Ok so I am thinking about removing my site from Tumbler and get it to a WordPress blog. I believe this is a wordpress blog right? If it is, may I ask where you got the theme? Thanks a bunch!

For pure compression it’s likely heavier weight gives the most compression.

I wouldn’t base that on anything though as the discs are meant to take compression forces — they’re just not meant to take them while the spine is in flexion or flexes during the lift.

Thank you. Last question: any studies out there comparing spinal compression (not shear forces) from squats vs deadlifts? I know Rippetote discusses shear forces a bit in his book, but I’m curious if a dead or rear squat offers less spinal compression… in the interest of longevity and overall health….?

Keep it the same. You will likely stall out a bit faster because your recovery is not as good. That is fine; just do a reramp up like you are supposed to.

How would you adjust the SS program for over 50 years of age? Same recover days intervals, and sets and reps schemes, or….?

[...] Since bodyweight strength training is not as hashed out well as barbell strength training, I do think this article is a long time in coming. See here for our barbell training recommendations. [...]

“We will talk about this more in the revamped “How to construct your own workout routine” which is next in the series.”

When will the workout routine construction guide thing be out?

Thx for the recommendation of Starting Strength, btw. It’s a good program and i’ve seen a lotta strength gain.
