How to incorporate cardio in to a barbell routine? @Robert - can you provide the specifics of your A/B split (set/reps/weight - rest period). I still think a reduced rest period could be the answer |

How can I make exercise more interesting? @jprete - losing weight (or more appropriately body fat) is something you can measure easily (scale, pinch an inch, how you fit in clothes) - where being 'fit' is a little more obscure. I would recommend setting SMART goals (S = simple, M = Measurable, A = attainable, R = realistic and T= timed, within a given timeframe) |

I missed a Starting Strength workout and squats are getting intense - should I change my schedule? it could be between sets or between workouts, both have to do with recovery |

I missed a Starting Strength workout and squats are getting intense - should I change my schedule? There's different ways to increase intensity, reduction of rest periods, increased weight, increased sets/reps....each person is an individual and needs to 'listen' to their body and adjust the workout plan as needed. |

What's at your Home Gym? Wouldn't that be true for many questions? like what is the best way to gain bicep mass? or what supplements are best for strength building? |

What is the best way to cool down after a workout? I guess that's a good point, if you 'cool down' to fast, there might be some negative side affects |

What is the best way to cool down after a workout? I currently spend 5-10 minutes at the end 'cooling down' - mostly stretching...it's after that where my temp is still high that I'm asking about |

When do you recommend using a belt for deadlifts? @Ivo - the belt, from what I understand, would support/take pressure off of my lower back |

Why do my legs hurt while jumping rope? @oshirowanen - do you have the same issue when running/jogging or doing jumping jacks? |

Why do my legs hurt while jumping rope? @Ivo - Jumping barefoot reduces the possibility of the sneakers/shoes causing the issue and the others are just meant to reduce the duration of the exercise or the impact of it. |

What exercises are good to build up to performing chin-ups? I think working on heavy rows is the most beneficial, but anything that works the lats will do - go heavy and don't get caught in the routine of doing everything but pullups...try every other day - pull ups, chin ups, neutrals...once you do one, you can do three |

How to compensate for a brownie sundae? Emotions drive most of what we do, the key is to use the right emotions (rewarding for success) and moderation to ensure that any negative potential is minimized short term and long term benefits are realized. |

How to choose a routine for building muscles? I don't disagree about a lot of information being on the internet, but I must be old fashioned, because I've found having a few good books helps - motivational also |

How to make cardio less of a chore @wdypdx22 - I agree about varying the routines and the impact...exercising is a lifetime commitment, good variations help in keeping it interesting and also helps with getting the body 'off balance' for better results |
