Greetings Readers,
This week, I'm just going to share with you a free E-book I've written: "Mythical Strength's Little Book of Bad Ideas". This is a rough copy, with hopes to expand in the future with more content and photos, but right now getting it off my plate and out into the world was my priority.
Read, enjoy, and leave any comments or questions below.

thank you very much for this! I started reading your blog a few months ago so I already knew some of these amazing ideas (... I mean horrible ideas of course) but there were also some new ones which seem very interesting to me (I plan to buy a gripper so the chapter on it was especially interesting.)
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna print out the whole thing coz its just 65 pages.
Glad you enjoyed it dude! Hope the gripper training goes well. Cool you'll have a printed copy.
DeleteHave been loving your content on Reddit and this site the past two months (especially the conditioning stuff). Any way to donate to you?
ReplyDeleteVery much appreciated dude. Best donation you could do is pay it forward. Be a great online citizen and help out anyone you can.
DeleteThis is fantastic. I've always had your 400 push-up set in my brain and this kind of rekindled the drive from me to do more push-ups. I literally reach failure at around 55 reps and can't eke out another, I don't know if it's a muscle fiber type thing or what but it's always bothered me to be at that number.
ReplyDeleteThanks dude! No joke: maybe don't count the first 5 reps of the set. "55" could be psychological at this point. Or maybe even just some old fashioned rest pausing. Hit 55, 12 deep breaths, more reps. Next time, fewer breaths, until you can just do more.
DeleteThis felt like reading a strength training classic. Really good, man. Very creative and an easy read. Thank you for that and congratulations on the awesome writing!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic compliment: thanks dude!
DeleteThank you! Really looking forward to reading it!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it!

ReplyDeleteThe number of reps you end up doing works out to your top set squared, if I'm reading it all correctly.
Kind of neat. Makes for an easy account of volume.
Absolutely. Although I actually consider it "active recovery" in my own programming.
DeleteDude this is awesome. I've been keeping an eye on your stuff over the years as I really enjoy your no-nonsense approach to training and emphasis on just plain hard work. Having a bunch of crazy workout ideas in the one spot in an ebook now is great though! Definitely going to try some of these.
ReplyDeleteThanks dude! Hope you find it useful.
