I don’t know exactly what you mean RE: the 8 week ice training plan, but typically when they say core + general strength, they’re referring to the routines outlined in TFTNA. You can find ’em quickly cause they’re nearby where all the pages turn blue in the very middle of TFTNA.

There’s Scott Killer Core first, followed by the general strength routine.

Again maybe in the context of the ice plan this means something different, but usually that’s what they’re referring to.

I just want to follow up on this thread. I’m in Denver and saw this a few months ago, and got cold feet about investing in a test from CU. At this point tho, I’m tired of setting arbitrary HR goals and just want to get tested.

I searched on this site about choosing a lab and found good articles, but I’m wondering if you have a specific recommendation for a lab you like working with in the front range of CO? Denver/Boulder/CoSprgs would be great.

Thank you,

Max

I’m late to the party here, but I really enjoyed this post. General strength gains are really satisfying and I had a similar experience as you.

I had this magical summer several years ago, right when TFNA came out, that I was able to dedicate loads of hours to training. The first 2 weeks of L-sits, I was mainly just bopping up and down, and I hated them. They require so many muscles at once, they were daunting.

Week 3, all the sudden I was in the air for 1 full second. I had actually held it. week 4, similar story. And then same as you, by week 5, 6, 7… all the sudden I was holding an L-sit for 5, 10, 25 seconds.

IMMENSELY satisfying.
