Like the title says I am wondering if there is any big podcasts out there that I am missing. I am really looking for some kind of professional angle. There are plenty of amateur podcasts out there but I would be interested in listening to some kind of podcast that include journalists or people active in the trade that can share their informed impressions and opinions of news in the Fantasy and Sci-fi world.

EDIT: wvlurker suggests we make a list. If it gets long/good enough maybe we can sticky it.

EDIT: Just a heads-up I am not doing the SS programme. As Rippetoe says, if you change the programme, you are not doing the programme and I am not interested in doing the programme in the first place. I am just using some of the ideas.

I've been doing a programme that uses some of the ideas from SS/SL.

In the programme I do 5 sets of Squats for 5 reps and 5 sets of deadlifts for 1 rep.

The thing is, I can't help wonder if I'm not short changing my deadlift development doing it that way. As such I am considering doing it this way:

Day 1 - 5x5 squats. 5x1 deadlift

Day 2 - 5x5 deadlift, 5x1 squat

My questions are these (having not read the SS book):

Is this a bad idea to begin

Got back into weightlifting 3 months ago after a 6 year break. I've always done the typical 3 day split bodybuilding style workouts, occasionally experimented with some German volume training, super set programmes, etc., but never really bothered to try anything advanced.

So, the idea of SS fascinates me, but it also seems a bit boring and I've never been a fan of working with percentages of 1 rm weight increases, etc. Instead I've come up with my own programme with more exercises and a different approach to the weights.

Me and my buddy will train 3 days a week with an A and B programme just like Starting Strength, but instead of increasing the weight every session or week, we will inste

I don't browse this subreddit a lot but when I do find an interesting AMA there's usually always one thing that irritates me and that is OPs replying with yes/no answers, replying in single sentence answers or similar MSN like sentence strings.

This subreddit is meant to give insight in to interesting occupations, personal experiences, famous peoples thoughts. The person doing an AMA has the chance to give us a window into a different world, a different life but to do so, you need to be willing or able to deliver the dirty.

I get that some of the people doing these AMAs might not actually be that verbose, well written or even particularly intelligent in private, but PLEASE, when you make

I've not begun building this PC yet but I want to cover all my bases. A former student I've mainly been relying on a laptop for my gaming which is nice because you can sit on your couch with the GF instead of being stuck at a desk. Upgrading to a stationary I want to be able to continue to play videogames from my couch and I want to hook the PC up to my flatscreen.

A buddy of mine insists that "normal" Televisions are not made for video games, which I call bullshit, since I have no problem playing console games on it. Yet he insists that I'll experience slow down or some kind of picture lag when playing "fast paced games". I would think that the 100 Hz makes up for this.

Is there any tru
