Reps for everyone - Thanks

Since I'm doing Bill Starr's 5x5, I'm supposed to be doing 4x5 on my middle day. Would there be any problem with just doing 3x5 beltless, then doing my last "heavy" set...

I'm almost done recovering from a deadlift injury, which happened doing Starr's 5x5 on the 4th rep of a 5 rep set. My form slipped a little and injured my lower back and left hamstring.

Now that...

Thanks for the quick replies guys. Does sciatica ever go away on it's own?

I'm trying to do some research on it right now.

I just recently got over a year and a half long battle with patellar tendonitis (90% recovered)... and before that it was a wrist injury that affected my bench. Finally I feel good and am back to...

One thing I would point out about your example is the weight difference. A 220 lb man would be heavyweight, while the 190 lber could realistically fight as low as light heavyweight (175) or even...

Swirl,

For the hand shaking thing, buy some CoC grippers and really work on your grip strength. You will see results quickly with dedicated training. They are even priced reasonably.

It seems...

I agree with RipStone, just put some effort and time into it and see how far you can take it. Be careful when switching styles though. My most persistant injury came when I switched squat stances...

I read that in preparation for his fight with Ricky Hatton, Floyd Mayweather did 5 hours of intense cardiovascular training by playing Wii Tennis.

When asked what he attributed his KO win over...

That's disgusting. The story, not the girl.

Geez, I read this a few hours after placing my order.

What's the reasoning?

I double checked my container of Body Fortress 100% Whey and creatine was NOT listed in the ingredients, or anywhere else on the package.

Not really sure what's correct, the website or the...

I didn't see that when I first looked at their ingredients. Thanks for pointing it out.

I just bought some Body Fortress today since I ran out of ON Whey and refuse to pay near $80 for another 10lbs. I WAS paying $45 for 10lbs. I saw the Six Star, but I chose Body Fortress because I...

Thank you very much for the replies.

I will definately go to the PT... and I actually already have an MRI scheduled.

As for my routine... since I can deadlift with no problem, but am now unable...

So last year I had injured my knee squatting. I had made the mistake of changing my squat stance and not reducing the weight and working back up to my current maxes.

The injury is in the kneecap,...

I find that my best squat and deadlift stance is just slightly wider than shoulder length, I don't have enough flexibility to go to parallel or beyond when squatting with an extreme wide stance.
...

Hey, I injured my knee a little while ago, and it's still not completely better yet. The good news is, after 2 months, I can finally squat light/medium weights without pain. Even better news, I now...

Who told your friend that the Total Gym is better than free weights? Chuck Norris? Seriously, like everyone else said, free weights are the way to go for strength. I had a friend that used the...

Thanks for the replies guys. I checked out the different bars you suggested... I would prefer to get the cheaper bar, the $129 with free shipping from Jesup's Gym.

It's still rated at 1000 lbs....

Hey, I just bought a home gym setup, and just for a quick fix and something temporary to workout with, I also got the Dick's Sporting Goods olympic barbell +300 lbs of weight.

I'm going to go back...
