Kids and
PTP: My son (11) wants to start with weights. Is it ok to start him
on Power to the People?
PTP and
diet?: I'm starting a PTP cycle, and was wondering what is recommended
for diet? I'm guessing I won't need to gorge myself like when trying to gain
mass- so just eat normal? A little extra?
PTP vs.
HIT (personal experiences?): I would like to appear "thicker".
I was thinking about a HIT (High Intensity Training) routine to achieve this
goal but HIT could possibly add size. Then I stumbled onto PTP. It sounds
perfect for my goals. Any personal experiences with Power to the People vs. HIT
would be greatly appreciated. Will PTP make one more "muscular"?
PTP v.
pyramiding: I've been using Power to the People to my satisfaction
for about three months now, and I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking to it.
Nonetheless I'm curious: how would PTP stack up against pyramiding, in terms of
advantages and disadvantages?
Does PTP
make you slow?: I've read several times in strength and athletic
training books, that slow lifting (deadlifts, etc.) causes the muscles to lose
their ability to contract faster, instead of Clean and Jerks, High Pulls, etc,
which can make an athlete more explosive, etc. But you said that deadlifting
will make you run faster, jump higher and so on. Isn't that a contradiction with
other authors?
Pull-ups
in PTP: Should I put a cycle of weighted pull ups in with Power to
the People? My wife can't even do one pull up (she's also doing the PTP routine,
but she just began). Do you think she could benefit from cycling in assisted
pullups?
Hindu
squats and PTP: I am doing Hindu squats for endurance. I think Furey
recommends daily training but I am following your approach. in "Beyond Crunches"
you recommend 15 minutes of aerobic movement 3 times a week. Would Hindu squats
in the higher reps fit this category?
Pavel:
Cardio and PTP Routine for Females: I just ordered Power to the People
and hope it is applicable for female training, too. I need to lose body fat and
was wondering how much cardio I should do each week. I have been doing 30
minutes of running @5.5 mph and then 30 minutes of bicycling at least 3x a week.
PTP and
Sandbags: I was thinking about doing a couple sand-bag routines for
respiratory and muscular endurance. I was also wondering what I can cycle the
other weight-lifting exercises in with. My gym doesn't lend itself well to
Olympic lifts.
Pre-tension vs.
drunk drivers: I have always heard that when someone gets in a car
accident with a drunk driver, the drunk driver is fine because his body is
relaxed, but the other sober party in the auto accident tenses up, thus causing
more serious damage to the body. Is there any truth to this? If so, doesn't that
contradict the Pre-tension theory?
