I have no dang idea. I work for UPS, could be the box moving there. I also lifted these past four years now (since beginning of highschool) and probably had poor form in the beginning. I could've also just threw something out of alignment grappling over the course of these past two years, not to...

Single-factor is just a lot simpler. You plan no type've deloading ahead of time. You just keep training until you hit a wall, then deal with the problem at that time. Supercompensation originally defined the typical once-per-week splits known to many bodybuilders and gym rats. The thing is, the...

Due to three herniated discs, I'm avoiding squats and deads now. Luckily, the herniations are minor, and as of now I have no pain shooting down my legs, which is odd. That being said, I want to still lift, but just avoid those two compounds, along with military presses. Can I still get...

Make a 5% jump each week if you hit all the sets and reps. There is no deloading or week off if you stall. Just try at it again. Should you stall, start by decreasing the reps on the warmups. Drop the heavier sets before your workset from 5 to maybe 2-3 reps, so you have more in the tank come...

Planned to do my own PT to get myself back to normal. :confused:

My problem isn't that severe. I mean, three herniated discs, but I think they may just be bulging - not ruptured yet, or anything. Some say there's no such thing, but I have no shooting pains down my legs or glutes so I think my condition is very minor. I plan to focus on some upper body stuff...

A hernia and herniated discs are different things. I'd get it checked out with an MRI if I were you.

I just got my MRI results back today...ech... Herniations (albeit slight) in: L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1 Oh boy. I'm screwed, huh? Nothing pinching the sciatic nerve or anything, no leg tingling or pain, but I want to be very careful. Should I avoid deadlifts, squats, and parallel-to-the-floor...

Why, yes...Yes I am. I also used to be Tom Treutlein, until they banned me for bitching about the chat & conversation board people. They're morons over there on C&C, so I had to make a new name. Before that, I was Legion Kreinak. What name will I think of next? Oh my GOD that was like a...

You're awesome. Thanks, man.

Any chance you could link to the specific thread?

Whey protein is a derivative of cheese, or so I thought. It's a dairy product. You're worrying needlessly.

They should make it so a cop has to pass it every year. That's a good idea. At least once every other. What is running shuttle style? What does that mean?

By the by, Aaron, where did you get those posts from Glenn Pendlay? Do you have a link to an original thread or article?

Let me first add that I do standing overhead presses in place of incline bench pressing. It's a very functional movement that is great for overall power and development. Doing them in olylifting shoes is all the more fun! Anyway, if you choose incline bench, do the first four sets of Monday's...

Ah, you gained my respect as well - you didn't get too offended by my harsh responses. Always a good sign, when someone can put up with a little pushing and shoving. Oh, the comment about being superior was entirely psuedo-arrogance. Sarcasm is great, especially when one holds themselves in...

Okay, so age is some indication of knowledge, now? True, you can obtain more knowledge and experience over the years, but don't discredit what I say since I'm 18. Unless, of course, you're afraid to admit I'm superior to you in every way. ;) Then keep refuting what I say and twisting things...

I ordered Starting Strength two days ago. Hoping to get it some time next week. Supposed to be a great read, that everyone can take something away from. We'll soon see.

It doesn't matter when. I thought this was dispelled long ago. Get enough protein in a day, and have a caloric excess. You'll grow. Get enough protein in a day and have a caloric defecit, you'll retain muscle mass and lose excess fat. It needn't be more complicated for anyone here, because I...

Have you ever thought that genetics aren't going to make or break a program, and that the 5x5 routine has been tried and true, working for numerous people for years on end now? 'cause maybe if you thought a bit more about that, you'd realize that you don't need to tweak it or complicate it, like...
