While some methods of training are tried and true, the truth is that not every training method works the same for everyone. Many people seek a certain physique for themselves, but sometimes their body just does not respond to the common types of training.

How do Tendons react to different movements and load ?
Most people like to talk about the impact that resistance has on muscles.. but what if we take a look at the impact it has on the other tissues ?
In this post, we dive into a little bit of material science and learn more about the...

Muscle of the Week is the Teres Major. We often refer to this muscle as a "helper" for the lats since it essentially performs all of the same actions as the lats. Therefore, any exercise that trains your lats will also train the teres major. Heavy carries with an emphasis on upper back tightness...
Just thought I'd share my experience so far with tren.
So I actually started with 30mg dbol daily and 500mh test e for the 1st 5 weeks then dropped the dbol and upped test to 750. . I did gain fast water weight as expected with bp headaches. .to be honest I didn't like the dbol...ran test at...

Go Heavy, Retain Muscle – You've been training hard while trying to gain as much muscle as possible. Now that you're on a diet you must give your body a reason to hold on to this new muscle. High-intensity strength exercises (70-100% range) are better than low-intensity exercises (40-70% range)...

Not happy with your biceps? Drop the heavy loads for a while and do 100 reps of empty barbell curls.
.
Most guys that struggle with biceps growth use really heavy weights and a lot of momentum to curl. Then they do reps in the low ranges and, ultimately, the biceps really don't end up doing a...

6 Reasons Deadlifts Are Awesome, by Charles Staley –
Although deadlifts might seem a bit "expensive" for some because they initially require a learning curve, and also because they negatively impact your recovery compared to other movements, no other single exercise provides as many benefits...
The lats appear to be a pretty even fiber type split, with around 50% fast and 50% slow twitch fibers. This means a wide range of repetitions and rest periods should be used and you should also (occasionally) utilize aids like lifting straps to ensure that your grip is not failing before your...

How to Lift with Bad Joints
Try these workarounds to keep you in the gym when you're feeling a little banged up.
Lift hard for long enough and you'll eventually have some joint pain. Whether it's the knee, shoulder, lower back, or wrist, something will probably flare up.
Now, you could pop...
t's common for people to only focus on bringing the weights up and forget to control the weight down. We have solid evidence showing this is not beneficial for muscle growth.

A Stimulating Rep is a repetition in which maximum activation occurs with a slow contraction velocity. Follow the steps on the infographic for maximizing muscle activation – both heavy weights or light weights taken to failure can produce high amounts of activation. Movement velocity will also...
Haha, this is pretty funny. I heard about doing this all the way back when I was in Little League. Looks like it hits hard, but makes the bat too heavy. The whole idea of cork is that it's lighter than the wood and makes the bat lighter.

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...

I've been thinking of doing a cycle of just anabolics, i.e, var, tren, etc. I've used the more androgenic ones in the past, and for whatever reason, my body chemistry just doesn't respond well to them, but I DO respond to the more anabolic compounds.
What would be some suggestions for a cycle...
