@sk213 Pavel’s background is different to the marketing claims, for sure.

@sk213 Waaaay back before anyone much in the US had heard of kettlebells there was a book publisher named John du Cane. He did a lot of obscure martial arts books for zany low interest Kung Fu mostly and internal arts like Chi Gung. It didn't make much money and he drove a limo part-time to make...

@lois2013 I distributed DD bells in Australia before and after the split. I've still got my originals from my first ever shipment from 12kg to 32kg in pairs for my home gym. Apart from being a bit dusty they're still almost brand new. (The 24s have definitely had the snot beaten out of them)...

@monstershouter I didn't even know there was a L3 as I left teaching for them in 2015. I can name a bunch of other things that were never correct though and proven wrong, but never removed from manuals. One of the big standouts I remember is a quote about a study on cardiac muscle and playing it...

@seekingsalvation9867 LOL no. He has written that he did one once, but in typical Dan John "don't let the truth get in the way of a good story" that's fabricated. The furthest he has ever run is to the front of the buffet line (have literally seen him do this at an event).

@victoryj Most people haven't as it doesn't align with what they hope to be correct. They hope they don't need to watch what they eat to get in shape - false. They hope they can just use one tool to get in shape - false. They hope they can just lift weights and get all the health and...

@aondia LOLOLOL. Again, go look at Kipchoge. Does he look like he has a double bw DL? That myth needs to fuck off and die finally. The amount of misquoting he does of Cerutty is equally as bad as most of his other stolen material. He takes a single sentence from an entire book and uses it to...

@aondia MTNtactical have what you're after.

@victoryj Time to get out from the stone ages... Here is an abstract - https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jjphysiol/54/5/54_5_471/_article There is a book written by Dr Kenneth Jay that goes into this called Cardio Code. Here's the review I wrote nearly 10 years ago about his book...

@aondia Your plateau from endurance work isn't from not being strong enough, it's far more likely from being too big. Go have a look at Kipchoge and see if he looks like he needs to be stronger to run faster? Or, better yet, at about the same as you is David Goggins. Do you look like him? If...

@brownie No. It's not the same, and no, you can't use it for the same effect. I can't believe people still think this is true. Look, when muscle is tensed beyond 50% blood flow is occluded. That means blood doesn't flow through the muscle as muscular tension is too high. No blood flow means...

@coma123 I'm not confused at all. GAS says you place adequate stress on a system and it improves. Too much makes it worse, not enough does nothing. As strength is a general quality any strength stress will help the display of strength in any other form. SAID says that you only get good...

@premier3092 There are 3 main programming variables: Intensity (how much weight is lifted as a percentage of 1RM), volume (how many times you lift that weight), and density (how many reps you get in a given time frame). Clearly, in most strength training, you're constantly changing volume...

@johnaudrey I've never been put down by a Brazilian communist before. Good luck with your training comrade.

@johnaudrey The idea that there is a workout or workouts that magically confer all elements of strength and conditioning needed to an individual playing a particular sport is a joke. Using BJJ as example, does the athlete: Need to gain bw because they're at the bottom of their weight class and...

@johnaudrey There's no such thing as a BJJ Plan. POV: I have trained 2x BJJ world champs, multiple ADCC competitors, Judo Olympians, and more BJJ black belts than I can even count.

@amandawithroses So you're telling me that if I train to get stronger, that I'll get stronger? Shocking. Sarcasm aside, the so called wth effect is better known as the General Adaptation Syndrome and it basically says that you get good at the things that you do. As strength is a general quality...
