      Because you see fads come and go and certain patterns repeat, you know is pretty much all bullshit...with only certain principles and practices that stand the test of time and experience. The fitness industry is skewed and bias because of money imperative/coercion. Rip here has pretty much the strength part figure out. Not so much the diet part.

    Speaking of heartburn and reflux, what COMPLETELY fixed it for me is C-PAP machine. I had pretty bad reflux, especially overnight, from January 2008 to September 2016. The night I started using a C-PAP machine for sleep apnea, it went away and never returned. Not once.

    I am really learning a lot from your videos! I'm doing better at the gym, and as a beginner, when I've gotten stuck not able to get to the gym, rewatching your videos has helped me to maintain form. The gym wants me to pay a trainer 3x/week; by watching your videos, I've been doing great with 1x/week. Great work! Thanks!

    I agree with what Rip said, I pull so much more with oly shoes. It's more than just the heel; it's the full support that makes the big difference for me. My feet are very narrow and small so it makes it hard to ballance on the foot barefeet or in just socks or flat shoes. The increased surface of the oly shoes and the arch support makes the deadlift 10 times easier.

I also have pulled the heaviest I've done from the floor wearing them.

    Acid reflux?- When I do get it , seldom anymore, rink some milk or have a tortilla or some protein meat- these will give the stomach acids something to work on. As for eliminating the cause, drop 5 + lbs around the midsection seems to do the trick for me. - I have only popped a Zantac a couple times in the last year.

    Powdered garlic and powdered onion trigger my heartburn but fresh onion and garlic does not. I think its about concentration. Intermittent fasting with the fasting before and during sleep helped tremendously. Also Apple Cider Vinager with a bit of water and honey instead of antacids during a heartburn episode works for me.

      The Westside gang like an upright torso so that they can get as much bounce as possible out of the knee wraps and squat suit. Flat shoes work better for that style of squatting. However, unless you intend on competing in gear powerlifting federation's, squat shoes are probably a better option for you.

      it takes out a BIT of hamstring involvement.
      turns it into a tiny bit of a deficit deadlift. I've started deadlifting on a 1 inch platform wearing my lifting shoes. Makes the lift easier to recover from and studies show deficit deadlifts give slightly more hypertrophy.
      I have tight hammies, so I enjoy the stretch at the bottom and hope it'll loosen them up over time.
      It's not a big deal either way - I low bar squat, so it's not the end of the world if I lose 5% hamstring activation.
