AllonsY! Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've just started some of the programming that Lift Big Eat Big has on their site. I don't care for their nutritional ideas but I do love that they lift some heavy stuff on a very regular basis and that they are really, really strong. As a Warrior I look up to these guys quite a bit. That being said; has anyone else tried their training programming? I'm just starting the strength and conditioning one: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0DL9J4Bi6RlMlAwbU1oWWZHcEU/edit Did you hit any snags?Did you get good results?Did you blow a knee cap across the TARDIS? Did you wind up able to swing a Gullwacker harder than Mariel?

Ancalagon The Black Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 LBEB will polarize a lot of folks. I like their approach to strength training and not caring a fig for looks. (although, I cynically and secretly think that they do) I also like their slightly overpriced apparel. What I don't like is their arrogance about it. Their facebook posts often respond to legitimate questions with scorn and derision. Not cool in my book. Marshall White is a respected strongman but he talks shit about other people all the time. Also, yes. I did try their program for about 4 weeks last year. With my schedule, I couldn't sustain the 5x a week training. It was fun though. Very different from my usual starting strength stuff. But, I like my _boring_ SS training. Ancalagon The Black. Half Dragon Spellsword Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I keep meaning to look into it but can't see google docs at work. I'd be interested in checking it out though as they mix conditioning into their trianing while still making plenty of gains and being strong as hell, which I'd be into figuring out how to do.

But, I like my _boring_ SS training. I'm pretty much on the same page. Marshall has some great one-liners (such as the ones I quote in my signature) but they can be really rude at points. They especially hate on body builder style routines and people. But that being said, I really like the combo of olympic lifting and strength training. I'm going to do my best to stick with it and report back I was just wondering if anyone else had tried their training.

SuperUnison Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 The eat big part scares me. I'm much better at lifting than I am at eating. How much do they recommend you eat? Link to comment
KAllen Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I check it quite often for reference. I read most of the articles, and check out the vids. I'm not eating as much as they do though.

Max Power Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I went through three months of their programming at the beginning of the year. My shoulders and legs were definitely gaining size. And I enjoyed the variety of the programming, but I came to the realization that I'm not at the level where that much variety is necessary for me. I'm better off deadlifting every week instead of sumo DL's this week, rack pulls next week, deficit pulls the week after that... The length of the workouts started getting to me too. I definitely took a lot of cues from their conditioning workouts though. I still push/pull a sled almost every week, and sandbag carries and car pushing is a lot of fun too! The path to Swolehalla is paved with a lot of Swolehate, and you won't get there without being Swole of Spirit too.

rybo Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I wish this program was around (or at least I'd known about it) back when I was in my heavy lifting phase. I certainly at times showed flashes of eating big & lifting big, but not to the extent they are. Would have been interesting to give it a shot though. rybo, level 4 Human assassinSTR 16|DEX 7.5|STA 9|CON 12|WIS 8.5|CHA 5 Link to comment
AllonsY! Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I've been sticking with it for a couple weeks now. The workouts are actually a little easier than I expected... just more frequent. Again, I'm not eating as much as that. I'm not as interested in gains at the moment as I am at dropping a few pounds of fat. That is why I'm doing the strength and conditioning program. THere have been two workouts with over 100 burpees so far though. I'm not loving that! Anyone else disgusted with Marshall's video on eating? That dude is gonna die at 50 from heart failure.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Haven't had time, though I doubt with his level of activity he will be having any heart issues any time soon.
