I ran across this youtube video of A-Trainer flys. Does this demonstrate correct form? I have read A-Trainers challenge thread and seen the description of the exercise. A video can also be useful,...

Tom,

Thanks for the response. I was doing about 12 reps overall across the drop set so I am *really* glad I got this confirmation :).

I am looking to do a mix of strength and hypertrophy. If it...

Tom,

I have started doing this routine and am really liking it so far. I have a clarification question about the drop sets. If doing a drop set for let's say hammer curls, the recommended number...

This sounds like a useful tip. I have been able to make linear progress so far although it has slowed down. Once I stall, I will try this approach and see.

My height is 5 feet 9 inches. Weight was 158 lbs when I started (after the month off) and is around 169 lbs nows. During the third week I seem to have gained about 1 lb. May be it is stabilizing. I...

I had been working out with weights for almost a year using a split program. It was not a very well thought out program. I just followed a buddy of mine and did a mix of machines, dumb bell and bar...

Thanks folks. I'll take a look at the bar position links and make sure I am holding the bar in the correct position.

I am trying for a low bar position for my squats. Where on my back should the bar be? I can try and make sure its not too low. Given that I have flexibility issues already, maintaining an extra low...

I started on SS recently and my squat weights have become heavy (at least for me). Today I noticed that half way during the set, the bar started to slip down my back. Nothing dangerous but it does...

Helps to know someone else also finds this one challenging. Bench press is still going up so let's see if I can move up some on bunch press on Wednesday.

Hi,

I am a little over two weeks into Starting Strength and have being making good progress. All exercises are linearly progressing nicely and not yet hitting any limit. Eating like a dog and...

I will look into the Manta Ray solution. I have never tried these but it looks promising. Hopefully, flexibility will improve enough so I do not need this long term.

Wider grip is how I am making it work right now. I will continue the flexibility exercises and keep adding to my squats. Give it another week and then reasses.

By the way, to illustrate the level...

Thanks gesres. I will take a video next time and post it for feedback. That is a good suggestion.

Anthony: Are you suggesting that I try broom stick and other dynamic stretches before the work out...

Hi

I just ended my first week of "Starting Strength" and have been having a difficult time with the squat. I have read Rippetoe's book multiple times, read the FAQ and watch all the videos as...

I noticed one interesting things about the amino acid profile. The units on the label do not add up. It states the amino acid in mg/serving. Shouldn't it be grams/serving? You can see the image from...
