Unfortunately this is not true. As someone who posts in here every month I get about 5-10 emails from remotes each month if I don't put that in. Sorry.

No he's not, he's blaming doctors for misunderstanding the medicines they are prescribing and overprescribing them, thus exposing a lot more people to addiction than otherwise would've been.

I don't find soylent appealing, and I think ultimately you're probably mostly right, but there isn't a lot of good science supporting your position. You touch on two really big debates in nutritional scientific community: &g

Totally fair, I'm more interested (and thought this thread was about) figuring out the optimal ways to do things, compliance being ignored. Considering compliance changes a lot of things.

I think you need both, I don't think it's an either or situation. I think strength is the most important thing for a novice, and then after that you need to add conditioning as appropriate for your goals (ie: are you just trying

I am not recommending a split, I'm recommending 3x5. I don't think there's a massive difference, but 3x5 will let you progress further without thinking, and 5x5 places additional stress on tendons much earlier in the process

by wdewind 12y ago
I think the point about power cleans is fair (although if you read the book they aren't really required, many reasons why you wouldn't do them), but the 5x5 progression is way too much volume way too early.

5/3/1 is a great intermediate/advanced program, but yep, agree SS for the beginner.

Not at all, but this was a thread about fitness not aesthetics. Overall I'd still recommend a few months of strength focused training before shifting into a more hypertrophy focused program. For a novice you're going to experien

Grip training is good, but I'm not sure it's necessary for someone who is untrained. You'll get a fair amount of grip training by doing deadlifts. Kettlebells are also ok, but pretty suboptimal. They are harder to increment

Strength training 3x a week. Why strength? Strength is the most generalized adaptation there is. Training to be strong improves every component of fitness: strength (duh), power, agility, balance, flexibility, endurance (all 3 types) and
