		<title>The Dieter&#8217;s Paradox &#8211; Research Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In introducing today's paper, I am reminded of an old joke/quip to the effect that "All that separates man from the animals is our ability to rationalize."   I'd add "And accessorize" but that's neither here nor there.  But the reality is that humans are able to do a wide variety of mental gymnastics in how they approach life.  Effectively, we appear to be slave to what psychologists call cognitive biases, ways in which we think about the present, past, future or ourselves that often lead us to make some fascinatingly bad choices.  This is a topic that many recent books has discussed.]]></description>

		<title>Are Upright Rows Safe &#8211; Q&amp;A</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Question: Are upright rows safe?  Googling yields tons of different results. What is your opinion on that? Answer: As always, the short answer is that it depends.  Mainly on how they are done and the person doing them.  Frankly, this is truly the only way to analyze if a given exercise is &#8216;safe&#8217; or not, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Isolation Exercise to Fix a Compound Exercise Stall &#8211; Q&amp;A</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a couple of different ways to look at this. On the one hand, it does make a certain logical sense that the failing muscle group is getting the largest training stimulus and that extra work would be overkill.   By that argument, your suggestion of doing more pec work seems logical at first glance since, in premise, it is your triceps limiting the training effect to the pecs during compound movements.  And certainly systems such as pre- or post-exhaustion have been used based on that logic.]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s the Proper Way to Squat &#8211; Q&amp;A</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The high-bar/Olympic squat is done with the bar held high on the traps and the goal is generally to keep the torso as vertical as possible; this is usually facilitated by wearing shoes with a slight 'heel' on them as this lets the lifter get the knees further forward.    The focus is generally more on squatting 'down' than 'back' in this style of squat and it's critical to push the knees way out and squat 'between the knees' (as Dan John puts it so simply).   A slightly narrower stance is also usually used (as this tends to have more carryover to pulling and the jerk in Olympic lifting).

		<title>Bodypart Frequency and Soreness &#8211; Q&amp;A</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You have discussed training frequency on your site and suggest that training a body part twice a week to every 5th day, what would you say if on that fifth day my legs are still sore and I'm generally fatigued, would you recommend waiting an additional day or so? Or just work through the soreness?]]></description>

		<title>Moving to Morning Training &#8211; Q&amp;A</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For reasons beyond my control, I have to change my lifting to mornings, rather than evenings. Not really pumped about it, but it's either change, or don't lift at all.  I've been looking on the Internet for credible information about morning lifitng (what to do, what not to do, in terms of nutrtion, supplements, volume, etc).  It's one of those subject where I FEEL like I know what would/wouldn't inhibit my progress; but there's a reason I've not chosen to do it in the past and it had nothing to do with the alarm - I just wasn't getting anything out of it.   Do you have any recommendations for my situation?]]></description>

		<title>NORMAN! Part 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So finishing up (for now) from NORMAN! Part 3, I'm going to talk today about some of the issues I've dealt with (or am still dealing with) in terms of training not only NORMAN but also in working with the two of them.  As I mentioned on Tuesday, dealing with a two dog household was pretty much more than a doubling of effort in terms of training because I had to deal not only with them individually but in terms of their various interactions.]]></description>

		<title>NORMAN! Part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So following up from last time, I had gotten a crate and other stuff to prepare for fostering NORMAN! at home.  I went back to the shelter and picked him up for the short ride home.  He was acting a little bit stressed in his crate but that's fairly normal.  The one thing I should have done in hindsight was kenneled ALFIE! so that I could let NORMAN! run around the house and sniff a bit.]]></description>

		<title>NORMAN! Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So in NORMAN! Part 1 I wrote up an introduction that you can probably guess the punchline to but I'm still walking you through this the long way.  In short, by sheer accident I had been in the clinic when we got a new puppy named NORMAN! with a messed up back leg.  We all sort of fell in love with him and I was the first to walk him.  I had been considering getting ALFIE! a playmate as it was and NORMAN! seemed like a good choice.]]></description>
