Sybersnott Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Referring to Michael Brown's method of how to train to lift the Inch: simply train on a 3" thick handle, either by using a barbell and/or a dumbbell of that handle thickness. Really. ??? I don't know about you, but to me Michael Brown is a bit of a nutball. I mean... c'mon.... "training in mud" made me laugh!! :p :hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Sir Snott, John Wood is a thinker- which means he ponders outside the box, and he has creative ways to train for holding the replica. But those methods are his story, and I am hoping he shares with the board. In the meantime, chat with him Saturday night, he is a likeable young man with training wisdom way beyond his years.

Guest reid73 Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Actually mud would be pretty decent way to train anytype of pull I would think.Pulling the weight out of the mud would make for an interesting twist to just picking it up off of the floor..If I remeber one of the great olympic lifters of all time (a russian the super Heavy)used to practice snatches and cleans in waste deep water..I bet it has a similar effect as useing bands and Chains..I dont know if Im gonna run out and train in the mud but it may have some merit .

Roark Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Remenber Ellington Darden's piece in Strength & Health Mar 1970 'Muscles With Mud' ? It shows him in a mud pit. It remains the dirtiest article ever to appear in a muscle mag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted June 22, 2002 Author Share Posted June 22, 2002 Do you want to hear a DIRTY joke?? Five white horses fell in the mud. Wanna hear a DIRTIER joke?? SIX white horses fell in the mud. :p :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted June 24, 2002 Author Share Posted June 24, 2002 At the AOBS, I got the chance to meet and talk to John Wood. I asked him about his training method that helped him lift the Inch rep. He talked about the bench, and how to use it. Also met his famous dad, Cincinatti strength coach Kim Wood. What an amazing night it was!!
