We know that we have three unique muscle heads in the triceps. What does this mean for training? - 💥 This study examined multiple groups performing either bench press, triceps extensions, or both for 10-weeks and assessed growth in each triceps head. They found that neither the bench press nor...

The biceps have two heads, a short (inner) and long (outer) head. No matter what biceps curl variation you use, the short and long head work together to accomplish the movement. You can't "isolate" one head. But it may be possible to put slightly more focus on one region of your biceps over the...

Before we get into the nitty gritty of training any muscle group, it’s always important to review the anatomy of the muscle group as well as any agonist muscle groups. - The biceps, brachialis, and brachioradialis are the primary elbow flexors. The biceps are the only muscle that crosses both...

Every once in a while, we get a study that either confirms or helps direct bodybuilding practices. This is one of those studies. - These researchers found that eating every 3-hours was more effective at maintaining protein synthesis rates over a 12-hour period than eating a smaller protein dose...

We often hear that exercise can increase energy expenditure. Why is this the case? - 💥 Following a workout, our bodies typically consume extra oxygen (EPOC effect) as we need to spend additional energy to support recovery from training. With this in mind, different types of exercise can have a...

First, we want to make sure you train the triceps with full range of motion. The main function of your triceps is elbow extension. So let's train this movement pattern effectively by properly stretching and contracting your triceps on exercises like straight-bar pushdowns. This also applies to...

We often hear that recovery is important for gains, however, there’s a few different reasons WHY that is the case. This study underlines one of those reasons. As you can see on the graph, it can take three full days for a muscle to recover to original activation levels. When a muscle is damaged...

Only two types of people will be life-long lifters. The first includes those people who truly love lifting and have developed a passion for it. The second type includes those who are able to connect the benefits of lifting to what they truly care about most. For them, lifting supports deeper...

When we talk about tendon stiffness, we're essentially discussing how well a tendon can transmit force. A less stiff tendon can be thought of as a thin rubber band whereas a stiffer tendon would be a much thicker rubber band. Which one snaps with more force? The thicker one, of course! Adding...

How the type of cardio you do (and when) can influence your results. - There's good evidence indicating the interference effect is local [2, 3]. Lower body dominant cardio (specifically, running and cycling) doesn't interfere with upper body muscle development. So one effective way to program...

Many people want to know the exact amount of rest they need between sets. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all for rest periods. Your rest periods need to fit the goals of your workout. Typically, if you’re training for strength or doing compound movements for hypertrophy, you’ll want to...

Schisandra is a fruit used in traditional Chinese medicine. Schisandra is thought to have adaptogenic qualities in which it supposedly better helps the body cope with and adapt to stress. This hasn’t been overly replicated in research, however, a few studies do show that chronically stressed...

Hey guys, I am a long time competitor in a grappling based sport and in my thirties now. I’ve always been ‘clean’ but getting a little older and competing against juiced up 20 yr olds I am starting to feel a little on the back foot! If it was MMA then I am pretty against performance enhancers...

Hey everyone! Thanks for the help. I am experieneced in manking aas gear with oil. I am wanting to make Glutathione injectable at 200mg/ml. I see this at HRT clinics and such now. I bought a bottle and injected it and man, it lifted a depressive mood and anger problems I've been struggling...

Bodybuilders often employ short rest periods in an effort to promote gains in muscle size, but that’s probably not the best method. Studies such as this one show that using longer rest periods (3-minutes) is more effective for promoting gains in size and strength than short rest periods. This is...

A common concern in the fitness field is that high protein intakes can impair kidney function. Unfortunately, this theory has been based off of studies or clinical work involving individuals with pre-existing kidney disease. If you do NOT have kidney disease, it is highly unlikely that a high...

Muscle gains can also be specific to the range of motion used. This study found that quarter squats emphasized the upper thigh whereas full squats developed the entire thigh. Therefore, changing the range of motion in an exercise can be an effective method of targeting certain regions of the...

Research into nutrient cycling strategies is still in its infancy; however, a good portion of emerging literature is showing that carb cycling can be an effective strategy for supporting a handful of goals. Carb cycling simply involves rotating high, low, and moderate carbohydrate intakes based...
