Whey protein before a workout?
"Pre-Workout protein consumption should play a more important role if your looking to maximally stimulate anabolism.

Front Squats - question about the Clean Grip Technique
I've been incorporating front squats into my lifting program, and have been using crossed-arm grip technique.

130lb/60kg novice powerlifter w/ questions about competing
I'm a short-statured powerlifter who has been seriously lifting for about a year.
