I also wonder what would happen with a similar thread on Rippetoe's forum.

By the way - you should talk to adarqui and revive that thread on t-nation for some fun, what do you say? Dr. Emil can come to the rescue.

Yeah well I know about the low TUT for the hip thrusts, that's why I will do them with a 3-5 second hold at the top (at the glute bridge so to speak). Then I can pretty much say a 3x8 should be good.
In the rest days I plan to work with chinups/pullups (3x5 with weight if needed, and it will be), core (planks and some ab wheel/machine crunches + hip flexor stuff) and calves. Shouldn't take too much out of me, right?
By the way - I did 85x5x3 today in the squat and it was pretty difficult. Did the first two sets with 2.5kg plates under the heels and the last set without them... I don't know what to say...
I mean, I could stay more erect with my torso with the plates under the heels and could use a narrower stance, but...
As for the cleans, would you go with KB swings instead if I can't catch in the powerclean properly (I catch with the elbows down, on the chest/holding the bar with the hands, definitely not on the shoulders (I'm so far away from doing that))?
As you can see, USSR Dr. Emil has a few issues going... this USA Rippetoe style of training is pretty weird.

However, what we are trying to do is take a more active role in the matter, and also keep it on a more positive note. This term "reverse hypertrophy" was first coined by elite strength coach Robert Emil, formerly of the USSR.

That dude has a heart bigger than the stadium hes running in.
Do you think that's due to high volume cardio?

Hey good job man. I went to play ball on a random court a few days ago and there were people asking me "hey, how is adarqui doing". I was like "where the heck do these people know about adarqui?" haha

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Hip thrusts instead of deadlifts during Starting Strength?
« on: August 04, 2012, 08:18:03 pm »
I was wondering if I should replace the deadlifts with hip thrusts as I'm doing "Starting Strength". They should serve better for my purposes especially as my deadlift form isn't good in the first place and since I'm trying to focus more on my glutes.
The question remains - if I do hip thrusts instead of deadlifts - what volume? For the deadlifts I had 1x5, for the hip thrusts... 3x5? 3x8?

He made a video of that but I'm not sure if he did anything else than that.
