Take a cue from old-time strongmen to build solid total-body strength and mobility.

Here are my picks of the most useful, most fun, and generally most awesome strength-related gifts.

Training a new weightlifter should involve the development of baseline athleticism.

What periods of development we can capitalize on, and what periods we must approach with caution?

The middle portion of pressing lifts is the most problematic. How do you get past these sticking points?

How do today's shoes stack up? We ranked them in five categories so you can choose the shoe that’s best for you.

Here's how we get a new athlete to approach the bar and simply set his or her back correctly without much thought.

Don’t fall prey to arbitrary movement standards that may not be appropriate for you. Train your body.

When preparing for competition, simplicity goes a long way. Focus on the big three (bench, squat, deadlift) for effective training.

These two phases may not be distinct to the onlooker, but they are as far as the muscles are concerned.

Just because we may have pumped a little life into weightlifting, doesn’t mean we get to trample on its traditions.

Only those who have undergone the competitive experience can efficiently master the role of a coach.

After resting and recovering with a deload, I headed back to the gym to tackle the daily training max.

Overhead stability, bar path, extension, and head movement are guide this initial program and lead towards all of the variations and progressions.

Wants to get all-around strong, steer clear of injury, and maximize carry over into strength sports? Front squat.

While athlete growth has been significant, the growth in weightlifting infrastructure has not.

It's easy to get caught up in the desire to make gains and forget about rest.
