    Should have added stockpiles of coffee to the baby registry. I'm sure my current level of addiction to that stuff will increase :)

    SS is a good program, but I don't know what you mean by fasting, or why you think that means you have to switch to SS.

    If your form is good, and you eat correctly and sleep well, then you should...

    I've been training (barbell-focused program, train at home, staying the same weight but getting slowly stronger and leaner) 3x/week and enjoying the results; I'm happy with my routine.

    The best way to get it strong is with squats and deadlifts.

    If I had it to start over again, I'd do more research on posture issues and how they arise from/lead to muscle imbalances and how these...

    Update for everyone since I've gotten a PM or two about this:

    The rack's still bolted to the 2x4's, and I'm still happy with that. After a year, everything's in great condition except for scrapes...

    That's 8 exercises for one muscle group. If you can still move, much less lift, after your 3rd consecutive exercise for the same muscle group, you aren't using nearly enough weight.

    Add vertical pulls (chins or pull-downs). You don't have a complete back workout without them.

    I agree about sitting back more. Also agree about the butt wink. Your whole back kind of crumples at the bottom, including a butt wink issue, but also an upper back slumping that will make it...

    Looks a lot better to me. You should be feeling it more in the hips and legs and less in the back now? I guess the weight's so much lower you're feeling it less everywhere, probably.

    Well, you should forget about the Dwight Howard deltoids; that guy's a genetic freak and his delts are way out of proportion with the rest of his muscles compared to the average muscular person. The...
