Frequent and Over-asked Weight Training Questions and Topics

Hello, everyone. As a long time reader of misc.fitness.weights and also misc.fitness (the original newsgroup), I have noticed that topics tend to repeat. I have given a simple 6 day cycle of what went on in mf and now in mfw. The real situation is slightly different, with some intermixing between the various days. But, hey!

A similar post was made a long time back in soc.culture.indian by someone about posts being repeated in sci. I have "borrowed" the idea from that article :-). I have also indicated some typical posts by some long-time, high profile posters. No disrespect is intended. Hope every one will take it in good humor! My apologies to the purists for being off-topic. Flames and comments always welcome.

Editor: Even though this was posted quite some time ago in the days of misc.fitness.weights, a lot of the topics still apply in forums today. Enjoy! Cal.
