Ask Finnegan

Okay, ask any questions you may have about training, diet, exercise, etc here.

How can I strengthen my lower back most effectively?

Zercher Deadlifts, Snatch Grip Deadlifts, and Weighted back-hypers all worked tremendously well for me.

Also, if you've stalled out on 5 x 5, do some 3 rep sets, heavy singles close to your 1RM, and be sure to rest it up for at least 3-4 days between heavy sessions.
Another tip: Work the front too. A stable front plate of abs seems to help stabilize for lower back lifts.
Be sure to eat a proper Post Workout meal/ nutrition as well.

Is it ok to have a "cheat" day in regards to dieting?

Fuck yeah its okay, in fact its virtually necessary to keep the body guessing and to provide nutrients that you don't normally get. Follow the 90% rule. If 9 out 10 meals are healthy, you are doing fine. This means you'll get 4 cheat meals a week.

Is it good to have enemas when you train?

Didn't really work for Ruediger now did it?

When's your next fight? Will there be video?

Enemas are more or less useless unless you need to drop an extra 1/2 lb.

Next fight is last weekend of June if all goes well. Should be videoed without a problem.

Is it possible to be "too" sexy?

Its possible to be too sexy for a shirt, but never too sexy for a hat. Hats are the slayers of sexiness.

How to get back into lifting after 5 mnds away? Start out slow, or go hard?

Go hard. You know the DOMs are coming. Good post workout diet, Magnesium, and active recovery techniques will keep the worst it at tolerable levels. Drink lots of water too.

Great stuff fin, keep us posted on the fight.
