Beyond Brawn recommendations question
Chris Wirtalla
to be very healthy and well-advised. However, I do have one question: if
you focus mainly on compound exercises such as the squat and deadlift, what
should I do about the other areas of my body that need work -- especially
upper body like triceps, biceps, etc? The squats and deadlift seem to have
great power in building muscles throughout your entire body, but they don't
seem to work those areas specifically (according to his definitions in the
book).
I'm still trying to understand everything in the book -- so any advice would
be great. For the record, I'm 28 years old and I have the body of a 6th
grader (a 6th grader who has a slight beer gut, that is). Pretty scrawny, a
tiny bit of definition from my days as a drummer, but definitely need to
bulk up across all areas.
Thanks,
Chris

Well, if the body is in the basement and is starting to smell, you
better move it or bury it.

I was always quite strong in the back, doing chins and things like that.
So I liked working that body part. Under my powerlifting program I
basically do the squat, bench and deadlift as well as exercises like good
mornings and the olympic lifts and variations for assistance. No chins,
rows, etc.
After a couple of years on this I started to wonder if my back and biceps
were weak. When I started training I could do pulldowns with about 320 lbs
for a set of 5. Or put a 80 lb dumbbell in my feet and do chins for about
the same.
After deadlifting and doing cleans for 2 years I could easily do 5 chins
with an 80 lb dumbbell. I quit worrying about it.

If you include exercises like bench & overhead presses, chins/pulldowns
and rows, your biceps and triceps will definitely be 'worked.' That
said, if you specifically want bigger arms (for example), specific work
for your arms (curls, tricep extensions) would be warranted. The
unspoken point is not to overdo it with hundreds of curl variations, and
then wonder why your progress is stalling or regressing.

Then do something like this, its a McRobert/Leistner/McCallumism:
Squat 1x20 (20 rep rest/pause thing Stuart is rather fond of)
Bench 2 x12
Chins or feet supported chins 2 x as many as you can
2 Dumbell overhead press 3 x8
Straight leg deadlift 1 x16 (very clean, metered and precise form)
Do it three times a week or like this, these short yet effective little
routines are easy to program:
Mon
Squat 1x20 (like above)
Dips 2x12
Chins 2 x??
Wed.
2 DB clean and press 4x10
Raiseovers, wheel, or ab work of your choice
Fri.
Deadlift 1 x16
Bench 2 x12
Bent row 2x16
You can also use little cycling arrangements and micro loads if you like. It
really is just about this simple.

Brick Top was a character in Snatch, which is one of my favorite movies.
And if somebody pipes up and says that Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
is better, they are wrong.

I was trying to come up with a list of my top 10 favorite
movies. It would not include The Exorcist, but
would include Clockwork Orange. Others that would
be likely to make the top 10 are Paths of Glory,
Dr. Stangelove, Rosemary's Baby, Wild Strawberries,
Psyco, 2001, The Ruling Class
The best recent movie I've seen is Y Tu Mama Tambien.
The best movie I never want to see again: The Cook, the Thief,
His Wife and her Lover. Incredibly effective. Very hard to watch.
Recent Movies that might make it to my
all time favorite list: Memento, The Usual Suspects,
Resevior Dogs.
Some flawed movies that are, none the less, great:
Natural Born Killers, My Favorite Year.
I probably missing a lot here.

I usually don't like David Lynch films. Mulholland Drive sucked
except for the fact that it had lesbian love scenes with Laura Elena
Harring and Naomi Watts. I'll forgive quite a bit for lesbian love
scenes with those two.
And Blue Velvet should have been on the list. Other than that.

Well, it's not on my list under either title. Nor Steel Magnolias. Last I
looked, I qualify as 'chix' but do NOT see the appeal in the genre 'chick
flick'.
OTOH, I though Braveheart was incredibly bad, so I suppose my gender-linked
movie judgement is not entirely skewed.

This one didn't do much for me. The acting's great but the movie just
didn't work.

Of course the book is much darker and more miserable - but good - as are all
of Dashiell Hammett's books. But the whole series of Thin Man movies is
very funny, and no one drinks on screen like Nick & Nora.
More movies (varying seriousness):
Any James Bond Movie with Sean Connery
The Bridge on the River Kwai
A Bridge Too Far
The Bridge at Ramagen
The Dirty Dozen
The Guns of Navarone
Das Boot
The Longest Day
at least three Zulu movies
The Man Who Would be King
any movie with Humphry Bogart - Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Cain Mutiny
(rolling the ball bearings), Maltese Falcon

Okay - gotta add Entrapment to this list. Sean Connery and Catherine Zita
Jones... fun interaction and *damn* she looks fine.
And Sixth Sense. See it. Then see it again to find all the things you
missed the first time.
Just my $.03 worth.

Best Movie I Never Want to See Again:
A Time to Kill.
Awesome movie. Everyone should see it. I never want to see it again.

It's a description of my first three years of working in Hollywood!
It's brilliant.

You're saying that you were brilliant your first three years in
Hollyweird?
Did you stop being brilliant after that?

You dropped the 'd'.
And Rob Roy *is* a better movie than Braveheart.

No doubt. "Shut up! Listen! And Learn!"
It gave me the chills to remember some of the bastards I had the
misfortune to work with. Now, when on the set, many of us, on our way
to the honey wagon for a morning constitutional, will proudly exclaim,
"Time to go lay some producer eggs!"
I need to get a life...

he's good. AFA his work on TV, Twin Peaks has not been surpassed, even by
HBO, which has fewer budget and creative restrictions to deal with.

Most excellent.

Way bad.

Brainless fun.

Not great, but OK
>Das Boot
Very good
>The Longest Day
This movie and the opening 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan are two of
the best D-Day flicks.

Love that movie. Seen it 3 or 4 times on cable. Totally forgot about
it. Shoulda been on the list.
