  1. chalk? or straps....

    A good argument I've heard for using straps is from Layne Norton. He does it during training so he can use an overhand grip to avoid bicep tears. He uses a hook grip at meets, but the hook grip can be very painful. I like training without straps because I find that by gripping as hard as...

    Sometimes taking a week off is good for progress. Gives your CNS a break and reinvigorates the passion for lifting. When I'm on a deload week all I think about is how once I get back to max effort days I'm gonna kill it. It takes years under the bar to build strength and Muskie it's not going to...

  4. Hanging out on the Westside

    I workout at a commercial gym. So far, i know how to use a db to set up the bands for benching. Is it the same manner for squat? What about deads??

  5. Hanging out on the Westside

    How strong should you be before adding bands to dynamic effort day? I just bought some elite fts minis and wanna give em a go in dynamic effort day.

  6. Hanging out on the Westside

    I'm picturing frank from its always sunny deadlifting and cannot stop laughing to myself. I'm probably the weak one here been seriously lifting for 2 years. Ran 531 for a year and a half and switched to west side. I'm 5'7 weigh 185: squat is 370, dead is 455 and bench is 325.

    Being process oriented vs results oriented and knowing the iron game is a lifetime haul will make anyone much happier and improve progress.

  8. College vs Trade School or nothing at all....

    Community college can also be a great jumping off point to university. Even if you're HS grades were not great if you put in effort and get a high GPA you open yourself up to more scholarship and grant money for university, plus yore halfway there for like a quarter of the cost.

  9. College vs Trade School or nothing at all....

    Do you have a general practitioner doc? If you have insurance get a referral. On college campus you can usually talk to someone for free, usually a psych or social work grad student.

  10. College vs Trade School or nothing at all....

    You need to talk to a behavioral counselor specializing in ADHD. There's no shame in that dude, we hit the gym to improve our bodies and there are professionals out there to help us improve the way we think and our relationship and use of our emotions. It's the gym for your mental state.

  11. Hanging out on the Westside

    I've been running west side for 2 months after 531 for the first 2 years I lifted seriously. Subbed for powerlifting talk and motivation.

  12. Toro Moving West(side)

    The cambered bar is a cruel mistress, I was always awful with it, but when I first learned to box squat that's all they let me use initially because I was a plopper and wouldn't sit back slowly into it. You not knowing the bar was heavier and still crushing it shows us how much of a mental sport...

  13. need help on putting on size

    You asked a really broad generic question, I gave you a similar answer. Add a gallon of whole milk to your current caloric intake you'll gain weight.

    What would the cheapest most bare bones stack be??

  15. Toro Moving West(side)

    Single leg stuff on the leg press is basically useless. I read a good Eric Cressey article on t nation discussing that.

  16. Testing 1rm deadlift each week?

    There is a difference between building strength and testing strength. Read anything about west side conjugate method, Texas method, block periodization, ect. You'll fry your CNS doing 1rm every week.

  20. College vs Trade School or nothing at all....

    The physical demands of the jobs provided through trade school are certainly a quality of life issue to be raised. Knowledge economy type jobs in the STEM (science, technology, math, engineering) where you most likely have more autonomy and do not face the physical demands most likely produce a...
