A guide to drawing down your savings in retirement The approach of retirement should be an exciting time for 50- and 60-somethings. But when the issue is your finances — and whether you've saved enough to last the rest of your life — excitement can quickly be overridden by anxiety.

That calls for careful planning both for people already retired and those approaching that red-letter day. •Use the "4% rule" as a benchmark. business@latimes.com

How to Build Pure Strength by Jim Wendler Just so we're clear, either people want to do 5/3/1 or they don't. I really want to help people, but if they won't take my advice there's nothing I can do. Look, arguing about strength training theory is stupid. I've been training for 20 years, and this is what I've learned. A Powerlifter's Progress My best powerlifting accomplishment in the 275-pound weight class was a 1,000-pound squat, 675-pound bench press, 700-pound deadlift, and a 2,375 total. Today I have different aspirations. Philosophy 5/3/1 The core philosophy behind 5/3/1 revolves around the basic tenets of strength training that have stood the test of time. Basic Multi-Joint Lifts The bench press, parallel squat, deadlift, and standing press have been the staples of any strong man's repertoire.
