I’ve written about everything from shoulder problems, to lifting heavy stuff, to nutritional strategies on the road – but in my eyes, nothing compares to my cutting-edge nipple training.

Incidentally, the inspiration for this piece – Steph Holland-Brodney – is running the marathon again this year. As with last [...]

Bill Hartman is one of the brightest guys I’ve ever met – let alone those in the fitness industry. I literally learn something new every time I talk with him – and he’s one of the guys I go to when something stumps me. Tonight, you can listen to a free [...]

Q: Eric - I bought your e-book on deloading. Thanks for it! I’m 57 and compete in WABDL. I’m going to do the high-medium-very high-low programming set-up you outlined prior to the 8 week precontest cycle you mention. What percentages do you use in those eight weeks? My next meet is June [...]

Q: Regarding your latest article, though this is good info, I think rounded back training is useful – especially when it comes to the ground combat sports. Sometimes you find yourself in very odd positions and you need to know your body and how it will function in those cases when you have to exert [...]

I am currently in the midst of my rugby season and have a few questions for you. My training schedule breaks down as follows. We play a match every saturday morning (80 intense minutes), train for 1 hour-1.5 hours Tuesday evening, Wednesday evening AND Thursday evening. These training sessions can be pretty tough.
I would like [...]

Thanks for your great articles and for the guidance you provide here.
I’m planning to buy your Ultimate Off-Season Training Manual and had asked a question over on EricCressey.com and Omri asked me to post it here:
I have enjoyed lifting for the past 30 years and now my 11 and 12-year-old nephews are training with me [...]

This article might scare you a bit, but hopefully it’ll wise you up, too. The sad fact is, most of us couldn’t do a proper lift if our life depended on it. Keep on lifting improperly, though, and you’re an accident waiting to happen.

Hey Eric. I just wanted to see if I could get some quick suggestions from you. I have been powerlifting for a little over a year now and absolutely love the sport. I had been training hard since 2001, but eventually training just to train lost its luster. So I turned to the strength sports. [...]

In about eight hours, I’ll be hopping on a plane to head to Ireland for a week. In my infinite wisdom, though, I’m going to complete a lower-body training session before I head to the airport - probably not the brightest thing to do when you’ve got a overnight plane ride ahead of you.

Q: It’s almost the off season and I can’t wait to start hitting the weights hard again. Just need your wisdom on a few things. I don’t fully understand the volume and intensity weeks. If I perform, for example, 4 sets of 4 for deadlifts on week 1, and the next week calls for 6 [...]
