Strength: Bench Press 5-3-3-1-1

 

then...

 

For time:

150 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (45lb/35lb barbell)

 

------------------------------------------------------------------

 

For those among us looking to gain size and strength... 

 

 

70s Big: "...can be considered the quest of attaining strength and subsequently muscular body weight. The best way to obtain strength is through barbell training, and barbell training means squatting, pressing, deadlifting, cleaning, jerking, and snatching. Period."

 

Here's one my favorite excerpts from their Food FAQ page:

 

 

What about new age diets?

 

I don’t care if you know a friend of a friend who got “swole” on a raw food vegan diet. It doesn’t matter that your tofu-eating emo buddy finally pulled 205 off the pins. The rules apply, and you must obey them. Whole milk and hamburgers build a sturdier foundation than sprouts and soy.
