    Hi birdy I do on occasion go above 100 reps to 200 but only once in a while. Once I reach 100 I always try and go up in weight until I reach my 100 goal again. I always do at least 3 sets maybe 5 again depends on the day.
    Thanks for the question and glad you liked the vid.

    Hey Scott I'll be working with clients tomorrow night until 9:30, but I'll send you the results of the homemade protein bars if you want to discuss them in the chat. If I'm back early enough I'll try and join in on the chat.

    Hey dude,

    Have I told you I got my new glasses on Friday ... sweet It's taken a few days to get 'used' to them again, but now I'm back to my geeky best

    Anyway, got a question ...

    Is there a way of putting an image with a link into a blog post? I wanted to put a pound link on my training log posts.

    Dude,

    I'm using my blog section to log my daily training ... If I link to it will the link always go to the most recent post, or will it go to a specific post (eg. If I put the link for today, will it keep going to June 19th or will it go to whatever the latest blog is?

    Cheers

    I could probably do that after I get back from Georgia next week. I'll start thinking about what I want to include.
  10. Yep, they haven't actually moved (so everyone's existing links are still fine). Their main source of traffic is actually google - people searching for specific things.

    I'll highlight them a bit more; in the meantime, if you're looking for a particular one, the easiest way is the archives page :

    http://www.straighttothebar.com/archives.html

    Alternately, just use the search box at the top of that same page.

    Also, all the new articles are in the 'articles and logs' section (link at top of each page). Anyone can now post an article at any time, and I highlight a few of the better ones.

A Brief History of Circuit Training and Peripheral Heart Action (PHA)

by birdy on 02-17-2010 at 06:50 PM

The first time I can remember hearing about circuit training was shortly after watching the Bruce Lee masterpiece, Enter the Dragon. Although Lee was well known for his muscular-yet-wiry physique, he certainly cranked things up a notch for this film.

More on the 'how' in a minute. First, a little history.

Circuit Training

Circuit training was first developed by R.E. Morgan and G.T. Anderson

Holding the bar in the Front Squat

by birdy on 05-28-2009 at 12:26 AM

If the latest Mike Boyle article on T-Nation has you considering the Front Squat, you may be mindful of just how awkward it can be to hold the bar. Like Zercher Squats, they're often overlooked simply due to the difficulty.

There are several ways to hold the bar for the Front Squat. If one method doesn't feel right, or your current flexibility or injury precludes it, try one of the others. It really is a great exercise.

The Rotater

by birdy on 05-27-2009 at 01:39 PM

The Rotater is a brilliant thing.

Following years of shoulder abuse and injury (particularly whilst experimenting during training for the OAC), I was more than a little keen to try out The Rotater. And I have to say, it easily exceeded expectations.

Rather than relive my own shoulder-training trials however, here are a couple of thoughts from my father, who has been using The Rotater for a few days now. As you'll
