​​Prior to 1993, the weight-room catchphrase “How much do you bench?” was loaded with subtext. It was actually a measure of how tough someone was. If a guy had a big bench, you did not mess with him. Then along came Royce Gracie in the early iterations of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, a...

There is just way too much talk these days about what it takes to be successful in a sport that involves picking up heavy things and putting them down. Usually, most advice is centered around which supplement should be taken, which training program will get you huge, and which diet will get you...

Powerlifting tips for bodybuilders. The myth goes that bodybuilders are weak, vain sissies who spend too much time lathering themselves in oil and mincing around in disturbingly small thongs, while powerlifters are a bunch of fat, macho idiots who spend too much time stuffing their faces with...

One reason Ostarine is so popular among bodybuilders and powerlifters is that it has some noticeable abilities to strengthen bones and joints. This is a very important trait, since athletes may run into such nagging injuries as forearm or shin splints, neck pain, joint pain, back pain and many...

Has anyone used the sling shot in their training to increase bench press strength and weight? If so what were your thoughts and do you still use it? BENCH MORE WEIGHT. The Original Sling Shot will allow you to handle about a 10% overload in the bench press while avoiding the pain that comes...

by Mike Arnold Of all the topics I have written on over the last several years, there are a select few I tend to return to again and again. One of these is stomach distension—perhaps the single biggest blight in modern competitive bodybuilding. Largely responsible for the destruction of the...
