Overtraining
Is anyone familiar with the mechanism by which overtraining causes mood issues such as anxiety, depression, irritability, etc? Is it hormones being out of whack, or something else? I've been poking around, but I am wondering if anyone knows this off the top of their head. Just curious.

So i know my numbers are nothing special compared to…

Hi, my name is Tim, and I'm a butt winker...
So a post from Iron Radio came up in my FB news feed this morning. It was about butt-winking during squats, and it had a video. I watched the video, and I LOL'd.

The Left Arm...

Within the last few months, I noticed what was not obvious to me before (but perhaps should have been) – my left arm is noticeably weaker than my right.

SL 5x5ers, what are you doing...
1) in between SL workouts? (cardio/other) 2) for accessory lifts, if any? 3) What are your goals? Just curious to see what other people are doing! My answers: 1) occasional running, only 5k 1x/2x week, depending on how tired i am from the previous day's SL workout... 2) on Workout B day, I am doing dumbell sidebends…

Lifting: “dedicated body part days” vs. “distributed days”
First of all, let me apologize in advance if this is a frequently discussed topic… I tried the Search first and couldn’t find anything to answer this question, so here goes. My current lifting program is a M-W-F lifting schedule, dumbells only, that I got from muscleandfitness.com. It looks generally like this (the ab…
