themusclephd💥This study found that using rest-pause sets increased muscle activation more so than traditional sets. Greater muscle activation is correlated with increases in muscle size (Wakahara, et. al. 2012) so rest-pause sets might help increase gains. Try rest-pause sets by performing a...

Load and Repetition RangeIf a set of repetitions is performed to failure, it makes little to no difference how much weight (load) you use. This comes with the caveat that there are limits to this. For instance, if you choose a weight with which you can do 30 reps, or 1 rep, these are unlikely to...

4 Tips to Make Short Workouts More EffectiveWhen time to work out is sparse, there are a few tips that can be used to ensure you achieve a training effect (i.e., get stronger, improve conditioning, build muscle) and reap the best results from quick strength training workouts. 1) Omit lengthy...

Training hard is more important than following a plan. And if you're losing motivation, it'll be more difficult to train hard. Someone who trains brutally hard with laser-like focus on a very basic plan will get better results than someone who trains at 80% on the best plan designed by man. The...

Countdown sets (10-1 method) are performed at the end of your workout to maximize workout density and push yourself past your limits. Here's an example using a dumbbell row: . • Pick a weight you can row for 12-15 reps. Do 10 reps with your right arm, 10 reps with your left arm. . • Now do 9...

There are many ways that we burn calories, but lifting alone doesn’t burn very many. And cardio is something our body gets better and better at quickly and we end up burning fewer calories at the same length of time/intensity as our cardiovascular fitness improves. For this reason, adding more...

The NBA season has begun and already two teams look to be head and shoulders above the rest. The Boston Celtics easily beat the Philadelphia 76ers 105-87 and the defending champion Golden State Warriors held off the Oklahoma City Thunder 108-100. The rest of the league will play tonight.

While volume is the main driver of muscle growth, it seems that not all reps are created equal. Reps closer to failure may be more effective at stimulating muscle growth for advanced lifters. Muscle growth specialist Brad Schoenfeld identified tension, metabolic stress and muscle damage as...

Drew Brees is 417 yards from Peyton Manning's all-time passing yardage record Eric Adelson,Yahoo Sports•September 27, 2018 One game at a time is the oldest of sports clichés. In one respect, the New Orleans Saints have torched it. Even before the season began, the Saints were looking ahead...

We all know that our time spent in the gym is for breaking down muscle fibers and that growth actually occurs outside of the gym when we rest. Yet, most people aren’t getting enough sleep at night to fully benefit from their hard work in the gym. We live hectic lives – I don’t think anyone will...

If you're prone to throwing up, 50% sets could push you right into the kingdom of the porcelain thrones. With this training method, you….• Do a set, pretty much to failure.. • Rest 1 minute.. • With no change in the weight, do another set. The goal of the second "set" is to try and get at...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have found that extended rest intervals between sets of weight-lifting could help with muscle growth. The findings, published in Experimental Physiology, go against the conventional belief that favours shorter periods of rest. The study highlights...

Smash Through Your Plateau Let me guess. You've been training your ass off and still stuck with the same freakin weight on the bar month after month? Aren't you sick of never adding any more plates? Here are a few ways you can smash the shit out of that freakin plateau and before you know it...

6 x 6 With 30-Second Rests . This is a great set/rep scheme for size gains. It's a scheme popularized by Vince Gironda, and one which he used with the very first Mr. Olympia, Larry Scott, and many others. It's based on a high training density (doing a lot of work in a shorter amount of time)...

Pull-ups are the ultimate test. They'll quickly tell you if your upper body is weak or if you're too fat. Suck at pull-ups? That's a wake-up call you should answer. Here's one way to do it. Twice per week, on non-consecutive days, do this simple workout: • Set a countdown timer for 5 minutes. Do...

by John Meadows • Too many coaches use universal rest periods for lifting exercises, like 2-3 minutes. This is a mistake. There's no value in taking long breaks with small muscle groups. Seriously, if you're winded after a set of 8 reps on curls your cardiovascular conditioning is a joke. If...

The rest-pause method works great with the leg press. Load up the leg press with your 15RM weight (the most weight you can lift for 15 reps) then get at least 25 reps in one set. How? By taking short 30 second rests. (Rack the weight during these short breaks.) So it might look like this: • 15...

By Nathane L. Jackson, RHN, CSCS Most of us would like to see greater muscle building returns from our workout investments. What if we gave you a way and it required you to do next to nothing? Seriously. Resting longer between sets is a key to greater muscle growth. Researchers from the...
