Not certain if this guy was an idiot, or if I'm just ignorant to these exercises.

Exercise A: He had a 30lb ez-curl bar that he would upright row, then push his arms out so that they were parallel...

I've read a lot about people's family doctors giving them a hard time about lifting weights. Yesterday was my annual physical, and found out that my doc isn't one of them.


...

As far as instruction, there are literally hundreds of web sites with detailed information for each exercise. What I did was read as much as possible, and practice with little weight, sometimes just...

I considered that as well. When I got my membership, I got it as promotional thing. Basically it's only $8 a month for 2 years plus cost of the ID tag ($202 paid up front), but the terms dictate that...

Thank you!

Fair enough, I'll explain further.

Craigslist has nothing in my area. The closest thing I could find was 2 hours away. The cost of gas alone negates the savings of used plates. We are currently...

Here is my dilemma.

At home I have 480 lbs of weights. I am doing SL 5x5, and my current 1x5 deadlift is at 435, no stalls yet. In about 2 weeks I won't have enough weight to keep increasing....

I told a Personal Trainer friend of mine that I'm doing SL 5x5 and wanted to re-evaluate the accessory work I'm doing. My biggest trouble spots currently are locking out on bench press, liftoff...

My guess is that most people will tell you to go to your chest. That is, after all, the full range of motion for a bench press.
...

When I let go of the bar, I restart everything. Grip, breathing, mental focus, etc.. I don't like just whipping through reps, I want to make sure my head is right so my form doesn't go to hell....

Yes, and yes.

I do ME work every 2 weeks, so I generally use that as my gauge. I suppose my best bet would be to try incorporating them for a couple of weeks, and if I notice my grip suffering on ME day, I'll just...

When I train deadlifts I do 3 sets, as follows:

Warm Up Set 1: 225x5 DOH conventional
Warm Up Set 2: 315x5 Hook Grip Sumo
Work Set: (increases every workout) currently 415x5 Hook Grip Sumo
...

When I lift heavy, I go to the gym, and have been spoiled by their deadlift jack, so I wanted one for myself. I used three pieces of 2"x6"x8' lumber, and some wood screws. Total cost was around $25....

I wouldn't cut the yoga. If time is the issue, then just do the first 40 minutes or so. The moving asanas are what help your functional flexibility anyway. Alternatively, what I did was write down...

From their FAQ:



I had a hard time reading this, and for more than just the awful grammar. I bolded the parts I found especially amusing.

I understand that the idiocy displayed in the FAQ...

Go to stronglifts.com, get his spreadsheet, and plug in your current lifts and body weight. It will tell you where to start. If you are lifting beyond a certain point, the spreadsheet will suggest...

True. Yet you only reference the aspects of food that you see as being pertinent to body composition and weight gain. You not only disregard the other nutritional content, you are in essence...

Yet you still recommend he eat McDonalds every day. So basically, when given several choices, you are advocating that people should NOT make the best one possible.



One could also make the...

Which is not the point I was arguing. Your comment about reading comprehension has never been more applicable.



As do I, since you are changing the subject in order to avoid the fact that you...
