My gym actually has a sled. Do I just do push/pulls for time or distance? What would you suggest?

Basically. 2 options I like: do sprints for time OR load it up and push/pull for an extended amount of time like 5-10 minutes. Sprints absolutely kill me. I really like just pulling the sled for 10 minutes at a time. Super cardio.

Damn it you snagged the 1000th post on this thread and did it talking about cardio! That's a cardinal sin!

So just so you guys are aware if you didn't know but if you do squats, bench, deadlifts, OHP and powercleans in one day with high intensity and volume and aren't on cycle you feel it for the filling few days like a frieght train keeps hitting you I might have overstrained a tad bit last session

Try testing your 5RM on squats, bench press, deadlifts, and OHP ALL IN THE SAME DAY and all done about 1-1.5wks after a PL meet. Want to take a guess as to who did that?

True. Can't do all that with a lit Newport.

Sorry to steal the glory from you, bro. It wasn't technically about cardio... still talking about moving heavy stuff!

VVVVVV

Lol, I do, and have been doing for a long time, many squats and variations. It's my single favorite lift by far.

Post number 1K In this thread. Take that you fat, ugly, bearded powerlifters!!!

 

[bhog]

That's a pure win for me. Haha I cracked the case.
I guess WereBear just wanted to be mean to the beard.

That's what I thought you were implying. Just making sure.
For the record, I am a huge dumbass for a multitude of reasons unrelated to this.

So Im really digging the front squats. Im squatting 3 times a week and I used them for 2 days this week. Right now Im only at about 60 - 70% of my back squat weight, but theyre easier on my back and seem to be activating some neglected quad muscles. Plus I think it just looks a little bad ass. Everyone looks at you when youre doing them.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

I've been digging them lately, too. I just wish I could get back my mobility where I could use the catch position again instead of crossed arms.

Also, I lol'd at the paid too much for car insurance comment in that other thread.

You and me both. Ive been trying to stretch more, but im not close yet. I dont mind the cross arm, but when I get above 200 it starts wearing on my shoulders.

I don't mind it too much, it's just after using the other it doesn't feel as good. I can do catch now, but I'll end up with just one or two fingers on the bar after a few reps and it feels really unstable.

There's supposedly some carryover to deadlift off the floor strength with them, but I can't really confirm that.

Ill have to see if it helps my DL after a few weeks. I had been doing rack pulls for the last month or so, and I like it as an exercise, but I wasnt seeing any significant raises in my DL because of it.
