Stupid fucking tropical rainstorm Nicole. Was supposed to do sprints and jumps today but everything is soaking wet. Oh well. I wish I were still in college...

I haven't even thought about Michigan vs. OSU football this year because each week brings so much anxiety on its own. I can't handle the anticipation. But this is the basketball subforum, and in basketball, my loves go something like this:

1. Duke
2. Wizards
3. Michigan

Duke = National Champs

Wiz got John Wall

Kyrie Irving is playing for Duke this year

And now, Austin Rivers is playing for Duke next year.

Praise Jeebus.

Oh that makes sense. I'll try to add a few sets of pull-ups then after my push press, even if this is an exercise that I don't really like    :-\ One thing, when I do the full squat (atg) is it bad if my legs are a bit wider than my shoulders? Also, what amount of sets/reps is ideal for the full squat? like 5x5 or 5x8? ty

Take some video of squatting and post if you can; hard to picture an ATG squat with feet that wide. In terms of sets/reps, the setup depends on your goals, and even then there's nothing that's "ideal." If you're trying to groove technique and get stronger, you could do a lot worse than 5x5. The stronglifts template is as good a place to start as any: http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5-beginner-strength-training-program/.

Welcome, dude. First, some others in here and I disagree on this, but if you can learn to do below-parallel squats safely now, it'll help you a lot later on. Second, with respect to your upper body, you need a pull to balance out the press. This is a good principle to go by: If you push something with your arms, you must pull something with your arms. Push presses are a great exercise for your chest and part of your shoulders, but you need something for your back. Classic way to do this would be chin ups or pull ups. Bent over rows or seated rows are another alternative.

FWIW, I think a lot of the mocking on here comes from it being a fad, not from it being inherently stupid. People saying it's the "ULTIMATE WORKOUT" or treating it like some awesome training secret.

You wanna see some athletic huge dudes? MY friends, behold the top performers at the 2010 NFL combine: http://www.nfl.com/combine/top-performers

Some highlights:

Trent Williams with a 34.5" standing vertical at 315 lbs
Clay Harbor 40" standing vertical at 252 lbs
Bruce Campbell 4.85 40 at 315 lbs

FWIW, Cushing jumped 35" on his Pro Day at USC and at the combine.
