    Atheists, perhaps it's you, and not God, who truly do not exist.

    Growth Methods?

    My goal is like everyone elses on here. Put on muscle. However I was wondering does it mean you have to go heavy or will the pump suffice? Can you have muscle growth with the pump? For e.g. I did legs this morning, usually squat, leg press, deadlift and so on, heavy for around 3 or 4 sets for 5...

    Muscle Growth Part I: Why, And How, Does A Muscle Grow And Get Stronger?

    In concept, weight training is a very simple practice. You lift weights, you wait a while, you do it again. You improve over time and eventually you are stronger and bigger than you were before. When you strip it down it's really quite simple isn't it? The problem is things don't always go...

    Which exercise has given you most muscle growth?

    Not really interested in theoretical discussion or what Ronnie/Jay do, I'd like to read people's personal experiences. Which exercise best helped you to develop a particular muscle? For example, "couldn't see any gains on chest/back/triceps until I started doing X".

    What Is The Optimal Time Between Sets For Muscle Growth? It doesn’t take a genius to realize that the more rest you take between sets, the more weight you’ll be able to lift when you do come back. This doesn’t mean that you should always take more rest between your sets… the right amount...

    AAS and Growth Stunt

    Do steroids really stunt growth by premature closing of growth plates? After much research on it, it seems that it isn't the steroid itself that apparently causes growth plate closure but when the steroid is aromatased into estrogen that the excess estrogen is what closes the plates. Makes sense...
