    How many of you record your lifting progress and how many go by "feel"?

    Carrying that little black book around in the gym or just grabbing that weight, seeing what feels right, and completing the set.

    As you get stronger

    Does the ability to recover increase in proportion to our ability to get stronger (more muscular)? please share your experience, only if you have been working out *continually* for no less than 3 years. i suspect we need to do less overall exercise to continue to even stronger.

    Steroids for Strength Sports: The Disappointing Truth

    Key Points: Many people think steroids make a massive difference in terms of competitiveness in strength sports. They are wrong.

    Easy flexible dieting

    This is what I use with my clients and myself Tracking macros and eating to them is near enough impossible to get exactly right. There is an easier way. Let's take a quick breakdown of what nutrients do. Protein - Stays static, 1g/lb or 2g/kg is fine. Eating more fills you up, eating less...

    Sldl rom

    What's the consensus with SLDL ROM; once you go past 45-50 degrees does the glute/ham emphasis all but diminish and move to lower back? Do people think it's safer to use higher weight and keep the ROM to 45-50 deg?

    Why You Shouldn't Grind the Weight (srs)

I have done my best to achieve a 2:1 pull...

    Squats are getting me down

    I've been doing squats for about 6 months now. I always steered clear of them as I thought my form was all wrong, until my PT encouraged me to do them and said my form was perfect which gave me lots of encouragement to give them a go, I started with 5kg each side plus the bar. 6 months later I...
