  • Won't squatting like that ruin your knees?

  • @johngiglia123

    Do you see them ruined? Then, evidently not.

  • Dear Mr.Kurz

    in your articles you say it is impossible to do the same exercise months on end because of plateau. Yet you also say it is possible to get to 500 situps. Explain.

    ps if Kurz doesnt say it i dont do it

  • @MrTembaS

    See the Science of Sports Training (available from stadion.com)

  • You say that because of your shoulders, pushups are hard for you. What has happened to your shoulders? An accident, or something you would contribute to your stretching regimen?

    I've got a copy of your book Stretching Scientifically, and I use it and like it alot. However, it was first written in the 90s, and references physiological data and experiments from as long ago as the 70s... Do you still consider your opinions in that book correct? Do you have any plans on writing a new book?

  • “What has happened to your shoulders? An accident, or something you would contribute to your stretching regimen?”

    @TheYtcomments

    No, my shoulder problems were not caused by stretching. For details read my answer to comments for No-Sweat Workout (October 22, 2009) at tomkurz.com.

    On the references: Actually, in the book I listed even older references--from 1950s. Do you think that human physiology has changed since the 1950s (or 1050s)?

    No plans for a new book.

    was probably the greatest wrestler EVER to grace this world..

    He would do sets of 100 squats often for 100 sets.. WOW

    Push ups (hindu style of course) 50 sets.. never found out how many reps he did.

  • Check out IZZYBARISH on his channel as he has great exercises. He's 62. Also, Roby Mitchell, M.D. is 55 & his channel is  DrFittt

    He had advanced prostrate cancer & treated himself. Very interesting man.
