Wal, the State of California will not allow insurance companies to raise premiums on them. This is why, fairly recently, as it turns out, at least...

Is this the link you meant? a crisis of competence - by el gato malo - bad cattitude

Well, you say that, but the preponderance of that state's history says otherwise.

That's a great catch, Satch. Eliot - if you cannot pull this weight with double overhand or hook grip, it may behoove you to try using straps, to...

Back when I started out training in a commercial gym, the day I realized I could face away from the mirror in the power rack was a game changer for...

I respectfully disagree, Griff. Trying to do TM for all the lifts except the squat will be extremely and unnecessarily complex, and trying to pull...

I'm not sure if this is more of a cause or an effect, Eliot, but have you noticed in the video that your head turns toward the right as you pull, too?

On video #1, look at the difference in your back angle between the 0:22 mark and the 0:39 mark. At the 0:39 mark, your back is less vertical than...

Ah, good - thanks. I think that you may be okay with just starting the method in the video from the static hang steps. It'll be more warmup than...

What is your body weight, and what sort of reps and sets are you doing with chins right now?

Human beings want everything bad to be someone's fault. When you can blame someone, you can manufacture a hope that something can be done by...

As Charlocity posted, the first three questions are primary to look at for keeping progress going. When you're legitimately starting to get...

Aziz, the placement of the bar low on the delts is one part of the form, but not the only one. If you keep moving your knees forward as you descend,...

Your including the link to the previous thread with a video of your DL set is helpful - thanks for including that. Have you fixed the form issues...

Just for clarity and understanding: I had to look up what a Cuban press is (in any other context, I would have assumed it was for making...

That second photo, with the skeleton strapped to the bar is a pretty brilliant illustration of "around the hand, not around the wrist".

Your point about trashing the education system, then using the results of it to justify policies is an excellent insight, Jenni. I hadn't made that...

I suspect that a good part of it has to do with the fact that you can't do a "half deadlift" or a "quarter deadlift", the way you can a squat. ...

That's good to know - thank you, sir.

Thanks for that one, Rip - I got a really good belly laugh out of it, however Mr. Bex took it.

Fair enough. I am sorry about your daughter's injury - I hope everything works out for y'all. Being a Wisconsin resident, I'm sorry you're in...

That's exactly how I took it, on both counts. Yeah, exactly. It never gets all better, but it does get better.

That sucks that you had that experience, Satch. I'll see if I can get any info from my doc - not sure how long it'll take to get hold of him, but...

Rip, is it correct to say that, if one gets a piriformis release done, and it wasn't actually what was needed, then the only downsides are the cost,...

Fascinating article... They state: ...with the underlined phrase linking to Wikipedia: Second impeachment trial of Donald Trump - Wikipedia...

Jenni's definitely right, we are a bunch of sappy bastards, aren't we? Right in the feels... I'm very sorry for your and your family's...

But it CHANGED. I've been angrily corrected that, "It's never been 'global warming', it's always been 'climate CHANGE'," despite abundant...

Good one, Martin. Changing age might work, too - I'm sure that's on its way.

Just curious, GM - were both of them from the same practice or facility, by any chance?

Brother, this is one more in a long string of posts where I look at what you've written and couldn't have put it better to say what I was also...
