First of all, apologies for the thin video. Will start going wider on the iphone!

I feel like I am muscling/efforting the weight up and that the movement is not...

Thanks Colin, the question was not geared for me to find a way to use all of them in my current programming, it was more just to learn how they are used in general. Piecing together what I've...

Hey Ripp, I was wondering if I could ask you a programming question about the "other" back-intensive lifts namely Rack Pulls, Halting Deads, Barbell Shrugs and RDLs.

Now I know all four of them...

Hey Rip, thanks in advance for any time you can devote to this:

This is 305x5x3, im 6'0" 180 lbs. In my own quick evaluation it seems like going down is decent and...

Rip, no need to reply if you feel this is unrelated. That said, when programming deadlifts for an olympic lifter, would you have him use his Clean grip width or would you have him go as narrow as...

Thats what some of the coaches think around here... in fact I may have made a thread about it, don't remember.

The conversation with one coach made me rage!

Ok then it sounds like OS. So what is the course of action, take a large amount of aleve, gorge myself with food and train through the pain?

The chiro did say when she was working on me she saw my pelvis was mis-aligned to some extent

I'm 20 and no, I've never been checked for OS. I did dislocate both knees though, my right knee when I was 13 and my left knee when I was 18.

Rip I come to you instead of relying on medical people who adhere to the CYA approach to recovery and WL and I understand you don't have a microscope big enough to see my leg from Witchita Falls to...

Thanks for the reply Mark. The challenge will now be getting the kids to swallow their egos and lower the weight so we can get the 2nd pull the way its supposed to be!

Hey Rip,
As a football coach and a big fan of strength training I was wondering if I could get your opinion on something. In the weight room a lot of kids do what I call the High School Football...

actually knows what shes talking about too... though she was doing clean grip hang power snatches at the beginning

So to clarify, the type of shrug mentioned is not the typical barbell one where you stand straight up and shrug, its actually a hip extension and shrug?

Ok ladies and gents, a little background. I have been "on and off" SS for about a year now. My best gains were last year from about June to December where I reached a BW best of 178 (starting at 145)...

ive wanted to try that since seeing V for Vendetta when he makes it for Natalie Portman... looks tasty as fuck

when i cook that, do i flip it ever or do i just leave it one side up to cook?

It has been mentioned several times here and on 70sbig about cooking eggs in the bacon grease after you skillet the bacon (rather than using butter) but I am looking for a little clearer directions....

Squatted today for the first time in approx 2 weeks (laziness) and didnt have the usual pain in my knees but I have this pretty annoying/spasming pain on what I think is my right shin bone. The...
