But I'm over here straight hating on this post though. Wish I was in this predicament of trying to gain weight. The opposite is my challenge. Would love to hear about nutrition dealing with fat loss (not weight loss) and gaining lean mass.

However, this one you blend together in a blender. Tastes like ice cream almost. *Frozen bananas are awesome for thickening any smoothie/shake.

I did not expect to see Timeout app on this site. Nice surprise. Earlier this week I noticed TimeOut on my co-workers machine. We do a lot of coding, pixel pushing and staring stiffly at screens. My co-worker was explaining for the need to adjust and break out of the repetitive movements that harm our backs and hands. “Worlds colliding!” I did not expect to see Timeout app on this site.

That is exactly why I started going to SAPT. I would self-program random lifts/exercises but had no idea if they were helping or addressing my weak areas. And sadly, some of my "programming" was determined by how many meatheads were already in line to use one of the two benches forcing me to do something else. In the slightly less than one year under SAPT's programming I've improved considerably in all areas. Plus, SAPT has funner heavy stuff to push, pull, drag and lift :) Good info Ryan!

From personal experience, it 's an awesome total body exercise. Guess this would be a Zelda Power Step Up?

]]> Comment on “Sort of Maxes”: The Key to Dominating Competition and Longevity in Training by Stevo http://saptstrength.com/2012/02/06/sort-of-maxes-the-key-to-dominating-competition-and-longevity-in-training/#comment-546 Stevo Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:47:16 +0000 http://saptstrength.com/?p=3522#comment-546 Thank you Gerry, and great point. Good question...for movements like the squat and deadlift I'd err more toward the L2ITT (nice usage of the SAPT acronyms, by the way!) end of the spectrum, given that they're not only more low-back intensive but also seem to contribute more to systemic fatigue due to the demand of those lifts. With something like a bench press I'd go more toward the L1ITT end of the spectrum. However, and maybe I'm just being picky, but I think it's best to reserve the L2ITT and related acronyms for "repping out" per se. For example, when it comes to maxing out, one might only be able to get ONE rep with both 96% and 100% 1RM loads, but the consequence of doing the 100% 1RM will be much greater than "sort of maxing" with 96%. I'd go more with a RPE scale than a "rep in the tank" scale when it comes to maxing a one rep attempt; hope that makes sense. Thank you Gerry, and great point.
