Any experienced STRENDER will tell you that is not a bad idea. Three push and two pull exercises. Back off a rep or two on the bench, and you will easily...
Thanks Matt that helps a lot, I've been a runner most of my life and I can't believe how much that run took out of me. Two days later I went for a run and I...
That is the advantage of doing lots of STRENDs as part of your workout sequence. When you get to the real thing, you will know exactly when to stop. That...
Howdy John, I was chasing that little guy around today, and I could not catch him, he is part of my reflex training. How is the pole vault going? I took a...

Old Don was pretty darn spunky, all right. He took two jumps in the pole vault--including warm-ups. Both were world records, of course thanks to the efficiency...
Hi Greg, Not that great--11 or 11'6", but I have been working on my invert and am getting back into form! My goal is 13' this winter! I have made 12'6" a...
I have had an adductor injury that has kept me from running very much, but I rode over 500 miles in September so that was good. I am lifting 3 days per week...
Hi there. I have been doing so many strend workouts the last 2 months I need a break,.I am getting worn out. I do them 3 times a week and 2-3 each time...not...
He did not wear himself out as a young man. Take it easy, Steve. Save some for your 50's, 60's, and 70's! And your Strend scores will probably increase now,...

Today while doing pullups I noticed after my workout that right below my right armpit it got really sore, its even sore to touch. Any ideas? Thanks Dan...
It sounds like to me either part of your rotator muscles got strained. You need to be careful doing pullups, especially if you have any shoulder rotator cuff...
Try doing rear delt workouts and rotator cuff workouts once a week..it helps prevent injuries from things like bench and pullups...also..dont unlock your...
