ken loves tigh suits!!
Ken, what would you have done differently training wise if you knew then what you know now??
To be honest mate I don't think I would do anything differently. I actually got into a big debate with the wee bro about 6weeks or so ago and IMO he and many other guys at the uni gym for example over complicate things.
When I first started training I didn't have access to chains, bands, boxes, boards etc etc and all I did was squat bench and deadlift. I feel that just doing the basics and with heavy weights gave me the best base possible for further success.
I never used a belt in training until I was deadlifting 200kgs or squatting about 180kg.
I hear guys at uni saying that their max squat is 150kg wrapped at 120kg BW and that they're buying one of the best single ply suits on the market and the question that comes to mind is WHY??!!
Why jump into equipment when you're clearly not ready? Why overcomplicate training using boards for bench, chains/ bands on squat/ deads etc.
IMO the best way to train initially and the way I did train is just through using simples exercises that don't isolate muscles, but are big compound movements.
So again, I wouldn't change a thing!
