This is a fantastic article by Reynolds. It's probably my favorite of his so far, and I've enjoyed them all. I may or may not put the info to immediate use because of my current age/body...

In my experience, it would be difficult to find a way to push it in a manner that isn't effective.

I don't give a shit if Lance was doping for all those years. If an athlete wasn't caught cheating by the rules governing the sport during the time he was competing, cheating didn't occur. Just my two...

I can typically manage my callus formation pretty well by using a file as I finish up in the shower. The moisture helps to loosen everything up just enough for me to use the file to smooth the...

Looks like some pretty good squats to me. You had some technique breakdown towards the end of the set as you pointed out, but nothing I would be concerned about. That shit happens.

What a fantastic story. Very enlightening and inspiring.
