That is pretty cool. I'll be sure to bookmark that for Anatomy and Physiology next semester. Joe G

Have you thought about seeing a Chiropractor? Joe G

Chthonian, I think it would be a good idea to avoid those kinds of lifts. My father had a serious problem with herniated disks (he had surgery). He does not use powerlifts anymore, he is also getting older, but uses many different exercises for legs but doesnt squat anymore. He has taken most...

If you dont like that advice. Cluster the set. Stop short of failure, rest a minute and complete the set for 15. Joe G

Theres no reason to avoid zig zagging especially if the weights you are using are too heavy. And really you really should not be going to failure on friday either. You should be doing your rep maximum. If I were you I would repeate the weights you used monday and go heavier on friday. Joe G

Don't get me wrong I love squats....But they dont rank up there with beer and an an orgy Joe G

Basically what is better 5lb. increments or 10 lb. increments for Single factor?

Hamma are you thinking this was Ahnold's way of luring guys with nice legs into the woods with him for a sleep over? haha Joe G P.S. I think that the author of the mag simply made that story up...

I just read the most outrageous and even ridiculous thing I have ever read in a bodybuilding magazine. This excerpt came out of AXL magazine (that I snagged from the gym today). " The governor Arnold Schwarzennegger had one of the most unusual ways of training his legs that I have ever...

So I am in my 4th week of Single Factor now... I definitely started conservatively and today (Monday) the weights started to get heavy. I have a strategy question for those of you that have ran the program before.... I have been incrementing 10 pounds from my last set of 5 reps on the bench...

Aaron, I havent had any problems with the thumbless grip so far. Do you think it is because I havent used any heavy weights yet (the most I've done so far is 205 for 5). Do you think that the thumbless grip will start giving me problems as I get stronger? If so I should probably try to change...

Aaron, What are your feelings about the position of the thumbs while benching? I feel more comfortable with my thumbs not wrapped around the bar. Is there any disadvantage or advantage to this technique? Joe G

That might be the most bizare thing I've ever heard I can relate in the opposite however. I think that if I am putting size on I think everyone else looks smaller than they did. Not me! Joe G

Firstly, If someone could explain thoroughly what it means to be in an Anabolic state. I feel like guys in the forum including myself use this phrase very often but don't truly know the meaning of it. Bryan has said that training the whole body with a frequency of 3 times a week is more...

It is great to expose your children to weight lifting. I begin weight training because my father competed in bodybuilding and I always fascinated with the way people admired him. And talk about forcing physics into that question that really didn't apply to anything...cmon... Joe G

Funguy, Dirty and Clean bulking does not refer to how many calories you are taking in. Dirty bulking means eating "unhealthy" foods. Clean bulking would be eating mostly "healthy" foods. For example a person who is "dirty" bulking will eat hamburgers, hot dogs, and...

DKM, Would it be the same if he trained 4X a week but only half the exercises each session? THis way he wouldnt get fatigued and wouldnt feel like he was reducing the amount of lifting. Joe G

If you train MWF with all those exercises itll probably take around an hour if your training alone. Which I dont think is too long. I had a lot of success in my first HST routine and I did the basic MWF routine. Fausto: What is vanilla? Joe G

Goodluck putting that into a calculater

I believe you want to have the amino acids available during your workout this is why you would want it absorbed quickly so when your in the gym your body can use them. Joe G
