Similar story here. As I continued with linear progression, the gap between increasing bodyweight and my increasing press stayed the same for a good while, but then started to narrow. They only...

Check uspto.gov to see if they have a filing on record, and to figure out the contact entity (then check that state's SOS business services site to get current agent/contact/etc. info for the...

Nope, I'm not. GCND here; initials there. Rarely have time to actively participate in BR antics, but follow it and RH. Fellow alum, though, as you might've guessed from the moniker.

Karl, glad you posted this in the BR, too.

With approximately -20 pounds of muscle mass, right? Watching the Tour de France this month at all? See those guys? The skinniest are in that range. Again, as others have so kindly pointed out,...

Like everyone else, I can only offer what has worked for me. Every individual's system of obligations/responsibilities/hobbies/etc. is unique. To echo what others have said, weightlifting is like...

Contact the local district office of your Member of Congress. They can get you a quality made-in-the-USA flag in a variety of sizes, nylon or cotton, and have it flown over the Capitol for you, for a...

I don't have any progress pics -- never occurred to me to take any. Reviewing family photos from the various milestone marks didn't really produce any that would be illustrative.

Well, I typed up a massive reply to this and it didn't post, for whatever reason, so here's a truncated version.

If you visit Lyle's site, you'll see the recommendation of "cutting" to 10 or 12%,...

I'm not doing anything with five sets. My volume is now 2 or 3 sets while running a deficit, instead of 5. My Mon and Wed presses look similar volume-wise, just one bench and one press. On Friday,...

In my experience, law students generally feel like they have something to prove.

That said, not all lawyers are argumentative douchebags.

Furthermore, for Subsistence -- I've also added similar accessory work, due to decreased volume on the main lifts. Weighted chins and dips, RDLs, rows, and a few others. It's working for me thus far.

Was glad to revisit this thread three weeks later and see some additional quality input. Thanks to Subsistence for continuing to ask questions that I've had.

As I mentioned in the first post, I...

Space constraints. Indoors, I have a limited footprint available, and the space for the rack is also the only space to press. I do not have the luxury of pressing outside of the rack. Unfortunately,...

This is great info -- thanks! Now, whether an 84" rack could be installed in an 88" clearance is another question. I think I could just barely press inside a 7' rack.

Wall anchoring is to be avoided. Walls are masonry. Plus, with low ceiling clearance, the pull-up bar has to be affixed to the floor joists, so might as well incorporate dips into it.

Clarification on the spotter arm length -- yorickk is right. They are 20", overall length is 24" including the brace that connects to the upright.

Dips are really the thing lacking here, and my...

For Dev: downloaded it, it ran like molasses on an iPhone 3GS (yes, older technology). Looked like it might be promising in the future, either optimized for more devices, or if I get a new phone....

The Rogue website lists them as 24". If I go this route, it will also be pushed up against a wall (in order to align with the subfloor supports for pressing purposes). Because of the clearance...

Thanks again.

One of the key elements for me is the functionality of the spotter arms for squats. At 24 inches long, they're the same length as if I were squatting inside a shallow rack (R-3, or...
