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.

Mar 19	revised	How often should one take breaks when lifting weights for muscle size gain? edited title
Mar 19	comment	How often should one take breaks when lifting weights for muscle size gain? When you say 3 compound lifts, do you mean squat/bench/deadlift?
Mar 19	comment	What is the best way to train at the gym for weight loss purposes? @Kate More answers are always better; I'd be interested to see how you phrase similar ideas.
Mar 19	comment	How often should one take breaks when lifting weights for muscle size gain? 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?

Mar 19	comment	What is the best way to train at the gym for weight loss purposes? @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.
Mar 19	comment	What is the best way to train at the gym for weight loss purposes? @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.
Mar 19	comment	What is the best way to train at the gym for weight loss purposes? @GetFitChimp Derp, yes, I meant to write "weight loss" not "weightlifting". My bad. Thanks.
Mar 19	comment	What is the best way to train at the gym for weight loss purposes? @Moses I understood what you were recommending. I was and am still asking for a reference of any kind--blog post, article, book, study--that backs up the "fact" that cardio > strength training for weight loss, or more specifically that one should drop all lifting/strength work in favor of cardio.
Mar 19	comment	What is the best way to train at the gym for weight loss purposes? @Moses I would love a reference--even a reputable trainer--for the claim that one should do all cardio for weightlifting. But I agree totally with what you say about diet.
Mar 19	comment	Stronglifts - Why is my bench press/row progress lagging behind? My copy of StrongLifts says "You'll do 5 sets of 5 reps (5x5) with the same weight on every exercise after you've done your warm-up sets." on page 42. StrongLifts 5x5 is not the same as, say, Madcow 5x5, which is actually a 3x5 program. Pages 47 and 48 describe how StrongLifts changes to a 3x5 program only after two deloads on a lift.
Mar 18	answered	Should I stretch before doing pullups?
Mar 18	comment	Quick body development tricks This is vague--could you be more specific about your question?
Mar 15	comment	What is the best iOS App for tracking Starting Strength progress? I removed the "poll" aspect of the question, so this should be on-topic now.
Mar 15	revised	What is the best iOS App for tracking Starting Strength progress? changed from a poll to a question
Mar 14	comment	Gaining muscle with slim body type Shoulder pain from lifting weights indicates you should either fix your technique or see a medical professional to fix your shoulder.
Mar 14	comment	Is just a pair of dumbbells enough? That's a great plan, sounds like it should work, but everybody's different. Remember to keep your diet in check as well. How heavy are the dumbbells?
Mar 14	reviewed	Reject suggested edit on Cold and fever after doing extensive cardio sport?
Mar 14	comment	I am underweight. How do I gain weight and muscle? Equally good, no. Barbells are best for getting bigger and stronger. Why? Because they can be loaded in small increments, and allows for MUCH heavier loads than dumbbells (Why? It fits on your shoulders instead of making you hold it, and it has more space for plates.) If you have access to a wide array of heavy dumbbells, you could do a facsimile, but you'd be taking a big hit on the "priority" part of things. Your progress would be much slower. I recommend a barbell and squat rack. If you don't want to get a bench, do dips until you can do 20 in 1 set, then do weighted dips.
