    I just think older women find sex more affirming than younger women. A twenty year old thinks pretty much any guy will sleep with her and that doesn't indicate he likes her or isn't looking to take...

    Here's why I asked. I don't develop my own workouts, I use ones developed by professional trainers. But the pattern I notice is that there are six big compounds that everybody does more or less every...

    Sorry, I figured that is what you meant. I just didn't express myself clearly. What I meant was: do you always do the same split? For instance some weeks I'll combine horizontal push with vertical...

    You've been doing weight training a lot longer than I have so I won't presume to critique your workout, but do you really mean you've been doing the same routine for 20+ years? I usually change up my...

    Get on the scale, it might not be that bad. You probably didn't gain 30lbs on one trip.

    For an easy meal supplement when I don't have a lot of time I keep those cartons of egg whites. An 8oz glass (half carton) has 25g protein. It's pasteurized so no need to cook it.

    When I started out the biggest mistake I think I made was using too much weight. Because I was moving weights that were right at the edge of my ability all my focus had to be on just completing the...

    How do I wear this belt?

    I know this isn't the type of belt most of you would recommended, but it's the only kind my local sporting goods store had and I wanted to try one out. My stupid question is: Is the fat part of the...

    Funny, one of the reasons he said he was concerned about me was because I was tall. He said taller guys have a lot of lifting related back problems compared with shorter guys.

    This doc is a regular at our gym and appears to be in really good shape for a guy pushing 60, but I've never seen him do a deadlift or a squat (Of course I've never seen anybody else in our gym use...

    Thanks. I think I understand what you are saying: The belt makes it easier to keep you abs tight, therefore easier to keep you back straight. I guess I really just need to buy one and try it. Are the...

    Does Lifting Belt Prevent Back Injury?

    While doing DLs today at my gym a doctor I know called me over and told me I should really be using a belt if I'm going to do exercises "like that." He said he'd injured the discs in his lower back...

    The strategy I've found helps me is to use dual overhand grip for all but the heaviest reps. Then switch to the underhand for the weaker grip on the heavys so it feels less fatigued.

    Do you use the mixed grip? My left is weaker and it helps to put it in the underhand position.

    I'm not a SS guy so I'm not sure what that program says, but I prefer to warmup a lot more for squats than that. I do about 10 minutes on elliptical first. Then I hit 3 warmup sets of 40% X 10, 60% X...

    Read a book that described the phenomenon. Called it "muscular disinhibition" (I think, something like that.) Said it was the reason for doing backoff sets: you can do more reps of a lighter weight...
