    John Meadows Programs

    Has anyone ever done these? I am following his programs now and making really good gains. My arms are now bigger than they have ever been! I am hoping that they hit 15 inches soon. I know it's not much but I always struggled with my arms. The arm workout I just did was: EZ bar curls - 3x15 to...

    never fear rest from weights

    bazza raises the question of how to know when to back off or keep pushing with your training. I have always taken 10-14 days to recover fully from a flat our session where I run or lift t failure. hence, I try hard to balance volume and intensity. no one can really answer this; I think it...

    Cumulative muscle fatigue leading to muscle growth

    Aim: 100 total reps done over a series of sets with the final sets requiring maximum effort. Maximum effort leads to maximum muscle recruitment. How does this work? Performing high reps with a lighter load close to muscular exhaustion will add size to your muscles. This is made possible due...

    Why You Shouldn't Grind the Weight (srs)

    I like how this bloke advocates perfect reps every time and to avoid grinding the weight (ie training close to or at failure) because it greases improper motor patterns, trains you to stop at the sticky points, and does not help to increase your strength at all. He says train 70-80% of your...

    do you think it enhances or decreases your workout?

When you think you are not able to continue positive movement continue to try for an additional five to ten seconds, but do not alter your body position, do not bounce, heave, jerk or loosen your form in any other...

    Failure not necessary for hypertrophy?

    Is failure necessary for Hypertrophy? There were studies that showed that stopping shy of failure is better. What do you think?
