What’s going on people! Just wanted to drop a line and introduce myself. Looking forward to being a part of this community. A little about myself : -36 -Always been into fitness and sports -recently on TRT in the last 2 years -always been interested in bodybuilding just never put the whole...

L-Ornithine is an amino acid that we can make on our own, but we can also get it through our diet. Therefore, it’s not an essential amino acid, but you’ll likely want to seek out foods or supplements with ornithine if you want to increase your intake. - 💥 Some research has shown that combining...

This crazy year basically taught me that I can live without sports. When they all embraced the BLM movement, I never turned them back on and even saved some money by dropping cable TV. I'm really not missing it. Is anyone else watching? Have you been to any games this year?

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...

We often hear that recovery is important for gains, however, there’s a few different reasons WHY that is the case. This study underlines one of those reasons. As you can see on the graph, it can take three full days for a muscle to recover to original activation levels. When a muscle is damaged...

I know several on here are the right age to have really enjoyed the Bulls dynasty in the 90's. Jordan was the most dominate athlete ever. Pippen and Rodman were the perfect complimentary pieces. And they had the best coach. The Last Dance is on Netflix now and it was really great to relive...

For non-keto-adapted athletes, intra-workout carbohydrate consumption can boost performance, but there’s a few caveats. First, strength athletes are likely going to get much less benefit than endurance athletes; most bodybuilding-style workouts simply aren’t limited by carb availability...

I tested hormones for the first time in my life. I have not used any hormones for 5 years Btw, I have completed around five steroid cycles (stuff: test e/p, eq, tren, winny, EQ, masteron,... ), but nothing for the last 5 years. I have been in endurance sports for the last 5 years. Before that...

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...

Sometimes we need to dive into anatomy books to figure out how to best isolate certain muscles. This case is no different. Many people have a hard time feeling their lateral delts during lateral raises and also feel like their traps are overpowering the movement. The traps don’t play a direct...

Many people want to know the exact amount of rest they need between sets. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all for rest periods. Your rest periods need to fit the goals of your workout. Typically, if you’re training for strength or doing compound movements for hypertrophy, you’ll want to...

Hey guys, is this a good place for a mid 30’s combat sports athlete to hang out and get advice? Many UK people on here?

L-Ornithine is an amino acid that is synthesized in the urea cycle from arginine. L-Ornithine can help reduce ammonia accumulation during fatiguing exercise which can help clear other metabolites that impact fatigue. Ornithine also seems to stack well with arginine and citrulline as these...

One major component of a successful cut is ensuring optimal protein intake for maintaining lean mass. For experienced bodybuilders, this could mean increasing protein intake to 1.5g/lb of bodyweight to maximally maintain muscle mass during a cut. In addition, increasing protein intake can also...

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...

unilateral lower body exercises induce greater core activation than bilateral exercises. This is likely due to the inherent instability of the movement which will cause greater oblique activation in order to maintain torso position. Using lower body unilateral exercises can be a great strategy...

Developing a massive and detailed pair of quads not only takes years of hard training, but it will also likely requires a healthy amount of unilateral work. Both lunges and step-ups have been shown to be more effective at activating the outer quad as opposed to squats. Therefore, unilateral...

Whey protein has been shown several times over to be the top choice for supporting muscle growth with training. However, many people have milk allergies that make consuming whey, well, uncomfortable. Luckily, egg protein has a similar leucine content and excellent digestibility ratings which...
