Glad to help. There's so much good information on this site, which can be overwhelming. Hopefully you clicked on the link in that article about...

Whichever it is, we'll continue to applaud your work, carson!

Glad to see that you deleted your previous message, Bill. Keep her at it, continuing with the guidance that you've been given.

It's a good time to read Raghavan's The White Noise of Heavy. Great work. Keep at it!

Good progress, Yeshua. Keep at it!

They looked just fine. Even the mis-groove on set 5. I read yesterday on either Baker's or Sully's blog that you have to visualize breaking thick...

Holy cow! o.O

Yep, it's not always going to feel great, especially as it gets heavy. You're not there yet, but this is great training and prep work for when it...

That is fantastic news! Congratulations!!!!

Thanks, Bill. As this maintenance season ends, that's an artificially suppressed number. I've found that when my squat and deadlift get close, it...

The last one being a grind isn't a bad thing, nor is it necessarily a sign of things to come. Sometimes it will just be like that. Keep grinding them...

You'll make the most progress at this stage if you just stick to the program. At your age, these weights are too early for you to be modifying...

It, or a semblance of it, has been my go-to for the past few summers. It works. The trick for me, however, is figuring out how to balance the...

Great tip about 5A, Bill. I'm at the end of my normal winter maintenance schedule and have been trying to figure out which of the two programs (or...

While not competition qualifying, you got them done. Sometimes it will be like that, especially when pushing limit sets. Brava! Enjoy that...

So sorry to hear this, Fred. As you know, around these parts there's a whole bunch of folks supporting you through thick and thin. As a dad with a...

That's always the struggle - go heavy and take advantage of the extended recovery while hopefully not hobbling or keep it safer and enjoy the time...

Yep, that hobbling around for days and days while getting stronger seems quite counterproductive. I'm going to play with my thresholds for both once...

Congratulations on getting that all done!

Isn't it amazing how a good set of deads will bring joy into a life?

It was fantastic, even with my obstructed view behind and to the side of the stage, which meant that I missed most of the visual screen show and had...

Don't sweat that press fail (too much). That's right around the same point for most of us and it's the first lift to stall for all of us. I imagine...
