Tidbits

I’ll write something up for Friday’s post, so here’s some random tidbits for your Thursday pleasure.

Derek Poundstone breaks a bat.


Jim Steel is contributing to StrengthVillain.com, and here is a little program program you can get started on if you are lacking athletic ability.

A few months ago 20 year old Pat Mendes does a No-No-No squat of 363kg/800lbs. He opted to walk it back in the rack too…so nobody can complain about it.

Here’s a badass article by “MOA”, another Strength Villain contributor.

  1. Mendes is such a beast. I wonder how long he has been training hard. I guess maybe 4 years max? Absolutely incredible. I can only imagine the type of dedication it’s taken to get to that point.

  2. +1 Justin.

    I hadn’t seen this ‘Mike the Situation’ wanker before either.

    It’s 9:05am in Sydney right now, I just finished destroying a bacon and egg roll for my second breakfast after arriving at work, and now I’m all shitty and aggressive after seeing that.

    I’m going to put a colour printout of him on the wall right in front of my power rack. It will put 10kg on my 1rm squat instantly.

  3. Justin,

    Two things;

    Can we have a guide on how to press girls/children overhead?

    And

    Can we have a guide on how to modify Texas Method, in order to maintains gains and make sure we don’t get overtrained etc etc, and get the most out of the method?

    I think both of these would make easy short tidbits articles.

    many thanks,
    R P McMurphy

    The second isn’t short at all, because there’s so much variation you can do with a TM type set up, and it’s dependent on many different variables with the individual. I can give some generic alterations though.
