I would be very surprised if you could make twice weekly increases on your squat for all that much longer while your deadlift slows down. If you like...

I will say those numbers are fine but not necessarily obviously end of NLP for a 6'3" 250 pound guy. You can reasonably expect to be repping those...

If leaning over more moves the bar forward of midfoot, it is because your knees and hips are too far forward. These are high bar and are well...

Missed that that was you in the squat videos. Yeah man just put pounds in these. They look hard but that doesn't really mean anything.

There's nothing wrong with your back on these at all. Don't even contemplate a reset at this point. These did look pretty hard. Hard enough that I...

Your knees and hips need to be shifted back about six inches. You are "high barring" these, even though the bar is in the correct position. Stay in...

I am guessing what he means is what is the actual, trainable parameter (which is less straightforward then strength). The anaerobic and aerobic...

Last rep is a shade high, but this is the wrong call. The last rep is worth "mental difficulties." The place to avoid these mental difficulties is...

The Blue Book is first, and more important, since it treats the way the lifts are actually done. Doing the lifts with correct technique and bad...

Regarding the question about creatine: This is worth noting for the edification of any coach who might have to field questions about creatine. A...

If you have never done an NLP, you are still a novice for most purposes. Depending on how intelligently you have been training, you might only get...

"Hitting plateaus" is not a well defined phenomenon. What happens when you put 335 on tomorrow? If your squats are high, then nothing, including...

The grey book uses weighted chins after bodyweight chins progress to about the ~15 rep mark. The bodyweight chins effectively act as a "light day"...

Yeah, this is not the back not being in extension: this is the hip angle not being closed enough. That's why you make the adjustments to the stance.

The not eating enough is what is causing him to feel all sore and beat up after a set of sub 300 deadlifts. Those ARE woman numbers. Which means...

Do you think that getting your 3x5 in will not result in hypertrophy? Higher rep ranges do not result in "more hypertrophy", they result in *some*...

Do your volume work at 90%, not 80%. If that feels too rough, drop some of the accessories.

It's each "run up" to a rep. 0:13 is what I'll pick for the "best, first" instance. The bar tends to wander forward of midfoot as you keep "running...

Yes. Oh my God yes. Never allow yourself to have a thought this dumb again. Jesus Christ.

You know what's a real nice exercise to get your front squat up?

Getting those numbers does not take much more time, if any, than getting the numbers you already have. You need to be lifting heavier, and you will...

Stance is good now. Lean over more. Move on to your grip. Point your elbows at your tailbone. Pinch your shoulder blades together as hard as you...

Still go up in weight. You are taking like three "run ups" to the back setting and going on the final and sloppiest one. Set your back, FREEZE, then...

The effort required to drive your knees out ends up going into extension of the hips. If you narrow your stance so that your adductors can remain...

The program, such as it is, never ends. Your deadlift needs to be so much heavier. All your lifts need to be heavier, if you want to make the most...

These will be good if you can keep your back locked in extension. And knees out more, still.

"Gifted" and "ungifted" are not meaningful terms here. It is impossible to characterize a lifter into either of these two groups before they have...
