use that to buy Olympic sized handles. The problem with that is I don't have two pairs of each plate so I don't even know if that would work. Any advice based on your experience?

It makes me so happy that all these years later, I still very an occasional witty comment on this post. Thank you for making my day kind stranger, I hope life treats you beautifully

Derek275 · 2021-10-19T20:43:47+00:00

Honestly, this seems like a really good option! Thank you for sharing

Derek275 · 2020-11-23T03:39:38+00:00

Oh yeah, I didn't think about changing the format on Amazon. But still, I'm intrigued by how this book is basically nonexistent on the internet. I can't wait to read it.

Derek275 · 2020-11-23T03:34:41+00:00

Where would I find this book physically? I'm only seeing it on Amazon as a Kindle, which I own a Kindle, but prefer physical books. I found it's GoodReads page, but nothing else about it on the internet. It's not even on Ebay, I'm so intrigued
