This is definitely not 20 rep squats. You may do 20 reps in the squat, but if you're using your 22-23 rep max, then it is not what is generally referred to as "20 rep squats." For true 20 reppers,...

I haven't tried the adjustable KBs. I don't make a comparison of DB vs. KB because they are both useful. KBs strengthen the grip and wrists more, which is the main advantage IMO. I'd say, if you're...

They're good, but only as a tool. They are not an effective replacement for a barbell. I mainly use mine for conditioning work (high-rep snatches, jerks, throws, etc.).

Don't buy it from Pavel....

Man, this blows hard. Stop now.

Do the Rippetoe beginner's program and eat the way he recommends. There's a great writeup in the workout forum about the program, and it will be infinitely more...

Bad idea. Not only is it dangerous to force yourself to slow down, it makes you unnecessarily sore and is not as effective as explosive lifting.

And for the record, the official definition of...

Well it isn't exactly smart to look at what the pros do for advice. Unless of course you have 1 in a billion genetics and take huge amounts of steroids.

However, I do think that a lot of people...

Fiction.

Staley has said it repeatedly, and I quote him often: Soreness is not an indication of progress. Soreness is only an indication that you are currently in pain. Seek increases in...

Chad Waterbury is the man. I use his ideas in all of my programs, whether it's one he writes or one I write. TBT is great. Do it just as he suggests (he does know what he's doing, trust me), and...

If you're worried about losing muscle, have half a scoop of protein powder before your cardio. This is enough to stave off catabolism (Dr. Lonnie Lowery recommends this).

You really should be more...

You'll use less weight for front squats. You should be able to clean that weight. Otherwise, you can use the barbell in a bench. Just get under it and stand up. It's a little more difficult but it...

I don't know who took it upon themselves to alter the routine and spread it around this and other boards, but that is NOT the program Mark Rippetoe outlined in his book. I've lost count of how many...

You hijacked it by drawing me into this stupid debate. Before you posted, I was addressing posts in the thread, which isn't hijacking at all. If you want to take it to PMs then do so, but let's get...

So in other words, you're saying we should continue discussing something that wayne pulled out of his ass? Just because that's the original topic of the thread? And my statement about this being a...

Have you even read this thread? People are acting like there are those who say squatting works your arms directly. NOBODY EVER CLAIMED THAT. So this whole thread is ridiculous, and that was my point....

I don't think I argued against any of that.

Cool. On the other side of the argument though:

Just as an aside, any macronutrient will be...

Care to back that up with sources? Because that's not what I've read.

You're forgetting one minor fact. He's one of the best olympic lifters alive. He has no desire for 20" arms. They'd be practically useless in his sport. Like I pointed out earlier, "That's their...

Really?

4 scoops whey
8 oz chicken breast
8 oz ground beef
8 oz salmon

You can't eat more protein foods than that in a day? This isn't even counting milk, cottage cheese, eggs, other meats...

It's not specific to PL at all. I know you're a Mentzer guy, and Mentzer guys tend to be the worst at understanding/acknowledging this, but hear me out. NONE of the best PLers in the world train with...
