Hearing about things like this makes me angry because I've been a Warrior Dieter since long before it became popular to follow one form of IF or another. Yes, it works.

And, yes, having 6 small...

Again, I'm repeating what I've said elsewhere, but if you're totally ravenous at night, you need to eat more during the day. You can actually put away a fair amount of calories during the day and...

When I do this, I interpret it as a message that I need a little more food during the day. I find it important to not be completely ravenous every night at dinner. The toughest thing about managing...

The WD doesn't change calorie math - if you eat more than you need, you'll gain, and if you eat less, you'll lose. Many people lose when they go to the WD because their bodies just function better...

This has been my experience, although "disappear" is a relative term. For many joints in my body, doing joint health work, full ROM, etc., starts off every time with various clicks, creaks, and...

I usually open with the heaviest weight I've tripled in training. After that, it's tough to say. It's important to have a solid first lift that you have no doubts about. After that, it's about...

How is your kettlebell windmill? That's a tremendous stretch.

A few points I've made before but are worth repeating, IMHO.

It takes a while to get used to eating less. Whether WD or not, if you decide to take in less food, expect to be hungry for 2-3 weeks,...

I don't think the WD says to eat until you're full. Just going from memory here but I believe it recommends against drinking while eating and then advises to stop eating when you're more thirsty...

Congratulations to you - that's a great TSC, IMHO, especially for your first one, especially at your age, and especially since you dropped a lot of weight while training for it. Nice going!

Sounds like a good plan to me. Note that in HSA, Pavel says he now calls it the Hard Style situp because some people have complained he's changed Janda's instructions. Regardless of what you call...

The Janda situp and Hard Style situps are, in many way, the _opposite_ of an anchored situp. What I see in the video mentioned earlier in this thread does like like an anchored situp - the heels...

See HardStyle Abs for the details - it talks about how to train the Pavelizer situp - includes great progressions and, yes, most people can learn to do it full range. That's the goal.

Strong!

And proof that 12 lbs. is heavier than 70 lbs. under some circumstances.

A lot has been written on this. Google TKD and CKD, for targeted and cyclic ketogenic diet. Plenty to read, plenty of well-liked plans out there. Lyle McDonald seems to be something of an expert,...

I wrote that article. IMHO, snatches are too much work for the back in addition to deadlifts but, depending on how heavy you're going with each, it might be possible to make snatches work. I'd keep...

Working with lighter and lighter counterweights on your pistols is self-correcting - you'll either improve your ankle mobility, ability to contract your abs more, or whatever your limiting factor is,...

Thanks, Dave. I like the approach.

Tamer, inquiring minds want to know more - any breakdown on 2-handed and 1-handed? I ask because I'm lately doing 2-handed swings with the Bulldog and Beast. Maybe it's time for me to 'man up' and...

To me it says that dorsiflexion might be the big issue for you - try addressing that specifically, and try stretching everything involved right before you do your pistols - toe touches or similar to...

You'll need to do both, e.g., consider 2-week cycles of low- and high-rep ab work.

Here's a link to the Konstantin that worked better for me - I believe it's the same video clip

"There is no such thing as bad publicity."

Gotta love this. :)

Reading Christopher Summers stuff has made me want stall bars in my basement gym - it's on the list, gradually creeping up to the top.

Yes, and it's a fantastic book.

It's like most other things - if you keep the intensity low to moderate then you can keep the frequency high - or vice versa, just not both.

The usual recommendation for hard flexibility work,...

To the OP: First, you can mediate in other positions, e.g., sitting in a chair or standing up. No, it's not exactly the same, but it's still fine.

I recommend, if you don't have them already,...

I disagree - if your clean is really good, it will make your press stronger.

To each his own.

+1 to this - try to catch your clean with your feet where you want them for the press, sliding in as the bell floats from backswing to rack position, then press - soon, don't wait around, take...

Gibbertron, congratulations on your TSC!
