Jan 1	comment	How do I lose Weight when I weigh 345lbs? @Moses Eating Smarter (tm)??
Dec 31	comment	Less weight and more reps or heavier weight and less reps? @Informaficker that was an arrogant response. Please apologise to Popeye. It was his first post by the looks of it.
Dec 26	comment	Does the optimal hypertrophy rep range apply to tired muscles? Argh.. I misspelled it once and now my dictionary 'corrects' it to the other one. Noted and corrected. Thanks @JackP. Its not 'messing' around. It is a technique that combines bodybuilding and powerlifting training for great results in strength and size to achieve rapid body recomposition.
Dec 26	revised	Does the optimal hypertrophy rep range apply to tired muscles? hypotrophy > hypertrophy
Dec 23	comment	Arching the back during bench press Be careful placing PT's word as gospel. Most PTs have done a 10 week course (or less) and virtually know nothing). Focusing on a contraction of the torso (abs) would possibly bring the head up (which is the number one no-no) as you strain to push out that last rep. You should definitely keep your shoulders and butt on the bench.
Dec 19	comment	How is muscle repair affected by a caloric deficit? Could you estimate your calorie intake and give me your rough weight/body fat condition please?
Dec 11	comment	What are the trade-offs of weight versus repetition? I continue to be amazed at your insightful and thorough answers. Well done @DaveLiepmann. Serious question though - are you on the Starting Strength franchise payroll?
Dec 5	accepted	Body fat loss halted. Anyone have experience getting under 8% body fat?
Dec 5	comment	Body fat loss halted. Anyone have experience getting under 8% body fat? I'll give that a try - thanks @Smitt_3000.
Dec 5	comment	Body fat loss halted. Anyone have experience getting under 8% body fat? Interesting. Cheers for the comment.
Dec 3	comment	What is the scientific explanation for beginning weightlifters' ability to gain muscle and lose fat simultaneously? Absolute hogwash. I'm an 'intermediate/advanced' and I lose fat and gain muscle almost every week. So does pretty much everyone else that trains hard and bothers to get their body composition measured weekly. The fault is the premise of calories in/out being a simple chemical process. As for your discussion on different days having different results - I eat the same calories exactly every day.

Nov 12	comment	Trainer told me to do 5 sets of 5 deadlifts. Should I be worried? +1 Agree with @Greg. Answers the OP's question.
Nov 12	comment	Trainer told me to do 5 sets of 5 deadlifts. Should I be worried? @DaveLiepmann yes I agree with you. Doing what I do is very hard mentally physically month after month. For a novice lifter I would definitely recommend a 5x5 or 5x4 type program.

Nov 12	comment	Trainer told me to do 5 sets of 5 deadlifts. Should I be worried? Not sure where you are pulling this info from? Why can't I do 5 working sets?
