It's the best way to look good and lose weight, yes. Starvation is the best way to lose weight, but starvation is stupid.

The women I know personally who have tried it have lost weight that they...

Huh?

My favorite was "L. Ron Glassman."

Have you checked your blood sugar recently? How is it, now that you've added weightlifting to your regimen?

Convinced my wife, sister-in-law, and mother. All three are lifting very nicely. My sister-in-law and mother have both lost significant amounts of weight which they never could do before they started...

It sounds worse than it is. A good coach will prioritize the cues that fix the most things. I don't know if I'm a good coach yet, but I think the lower back and then the foot placement will clear up...

Might be high. Check that too .

Check your ability to control your lower back. It looks loose the whole time. You are not supposed to relax it to attain depth. I'm not sure you ever have it tight to begin with.

While we're at...

There's probably a moral in there somewhere.

Olympic lifts don't require near the space that powerlifting does. You could even just do them in your driveway, then roll the stuff back in the garage when you are done.

If you love it, you need...

5/18/2013 In the Heat of the Night

Working out late, after wrestling with my freezer's clogged drain.

Squat: 390x5, 440x3, 490x1. That's a new training max. It was heavy.

Bench: 310x5,...

Yes, the e1RM is pretty useless, since you are doing that AMRAP set at the end of your workout. You've already done two work sets before you get to it, so you are tired. If you warmed up straight to...

Nice work, as always.

The genuine TM should be faster, if you could do it. I wasn't smart enough or tough enough to handle Intensity Day every week. If you can, it's faster. My 5/1 variation should be twice as fast as the...

5/15/13 Sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I was sick yesterday, and wasn't sure if I would make the workout today. I pushed it until evening to try to rest. I'm glad I did, because it was a...

Yes, if you are doing 9 work sets, that's not right. One set of 5 at 65%, one set of 5 at 75%, one set of 5 at 85%.

I'll just redo 440. I bet I'll get four next time. If I don't stay up late drinking whiskey, I might even get it. I certainly got a training stimulus even with three.

It's better, but the problem is still there. Take a good look at your rear end. Do you see it moving before the bar moves? That's the clue. Another clue: I can see your knees poking out in front of...

But, he's so old! He can't get strong.

5/12/13 Squatzzzzz. . . .

I got up early for squats, after a late night. It didn't go particularly well.

Squat: 340x5, 390x5, 440x3. First time at this weight, and failures happen.

Later...
