Quick questionnaire

4 days per week strength training. I try to do some walking on off days with a weighted vest.

I don’t train body parts, I train movement. Squat, overhead press, deadlift and benchpress. I only train body parts if they are lacking in the movement. I do each movement twice per week.

I guess I’m an intermediate. I haven’t really pushed myself long enough to be beyond that….yet.

My goals are to be strong and active, to be healthy for my family. I’m also a competitive strongman. Right now I’m preparing for a show in the summer. I also really enjoy strength sports and strength science. It has grown to be a passion.

My commitment level is high. I don’t miss days unless I’m sick. Even then, I still go as long as my illness is not respiratory or gastro-intestinal.

I am natural, and will stay that way unless medically necessary to be otherwise. I’m not quite 30, so I’m not worried about it yet.

Averaging 5 days of spin on the peloton per week. Slowly adding in strength training. Taking it pretty light on the legs because of the high resistance in the spin classes. I do body weight squats and lunges a couple days a week.

Hitting chest arms back and shoulders twice a week. Just dumbbells for now. And the pull-up bar down in the basement. Dumbbell press and flies and pull-ups the same day. Curls and bent rows and overhead press another. I’ll throw in some standing rows triceps extensions as well.

Somewhere between rookie and intermediate.

Goals is strength and endurance.

Commitment level mentioned above at 5 days a week. Never do the spin classes more than 2-3 days in a row depending on how long and intense the classes are.

Natural except for some vitamin and BCAA supplements.
