Thanks for Part 2.

I can easily see a book about this. A couple of chapters on powerlifters and bodybuilders, and how they differ. Find a two or more, male and female, on each side who want to...

Marty, thanks for writing that. Stef and Rip, thanks for posting it.

I read some of Jim Steel's log on strengthvillain (thanks for the clue, Peoria). This guy's OK.

Looking forward to Part II...

Hey Mikey, I know what you mean.

K+E, Post/Hemmi, Dietzgen and Faber Castell made fine wooden slide rules. Pickett made a fine aluminum slide rule. Go to ebay and have a look. Right now, ebay...

Snyderman, would you consider cycling instead of running? Some cyclists swear by squats.
...

I go to a commercial gym that has a cage/power rack, a slant/squat rack, a smith machine and a hack squat. I use the cage or the slant rack and someone else is using another rack more than half the...

Hi Myrmecia. You've obviously put some thought into this and come up with an interesting system.

Is it valid? To me, the primary purpose of tracking is to help you progress. If this helps you,...

I've wondered that to, since I actually have five of the same white polo shirt, three of the same black pants, eight or ten of the same black socks, etc.

Gene, thanks for the thread and the update. It's always good to be reminded to mind the technique and the muscle knots.

Those do sound like just the right words. I'll use them. Thanks!

That was funny!

Quagmire, that's an interesting point.

jstevanus, this is an interesting thread, and you're moderating the discussion really well.

To your original question, I asked a fellow who has a lot of...

Bingo! That's the difference between ego and pride.

GhostWolf, thank you for bringing back a memory. It's been about 50 years, but I can still see myself in a little shoe store getting fitted for a pair of PF Flyers. Mom always insisted on "a good...

That was seriously funny! Thanks.

Here are a couple of good websites for following Curiosity:

BTW, Opportunity is still exploring Mars...

This is really useful! Giving my press priority has made my bench much more secure.

50 lbs. is about as far as I need to go one-handed. And, that won't be much when I get to serious squat/press numbers. So, overwhelm it; don't optimize it. Fair enough.

Thanks.

P.S. I...

Mark, I know you can't care and teach about everything, but may I please ask a questions (and plant a seed):

Many of the strenuous things we do throughout each day are unilateral. Bilateral...

While the Paleo Diet may optimize individuals, it is not optimal for society as a whole.

From the article by Dr. McDougall:
According to Dr. Cordain, “…there wasn’t a single person who did not...

Interesting thread. Pardon me for bringing up something from a few pages back.



Sappbe, I agree with you about not making claims; I think those are wise words. But I think we can learn from...

That is a hell of a lot of weight!

Bet it made a nice big bang when it hit the ground.

Congratulations!
