My spotter and I could not agree more. Yesterday he went out of his ways to convey how unimpressed he was with my last PR. Worst spotter in NATO

Very helpful, thanks for sharing!

I agree with you. I think the article is crystal clear. I also very much enjoyed the episode What happens when a lifter gets old.

Thanks to both of you for responding! I am glad I am not the only one to enjoy simplicity. Rip touched on that subject (complexity) in yesterday's...

I would run into the same problem if I were still increasing my squat by 5 lbs each workout. Perhaps you could try switching to 2.5 lbs increments...

Here are my videos. I figure I might as well keep them here to track how my form progresses. I also like YouTube's slow-mo option. Third set of...

I concur. I also find the cue "push the floor away from the bar" incredibly effective.

Imagine taking the time to join this forum just to spend more time trolling it.

I concur. Great article, Nick. I sincerely hope you will consent to a hug if we ever meet.

That weight loss is insanely impressive. With such a strong-willed personality, I have no doubt that your lift will go way up. Congratulations! ...

Thank you! I have been focusing a lot on the back position lately - those 5 steps have been tremendously helpful, as well as performing that movement...

Big workout today. Husband is away again, the weather was gorgeous, and I was on fire (must be the abstinence). Lots of videos for those who are...

I am with you. Somehow, policy makers think it is a good compromise to deny fair play to half the population so as to spare the feelings of a few...

Thank you for the tip. I am going to plagiarize your warm up on my next bench workout. Lately it feels like my first work set is still a warm up....

Or men's prisons.

BW 116 lbs. Today's workout: - Squat: 152.5 lbs: 3, 5, 4, 3, 3 - Bench press: 99 lbs: 3, 3, 4, 4, 5 - Chin ups: 5, 5, 4, 4, 4 So I was not...

Mis-groove - that is so well said. It captures exactly how a missed rep feels when I bench. Thankfully my groove is much better on the press.

Not an earthshattering update, but today's workout felt so good that I want it on the record. - Squat 3 X 5 at 150 lbs - Press 5 X 5 at 68 lbs -...

Not an expert, but this has happened to me a few times on the bench (and once on the squat). Unless it happens on my last set, I just call it an...

You are one strong cookie. I can't seem to get the PC either; I have yet to figure out where my bare 15 kg bar is supposed to land. At least you...

A 3-plate squat in 17 weeks? Very impressive, congratulations!

BW oscillating between 116 and 117. I think I am shedding a little BF (not that I care much). - Squat 5 X 3 at 150 lbs. - Bench 5 X 3 at 98 lbs....
