At this point, I think the only way I'd get serious about geared lifting is if I thought it'd get me a 1000lb squat and I'm light years and probably 90lbs of body weight from that. As I get older,...

Lots of lifters will tell you to do weighted ab work every day. If you're losing lifts due to stability or having bike handling issues due to lack of tension in your abs, it's helpful to do that...

...I didn't post anything that remotely resembles the opposite of that. I said strength is the most general adaptation. It is. If you want a stronger "core", the easiest and quickest way to do that...

multiples of body weights are the closest thing to an even playing field we have. That's the only reason. It's obviously far from perfect but it's nice for a standard.

Conveniently, the point of diminishing returns for strength, in non-strength athletes like cyclists or runners, tends to come right at the point where getting much stronger gets much harder. For...

No, I am explaining the difference between training and exercise.

However, most commercial Pilates or yoga classes are taught that way, yes. I have no Pilates experience but a fair amount of yoga...

As much as I'm enjoying the banter about how I can't get through a Pilates class, let's look at this the other way. Can any of you guys squat twice your body weight? 1.5x? Those are acceptable...

There are diminishing returns to increased strength but they're somewhere north of a double bodyweight squat. As long as one understands that lifting is GPP and can't take priority over sport...

Solid post. Shoulder prehab is one of those things I wish I learned how to do years ago.

Core Advantage provides a properly laid out training program using progressive overload, it's just done with bodyweight. The majority of Pilates classes do not. That's my issue with Pilates, not the...

True enough. Although I did the fast bulk thing and I'm still trying to fix it...I need to be 175ish and lift as a 181 ideally. 10 or so lbs away from that right now.

GOMAD is absurd on the face of it IMHO. I don't see a reason to pack weight on like that, that quickly. If you need the calories to recover, fine, but drinking a gallon of whole milk a day because...

I'd highly suggest a good barbell program like Starting Strength. Don't do the gallon of milk a day thing, that's absurd. You'll train your core as effectively as possible that way.
