Yeah, it feels exactly like being choked out - and I only get a bit of it on grinding reps, and have only been close to/knocked out on heavy,...

In terms of verisimilitude, I thought that Rules of Engagement with Samuel Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones was pretty good. It was written by James...

Maybach, I hope you know I greatly respect you and your advice, but is cleaning with straps really a good idea? I'd worry about serious risk to the...

You're pulling with the arms - the way to see this in the video is to pause it, and move the slider bar carefully to see if your elbows bend at all...

Yep - he's thinking of depth being determined by how low the bar goes, not by what his body does. Have you had him do the unloaded "praying...

Definitely looking better than previous. (Linking to the previous thread is helpful, by the way - thanks.) You're staying tight better, and you're...

Assuming you get the same hits I do, the first three of these should help you, James: ...

We use a regular, no frills Osterizer in our house. It has a glass pitcher that's easy to take apart to clean, parts are standardized and easy to...

This is probably because you are thinking of accomplishing both solely through the chest itself. "Chest up" is accomplished using the musculature of...

For the platforms: Are you able to obtain MDF plywood and livestock stall mat where you are? If so, I would guess you could build yourself a...

I am not, of course, a chiropractor (upper cervical or otherwise), only an owner of a spine myself. However, I find it odd that a misalignment of...

Setup and execution look good overall to me. I would suggest picking a lower point to focus your gaze on - you're kind of whipping your head up as...

I regularly eat burgers made from ground goat. I have a friend from whom I get the animals, processed locally. The taste from does and wethers...

A cynical man might note that, if the director is a big name, then people will go see, and eventually buy copies of the theatrical release no matter...

That's an excellent maxim, sir. Very concise. I'm definitely stealing that one. Thanks.

Glad to help, Hugo. The reason for cotton being specified for the shirt is to ensure sufficient friction between the back and the bar on the squat...

Minor detail here - your legs are wobbling a bit as you leg drive. I've found that pushing the knees out a bit (not unlike on the squat) helps get...

Or that it's always supposed to feel the same. WC, look at it this way: Your feelings will detrain well before your strength does. You are...

That's definitely better. Perhaps still a tad fast on the drop, but that will likely change as the weight gets heavier. To help maintain...

Why wouldn't the GP? The specialist already did, after all.

Thanks for these details, Nick. Working through some shoulder weirdness myself, I definitely find this helpful, especially as I'm saving up for...

Just because what a trainee lifts is too heavy for their surgeon, doesn't necessarily mean it'll always be too heavy for that surgeon's work... ...

Excellent - yet another incentive as I work toward being able to attend a seminar.

Thanks, Zack. In addition to the grip issue everyone sees (which is definitely the first and best thing to fix), you're bouncing it off your chest,...

Then again, that would be a pretty good way to break someone's balls about a pronounced arm pull.... (Disclaimer: All in good fun, Cole - I...

Hugo, it doesn't even have to be elastic - if you mean what I think you do by a fleece tracksuit (i.e. sweatpants), then these are quite sufficient,...

Rip, I think John meant a bar with 30 mm sleeves, not the bar itself. Juergen is using 1 inch inner diameter plates (exercise plates) or their...

BT, I don't suppose you happened to look and see if his shenanigans were being filmed, did you? This sounds suspiciously like it could have been a...

Is she present for seminars and other events at WFAC?

The video was fascinating. Hold up - haven't we been assured repeatedly that personal firearms and the training to use them are utterly useless...
