		<description><![CDATA[Chris at Conditioning Research posted a great entry about the different benefits of squatting and deadlifting.
What really caught my attention was this quote from Matt Metzgar, taken from a post on his blog:
&#8220;Toddlers squat constantly, but it is all &#8220;mobility&#8221; work. The squats are done for the purposes of movement, not for the purposes of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the most recent Exuberant Animal blog post, head of EA, Frank Forencich, offers us a compelling question to ponder:
Is &#8220;exercise&#8221; part of the problem?
Frank says it is.
Exercise, he says, involves sets, reps, forced movements in unnatural or limited planes of motion, etc.
I think he&#8217;s right.

The &#8220;Workout&#8221; Dilemma
For many of us, even the term &#8220;workout&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that time of year&#8230;or slightly past it!  Time to make resolutions.
I used not to be one of those people who made resolutions.  I wasn&#8217;t very goal-oriented.  I was more interested in focusing on the moment.
But sacrificing long-term planning for the moment, I came to find, is as misguided as losing your now-focus for lots [...]]]></description>

The article, &#8220;Association between muscular strength and mortality  in men: prospective cohort study,&#8221; says that &#8220;Muscular strength is inversely and independently associated with death from all causes in men, even after adjusting for cardiorespiratory fitness and other potential confounders.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t done a &#8220;cookie-cutter&#8221; weightlifting program in years.  Probably not since I bought Ross Enamait&#8217;s excellent book &#8220;Never Gymless.&#8221;  I think that was in 2006.
Since then, I&#8217;ve created my own training programs.  I&#8217;ve vacillated wildly between types of training &#8211; weightlifting, bodyweight, o-lifts, Crossfit and Crossfit-style workouts, rings/gymnastics, etc.
Too much stuff!

That is, whether you&#8217;re the type of person who likes to focus on the long-term (or short-term) definite goals, or whether you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>
