If you spend significant time on a computer you should consider a standing workstation. Why? Sitting with the legs bent in a chair shortens both the hamstrings and hip flexors. This leads to increased incidence of low back and knee pain. We looked into several models of standing workstations made specifically for computers and the price ranged from $700-4,000. These desks were ugly and obviously expensive. We found this pub table and chair at Ikea for about $200....

Weight gain in its essence is far simpler than is commonly believed—eat more. If you're not gaining weight, you're not eating enough. If you're serious about gaining weight, eating must become part of your training—whether or not you enjoy it is immaterial. Pictured is a single meal of 10 eggs, 1 avocado, 1 tomato, spinach, 2 oranges and 2 apples....

Having long legs doesn't make you exempt from deadlifting, but it does require a departure from what may be presented as correct positioning by literature produced by those who've spend no time in actual coaching settings and couldn't pick up a pencil from the floor soundly, let alone a loaded barbell. Long legs will demand that the hips be higher in the starting position. Attempting to lower the hips in order to increase the back angle as is often said to be 'correct' will result in the hips be...

The false grip on the rings serves two common purposes: one, it shortens the lever of the arms slightly; and two, it prepares for the transition of the athlete from under to over the rings, as we see in the muscle-up. Place the hands in the position in which you would want them for a ring dip and then lower the arms to find the basic false grip position—it will not be comfortable and it will likely take some time to develop the strength to maintain it....
