If you have blood pressure issues you should probably avoid valsalva.

Knee valgus is a natural reaction to a heavy load and moderate valgus won't hurt you. Elite level sportsmen and women showcase both under heavy load in weightlifting and don't suffer for it; in fact,...

Not sure if you mentioned a reason for it, but SS is 5 reps for 3 sets, not 5.

Chin up pal, this is a life-long journey and you will always encounter bumps...sickness, injuries, work. It's frustrating because you have a plan of doing X volume and gaining Y kilos per week, but...

The original iteration of the Texas Method was just for squats alone, so Kyle's experience does make sense to me. That's not to say it won't work for others, though.

I actually like the Texas...

You can develop absolute strength through selective training of fast twitch fibres, which won't give you lots of mass. All things being equal, somebody who has 'bigger' legs is going to be stronger,...

Fruits tend to blunt the insulin response compared to eating refined sugar partly due to the fibre content, though.
