    Routine critique/advice

    Meanwhile back at the Ranch. The program you posted seems respectable, I have written 'Ben-Eiko-5-3-1' a slightly more simplistic version of what you are following that is a little bit more geared towards strength training. You can download a free copy HERE

    Should I do Starting Strength?

    Remember; Starting Strength is just that, it has a low volume, high frequency to get people moving and get their CNS working. I'm not going to put a time limit on it but it's not something I would leave any of my clients on for a great period of time.

    Education

    I would NOT recommend AIF or any other PT training organization. These courses are desgined to extort quick cash from your pocket and fail to deliver in critical areas. ASCA Is an option, Level 1 is pretty crap, Level 2 ask me in a few months. Sport Science/Human Movement Degree is a good...

    5/3/1 vs Sheiko

    Ben Cove published author on elitefts

    Thanks mate; means a lot to have the respect of my peers! You are correct, it's alarmingly easy to be published on EliteFTS. When I found out I was being published I checked the current author list and it's as long as a Texas Bar. Personally I would like to see the amount published cut down...

    Bulgarian method article on t-nation

    The Bulgarian era of training is nothing short of amazing. Ultimately when you cut through it all, the system was developed to further control the people during the rise and fall of communism. They did this by offering the rewards of travel and freedom of speech should you be able to survive...

    How to - tricep training, by Rippetoe

    Firas wrote a thing about this on Body Building dot come (teen section somewhere) and it went a little bit viral and got nasty. However, he mad some valid observations about frequency and movements etc Scott I do agree that Rippetoe is not a Power Lifter, hes just a random coach at a gym...

    How to - tricep training, by Rippetoe

    Scott have you read any of the Starting Strength books? He has a really good understanding of Bio Mechanics and his starting strength 'program' is actually pretty decent for noobie (<6month) lifters, due to it's simplistic nature. But you do need to take everything he says with a grain of salt...

    Are squats necessary for a bodybuilding competitor?

    First I started reading this for a LOL, then it degenerated in to a bitch fest about BBing V PLing (again). Meanwhile I am reminded why I don't bother reading forums unless I am beyond bored. /Death of AusBB

    more on high the benefits of high intensity/volume training.

    I have ALWAYS argued power is important for body building. If the core to any body building program is Squats/bench/Deads/Overhead then it stands to reason that power would be an important aspect of these.
