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.

comment Are there papers about Starting Strength or Strong lifts?
As far as I know papers and studies don't really get written on specific popular exercise routines. However, linear progression is based on the SAID principle and supercompensation, which are good terms to research.

@GetFitChimp Not the only, but certainly two of the better.

@GetFitChimp My understanding is that the best ways to increase bone density are load-bearing exercise (squats, deadlifts, etc) and impact (jumping, running). The 65-year-old osteoporitic lady can be convinced like anyone else: by researching it, by taking my word for it, or by trying it.

When you say 3 compound lifts, do you mean squat/bench/deadlift?

@Kate More answers are always better; I'd be interested to see how you phrase similar ideas.

What program are you on? What's your goal--strength, athletics, appearance? How many reps are in each set? What kind of rest periods are you aiming for? How much weight are we talking about?

@Moses Calories expended is not the be-all-and-end-all of weight loss calculations. Nor is weight loss really what people want when they use the term. This article is just one recent example of the counterargument to your claim.

@Moses Until you provide evidence of some sort, your claim that lifting < cardio for weight loss is worse than anecdotal; it's a raw unsupported claim.
