I'd say it's a definate myth. A guy that works at my gym was telling me about how he started training his nephew when his nephew was just two years old (I probably should have asked how, though .. haha). By the time he went to college he was 6'3 (taller than eitehr parent) and got a...

I'll try to explain this as best as I can .. I couldn't find a video. When curling with an EZ Curlbar, the place where you put your hands, when you're at the bottom of the lift, is higher than the place where you put the weights on: Kind of like this: ---^^--^^--- But then you curl it, and...

I feel stupid posting this, but as long as at least 2 1/2 lbs are on each side, whenever I go from top to bottom the bar kind of flips, which messes everything up for me. What am I missing?

Failure Training... I don't want a big HIT jedi to answer this, but I'm sort of confused on the point of failure training at all (in size and strength). Let's say you're on your 8th rep for something that you can do 10 reps on and you've already got a burn (so you've done a few non-maximal...

Bench, power cleans, squats .. in that order. I love getting really fired up and doing any of those.

What is the best massage tool for a reasonable price that I can buy online? Thanks.

I was reading through Poliquinn's site and saw an ad for a seminar on Myofacial Stretching. It basically said this type of stretching is extremely effective at reducing soreness, improving strength gains, etc. Well, I definately can't make it to CT for the seminar, but perhaps one of you guys...

I've been trying to pick the volume up and I don't think I'm overtraining, but I'll be a little more sore than usual now. Of course, I want to get rid of it ASAP. I do lots of AR lifting, use the spa, sometimes ice stuff, use icy hot, get plenty sleep, etc. Still, it wouldn't hurt if my...

Bis, Lateral Delts, Traps, Quads, Glutes ..though everything is small.

Well, I'm 17 and I don't want to get injured. I know you guys think I could still do ME Squats every week, but I have a couple problems I have to work around so that I don't have to stop my training.. I have bad lumbars, a mild case of sculleosis, osgoodschlaughter's(sp?) disease in my knees...

Thanks a bunch!

CoolColJ, can you give me a video of a Bulgarian Split Squat? Google and Exrx didn't give me much other than it seems sort of like a step-up. Front squats are also pretty tough on my knees..I was hoping there would be something that's not too bad.

Well, that still helps, but I meant by the spring season.

I'm trying to improve my speed by the Spring (Spring Season) and from running sprints recently I would say that my quads need to get stronger. I imagine you guys want me to squat, but I already do. I don't have great knees, unfortunately, and I took Louden's advice and went with a wide stance...

I have the same problem and was hoping there would be some kind of answer besides don't drink much before bed. You mentioned that you found some info about this .. where?
