While this is kind of funny to watch, notice Joe said he jacked his knee up. I wish him the best but he won’t know the extent of this issue for a bit.

Choosing equipment? Finding a building? Designing the gym layout? No, there's a step before all of these things.

The other day I was sitting in my office working on the 2006 marketing plan and in busts Jim with a huge grin on his face and a handful of reports.

Here we go again... this time not alone, and with a bunch of "stupid shit"

This was a question I saw in a private online group. I thought I would share my answer here because this is one of those things I have been saying over and over again.

If you're a beginner or intermediate lifter, this probably doesn't apply to you. But for advanced lifters, knowing how to alter workload without changing volume might be a big help.

Since retiring from powerlifting in 2005, Dave has tried a lot of different approaches to his training. There's one clear winner.

If you want to get better, want to advance in the sport and become stronger, the number one way to become stronger above anything else is to align yourself and to start training with other people.

Can you alternate specialty bars for different dynamic effort waves? What about for different weeks within the same wave?

Two Questions: What is the biggest problem with the industry today & How do you want to be remembered

It's bulking time - Time to become a Savage!

I just made a video on how to get ready for your first meet. Here is how it really works...

This is going to suck.

Dave has responded to this question many times but, like the sport of powerlifting, the answer evolves. Based on the sport today, here are guidelines for expectations, performance, and how to design a program.

It isn't the number of competitions they've won or what degrees they have that can tip you off to who's good and who's not. There are three types of coaches in this industry and you need to be able to tell them apart.

Due to time constraints or an inability to recover optimally, many lifters seek an alternative to the traditional template. The question isn't whether or not you can use a modified split, but whether or not your results will be optimal.

In fact, they're not even a coach.

A few seconds could win you a hundred bucks!

If you're scared of a weight, you're not going to be able to lift it, even if your body is strong enough. This can be a serious problem if you're coming back from injury.

How's that elbow pain, forearm pain, shoulder pain? Did you tear a bicep? Do you think curls might have helped? Let's look deeper and see what might be going on.

I am sure many won't like the answer to this but it's about time people stop blowing smoke up everyone's ass.

Before the original Q&A, before the equipment, before the team, what was Dave doing?

Seriously, you’re killing me. It’s like death by exposure to stupid. Some days I feel like I should put on a hazmat suit before going on YouTube.

If people would take their heads out of their asses and set their egos aside, they would see that what Louie teaches has nothing to do with multi-ply powerlifting.
