I disagree entirely. At a bodyweight of 165, I've done lockouts with 900 lbs with no belt or wraps. So long as you're careful and set the pins high, you'll be fine. I personally prefer lockouts to...

If you got tired of free weights, you'll get tired of the smith machine, which is one of the worst pieces of equipment crowding the floors of gyms today. That stated, 5x5 is a nice rep scheme, as it...

If you end up having difficulty squatting 225 at the end of this workout, I will mock you until you kill yourself, hahaha. Good luck though.

The Bulgarians would debate that. They take whatever rest period is necessary for their HR to return to a certain percentage of their resting HR, which usually doesn't take very long.

Sounds ****ing awesome. I might have to make the trip up there to check you out.

I had similar plans, and thought after b-school I'd put them into motion. After talking to a couple of strength-oriented gym owners, however, I've changed my mind, as I've no interest in living as a...

I lifted at Top Gym in Vienna, and that was open 24 hours a day. I didn't see a gym at all when I was in Poland, though, so we're definitely spoiled compared to you.

It's about 20 min northeast of downtown. Take 59 N and exit at Kuyukendahl.

All of those 24 Hour Fitnesses suck ****. I worked out at three different ones while I was there, and they were uniformly **** (though the women were outrageously hot).

I just worked out there for the weekend while I was in Houston for a conference. I didn't meet those people you mentioned. Apparently Jamie Eason works out there as well, though. It'sa great gym.

I don't give a rat's ass about 24Hr Fitness and the like- I'm curious as to what badass, hardcore, powerlifting and strongman gyms you guys know about. I'm currently in Houston, and just lifted at...

Sled work is GPP, which is a form of what you'd consider cardio to be.

I love one arm snatches, though I prefer the barbell version. Nice lift!

I gave up on orthopedic doctors in college, after three in a row decided that the only solution for my elbow pain was quitting lifting. Shortly thereafter I gave up on chiropractors as well. That...

Thanks guys. I was going to look into the active release anyway, so I'll definitely check that out.

I believe I did it while deadlifting, though I may have done it on a deep squat as well. I've been stretching it and slathering it with Icy Hot throughout the day, and it's feeling a hell of a lot...

I am not prone to injuries usually, but I got tendinitis in my right knee, ostensibly from a lot of front squatting +barbell hack squatting. While attempting to train through it, I injured myself...

Waterbury.

Use the Waterbury Method- it combines 10x3 with 4x6.

615 back squat, 440 front, no-no-no style.

If you've been training for 10 months and those are your numbers, you need to get a lifting partner to push you. You should be doing double what you are, at least.
