 Member 194, 3976 posts | There is no science, f**k science. The only science you should worry about is chemical enhancements. Lift heavy, eat big, train with other lifters = enough to worry about! | ||

 some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Everything is science. However we don't really need to know much about it as a good coach is lightyears away from what can be conculisvly prove about training by science currently. Or the advice from experinced lifters. If you like a bif of scinece as it relates to training get 'Supertraining' by Mel Siff,'Weightlifters Encyclopedia' by a guy I carn't remember, and 'The Science of strength training' by Zatorski. | ||

 enjoys the odd fag Member 563, 1029 posts SQ 210, BP 125, DL 230565.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Science behind strength is simple really- if you want to get good at squatting, then squat. If you want to build a big deadlift then deadlift. It is easy to start over analysing too much when mainly what is needed is hard work. Or so I've been told anyway  | ||

 Member 665, 30 posts SQ 160, BP 105, DL 200465.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Crazy to suggest that there's no more to getting strong than 'just squat' or 'just deadlift'. Learning more about your sport and how different people have achieved what you desire is essential for success. Here's some good websites: http://synergy-athletics.com/ www.exrx.net www.t-nation.com - half bodybuilder rubbish, half really useful articles. Check out eric cressey or mike robertson particularly www.performancemenu.com www.mikesgym.org - Mike Burgener's website.

I agree. Even the habitual routine-bashers on here follow a routine and a set of guiding principles, they just can't articulate them  'Just squat', for example, begs many questions: How many times a week? At what weight, relative to 1RM? How many sets? How many reps? What about assistance work? How often to change your usual workout? How should this be worked in with other lifts? 'Science' is only, at the root, the careful observation and testing of ideas. Like, for example, what increases strength. | ||
