Thanks alot man for the encouragement. I've recently started using a rubber cord which attaches to each ankle and makes things like step ups and stairs verychallenging, even with no weight. I know ill find creative ways to get faster, willpower is the most important aspect.

Alright guys, it's finally happened. After almost two years of following rippetoe's strength program, it seems it has finally come to an end for me. Just a few weeks ago, squatting 315 on a normal progression, I felt something wrong in my butt, a sharp pain when extending my leg up. Well...

the track season has come to an end and here were my personal bests by the end: 100m: 11.2 200m: 24.0 and my jumps didn't improve at all from last year. I think I'm going to focus on running to get into college, but my 200 hasn't really gotten better much. What's a good distance to practice at...

thanks for the responses guys. as i'm starting to run alot more, I'm starting to develp knee and shin pains (also it doesn't help that my outdoor track is almost as hard as concrete). does this eventually clear away as my legs get used to running longer distances?

Spring is coming and that means track season, which means time to start cutting down on weight/body fat. Currently at 5'10'' 170 lbs 3x5 bench 165 3x5 squat 310 1x5 deadlift 330 3x5 power clean 145 3x10 shoulder press 110. what is the best way to cut body fat (dietary wise) and during track...

Alright, deloading seems like a good idea, I'll drop down to 260 or something. as for gaining weight, I do eat a lot, but I'm wondering what a "perfect weight", if there is such a thing, for a 5'9'' sprinter would be, because there definitely is a limit where excessive muscle is simply a...

Hey guys, I havent been here in a while, just checking up for rate my lifts and some advice... Ive been stalled on deadlift for about 2 weeks. I do Rippletoe's starting strength, with pullups over cleans (not confident on doing those by myself). I'm 5'9'' and 155 lbs Squats: 225 3x5 Overhead...

so when is this round ending?

this might be a dumb question but how come there hasn't been a round 5 OU suspect vote/nomination thread when the round ended like 2 weeks ago?

hey thanks nice guide, any chance of doing something similar for lvl 50 (yeah it would take a lot of time...) or at least comparing the difficulty of lvl 50 and lvl 100? edit: just caught the line in the opening paragraph concerning this... still lvl 50 is interesting to compare once you get...

Darthenos, while max hp/def is good in some cases, for latias, who takes pride in her speed, it probably wouldn't be very effective. PS Soldier I'll try substitute, I've seen it mentioned as successful in other RMT's. Also SD gliscor is much better than the subprotect set, I'll change that...

Thanks man, I was thinking about Night Slash and it seems like a good idea. Mainly, it does 40-47.5% to standard jirachi which means with some prior damage, a 2HKO.

Hello everybody, my one main goal in competitive battling is, like most people, to create a top team - to get fame and recognition, and to be able to be a distinguished suspect qualifier. Actually, mainly just the latter. But still, fame and recognition wouldn't hurt. Anyways, ever since the...

where are the nomination threads for suspect testing? Or are they not available to non-badge members?

another meet... First time running the 400, god that race is hell. 56.9 which isn't too good, alright for my first time I guess. Also another PR in the triple, 38'9''. Triple's turning into my favorite event, it's a lot of fun and less pressure than races.

The conditions were awesome so a lot of PR's were broken. Personally I got 11.8 in the 100 and 37' flat in the triple, though there was a slight tailwind in the hundred. I'm kind of happy, but in terms of the standings I didn't place too well. I'm thinking of not lifting anymore for the rest of...

haha well maybe it was too much weight... embarrassing because it's only 120. But still I have much better lower body than upper. I'm gonna move back down to get the technique, or maybe it was just a bad day or something. Anyway thanks for the help

I don't pretend to be an expert on sprinting, but I have pretty good form, I'm mainly too slow (for now) because I'm not big enough. Anyway, a lot of people have problems on their upper body, which can be seen in how their head moves when they run. Your arms (forearms) should always stay about...

Hey guys. Even though it's mid-season for track I'm still trying to lift a little because I'm small for my league. Overall, my bench is probably my weakest lift, last weak I barely managed 5x5 at 120 and yesterday I only managed 3 complete sets. The main problem I'm feeling is that, well, I...

While I agree the speed is debatable, it helps in the off chance that a CB scizor can finish you off and, at +4 or +6, BP/Bug bite will be doing a lot to everything. keep in mind how easy it is to get to +4/+6 with so many set-up opportunities
