The erectors have probably the largest ratio of "work" done to absolute size, and therefore, capacity for recovery. It's why the deadlift is...

You're not really cleaning this. You're jumping but your arms are continuing to "handle" the bar after you jump so the bar doesn't actually follow...

80% is indeed too light. Topsets and backoffs feed nicely into the Texas method as described in the book. Just do whatever you are doing as backoff...

It's not a northern European trait, but rather a Caucasian trait. The populations you mention are (mostly) thought to all be descendants of a...

I have never understood why unilateral exercises are thought to "correct imbalances" based on everything we, and for that matter, the fitness...

Your grip is creeping wider. In general, you have a "looseness" in your body that's letting the energy of the bounce (which you are correctly...

Yeah I'm actually struggling to find ANYONE making an argument for a non-mesh repair. Most complications from mesh repairs are either a) much more...

If it was a disc issue, the weight on the bar wouldn't really affect it, unless the weight causes your back to assume a less than ideal...

This is a really bad camera angle: the rack is basically blocking all the points of interest. You're losing both lumbar AND thoracic extension at...

You're moving your hips but failing to "whip" back up: you're thrusting your hips and just kind of freezing them there. Think your upper body as a...

If you are an intermediate, you can only add weight to your topsets once per week. You aren't special because this eventually happens to everyone....

You're not quite extending your hips all the way: the bar is mostly being "shrugged" up. The power should come from your glutes. "Banging" your hips...

If you can't squat heavy on both Friday and Monday, just squat heavy on Monday. Congratulations, you are now doing an intermediate squat program. No...

Ideally, you want to add it when you would miss reps on the next set of five deadlifts. This is easier said than done. The main thing you want to...

DE contributes some minor training effect on the nerves: they are poorly trainable, not UNtrainable. The main utility is that it uses a lighter...

By being six inches high

Alexander raises a good point: you usually "feel" squats in the adductor when the adductor is injured. Most people who squat can attest to this. You...

When I am unwilling to practice my declensions or my arithmetic, and mostly inclined to lounge in the gazebo and catch tadpoles, mother is often wont...

This is a damn short trail that "leads you to believe" something. To say nothing of it starting to "wondering." Perhaps apply a few razors next time...

This isn't a good angle. Your hips are fine. As long as the bar isn't drifting forward, the hips "shooting back" a sign of hip drive. It'll be...

You need to be eating MINIMUM 250 grams of protein. 200 grams is a bad day.

You are not doing these from the floor. From the position of your back it doesn't seem like you would be deadlifting from an abnormal position if you...

You do not need to add rack pulls at a 160kg deadlift

10 kg isn't *abysmally* close. It should probably be further apart but the numbers alone don't raise any questions. Why are you doing two sets of...

I am assuming he just means actually being in that position. He is not (I hope to God) loading that position. But even without load, yeah, that'll...

I swear to God--

Having a short torso is in fact a pretty decent ADVANTAGE on the deadlift. Your hips are closer to the bar, the moment arm between the shoulders and...

You were noticeably sore, it started getting better immediately, so you took three days off of training? This isn't an injury. You didn't get...
