What do people go by? Bro science? Lab test ? When it comes to igf? I’ve read people running 1mg a day… are they going by body weight ? I mean at 300lbs I could see that dosage , I’ve talked to people I’ve personally known and they’re saying yeah 150mcgs to 250mcgs is good .. but hey that one...

Rep Tempos Science - Some believe you need train explosively to maximize how many reps. Whereas others train with a slow rep tempo to increase time under tension. What's more beneficial? Swipe left for details on rep tempo science. - When gaining muscle is the goal, a range of rep tempos work. A...

Tren and the new mask mandates don’t mix very well. I refuse to wear a mask and people are getting an earful when the “Karen's” open their mouth.:moon: Everyone keep talking about science....the CDC stated that the virus can spread up to 18ft distances then quickly revised it back to 6ft of...

We often see bodybuilders performing a limited range of motion with dumbbell flyes. Why is this the case? - 💥 This study shows us that muscle activation in a dumbbell flye decreases significantly at the top of the exercise. This is because you get too great of a mechanical advantage over the...

Cupping comes from traditional Chinese medicine. It has been around forever and I’ve seen claims ranging from a treatment for mild pain to its ability to suck evil spirits out of your body. . To create suction, circular cups are placed onto the skin, then either heat or an air pump to is...

The lats are pretty similar to the pectorals in many of the variables mentioned on the graphic. However, the lats are closer to an even split between fast and slow twitch fibers. This means that the lats typically experience a little less damage and soreness when compared to the pecs and have...

People like to get hung up on the “ideal” number of reps per set when training for growth. Research has shown that there really is no “ideal;” you can grow in just about any repetition range as long as you train close to failure. Now, some repetition ranges will be better for improving strength...

Tony Huge and his test subjects gorge on sushi while sneaking in their regular dose of Insulin.Tony Huge is a man who believes that modern certified science has failed us – especially when it comes to innovations in drugs. Even more especially when it comes to performance enhancing drugs. Most...

The hamstrings are right around a 50-50 split between fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers. This means that a wide variety of repetition and rest period ranges should be used to train the hamstrings. In addition, remember to include BOTH knee flexion-based and hip extension-based hamstrings...

The main purpose of recovery is to replace what was lost during training. The main things “lost” during training are water and electrolytes due to sweat. The main electrolyte lost in sweat is sodium, and focusing on replacing sodium after training is extra important as the other electrolytes are...

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...

It is important to remember that a study finding almost always is an AVERAGE result of a group. This means that a certain individual on a workout or diet might have effects ABOVE or BELOW average. . People will use this as an excuse to why they don't trust science, claiming that they are...

The "bullshit asymmetry" principle, or Brandolini's law, states that it takes a lot more energy to debunk bad information compared to how easy it is to make a bad claim. . This is because debunking bad information means we need to look up sources and think actively. . Classically, we will point...
