A very important message in an election year... Also, Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

I also don't know what was said on the podcast, but it can depend on what you want to do with it, so what do you have in mind? That said, for...

Given the time of year, maybe ask him if his staff have memorized the ICD-10 code for "Poor surgery close ruptured by patient sneezing". You know,...

You're trying to lose 15 lbs of BW and add weight to the bar at the same time as an intermediate, with relatively high volume? How old are you,...

Having recently travelled, I'll point out that hotels will often stock dumbbells, where they wouldn't stock barbells, allowing for some exercise...

Good - I can personally recommend Wittmer Rejuvenation Clinic, then. The reason your GP recommended a urologist is presumably because that's...

Matt, your 2.5 lb jump - are you using 1.25 lb plates on each side for that? Looks like you're in a public gym space, so how much control do you...

Ben, Something I see in all of them is that it looks like you haven't broken the insidious high bar squat habit yet. You're breaking at the...

Are you in the US?

Hardly anyone does the exact program, as life always presents challenges to doing so. Treat learning to overcome these challenges as a sort of...

How about "Less is more"?

The novice effect, especially at younger ages, can outstrip low sleep for a little while, but it's a losing game in the long term. You can't...

I've been quite happy with Duluth Trading Company's pants (and shorts) for quite a while. Their fire hose material lasts very well, and I like their...

This is why "just barely strong enough" is a mistake, like "leaving just enough time" or "saving just enough money" or "having just enough ammo"...

Why not 172x3x5 next time? And as for form, you should always be working on form, not deloading to do so. Not going up in weight is deloading,...

Tiger: Similar age here. To add to what Rip said, he's also moved over the years to recommending a set of 5 for HDLs, not 8 anymore. When I made...

That's definitely what I'd do, IPB. I have a similar policy for requests for dorsal/big spoon squat spot requests, too.

I may be missing something obvious here, but please indulge my ignorance. What in the name of Campbell's alphabet soup is a DATCBP?

I have a guess as to why you're doing the crotch thrust. Are you thinking of tightening your abs when you brace? Like a crunch? If so, try...

During the Age of House Arrest, I was able to make do with a pair of metal, adjustable sawhorses for safeties. I mounted a length of 2x4 on each to...

One of the good things about a community that encourages open discourse, but is generally based around a degree of shared principles, is that you get...

From the article: I'm sure I could come up with something someone could espouse that more strongly preempts trust, but I'm having a hard time...

Having been through this myself, I feel your pain, Nick. There are some people who've been able to stick with more optimal training, and some who...

One detail to keep on mind: Make sure you're lifting with the same plates and bar (and collars, or at least collar type) each time, to make this...

TalEphrat - I'm not sure where you are, but four what it's worth: I personally had a situation last year where I had an MRI order for an urgent...

Don't be too pessimistic. Everyone eventually isn't the same as everyone at once. Most mass movements start with a few, then more follow. ...

It's very hard (at best) to outprogram insufficient recovery, Nick. What's impeding your getting enough sleep?

Inherent to "minimum effective dose" is the matter of the desired effect, so yes - minimum dose of the stress that will product the desired effect. ...

But this is an emergency, Rip. Haven't we well established that laws, up to and including the Constitution, are considered optional now, when it's...
