Mark Rippetoe Speaks
Posted by admin on February 26th, 2008
I was listening to an interesting interview with Mark Rippetoe author of Starting Strength and Practical Programming For Strength Training and was impressed with this training sequence.
A. Cleans
B. High Pulls
C. Deadlift
In this sequence, one exercise warms you up and potentiates the body for the next. I think it is well worth looking at if you want to incorporate a pull and hip dominate sequence.
Another interesting point was that he thought that the low bar squat (powerlifting style) was better than the high bar style because it put less pressure on the lower back because of the shorter lever.
