I:
- train combat sports (judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and occasionally wrestling, muay Thai, MMA and wrestling), though I'm very much still a beginner
- enjoy punishing forms of short-duration conditioning
- lift (poundages at roughly 175 pounds bodyweight: squat in the mid-200s, deadlift in the upper 300s, press just over 100, bench about bodyweight, so altogether nothing special)
- and sometimes have more time for reading than training, unfortunately.

What is a good metric for defining an ideal weight? @PaulProgrammer Strength work includes weight lifting, chin-ups, dips, and so on. For people that are out of shape, cardio can be strength work too. It sounds like about a third of your workload is strength-oriented, so keep in mind that the scale might not budge if you're losing fat and gaining muscle. |

Is this a good weight lifting routine for a 13 year old? @anaheim I can't help but notice that your Creighton Prep link doesn't support any of your arguments. It recommends strength training, including barbells, for far fewer reps than you claim to be safe. It also notes that there are no documented cases of weightlifting-caused growth plate damage. Its claim that athletes not lift over their head is a bald assertion with no supporting evidence. Freakyuser should note that lifting weights does not make trainees shorter. |

Is this a good weight lifting routine for a 13 year old? @anaheim If you think lifting is dangerous for someone the OP's age, write an answer saying so. I think you're wrong, but an answer is better than a comment war. |

Can't seem to do a proper bench press … any reasons as to why? What weights, reps, workout schedule are we talking about here? What are your other upper-body lifts like? Which form are you trying to mimic? What's going wrong, specifically? And if you don't know, then can you provide a video? Because others we're just stabbing in the dark. |

How different or “sub-optimal” is Deadlift if performed with reverse grip (both hands)? I've heard the palms-outward grip can aggravate or tear the biceps tendon fairly easily. |

Why Rippetoe's Texas or Mehdi's StrongLifts instead of Reg Park original workouts? @Mephisto I love chin-ups but omitted them from my workouts when I was doing Starting Strength because they aren't in the program, I wasn't as good at designing programs as Mark Rippetoe, and my goal was to gain strength and athleticism by following the program. If my goal was bodybuilding, I'd do something more like Reg Park. But there are a lot of good exercises, and no program can do them all. These days, I make my own programming, and that includes pull-ups. It depends on your goals. |
