    olympic style lifting

    do you think it is okay to do olympic style lifting everyday? Just doing cleans, clean and jerks, bench press, squats, deadlifts. Nothing else. Or is that too much stress on the body where I could get injured.

    Getting motivated for leg day

    I absolutely hate leg day to the point where sometimes I skip it. It is really hard on my body and I get sore afterwards especially my upper legs near my grind. How do you get hyped up for leg day? Deadlifts and squats just take everything out of me like I've been punched

    I've noticed the past year more and more people working out at my gym who take their shoes off especially with things like squats and deadlifts. Is there something that they've learned off of social media where some Guru told him to do this or is it something else going on. What are the...

    hamstring training

    I don’t see many posts about training the hamstrings which are the muscle on the upper back part of your leg. Everyone seems to think deadlifts are the best thing to train them but I read a study that showed that leg curls are better. The problem is my gym does not have any leg curl machines...
