A volume/intensity split is useful when there is a weight the trainee can do for a single set, but might fail on the second (or alternatively, might...

Yes, but we're not dealing with a clueless cardio bunny. We're dealing with a competitive athlete. They aren't doing this because they 's good for...

The joints get strengthened by the same process that the muscles are strengthened. If your concern is wear and tear, increased volume is the exact...

The front squat has kind of a high skill floor, but it doesn't have a particularly high skill ceiling. Your front squat is currently 85% of your back...

It's all traceable back to one guy: Dr. Joel Seedman (PhD), who honestly has probably done more to help than to harm based on just how transparently...

It's your grip, man. Grip is loose, which means the bar too high, which means you can't lean over, which means you can't use your hips.

Your grip is way too lose: the bar oscillates ON your back by like an inch in either direction (look at the center knurling in relation to the logo...

These are not 100% locked out: SHRUG your shoulders at the top. It might look this way because your grip might be a little wide. Your forearms...

Man, lots of things are bad for you. I get that this is a "fitness" forum but let's not break our arms jerking ourselves off.

The main problem with running is that the metabolic adaptations to endurance running will impair your recovery. The metabolism becomes more efficient...

The BOING! is the UP part. We're not saying so a tempo squat but going down faster doesn't actually help you come up any faster, despite it feeling...

"Moving as much as possible" the weekend after heavy squats is an extremely stupid idea. I have a hard time seeing how "greasing the groove" with a...

There are no glaring issues with the actual form but you need to slow these down a LOT. Your knees are moving forward a bit but that's certainly just...

How would lifting be making you look worse when you aren't actually doing it? You describe gaining 30 pounds since June. If an NLP is maintained...

Afraid I can't take credit for that, but it's a good idea. The bottom of the squat is an anatomical, not a spatial, position. Try the "prayer...

I would bet any amount of money that your inability to hit 375 mark is due to your admission that you spent your precious recovery time "moving as...

Actually a lot better. Your stance is a tad narrow: your knees are tracking slightly outside your feet, which you don't watch (you can see it...

Failing to fully extend makes it harder, not easier. If you can't fully extend your hips with a weight, you won't be able to clean it.

Interestingly, you could tell they would be high before you did the last rep, because It is literally impossible for you to get correct depth...

I think the official position on women doing power cleans is somewhat softer due to neuromuscular efficiency arguments, but, STILL.

This seems like a lot of detail for not having a video. Triple extension is a quick movement, and we don't have a way of knowing if you're really...

Good to know, I stand corrected.

Starting Strength camps generally do fives ALL the way up, because the purpose of camps is to give the coaches in charge maximum exposure to your...

On SS Radio #271, Rip, you have a guy call in about training his dad and recommend the Nu-Hope ostomy/hernia support belts. These look pretty good,...

The purpose of squatting the empty bar is to get blood flowing to the muscles. 10 reps accomplishes this pretty well. You're not practicing 5s with...

A hard stick like that indicates you have failed to produce the next increase. Try 96 pounds. Triples are occasionally warranted for the...

Is there a reason you want to keep your knees so far back? They can move forward a *little*.

You appear to be describing your quads "making contact" with the bar: the bar should be in contact with your quads to begin with, and leave them once...

If you use open loop straps (the kind recommended for the deadlift) then releasing the grip releases the straps. The force on the wrist won't be any...

The best exercise to restore that range of motion is the press. If your lockout is correct and can be achieved with weight and without pain, I cannot...
