Heavy negatives are great for growth, however, they’re basically impossible to do alone. If you want a new intense training stimulus while training along, give max effort isometrics a shot. Set up in a power rack according to the steps given in the infographic. From there, using just the bar...

What is an Anadrol Cycle? How much should you use? Well, this is actually one of the most interesting facts about Anadrol 50. You see, most steroids produce what we call a "dose respondent curve" which is a fancy way of saying "the more you use, the more you gain."
Anadrol is one of the few...

One variable of research that’s always important to consider is the training status of the subjects used. Untrained subjects will make gains of all kinds with pretty much any type of exercise – this is because exercise in general is a new stimulus to them! However, trained subjects follow the...

I often get asked what the optimal rest period between sets is, and in reality, it 100% depends on your goals and your time constraints. In a perfect world, 2-3-minutes between sets is the, "optimal," rest period for both size and strength gains. However, short rest periods can be great for...

Does lifting faster increase strength gains?
_
You often hear the advice of “lifting slowly” and “focus on the squeeze in the muscle”. _
Turns out this might very well cut your 1RM strength gains in half.
_
Performing squats with maximal speed in the upward (concentric) phase vs half the...
Muscles can produce much more force eccentrically than concentrically. Therefore, a limiting factor in strength performance is concentric force production - you can lower a weight but can't lift it! This study confirmed the specificity of strength gains in finding that subjects using...
What is a post cycle therapy?
A post cycle therapy (PCT) is a tool utilized by steroid users to aid in recovery when coming off an anabolic steroid cycle. It is comprised of numerous techniques and supplements to help with the recovery process, both physically and mentally. Hence, the majority...
This study found that 20-40g of protein post-workout was more effective than 0 or 10g at increasing protein synthesis in trained individuals. If gaining muscle mass is your goal, adequate protein intake is incredibly important - consuming less than optimal amounts of protein can impair your...

Beta-alanine has been shown several times over to benefit endurance performance and has even been shown to increase repetitions to failure in strength training protocols. However, the literature on beta-alanine having a significant impact on long term gains is inconclusive, but the short term...
This study found that using dumbbells during the overhead press was more effective than a barbell for increasing shoulder muscle activation. This effect was seen in all three heads of the deltoid and was further increased by performing overhead press while standing. Dumbbells appear to be a...
The recommendation of getting 8-hours of sleep every night is well-known. However, athletes and bodybuilders may need more sleep. This is due to the fact that athletes and bodybuilders are always recovering from one intense training session and preparing for another. The good news is that naps...

I read on here somewhere about super drol. I'm really thinking about injectable! It comes in 25 mg per ml. My thoughts are 1/2 an ml everyday. I have no idea as to length of time. I've red here that 3-4 weeks then gains stop. Has anyone used before? If so can you hook me up with some info?
Sometimes the best thing you can do for gains is taking a deload period. This study found that trained athletes increased muscle fiber diameter by 11% following a taper protocol. This method might be useful for the bodybuilder undergoing constant and strenuous training – back off of the weights...
Vitamin C is a popular antioxidant and immune system booster. Its antioxidant properties, however, make it unsuitable for ingestion around a workout. Antioxidants can reduce oxidative stress that accumulates during exercise. Oxidative stress may act as a growth signal, so reducing the amount can...
Athletes and bodybuilders require a much higher intake of sodium than sedentary individuals as sodium is the main mineral lost through sweat. A hard workout can easily cause 1-2 grams of sodium to be lost through sweat. How do you replenish sodium? Table salt is the best way, as sodium makes up...
When do you do cardio? 🏃
.
Your muscles store energy as a carbohydrate known as glycogen, allowing you to be able to carry out an intense workout as your glycogen stores are depleted. Refilling these glycogen-stores is one reason why post-workout carbohydrates are important.

Would anyone be willing to help me out with coming up with a new work plan? I’ve been on the 5x5 plan for over a year and long ago stopped making gains in both size, strength, & weight. I’ve always been a skinny guy but have managed to pack on almost 20lbs in the last year, but am still under...
