Training background:

Childhood: playground soccer, ice hockey, cross country skiing, swimming
1973-1986 Basketball. Played in the Swedish junior national team and in the Swedish level 1 series (Brahe, IFK Linköping). Coached kids team, camp leader.
1986-2000. Tried various martial arts, fencing, weightlifting, played in lower divisions of basketball. Constant problems with knees and back.
2000-2007. Sporadic training due to becoming the father of twins, weightlifting, running, was only consistent with two years of Jodo. BMI peaked at 27 in 2002
2007- . Mix of "everyday active" (bike to work, take the stairs instead of elevator,...), yoga, weightlifting (squats, deadlift, military press), functional training (e.g. MAQ, burpees) and swimming. Feels great.

Jul 19	comment	Recommendations for a weight program to support martial arts competition I looked at the video, impressive form. One thing that I start thinking about is how weight-lifting will impact the practice & execution of the form itself. From my basketball playing days, I remember that too much weightlifting (legs and/or upperbody) was bad for my long distance shots. Sort of touches on this question about Neural Adaption vs Hypertrohpy, fitness.stackexchange.com/q/7235/3778
Jul 19	comment	9 Weeks off Weights @Lady, if the descriptions are correct, physical training is part of the boot camp (would be strange if it wasn't), so perhaps the question should be "What will happen with.. after 9 weeks of no weightlifting but with body weight and cardio training?"
Jul 18	comment	9 Weeks off Weights A search for earlier questions on "taking a break in training" gave a number of answers, e.g. fitness.stackexchange.com/q/3472/3778
Jul 18	comment	9 Weeks off Weights Is this a correct description of the US Navy bootcamp? gamergirl.hubpages.com/hub/US-Navy-Boot-Camp or navydads.com/forum/topics/navy-bootcamp-weekly-training
Jul 17	comment	How to properly use Guideline Daily Amounts for determining my calorie consumption? From your question, it seems like your goal is to lose weight. If you use the search box at fitness.stackexchange.com/questions/how-to-ask, you can search for "lose weight". The answers at this site will guide you towards doing more training and less dieting
Jul 17	comment	Is it bad if I can't do legs in the gym? @user3750, I searched this site for "training when injured" and found a bunch of useful answers, see the search box in fitness.stackexchange.com/questions/how-to-ask
Jul 17	comment	What is the “kernel” for a 4 decade training program for physical fitness? @J.WinchesterI think that if you are in a "maintenance state" the the idea of doing one set fits the overall picture better (less time etc) My own experience is that the negative thoughts of not being able to do the best workout stops you from working out at all.
Jul 17	comment	Digestion and getting fitter Is there grains in the protein shakes? It seems like the change in diet was the additional shakes
Jul 17	comment	how to pull with your Lats A link to Kai Greene would be helpful
Jul 17	comment	What is the “kernel” for a 4 decade training program for physical fitness? How important is a "training log"? I found one question about this, see fitness.stackexchange.com/q/3300/3778
Jul 16	comment	What muscles are targeted by these different variations of pull-ups: standard, chin-ups, and the neutral or parallel close grip pull-up? @Galaticninja, you have an earlier question about shoulder problems when doing pull ups, are these questions related?
Jul 16	comment	What muscles are targeted by these different variations of pull-ups: standard, chin-ups, and the neutral or parallel close grip pull-up? I think the comments have to do with how advanced the user is. If it is a beginner in pull-ups that uses the bar, the fine division of muscle groups matters less than if it is an advanced user. Is it you in one of the pictures?
Jul 15	comment	Should i do cardio or weights first? No, I have measured training effect, see firstbeat.fi/physiology/white-papers Both with apulse meter (R-R) and manually (when swimming)
Jul 14	comment	What is the “kernel” for a 4 decade training program for physical fitness? well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/12/the-hazards-of-the-couch A summary is that if you are too inactive (i.e. more than four hours) then doing high intensity doesn't help you.
Jul 14	comment	What is the “kernel” for a 4 decade training program for physical fitness? @Andreas, good point. However, I am not sure whether anaerobic and aerobic are the best categories. In my own experiments, I see that I get a high training effect when I do weight-lifting (e.g. measured as high pulse over time).
Jul 14	comment	What is the “kernel” for a 4 decade training program for physical fitness? @Sancho, I think the problem that I am facing is to have a framework for executing various training programs over time.
Jul 14	comment	What is the “kernel” for a 4 decade training program for physical fitness? @JohnP, increasing n to a higher number would be interesting. Perhaps a part of the "kernel" would be to be actively share experiences.
Jul 14	comment	What is the “kernel” for a 4 decade training program for physical fitness? So a key element would be lifting heavy weight in a "maintenance state" as you described about once a week. Another would be to be "every day active". I know I have read that you also should be active at least every 40-45 minutes, will check up that reference
Jul 14	comment	What is the “kernel” for a 4 decade training program for physical fitness? Will check out the work by Rippletoe (have looked at the vidoes). Your own practical experiences are interesting, especially the prioritization and the motivational part. Over the decades, how have you tracked your training?
Jul 13	comment	What is the “kernel” for a 4 decade training program for physical fitness? @DaveLiepmann, agree that "stay active" is the (too) general formula but I think that part of the kernel should be to monitor your capability (strenght, mobility and conditioning)
