I've also noticed my sinuses are much clearer when I use the machine than when I don't. My only problem is that it rubs the top of my nose raw, and I get a lot of leaks when I sleep on my side. If I...

I'm usually in bed between 7 and 8. I get up at 1:30 on lifting days that I work. 2:00 on Conditioning work days, or 3 on days that I don't plan on working out. I've been surviving on less than 6...

I have to be to work by 4 am so when I have to work, I wake up at 1:30 in the morning to hit the gym by 2 am. I work 12 hour shifts and I'm usually exhausted by the time I get off work so early...

I just turned 46. Have worked out off and on for the last 8 years. I'm following the 5/3/1 program to increase my strength. It has been hard to do while also trying to lose 50 lbs. I got my weight...

5/3/1 is meant to be a barbell program to gain strength in the main lifts. If you are not following it as written, you are not following 5/3/1.

You can do some similar lifts with dumbells, but...

I got some free once with an order and took it if I didn't use any whey that day, but if I remember correctly, most protein powders contain BCAAs and glutamine, already. If I drink a protein shake, I...

Last week I was doing my 3rd week on Deadlifts. On my final set, for 1 rep, I was able to put out 10 reps. This week, I struggled to get my recommended 5 reps on the last set. Diet, energy, time of...

For the full program, I believe you need to read the book. You can go to the starting strength website for some demonstration videos and possibly a shortened outline of the program. I use Jefit to...

I did 5/3/1 BBB template with the BBB workouts reversed. That way I was doing heavy overhead presses and 10 reps sets of bench the same day. Threw in some pull ups, arm curls and tricep work and I...

I have worked rotating 5 to 5 shifts for almost 20 years. My biggest problem is sleep. I drink a lot of water at night to keep myself awake which makes me have to get up 2 to 3 times in the morning...

I believe they are supposed to be added after a few weeks, week 4 may be correct. You can do what you want. If you have been lifting for a while and have your dead lifts down pretty good. You can...

When I first read the title I thought this was going to be about lifting baby cows. :)

I've heard many people say that calf strength helps develop their vertical jump. I don't know how true that...

I had a set of plastic weights when I was in high school. It seems like I could fit two sets on the bar, but the bar couldn't handle 200 lbs of weight on it. Look into buying a used olympic bar and...

I also don't have a sled.

I don't worry too much about the conditioning aspect of it. I'm sure any cardio could help with your jogging up stairs issue... Since stairs are similar to hills, maybe...

Me too, but mine is only a 5 minute walk. My gym is next to our apartment complex.

At every gym I've been to, I've seen a machine that you sit in and push the arms down in a similar movement that you would use in dips. You can adjust the arms for a wide or narrow grip. The last...

If I remember correctly from the book, Wendler is pretty liberal with assistance work as long as it doesn't hurt your big 4 lifts. I just switched from doing a upper/lower split with my assistance...

When I do them, I like to combine all three. 15 lb for 15 reps of side lateral raises immediately followed by another 15 reps of the same weight for front raises, then I grab the 25 lb dumbbells for...

I work a partial manual labor job/partial desk job. Not all days are the same for me. When I'm not at my computer, I am walking all over the plant, climbing stairs and ladders, carrying steel bars,...

It looks like it is bent outwards at your lower back. Just a slight arch. I believe I do the same thing with my overhead press when I try to do the push that Rippetoe suggests in the Starting...
