    Stop your thinking and start your lifting...

    No one here is saying don't think, but there's a time for thinking and a time for lifting. Before you approach the bar, go ahead and think all you like (if that makes you feel better), however once your hands make a connection with that bar, it's business time. In fact, if you really want to...

    Are lifting straps for the weak?

    The direct answer is no they're not for the weak, unless you consider some of the world's strongest men weak! When you're lifting really heavy (relative to you) for repetitions, or you're holding a weight statically momentarily before moving it (such in a halting deadlift position with a...

    The Role of Unilateral Exercises

    I find this subject interesting, especially in light of the reality that so many of us may have limb strength imbalances due to a variety of reasons. I also believe that they have great relevance for many sports, perhaps not so much weightlifting or Olympic lifting. Like to see goosey get...

    Now reached an acceptable body fat % (~17%) so I'm looking to do a clean bulk of sorts and most importantly add some strength. For these goals keto is far from ideal and I've come up with a new eating plan. After some increased reading on insulin and looking back at previous eating plans I...
