@laddersdoorskeys 2-3 days a week? Do a tough back squat day and a tough deadlift day. These lifts make you strong, so if you want to get strong, do them routinely. Then, do some accessory work focused mainly on strengthening your entire back and posterior chain. Rows are good. Good...

@laddersdoorskeys If you're simply interested in getting stronger, nearly any strength program with healthy dose of squats, deadlifts and presses will do it. Strength training is actually very simple. It is not easy, but it is very simple. Any 5x5 or 5/3/1 or something like that will work...

@jaylgee1 This is bad. Wow! I watched the video repeatedly. I read the camera comments, and tried to watch as closely as I could to make a judgment. After watching closely, I think these scores are illegitimate and should not count. I cannot give any credibility to the camera comment...

@jcevin HQ doesn't pay for anything like transportation etc. However, it's not exploitation. None of us are coerced into competing. The NCAA is a de facto minor league for football and basketball, and they use this as leverage to coerce athletes into accepting their shitty terms in order...

@jrbert91 Thanks for the links! Much appreciated.

@spinny I think - but I'm not 100% sure - that the decathlon awards points based on absolute performance. For example, if a decathlete long jumps 24' 11", he gets ABC points. If a better long jumper gets 25 feet or 29 feet, they both beat the 24' 11" guy. But a 29' jump will get more...

@spinny Wow, thanks for the hard work. I played around with a system whereby a mean and std dev were calculated for an event, and then a score was awarded based on an athlete's std dev in that event. The purpose of this was to capture the impact of exceptional performances (in either...
