Training for Power: Do I Need it and How Should I Add it to My Routine?
Whether you’re training for a race, an intramural league, or simply because you like to, improving muscular power can be a great addition to your workout regimen. First, jumping high and sprinting fast is cool. But really...

Mind-Muscle Connection
-
We often hear that it's good to have a mind-muscle connection. So to actively think about engaging the muscle group you are trying to train. But what does the research on mind-muscle connection actually show?

In a 2018 study, researchers investigated the effects of...

Why effort MATTERS for hypertrophy
Effort matters for hypertrophy, and if you think you can get away with no-effort based workouts, well... then you're likely not optimizing the efficacy of your training program, and probably 𝘍'𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥.
Don't get me wrong, there are scenarios in which we...

Metabolic Stress & Hypertrophy: do metabolites create muscle growth ?
In the current model of hypertrophy, and the mechanisms behind it, 3 are the "main" ways through which hypertrophy occurs:
1) Mechanical Tension
2) Metabolic Stress
3) Muscle Damage (which we've already seen it actually...

WHAT IS CNS FATIGUE ?⭕️
There are many myths surrounding CNS fatigue and one is certainly explaining what it is:
In fact feeling tired, sluggish, demotivated is typically misinterpreted as being CNS fatigued, but that's really not what's happening.
In reality, this type...

Most bodybuilders understand that the deltoids can be divided into three regions. Interestingly enough, research has shown that these regions can be further divided, with both the middle and posterior head having three distinct subregions. Therefore, the middle deltoid head plays a role in...
Muscles are made up of long cells known as muscle fibers, innervated by a nerve cell (neuron) which stimulates the muscle to contract. Stimulating the right type of muscle fiber can impact your physique!
.
One nerve cell can stimulate many muscle fibers to contract at once, known as a motor...
Shoulder pain? Do this today. Grab a resistance band and place it at eye level. Pull your arms out to crest tension in the band where it try’s to pull your arms together. This will force you to keep your scapular adductors engaged.
.
Now the band will try to also rotate your arms and point your...

A normal drop set involves reducing weight while performing reps to failure. The last set often involves a relatively light weight that might not always maximize fatigue in high threshold motor units. Going back to your starting weight for one more “set” to failure guarantees maximum fatigue in...

Grow Young with HGH
The most abundant hormone made by the pituitary gland is human growth hormone, also called somatotrophin. Growth hormone production hits its peak during adolescence. Most HGH is secreted into the bloodstream in brief bursts, and most HGH secretion takes place during the...
