In the Gymchat Interview this week we focussed on hypertrophy, talking to Personal Trainer Conor Kelly. If packing on a bit of muscle is one of your goals, go back and watch that one. Great discussion.

This time Josh will be hosting a roundtable discussion talking about training for both size and strength. How to start, the right way to tackle both at once, and a whole lot more. Joining him will be Suneet Sebastian, Paul Marsland, Kevin Hart and Jason Paris. Fantastic.

Hi, and welcome. Really looking forward to the discussion.
Quick thing : if you'd like to share the Youtube link on your own site, you'll find it over on Josh's Youtube channel. The image above shows where it is.

Just create a new post on your blog, tell everyone what's going on, and paste in the code from the 'share' section. Same as with other Youtube videos you may have embedded on your site.

Alternately, just point everyone to the front page of Straight to the Bar. It's already on there.


cheers,

Scott

Tip of the Week: Getting Back Into It

Each week we publish a number of tips and techniques via Twitter, Google+, the blog; and now the newsletter. Wherever you are, there's always a way to improve what you're doing.


Returning to Heavy Training After a Break
Returning to Heavy Training After a Break
If you've been away from the iron for a while, how do you get back into it?
Vic takes a thorough look at this in the 'Returning to Heavy Training After a Break' ebook. For a brief overview though, check out the discussion we held on that very same topic.



In Gymchat 136 - Heavy Training after a Break, Vic noted :

I lost a LOT of strength on some lifts. It was surprising. That's why that initial 3 weeks of lighter work was important to me - it was smart to underestimate my strength at first.

And

It's important to consciously do less those first few weeks. I was off for almost 2 years - as a rule I did not put any more than 135lbs on the bar the first week. I did not push any sets to failure the next two weeks while still staying at 5 reps or less for most sets.

Good stuff.

Tip of the Week: Build Your Own Tire Sled

Each week we publish a number of tips and techniques via Twitter, Google+, the blog; and now the newsletter. Wherever you are, there's always a way to improve what you're doing.


A tyre (or tire if you prefer) sled is a beautiful thing.
If you're considering adding a little sled work to your routines, but haven't tried it before, this is a great way to see if you like it. What's more, it's an incredibly quick (and easy, and cheap) DIY project. Well worth diving in to.

Matt explains the overall process in his article DIY : How to Build Your Own Tire Sled, but the video below - showing the sled in action - will give you the general idea.


Good fun.
