What kind of program are you training with now, DOMS?

And keep up the hard work with the chin ups, progressing with them can be discouraging at times but you can improve them.

It's called the Waterbury Method. I purchased his books, and chose this one because it's suppose to help with hypertrophy. Which is has.

Thanks, fufu!

Good work getting some cardio in just make sure you constantly progress brother D! Squats looking very good to that in itself is a unique kind of endurance.

SamEaston · 11-28-2007, 02:30 PM

My god man! 10 sets of Squats?? That's amazing - i'd be lucky to drag my ass anywhere after that. Fantastic

Waterbury Method eh? Sounds interesting

Will be good to see how you've improved when you're done - nice work!

Holy Squatolies! Nice job!

goob · 11-28-2007, 03:45 PM

Wowser!!! Crazy ass squats in here! Only one explination. I must have strayed into DOMS journal, no-one else is mad enough to do 10 sets......

cool cool. I saw that at the beginning of your journal but I didn't know if you had changed since you started it. Congrats on the success, looks different from most stuff I have seen.

Thanks, Brutus! Running that in weather is all about endurance.

Thanks, Sam! Not only did I drag my ass, but I ran. And I ran today, too.

You and me both. The 5x5 gave me strength, the HIT gave me fat loss, and the WBM has put size on.

This is very different from anything I've done. It really has packed the size on.

**DOMS** · 11-28-2007, 08:31 PM

I jogged for 1.5 miles tonight. I didn't time how much I spent actually jogging.

Weather.com says:
27°F (-3°C for you metric people)
Feels Like
19°F

Owie...

Please - if you could, that would be great!

I need to increase strength for a strength competition in March (just a wee one on EB.com, nothing major!), so i was going to go for 12 weeks at 5x5, followed by a stint at something else. I reckon this Waterbury Method might be just the ticket, but im guessing you couldn't really do it for 12 weeks right? I mean, that's just crazy

Oh - and jogging outside in that temperature can't be good for you. I remember rowing on a loch in Glasgow in the winter the day before it froze over. We had to stop every 5 mins so i could blow my nose and every 10 mins so we could take our hands off the blades and stick them up our jumpers to warm them up! Madness!

Here are the pages.

Let me know how the 5x5 works for you. And, if you do the WBM, how that works for you.

Yeah, running in sub-freezing temperates is rough, but I kind of like it. Plus, it proves (to myself) my commitment to cardio. And I've sucked ass at cardio in the past.

After doing heavy squats and two days of running, I thought that I'd developed shin splits. It turns out that I destroyed (in a good way) my tibialis anterior muscles. These are the muscles that sit just to the outside of the shin bone (tibia). It feels like I've never really worked them before. Good stuff!

I know exactly what you mean about the shin confusion. I get the same thing when I start running for the first time after a lay-off. I've actually had shin splints in the past, so I'm extra careful.

You are a star - thank you very much. I'm going to settle in for the night and read these pages!

I just finished my first 5x5 program about a month ago, and i saw great results with it. In fact, i am planning to start another one just after Xmas, then i can re-evaluate where i am and what still needs to be done to get me looking better!

I will definitely give this a go at some point - just trying new things makes me really excited about going to the gym!

Thanks again DOMS

Oh and i know what you mean about the shin thingy. Hurts like a bitch!

Shin splints are a bitch. Such an annoying injury, but can be avoided by stetching your legs well beforehand. If I don't stretch before a run, I feel their onset pretty quickly.

You know i got them before i started using arch supports when i went running so maybe you should buy some and try em out.

I found a solution that works really well for me.

Stop running

Witchblade · 12-01-2007, 07:36 AM

Stretching, proper shoes, proper warm-up, progressive resistance, softer underground. The usual.
