No offense, but I looked at the push up and pull up deal. I could knock out that in less than 5 minutes, its a weak pyramid.
Did you do the run schedule?
That swimming module is a mother****er.

How are you lifting mate? Like 3 x 10 reps? You could always mix up the sets a little, 5 x 5. Or superset. That broke me through a plateau. Chuck in some plyometrics. Experience has shown me that if I don't mix up my workout at least at the most basic level every ~4-6 weeks, I'll take a non-optional 'boredom break' from training altogether.
Do you need strength for your job? I was a labourer for a couple of years and the incentive to train was always there. Then I went to a desk job and the incentive was to get as fat as you can, as fast as you can

Were you looking at the category II schedule with the dips , up through week 15(further down the page)? The Category 1 is a joke, and yes, the second time I completed the workout I did the swimming module as well. Sucked ass, especially as I'm not the strongest of swimmers.

If you lean forward a bit as opposed to being completely vertical you'll work more of your lower chest.
I did this program exactly how itīs supposed to be for 4 months, and I got in good shape, although I did not gain as much muscles as I wanted to, because of running. But it helped me to accomplish tough military course without worrying about my physics. Now I try to get more muscles, chicks like it(even that ones that deny it)
Running, running and more running. Oh and push ups - a lot of them (after waking up and before turning in for the night). I won't be a stud but at least I'll be healthy.
[quote=SoCalEMT;3771588]The Run schedule is a Joke...it's the rest of Category 2 that is breaking me in half! The Dips are ze shiznit!
But 30 miles a week tis nothing!

Honestly, the running evolution of the workout was the easiest. The calisthenics were tough , especially when we started drastically reducing the recovery time between sets (essentially doing one giant circuit towards the end). The swimming was the most difficult, hands down. Great workout, although it was simply too time intensive to use as an adjunct to sport training. On the upside, you can basically live off a diet of ice-cream sundaes, white Russians, and KFC and still maintain 7% body fat.
Alby, These guys wrote the book on big and strong:

Yeah, it might be a little overboard...
Just put up 225 yesterday on the bench 5 times. I ony weigh 153. I was pumped up

Carib, wich would make 100+Kg of lifted weight for 70kg of bodyweight! Sorry Yuro here trying to cope with you imperialists! We're on the same league.
I'm 147. I'd kill to be able to throw that up once.
Meh got to start somewhere. I was like that before but then you realize how fast you can actually make gains. When I first started out I was benching only 115lbs. 3-4 months later I was at 175lbs. No idea what I'm at anymore since the heaviest weights my campus gym has are 60lb dumbells and those are way too light for chest work outs.
I got home from lifting today and couldn't walk down the steps. I'd call that a success
When I was doing squats, my legs totally locked up. Now I can't bend them more than 90 degrees without them cramping. This is the first time I've done squats in a few weeks. Is this just from not doing that exercise in a long time?
