I thought doing that in California got you arrested.

Oh god, 45s leaning on drywall? As someone who's easily busted drywall as a very weak teenager, that is a terrible thing to do.

The haters seem to have mainly divided into two camps, the "this is all wrong, you don't know what you're talking about, also Rip is fat" people, and...

Yeah, but I dunno if the pin will hold it there. Also, the stack of plates goes through a narrow sort of encasement on its way up, I'm not sure even...

My secret cloning research lab is way ahead of you.

Not sure how applicable this will be on the machine I work with, but I'll wait for the video. For now I've been doing some 3 sets where I increase...

I'm glad I'm not the only one pissed off about how lazy people are with the 45s. My five foot tall girlfriend can put away 45s correctly, grown ass...

Japan had just publicly rejected a call for surrender before Hiroshima. It kind of was their fault, wasn't it? They invaded these desperate...

Sounds like you're probably just running up against stubbornness then. I dunno if there's anything you're gonna be able to point to that'll win him...

Any tips on progressing pulldowns is you're stuck with a machine that the smallest possible jump is 5 pounds?

The current iteration calling itself "Star Trek" sure is falling flat on its face. But I figured it was a safe bet there were some Star Trek fans...

Sounds like the guy is probably past the point of novice gains then, wouldn't you say? What are you trying to get him to try?

I wish this were the worst problem with people being inconsiderate with the equipment at my gym. This problem actually doesn't happen, all the 45s...

A lot of that stuff can probably be avoided by being conservative with your starting weight and really learning the technique right.

Welp, as an unemployed IT guy I think you're missing a few things. First, unless the signal radius is turned way down (or there are some really weird...

Man's got a point. Maybe your buddies are more experienced/gifted than you, but if they see you blow past them after a few months on a good program,...

Well, unless the hypothetical elected official ran on a platform of "I am going to declare war on everyone" or something. But even then, you've got...

It gets easier once you get a good routine down.

I know I wouldn't be.

I think you're not taking into account how much of a "to the bitter end" culture there was pervasive in Japan and especially their military at the...

I've never really even entertained the idea that the WW2 bombing campaigns were immoral. Fact is, if not for the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan, I...

I dunno, I think SS can do without its very own Duffman. I'm sure flashy mass marketing type strategies have occurred to to at least someone in the...

When I saw this waiting for me on the homepage I almost died from the laughter.

The lack of that kind of disingenuous marketing was what drew me to Starting Strength. I wasn't attracted by "look at this, this person's the best...

Not doing that at the moment, still squeezing the LP. It was just something I was thinking about based on what I'd read and was curious if anyone...

Low (probably very low, like around 50%) weight, higher reps, short rest intervals, 5-10 sets or even supersets. The kind of stuff that will make the...

Hey, at least no one was doing barbell lifts on bouncy balls.

Has anyone tried doing bodybuilding type training on their light/recovery days? I'm curious what potential that has.
