    Dude, you have a book called Jesus Calling? So you're a Christian?? Me as well! I'm glad to meet a fellow Christian like myself, even if it's just online. A lot of atheists in this world are missing out. LOL

    Why do you lift?

    What did you mean by "preparedness"? Preparedness as in you're prepared to run away from a grizzly bear with great speed thanks to your leg strength? Something like that? lol

    Powerlifting program?

    Hey Christ, here's something you'll never hear from anybody but me... Doug Hepburn's training system. I recommend getting his autobiography, Strongman: The Doug Hepburn Story. In the last few pages of the book, he wrote the entirety of his training system. Great stuff... I just thought I'd...

    Why do you lift?

    Cool. Right now, I plan to train my lower body as an Olympic-style weightlifter while training my upper body solely for size and appearance. I'll just expect leg girth to come over time after actually strengthening my legs, functional hypertrophy or whatever you wanna call it. At the same time...

    Minimum Effective Leg Workout?

    If you want hypertrophy for the legs, you should look into Smolov Jr. Decent strength gains as well. My legs were the biggest back when I spammed Smolov Jr 4 times in a row. One week deload between the programs. What does your home gym consists of, exactly? EDIT: If you ever decide to run...

    Self Improvement Books

    I like The 33 Strategies of War more than I like The 48 Laws of Power. But I will admit that The 48 Laws of Power may very well be his best book. The 33 Strategies of War draws wisdom from Sun Tzu, yes. But it also draws from Carl Von Clausewitz, Napoleon Bonaparte, and even the ****ing Bible...

    Self Improvement Books

    You know what? Screw it. I'll just flat out say what they are. lol... For starters, the best book by the author is The 48 Laws of Power, followed by The 50th Law. Honestly, I'd prioritize his other book, The 33 Strategies of War over The 50th Law but it's a personal bias. The 33 Strategies of...

    By any chance, have you read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius? I read a few pages of it, not enough to decide whether it's worth the money or not.

    Self Improvement Books

    Send me a PM and I'll tell you the books that shaped much of my life. Honestly, I don't know if they count as self-improvement in a strict sense, but I guarantee you that they will contain the USEFUL kind of wisdom instead of the overly positive bull**** being espoused by a lot of idiots. They...

    Why do you lift?

    What exactly is the physique that you're aiming for? Or perhaps it's not so much physique as it is performance? Aiming for a bigger bench press, maybe?

    Why do you lift?

    Good answer. :) Back then, I used to think that physical strength and overall health were mutually exclusive, until I discovered an article that links overall vitality and muscularity. Now, my goal is to become strong today and in my golden years.

    Less is more VS More is better

    Less is more VS More is better On the one hand, we got guys who'd say "Recovery and rest are vital. Stimulate, don't annihilate." And then there's people like me and John Broz who adhere to squatting everyday. What is your opinion on the matter? And why do you believe what you believe? Thanks.

    Why do you lift?

    Why do you lift? I want you to take the question seriously and not just post half-witty one-liners. I want this to be at least somewhat profound. I expect good things from this thread... Me, personally, I lift because I'm convinced that nothing is more awe-inspiring than lifting heavy...

    Florida school shooting... Does he deserve the death penalty?

    Florida school shooting... Does he deserve the death penalty? I was thinking of just simply commenting on the semi-similar thread, but I decided that this deserved its own spot, so here we go... Let's talk about the kid who did it, the one who shot the people. Do you think he deserves the...

    Christ83189 back in it

    I did a modified version of it that got me swole a few years back. GVT is awesome. Anyway, OP, what exactly are your goals? Something specific please. What do you wanna accomplish? Like a bodyweight? Or a lift?

    I'm new here. Just saying hi.

    I'm new here. Just saying hi. Question... How do I set up an avatar? Anyway, I think an introduction is in order... Call me Zombocalypse. 26 years old, lifted weights on and off, gonna lift again very soon. Best squat was 405 pounds, Olympic-style with a pause at the bottom. Best bench...
