Bowling shoes are made to bowl in. You just need a shoe with a flat non-compressible sole (and I would add NON-SLIP so no bowling shoes) for general weight lifting. As previously mentioned,...

Good article. My only comment is on the stiff-legged deadlifts. For me at least, I found that once my other leg lifts got pretty high (especially hamstring curls), I felt it in my lower back muscles...

Dump and roll, with a spotter. Ouch.

CHALK. I used mixed grip no straps and my grip is good to go at my max. Hook grip kills and lifting gloves make the bar harder to hold onto.

You can't really define it because I seem to remember it's a determiner. "The" only refers back to something predefined so it has no definition on its own. It's the sick love child of an adjective...

Just getting ready to start a cut after bulking from 165 to 185...starting in a similar place to you and your post is really inspirational. Nice job.

Do a couple sets with your normal weight and no grips? Grip strength will catch up over time without losing much off your lifts...maybe.

I am looking at these for pullups alone.

Squat/bench/deadlift-centric routines work, for some of us...especially if you are worried about strength > aesthetics.

These workouts aren't exactly some hip fad...they've been around forever....

you do 5x5 until linear progression slows or stops. then PR test, reset the weight, rinse, and repeat. theoretically you can make gains indefinitely.

read thread title, came in expecting booze and mary jane.

left disappointed.

nice gj

Last PR was 385 but that was 6th set and it went up easy. Should be over 400 by next month, hopefully. Last DL actual rep day was 5x5x275 with 1-2 minute rests.

...could not resist.

I'd be stoked if gf played skyrim.

^ shirt looks better tucked. jeans look like they're riding too high. belt looks way too long. just my .02

Sore spot right on the point of the hip? Pinch feeling when squatting? That's what mine felt like.

If it doesn't hurt all the time I would guess not torn...but better to rest up. Turning my feet...
