I think you ought to consider doing some kind of overhead press. Athletes with predominately horizontal press work and no overhead press work are more likely to develop shoulder problems (according to Rippetoe at least). And since we're talking about Starting Strength, Coach Rippetoe believes that f...

Muscle attachments
When talking about muscle attachments, what's the difference between an origin and an insertion?

So why aren't we all doing it? Simple, because it's not easy! " Yeah that about sums up it up. Buy my sil...

I think it looks pretty good. One thing: I'm not sure how advanced you are, but as the deadlift weight gets heavier, you may want to do just one set, as recovery time is going to increase rapidly. I usually do a bunch of warm-up sets and then one work set on the deadlift, at the advice of some other...

It seems like we did more gymnastics in school back then as well. I asked my kids if they ever do any parallel bar or pommel horse work and I just got strange looks. When I was a freshman in high school, about 6 years ago, there was a mandatory 3 week session for gymnastics in PE class (PE also bei...

Like Rip said, just make sure to go a little below parallel, maybe a couple of inches. That way you'll still work the same muscles as an ATG squat (through less ROM), but you'll be able to lift more weight. I think the hardest part about learning to squat is getting that stretch reflex in your poste...

I saw that one the other day. What gets me about it is he’s not holding onto the bar but is instead pushing on it with his wrists/heels of his hands. Also, he’s looking down the whole time. I was surprised to see Rippetoe show such form. The force of his hands on the bar is not the only thing keepi...

Chocolate milk starting to catch on??? We were using it post workout 40 years ago. Tim Sorry Tim, I didn't mean that people are just now starting to use it, but I think that it's becoming more prevalent to the mainstream. This is just my observation, and I could be wrong, but ask most casual lifter...

For post workout I like Chocolate Milk. It's got whey, casein, and plenty of glucose. I think it's starting to catch on with college football programs as a post-workout recovery drink. Sometimes I like to dump some whey powder in there, to bump up the total from about 8 grams to 20-28. Plus it's rea...
