		<description><![CDATA[Do you ever get bored in training? Do you ever get stuck and wonder why it&#8217;s so hard to get any stronger? Sometimes it comes down to repetition. You do the same things over and over, to the point that the monotony alone brings on staleness. You get stuck because you aren&#8217;t doing enough to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago, my buddy Bret Contreras wrote up a summary of John Broz&#8217;s training methods over on T-Nation. I&#8217;ve been following Broz and his athletes closely for the last year and a half, and he&#8217;s never failed to impress. Whether you agree with his methods or not, you can&#8217;t argue with his results. [...]]]></description>

These users, with the best of intentions I&#8217;m sure, gave me what I can best describe as &#8220;internet powerlifter squat advice&#8221;, which I found confusing.

For reasons that will become clear, Bob Peoples has been a huge motivator in the &#8220;just go lift&#8221; scheme of things. You see that he wasn&#8217;t shy of trying new and different methods [...]]]></description>

Once you get past that ideal range, more is worse. You can visualize this as an inverted U-shaped graph, with the ideal range falling into a nice hump between [...]]]></description>

Now I want to discuss what this means for fitness goals. We&#8217;re taught to fear overtraining from [...]]]></description>
