Another good book is, "Super Squats" by Dr. Randy Strossen.

There is a book titled "Mass Made Simple" by Dan John. It should solve all your problems.

I was thinking more along the lines of: Monday - 10, 000 meters, Tuesday - 500 meters x 10, Wednesday - 30:00 minutes, Thursday - 2,000 meters, Friday -5,000 meters, Saturday - 30 seconds on/30 seconds off x 20 for example.

Have any of you developed a training schedule just using the preprogrammed workouts?

Hmmm, you must be a beginner to recommend this. Advanced athletes would know it has to be a snatch grip overhead jump squat to get any real improvement.

They would all benefit from snatch grip overhead squats.

If the overhead squat isn't feasible, try this:

Day 1
Press
Squat
Pull from the deck, i.e. high pull, power clean, SLDL, DL

Day 2
Pullover, a Nautilus Pullover machine is best but using an E-Z curl bar while laying on a flat bench will do
Squat
Farmer's walk

Crossfitters post here? I'm out.

Are you discounting the value of overhead squats because you don't/can't do them or that few, if any, rowers currently include them in their programs? Sure, it's a tough exercise, any weight training exercise of value is. But all he is asking is for suggestions. Instead of attacking my idea let the...

Okay, I get it. Blow me.

Please elucidate? The overhead squat is a great exercise. However, due to the emphasis on stabilizer muscles, you have to use a much lighter weight than with a conventional squat or deadlift. Therefore, the large muscle groups, those that will truly drive adaptations and gains in strength and muscl...

The overhead squat (as a stand alone exercise) works more muscle tissue/muscle groups than any other exercise. If the trainee works towards doing an overhead squat for 15 reps (with a bar equalling bodyweight) a considerable amount of strength, usable strength, will have been obtained. By systemati...
