Here is a formula to use if you want a good idea how many pull ups you can do in a STREND competition, after you max out on the bench press. do 4 strict sets...
Matt! You have all together too much time on your hands! I thought Sonia was going to fix that problem for you! Look forward to seeing you soon. Leslie...
Matt, I have an idea. Why don't you warm up, then do a STREND sequence and see how many pull ups you do. That will probably be a pretty good indication. JC. ...
I agree with Matt. Although I respect the creativity in the training, I think the best thing to do is exactly what the competition requires. I am totally...

That would probably work, I meant it only as a way to see if you are improving without actually always, having to max out on bench, because it may not be Chest...
Why do the majority of strend competitors weigh so little, in both male and female categories? I have yet to see 180-200 pound men placing and 150-170 pound...
Susan; In order to place well at STREND, competitors have to minimize body fat. It's not really as much to do with absolute body weight but the lack of dead...
What if you have a mesomorph body and would be considered extremely unhealthy under 150 pounds? You also do not see tall gymnasts either, do you? They are...

Susan: My reply was not ment to offend, simply to answer your question factually. You asked why most of the STREND winners have low body weight. My response...
Don't worry about it. I wasn't offended but am struggling to meet the weight lifting requirements. There is no hope for me being able to lift 60 per cent of my...
Thanks Leslie. I was feeling a little frustrated when I read Matt's reply that if I only lost some body fat I would drop 20 pounds. I know he didn't mean it...
... Don't sell yourself short. Why not try a STREND event and see how you do before writing yourself off ? There are a lot of gifted STREND athletes who are...
I am planning to compete in my first STREND this summer. Unless I drop some weight I'll be competing around 150 lbs. I just want to be able to finish! That's...
