There's an old saying with 20 rep squats; take the weight you normally use for 10 reps and do 20! If you do a little research you'll find this gem of wisdom in most old strength and health articles...
Sorry to hear about your condition mate. As mentioned my advice would also be to stop doing any leg work and seek suitable advice i.e. a doctor and then chiropractic immediately. Knee pain is...
Cool. Just try it and see. I love the gym and would lift everyday if it gave me the results I wanted, but sometimes more is less with workout frequency. We're all different and finding out what works...
To be honest I'm not a fan of lifting more than 3X weekly, I like more rest and follow a pretty standard 3 day split. But that's just me and my philosophy is to keep an open mind and find what works...
I've had good results with size from using 5X5. I haven't used a SS or SL program specifically, at the time I followed a 2 day upper/lower split. For me 5 reps and 3 working sets per exercise was...
It's hard work, and you need lots of dedication to do it. Certainly one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. You can make good money in any area of aviation, GA or RPT. It all depends on...
Fresh graduate making 150k a year, in NZ, in surveying? Doesn't sound right to me, would love you to elaborate on this. Anyway, I used to average well over $120-150k a year working as a diesel...

As mentioned, soreness isn't really a good indicator of how successful your workout has been. It is however a fairly good indication of which muscles have been worked from an exercise. Rather, focus...
I pretty much second all of this. I've never been a fan of the technical stuff like the clean, clean and jerk etc. It's just too high risk and easily replaceable with safer alternatives. Any...
In the 45 degree leg press you need to almost ignore the numbers you're lifting, because the machine gives you a huge mechanical advantage. Just focus on working HARD in the rep range you're using...
Dude, you just have to rest the area and let it heal. Stop doing anything that aggravates it, and give yourself a few weeks off. A few weeks off will NOT hurt your long term progress, i.e. the next...
If you're increasing in reps and/or weight week to week, and you're adding bodyweight, you're working hard enough. Personally I like to work most exercises to the point where if I tried another rep,...
First make sure that you're actually healed up properly before you start ANYTHING. See a doctor and get the green light, you don't want to snap anything up or set yourself up for failure by getting...
