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...

Zach, that video's showing as unavailable now, when I try to look at it.

Rip, was Phoebe the one who needed attention at the beginning of our conversation on the most recent call-in Q&A? She looks and sounds like a...

Insomnia as a side effect of TRT?? That's news to me - usually, improved sleep is a benefit of TRT. As the father of a teenage boy, and having...

Agreed - this is an excellent article. My challenge to you, Cole, is to see what you can learn from it now. The principles are not solely limited...

How wide are your feet, Hugo? I know Adidas in general always used to run on the narrow side, though I don't know if that's still the case, or how...

Thank makes sense, stef - thank you, ma'am!

I'm sure that the tape test procedure is documented in an official publication, which means you should be able to self-administer it (or have someone...

What does the tape test allege you to be currently for BF?

Looking at the link, I think you're using the equivalent of exercise plates, Juergen, and not Olympic plates, is that correct? If so, you're...

In the same spirit of reversing the concentric steps when lowering the deadlift, I've had good results from likewise pushing the hips back forward on...

Knute - I don't know what branch you're in, or what the current weight/tape requirements are, but the more weight you can gain from strength...

Nice, Heinz. Very subtle.

An important distinction to keep in mind here: During your duty cycles, you will not be training. You will be exercising. That's not a moral...
