Old School Training for New Gains

Ya, I know.  I usually do a kind of conjugate approach but sometimes it's fun to do a little linear dual factor training. 

Starr's program also lends it's self well to my new set up in my basement.  I scored a squat rack, a bench, a military bench, a bar, a trap bar, collars, a weight tree and 820 pounds of weight all for $120 from my old high school.  They got brand new stuff and just wanted to get rid of the old stuff.  It's good to know the right people sometimes cause obviously they gave me a hell of a deal.  I can't tell you how cool it is to have a gym at my house.   I know I'm kind of a ...

And for the training, you and I are in agreement.

I don't know of next years guidelines, I've been kind of out of touch.  As far as qualifying for nationals, the way everyone else is throwing and the fact that I haven't touched a weight for so long, I'll be lucky to qualify myself.

Oh, and tell Beesch that he ain't that pretty anyway so he can just give it up.
