    Watching 4 minutes of erotica can increase subsequent performance on a 3 rep squat.

    From examine.com:Watching sexually arousing films (porn), or just being sexually aroused, can increase testosterone secretion in men watching 4 minutes of erotica can also increase subsequent performance on a 3 rep squat. The study can be found here. Better get watching, bros.

    Demystifying the 1 Rep Max

    There is this belief among many trainers that the 1 rep max is something sacred and should only be performed once or twice a year. Often we’re told that it’s “too taxing” on the body to perform a 1RM. Well, I don’t buy it. I’ve touched before on how strength is the foundation on which all other...

    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".

    Your Opinions on Rep Ranges in Strength Training

    I just want to know what your experience with rep ranges with respect to strength training, long term. As I am a bit stuck with my training. Most popular beginner programs advocate a 5 reps to build a foundation of strength. This works well as long as there is linear gains to be made. Well...

    - Low bar squat is not an exercise -

    I know that what I am about to write will piss some people off, but I’m an old man, 66, and don’t have anything to lose. I also know that many people will disagree with what I am about to say and it is certainly their right to disagree. What I have to say is only one man’s opinion, but it’s...

    20 rep sets

    I've read many times about the benefits of 20 rep squat sets, and I've started adding a set of 20 reppers at around 60% of my 1RM at the end of my squat session. Needless to say they are fucking hard and get a bit messy. Oh well, no pain no gain. Anyway, is it smart/sensible/advised/beneficial...
