Over a year ago, a poll on the T-Nation forum asked the readers what their primary goal was. The responses were as follows: 20% wanted to lose fat. 18% wanted to perform better athletically. 37% wanted to build muscle. 23% wanted to get stronger.

6 Lost Lifters

I'm normally somewhat of a bookworm and science geek, although – to blow a little sunshine up my own butt – I have to say, I'm getting better at reading people. T-Nation has been great for me in this regard. Your ordinary trainer might be exposed to 20 different clients in a week, and a typical collegiate strength coach might encounter 100 to 150 athletes over the course of a week.

10 Uses for a Smith Machine

The Smith machine is the equipment parallel to High Intensity Training. On one hand, it's been called more dirty names than Madonna on a trip to the Vatican. On the other hand, there are those who vehemently adhere to it in spite of the fact that it's an inferior way to train. I'm about as anti-machine a guy as you'll ever meet, but I'm also open-minded enough to realize that as is the case with most things in life, the answer rests somewhere in the middle.

Overcoming Lousy Leverages: Part I

"I suck at squatting because I'm too skinny!" "My bench is weak because of my long arms!" "My deadlift will never go up. I'm just not built to pull heavy!"
