Many people seem to have a limited understanding of percentages in strength training. I received numerous comments from keyboard coaches who were certain that 10 reps with a 45 lb bar was "too much work" for a lifter with a 500 lb max squat.

When working with linear progressions, we often add weight week over week without realizing that the intensity has surpassed our recovery ability. Signs like lingering soreness, slight pulls and strains, and significant form breakdown indicate that you've overstepped.

Because of the excitement surrounding the world record squat and of course Dr. Hatfield’s unique approach – many are of the belief that he created this specialty bar. Those individuals would be incorrect.

How to properly warm up for big lifts in the weight room is often debated. Some people think a warm-up should be complex, incorporating intricate mobility drills. Others take an old-school approach.

This week has been slammed with club submissions to the 1000 lb CLUB. A total of 17 new members from around the world secured their official spots.

When many think of mid-life fitness, they envision maintaining health or training for a 5k run. Few anticipate a 45-year-old setting personal records in the gym that would impress younger lifters.
