		<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[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!
I feel like I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first person I ever saw use the phrase &#8220;strength is a skill,&#8221; was Pavel Tsatsouline.  His method of &#8220;greasing the groove&#8221; &#8211; repeating a movement pattern (like a pullup, for instance) very frequently throughout the day, but with very low duration/repetitions &#8211; summarizes this idea, and has helped a lot of people achieve levels [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you&#8217;re training, anything &#8211; martial arts, weightlifting, tae bo, Pilates, etc. -  it&#8217;s important to train within yourself.
What do I mean by that?
I mean, be fully present in your body, in the experience in the immediate moment.  Be as aware as you can of what you&#8217;re doing, what&#8217;s happening inside your body, and how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My response to a reader about my most recent blog post sparked something in my brain.  I remembered having read something about the difference between what I referred to as &#8220;goal&#8221; and &#8220;process&#8221; orientations.
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>

They want to record their weight.  Their bodyfat level.  Their heart rate.  Their VO2max.
They want me to record the weights they use.  The number of repetitions.  Their speed.
And that&#8217;s fine.  I&#8217;m happy to oblige.
But I&#8217;m not always happy with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I posted a couple of days ago about Mike Boyle&#8217;s claim that people shouldn&#8217;t do bilateral barbell (especially, back) squats anymore.
His reasoning is that the back is a bad &#8220;transducer&#8221; of force from the legs to the upper body.
While I disagree with this use of the word &#8220;tranducer,&#8221; we won&#8217;t go into that here.
Instead, let&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just finished reading James Carse&#8217;s book &#8220;Finite and Infinite Games.&#8221;
I can&#8217;t recommend it highly enough.  It&#8217;s incredibly dense for such a short paperback book (177 pages).  It might take a while to get through, but it&#8217;s worth the consideration and effort!
The  book isn&#8217;t strictly about &#8220;games&#8221; in the sense that we usually consider them, but [...]]]></description>
