The challenge at the moment is time to train and what are my priorities. While I am making good progress on the lifting side of things my running needs some serious attention as the Dublin race series is coming up. Definetly need to focus and get up earlier again.

This article is geared towards providing you with a general overview of the basic tools to understand how to evaluate weightlifting programs for your personal needs. I will not cover Olympic lifts in this article, as I personally think they are not that suitable for beginners and I personally also have no experience with them so far.

I personally wish i would have had an overview like this when I started out with training. It takes some time to seperate the crap from the good websites and the bad from the good instructors. Here is an overview of what I found to work for me and on each of these pages I found workouts and knowledge which are being used and taken advantage of in my family.

Personally I was too shy and proud to ask for spots when I started lifting. Usually you will be on your own in the gym so here are tips how to ask for a lift, when to ask for a lift and why to ask for a lift.

This is an article based on my own shortcomings to help you to better your best on your lifts. I am lifting now for roughly a year starting with the Stronglift 5x5 program, then switched to a 10x3 program for six weeks and doing a German Volume training template at the time of writing in May 2015. Any comments and recommendations, please let me know. To follow my self-assessment, visit Marathon Crossfit on YouTube and have a look through my videos.

Six weeks ago I started my new training routine after joining my new gym. I switched from Stronglifts 5x5, which I had done for 10 months, to a modified Westside template with three sessions a week with 10 x 3 repetitions for the including accessory work. I added 20kg on my squat going up from 120kg to 140kg, 12.5kg on the bench press from 122.5kg to 135kg and 10kg on the deadlift from 165kg to 175kg. This added up to an increase of 42.5 kg or roughly 10% on my powerlift total.

In the world of strongmen you will find some interesting characters. Actors, dancers, MMA fighters, Vikings and former basketball players are among them. If you want to make this list you neither have to lift a horse, an anchor or a woman over head. Good luck trying!
