Absolutely, those are important to most lifters outside of powerlifting maybe. Many of the recommended strength programs include conditioning and mobility work as well as lifting.
5/3/1 prescribes jumps/throws and 3/4 days of conditioning for most templates. GZCL highly recommends it for his programs, and Tactical barbell also has a big focus on conditioning and strength endurance since its marketed towards folks that need to carry heavy stuff at work (military, firefighters etc)
Welcome to Pet Peeves, where the little things that annoy you are welcome. Ever notice the thousands of posts and comments out there that just grind your gears? You always want to say something about how much whatever it is sucks, and you hate it. But, then you’re going off topic and get people mad ...
After humming and hawing about it ever since the Reddit API migration, I decided that if I wanted to see it on Lemmy I really should make it so.

One of the things that I missed the most from Reddit was the strength training subs, as they were great motivation to stay consistent, and the occasional program parties were a lot of fun. A bunch of folks trying to get through super squats and drinking a gallon of whole milk per day made for some pretty interesting workout reports.
I have not traditionally been a community builder in the past, but I believe there is big a gap in the Fediverse where strength training should be.
Its just getting off the ground so too early to say how its going. But I have picked up a lot of valuable info from this sub and the others on the sidebar, thanks for that
There is a whole album for Dwarf fortress that is just incredibly atmospheric guitar, give it a listen. Personal favorites: Strike the Earth and Vile Force of Darkness. They both slap so hard

Initially I had planned to do more pull ups but I was still feeling a bit toasted from yesterday, so I swapped in some curls. I think I'll leave them in for the duration of the program, as I've never done curls in 2.5 years of lifting!
Very glad Carney is behind the wheel during this time of southern stupidity

Tactical Barbell Zulu/HT W1D1
- Behind the neck press 4 x 5 @ 95lbs
- Zercher squat 3 x 10 @ 190lbs
- Pull up 3 x 12 @ 210lbs bw
- Dumbell row 3 x 12 @ 45lbs
- Hanging leg raises 3 x 12
This is the first week of a new routine for me. I decided the spring cut is cancelled and the spring bulk is on. The 10 rep squats were a bit of a struggle for me and I was pretty gassed out for the remainder of the workout, I think due to poor sleep last night? Will see how it goes for the rest of the week.
4 reps at 150% is fantastic! How did you get hurt squatting? Low bar/high bar makes my lower back feel in danger when I'm in the bottom of the squat, so I've switched to zerchers.. Initially the lower weights were humbling but it's perfect for my back
