People choose exercises for every body part, train them excessively, then wonder why they’re overtrained and not making any progress.

If you keep setting and breaking rep records, you’ll get stronger. Don’t get stuck just trying to increase your one rep max. If you keep breaking your rep records, it’ll go up.

Warming up prior to training is important. I usually recommend the following: 1×5 @ 40% 1×5 @ 50% 1×3 @ 60% Work sets

Single leg movements will reveal coordination, strength and balance problems in the body.

I can’t understand why someone wouldn’t want progress – even it’s just 5 pounds. It’s better than nothing. It’s progress.

If you’re really starting out with 10% less than your actual maxes, you can expect to go through 5-7 cycles at a minimum before you stall out.

Start kicking ass, and take out the crap that doesn’t matter. Start doing and believing in the stuff

This “me” time isn’t spent shopping, watching TV or getting on the internet. You’re spending it reinvesting in your body, building strength, and building character.

you don’t have to train maximally to get strong. You just have to train optimally.
