The 70’s Big Chat is scheduled for this evening at 5:00 PM EST, and we’ll be joined by Dr. Michael Hartman again. Usually the chat is a free-for-all that is an open forum to questions. Dr. Hartman would take some questions regarding weightlifting and beer, and I’d answer things the best I could.

Today’s chat will be a little different. Today is a live Q&A about Dr. Hartman’s new e-book “The Next 8 Weeks…” that I featured yesterday. Dr. Hartman will be taking questions regarding this book, but I encourage any of you current or future weightlifters to join as well. We’ll also have a topic discussion on Weightlifting Strength vs General Strength. Come with questions or just to spectate, but it’ll be an informative session.
We'll discuss this in the chat
Some of you may be reading this and think, “Who the hell is Dr. Hartman?” For the sake of validating his Olympic weightlifting background to you, here is his profile from the new e-book:

His primary research interest focuses on the adaptations associated with strength training and conditioning; including athletic performance, strength-power training, overtraining syndrome and recovery strategies.

Weightlifting first, but I am still willing and able to give my opinion about beer.
Sound sweet, wish I didn’t have class until 9.
I was very surprised to see, that even two days after the superbowl – Justin has yet to pile on the Steelers! Someone is geting too much work done!
Roethlesburger cried in his locker after the game. That’s enough satisfaction for me.

Mother!@%$#@^$#*!!!
I got off work late and didnt get to sign into chat until it was ending.
This is a subject im struggling to understand and im very interested in.
Without relaying the whole chat can anyone elaborate on Weightlifting strength VS general strength?
Or send any links to something on the subject.
Justin – It seems there are plenty of people that 5pm doesn’t work for, I happen to work until 5 and won’t be able to join in these chats. Is there anyway to transcribe and post them? That and a video or something quick would seem like a quick and easy Wednesday post for you and I for one would read through it on my lunch break. I’m sure many of the questions we all would have would come up, especially in these topic-specific chats. Something to think about.
Justin, is there anyway that we can view the chat log afterwards or maybe you could post a couple interesting questions/responses for the ppl on the west coast that can’t attend the chat room. Just curious, thanks.
There is a way. I will post it soon (probably tomorrow morning).
