    Squat numbers dont match

    @saurabhtopno42 my suggestion is actually to start with goblet squats, fix your stance and a good goblet squat will also help engage the back. Then maybe try some zercher's to engage the upper back and again get that engagement feeling. (also you stance). I'd probably keep doing back...

    Squat numbers dont match

    @saurabhtopno42 i have two thoughts. You don't get tight, your head and neck are bent over, not straight and strong. And you can see it later when you fold a little bit on one. Upper back strength is key to squats (strangely enough). Keeping it strong and in place. Get under the bar and...

    @prophecysocietyatlanta that's interesting. Along with the completely over prescribed esp when little and esp in the last 20 years or so.

    Wall-E Wednesday (diet discussions)

    What the problem is, I really don't know. But i have some good guesses that easily pass the smell test. I lost a ton of weight (150lbs) on low carb. Everyone who has tried low carb loses weight on it. Many people lose a LOT of weight rather effortlessly. But, they tend to go back to how...

    @swainkas yeah, kinda like how our parents and grandparents ate (real food, meat and veggies) and very very few of them were fat and obese. Makes you wonder

    Wall-E Wednesday (diet discussions)

    @727billin I have rarely (personally never) seen anyone not be successful losing weight on low carb/high fat. What is hard is staying with it because EVERYTHING (as you've noticed) is buried in carbs nowadays. And of course, if you go back to eating like you did when you were overweight...

    I'm pretty sure that Wall-E wasn't meant to be a documentary (I'm pretty sure Idiocracy wasn't either) but as anyone can see by looking around, we've got trouble. As is always pointed out, weight loss is about diet, but diet and life when you aren't 20 is a little more difficult. Buy in from...

    @beezyhonkelton Yep, me too. NOW I can give a pretty good guess of what I"m doing each day, but when I started, no idea and it was quite eye opening.

    I've just started making a plan (after reading the book). usually I just know what i can eat (meats, cheese veggies) and go to the store. But I"ve been trying this and making a plan for the week. (i'm the cook in the family). At the very least it helps me doing the shopping, I don't end up...

    @dawn16 1 day in a week or one week in 52 isn't going to change the average all that much. Live your life, enjoy your life. I think the hardest thing is coming back after vacation and getting back into the groove. Well that and making sure that your diet isn't really a denial of sorts...

    5/3/1 For Oldsters - Part 2 - Don’t abuse the “+” sets

    @marenity i've been running basic 531 for 8 cycles now. I figure when it stops working, then I'll look to add some of the cooler stuff in beyond 531. But why mess with it when it's working? I really feel that for me, the joker sets are about patience and willingness to not push it. I'm not...

    5/3/1 For Oldsters - Part 2 - Don’t abuse the “+” sets

    @timhieuvetrello great stuff again, thanks. I swear I read something in Wendler (or maybe just somewhere online) about capping the + sets. Even if you have more in the tank, cap them at 10 (or whatever is appropriate for you). I do this because honestly at 11,12, 13 reps you're starting to...
