Sometimes these questions help me to understand why Rip is turning pink. The answer to this is probably in 500 separate pieces of audio or written...

I fit your description except 40 yrs old and a high 3s squat. I'd be doing NLP still if I could sleep better and recover better. I am essentially...

I believe the extra 2 sets should be more than offset by reduced rest required between sets for females. I either imagined it or remember it being...

Not an expert but to me I would sub out every other deadlift with a lighter pull

If you weren't eating enough to recover doing the NLP you're not going to make progress on the TM.

I'm 39 and own both Barbell Prescription and Practical Programming. There's plenty of program ideas in the latter that are less demanding than the...

To clarify, one or two nights only out of the two weeks, or per week? For me if I have two nights total, I would squat heavy and deadlift heavy...

Thanks Steve. The 0.90 heal drop in the Do Wins at my shoe size is too much.

Good luck, keep us posted on your progress.

I'm also torn on buying these. I need better shoes but the reviews are either great or awful. I do want a half inch heal and I haven't seen any...

Even though people think you're a troll, the advice has been solid. Add a gallon of whole milk a day, should start seeing the scale move.

Gallon of milk a day can make older guys "chubby", but clearly that's not an issue for you. I'd get on it right away with some whole milk. If you go...

Personally I'd just do 320 next workout. Too big of a jump might be hard to recover from.

Practically speaking, I can't imagine thinking about relaxing any muscles during the squat. Especially the hip when I think "active hip" while I'm...

I wonder if for the heavy day if you can just increase the intensity and cut the reps per set until you have a set up suitable for pin press.

Do you own a copy of Starting Strength? Not a bad way to see what SS has to say about it.

In case the guy that Rip suggested throw the hammer is lurking, there's a great PDF here: Learn to Throw | Hammerthrow.org Hal Connolly is(was)...

From what I understand, VJ is only trainable to an extent, but mostly genetic. It's covered in several different SS radio segments. I'd be more...

Not a coach, but sometimes it can look almost the same on film but feel totally different. Really shove your ass back and doing that helps lots of...

If an EM bomb were detonated, the most precious metals wouldn't be gold or silver. I generally agree volatility is a consideration but liquidity is...

Bitcoin is currently far more useful to the average Joe than gold and silver.

Tampa was the worst franchise in the history of the league.

That's not true. You can purchase stuff with bitcoin now. And it's not a huge jump to see people paying in bitcoin. I'm open to any solution to hedge...

I wasn't a believer in crypto but I am now. Unlike Tulips, it has value over the current fiat currency. It's secure and has a fixed supply. I treat...

The "TB12 method" deals with lots of band work and sport specific stuff. He has said he doesn't do barbells and it's likely given his significant...

Is your heart not beating through your chest after a set of squats?

Like this? Ironically, the incident below helped me find the best spot to hold the bar, because my thumbs and wrists are too sore to hold it...
