Congrats to all!

Let me open by saying I am a strength athlete. I love all aspects of strength. I am not, however, a martial artist.

At 5' 10" and 215 pounds, I would grapple with my friend Stefan Dahlstet. He is...

WHOA! You didn't tell me you trained with Coach Wilson! You may be experience WWS....Wilson Withdrawal Syndrome. It's probably compounded by too much blood in your bacon system.:D

Feel better...

In keeping Dale Moss honest, it's only fair that he gets to comment on my workouts. So, adjusting my modified 4X7, here is the workout I've been following for the past four weeks:

Dale:

Enjoy the rest. You've been working really hard at this, and your progress is great!

Looking forward to the next few weeks of your posts to see the gains flowing in!

Would you kindly add your name to your signature? It is person preference, but I like to know the name of someone I am addressing. Thanks.


Sorry about jumping in here without reading back. I...

Dale:

Great work. Glad to see those progressions!

I'll be heading in to get the other ear fixed on Friday, so after that I'll be working to get the TBF numbers up. You are definitely a...

John:

Yes, you can add mass. Not the same as with linear training, and perhaps not the same look, but I think you might be missing a major point.

clubbells are one aspect of CST. There's...

Dale!

Great work, man. Just remember, it ain't bragging if it's true :-)

That's some great wirk with the 25's. I gotta get my blog up there for your critique....

Keep working you Swamp...

Coach Sonnon:

I'm going with Alberto Gallazzi.

All:

I am a creature of the physical culture. I was brought up with a Dad who was, and still is, as tough as nails. He is a no nonsense,...

Dale:

Great work you are doing here. Very inspirational!

I will begin blogging my workouts, starting tomorrow, in earnest!

My yoga instructor has taken a few weeks off, so I am basically...

Hi Ron:

Two questions for you.....I know it's rude to answer a question with a question, or at least undignified, but I want to give you the best answer I can.

1. What does your overall...

Hi Chris:

I have no idea about whether a jumping clockwork squat would help your verticle jump. I am theorizing that it may contribute to strength, but sophisticating that strength into the...

Coach Sonnon, thank you for such praise. I’m not the geniuis: the genius is the man behind the system. You might know him. He took a very sophisticated program and evolved it to a program...

Al:

Allow me to restate once again that you should really know what you are getting into and have solid experience and understanding with the whole CST approach and philosophy. Also, it is...

If it includes mac 'n' cheese, then I'm in....

When I started training under CST, I had a very hard time relating to the analogies. I am not a martial artist, nor have ever been one. I wrestled briefly in high school. I spoke with the Coach...

Hmmmmmm...I think you mean simple, but not easy :-)

I agree. I train to the old standards and try to get them under 30 minutes. Train hard, fight easy...

TBF with te 25's is going to be a...

Chris:

Yes, they are the same.

Have you had your squat evaluated? Many times poor squat form will force an inordinate amount of work on the thighs.

There are some exercises that stress...

Chris:

Rather than "target" a specific muscle, there are some exercises that more heavily stress the legs.

Your basic front swing, swung to shoulder height, will work the legs and hip flexors...
