I have respect for bodybuilders, I say darkside leaning because they are more likely to use machines.

Meh, terrible Starwars/NF Theology in this thread. Globo Gyms/Mainstream Fitness are the Empire, NF is the Rebellion. Iron Trainers (Powerlifters, Weightlifters, Strongman and Highland competitors, and yes, even Bodybuilders)are the spiritual center of the rebels. That makes us Jedis. The Force is sound nutrition and Exercise science, the darkside is BROSCIENCE. You know who are the Sith? The CurlBros. BBers are very Darkside leaning, though.

Post a video either here or on rip's board. They have a SS coach QA section that you can post to with less fear.

Highland Games and strongman are my distant future awesome goals

I overthink before and after, second guessing causes me to zig and zag.

Lies. Maintaining consistency after starting is harder for me than starting. Starting is just a small woot.

Got out and lifted weights today. Yay,

Bench is bad for the shoulders and at heavy weight is the deadliest of the lifts.

I've tried that. Dozens, possibly hundreds of times. It's completely disheartening and awful, slow progress drives me insane....

Ugh... Total fail. Pass the cheetos.

I have a problem with artificial sweetener. If I drink more than 2 cans in a day with aspartame, I get wicked headaches. I can only get Pepsi One (Splenda) at one particular store. I probably should start using my battle log as more of a blog. I'm just going through a crisis of confidence...

Turns out I didn't get the new schedule at work. I don't think that the "Nerd FItness 6-Week Challenges" are good for me. They never line up with the ebb and flow of my mental sate, and break apart what needs to be a constant battle. I'm not sure I consider this challenge active. But I am trying to get started with some new stuff today... I've got to get serious about some MAJOR diet problems. I keep drifting back to Sugared Soda. I keep eating at McDonalds. I keep binging at convenience stores and vending machines. I'm probably only eating 2500 calories a day of decent food. I need to do low intensity cardio, everyday, just as I wake up to maximize fat burning. I think I can do it by using a mini peddler and watching TV during it. I need a daily workout routine that focuses on what my main lifting leaves out. AM: Leaning rows to balance my pushing with pulls. Planks to work on my core. Low intensity cardio. PM: Rows and Planks Serious Stretching I need to get back into the habit of not allowing myself to sit for more than 15 minutes straight at work. I REALLY need to at least use the stairs up the two flights in the morning. I need to pare down my lifting and just be consistent. I really think I liked my GSLP experience best. I'm gonna go back to it and see what happens.

I personally think that toes out is natural biomechanics and toes-in/knees out is putting unnecessary strain on the body

Trained at night yesterday. Got Eaten alive by bugs. Did okay. Gonna do a Sunday/Tuesday/Friday Schedule...

I'm in a similar boat about Power Cleans. If your problem with power cleans is the rack position, try power snatching. If you can't teach yourself either movement, keep DLing every workout as long as you can, then alternate with Chinups. This is a summary of Rip's official stance.

No, that just hits your core and your arms.

Because using hyperbole means none of your information has any relevance. Schuermann's causes a kyphosis right? Rip has given advice on free weight training with this sort of thing before. You also might want to get a second opinion from a doctor more specialized in sports medicine or has experience with weight training.

I very recently figured out why my deadlifts were terrible. I wasn't using my lats. At all. Now I actively pull the bar into my shins and scrape it up my body. WAY better.

My last video I got great results attaching the gorilla pod to this: http://www.diyphotography.net/stick-in-a-can-poormans-solution-for-3d-lighting Mine was 5' Tall in a bucket. I was making a bunch of these for my wife's product photography.
