Tony, Congrads on your exercise program and your physical condition. But you're making it sound like each of us are trying to find ways of hurting ourselves. That's not the case. Since I can only speak for myself I'll tell you why I wanted to do this program. The last time I can remember doing 100 p...

I really don't think it has anything to do with the program itself. It seems to me that there are a number of us with phyisical problems that are lending themselves to injury. At least with me, age the age of 68 and all of the metal in this body it stands to reason. I don't see how basic exercises c...

One of the reasons I wanted to try this program was to test my shoulders. Well, they helded up very well, but my hip did not. Yesterday after finishing the last set, as I rose away from the bar, I hear a click in my right hip. I didn't hurt or do anything else, just clicked. Later in the day I was w...

Tomorrow I will be doing the second day of week 6. I'm looking foward to doing it. So far I've been able to move from week to week without a hitch, although I did step down from level 2 to level 1 after the fourth week. My shoulders are holding up fine, but I'm getting a lot of stress in my lower ba...

I've been on level 2 since I started. And I was doing pretty good until yesterday when I did the third day, level 2, week 4. The last set got me pretty good. So, I'm going to drop down to level 1 and go on to week 5 starting on Monday. I've had to drop the horizontal pullups from the workout as I pu...

I just finished my second day of week 4. It's getting pretty tough. There have been very few posts from everyone about the pushups. I wonder if everyone, but a couple have dropped out?

I just finished my third week today. Doing pretty good so far except for the inverted horizontal rows. I've had to really slow down on the progress with them. I have a question, though. When are you taking your weekend test? Is it on the last day of each week or are you resting a day before taking t...

Yup, you got it, but I seem to get more out of doing my way. Doing them with your heels on a bench and the body straight doesn't allow me to focus on the parts I'm trying to work. Actually, if you get right down to it, I'm cheating on this on too. Some of the exercises that would have been a walk in...

I've added an additional exercise that I believe will help with rowing strength. It's called an inverted horizontal row. In other words, it's like doing a lying bench row, but you are facing upward, hanging from a bar, with your feet flat on the ground. Your body is in a horizontal position with you...

I have been unable to really get into the mix with exercise since the replacement of both shoulders. But this really got me thinking. I can kill two birds with one stone. By trying to accomplist the 100 pushups I can throughly test the shoulders and get this old body back where is was a couple of ye...

Bill, I had my right wrist fused and a stainless steel plate installed in mine. No therapy afterward at all. The Doctor said whenever you feel like using it, have at it. I was back rowing after about 2 weeks. It hurt some, but with the plate and screws holding everything in place, it wasn't a big is...

That's exactly what most people are missing about training for a particular event. The dyno gives the person using it the best combination of exercises to improve their performance in rowing. Many folks believe that working out with a long list of assorted exercises will improve their performance, b...

Many, many moons ago there was a program that consisted of one exercise and a growth booster. The supposed growth booster was simply milk, ice cream, and a banana. This was consumed one or two times per day, every day. The exercise was either regular back squats or barrel squats. The barrel squat wa...

Tom, That last statement of yours should be "If you want to lose weight eat less than your calorie expenditure." A lot of folks think that just eating less is going to help them lose weight, but if they lower their calorie intake too much then the body shuts down. After being around resistance train...

Tony, One of the reasons for this forum is to exchange information. Why don't you voice your opinion in your words, not someone else's words. Perhaps by voicing your opinion we can understand why you believe that this particular system is superior to all the others that have been around for years. O...
