I typically start all brand new exercises for me in the 5 rep range. I take it you aren't a fan of 5 reps for OH squats? Do you recommend more or less?

Thank you for the feedback. Did some additional searching online yesterday afternoon as well and learned that ankle flexibility is often a limiting factor that I think affects me too. Looking...

I added OH squats to my program a few months ago and finally hit a failed set yesterday at 145 pounds (got 4 out of 5 reps). I've felt this coming for a few weeks due to building fatigue in my...

As far as comfort in the low bar squat, just keep doing them and they will feel more natural over time, it's just a new feeling for you given that you don't seem to be in any pain.

I started incorporating Pendlay rows back into my strength program a few months ago after a break of several years. I've never lifted very heavy relatively speaking (probably around 170 max for reps...

I posted a couple of these in a sticky but they may be more likely to be seen here:

Friday update....had them checked again today. Said they looked better but still not perfect. Will post a vid next week. I am thinking I may have some relative glute/hamstring strength issues to...

Thanks for the feedback all....will work on this now and maybe post a vid of it if I continue to have issues....

Thanks for the feedback. Is this an issue of pulling my hands in closer possibly, or just a lack of focus on tightening up on my part?

Was feeling very fatigued going into my last set of squats today so I decided to have someone critique my form under “worst case” circumstances. She said my lower back stayed completely flat, bar...

My vote is for "Naturally More" PB.....added Omega-3 with flax seed and added protein with egg whites....can't get enough of it!

Think I'm leaning towards a hybrid option with a small amount high GI carbs around weight training but add carb loading weekends every 2-3 weeks or so.... I'll give it a month or so and evaluate from...

Just started my first Keto-based diet this weekend. First off, wow, I’ve never felt better even just 4 days in! I was braced for a painful induction phase but that hasn’t happened. I had been...

Actually, SL is 5X5 straight sets (to start out anyway)….and the program has a trainee switching to 3X5 as they progress, so it’s really a mirror image of SS outside of the rows in place of cleans. ...

Keep in mind the Madcow program is only 2.5% per week after the first 4 weeks ramping up....and the progress will not continue indefinitely. There will be several resets within a year with a 4 week...

His reasoning is that at lighter weights, the 5X5 (straight sets, not ramped), gives more opportunity to practice and perfect form. For this reason, he also advocates starting with the bar only. ...

Thanks for the reply. I'm in the same boat as you wrt hook grip. I'm working on it but it's not always pretty. When I hit it right though, the weight I'm working with now feels way too light. My...

Lifting N TX,

I've been incorporating power cleans into my program for the last few months. Overall, I feel like my technique is pretty sound, but I'm developing some tendon pain between my thumb and index finger...
