    Work hard play hard right?!

    90% of everything you read on bodybuilding forums centers around working hard, very hard! The weekend rolls by and some can't wait to really play hard either. So we've got 90% working and playing hard, and it seems the same 90% are wondering why they're not progressing the way they believe they...

    Sleep Aids

    For a restful sleep, I've got two ingredients to share with the forum. One is the sweet stuff, and the other is an adaptogen that would put a smile on your face once you get up in the morning. The sweet stuff? It looks like sugar, tastes like sugar, feels like sugar in your mouth..., so it must...

    [Article] Are deadlifts necessary beyond powerlifting?

    Do snatch grip deadlifts, this will force your glutes into a much lower position, which in turn would make your glutes as well as your quads and hamstrings as the prime movers as opposed to your back being the prime mover as is the case in your video. You have an incredibly strong back, and...

    Are lifting straps for the weak?

    100% agreed. Thank you.

    Are lifting straps for the weak?

    Please keep in mind that in the OP as well as in my other posts, I did mention the repetitions as being an added factor to the use of straps. Also the use of statics or the halting of the bar for a count. So this is not simply about weight weight and more weight, but the added effect the...

    Are lifting straps for the weak?

    We both agree that lifting more weight makes one stronger. The straps allows one to lift more weight, hence their use contributes to making one stronger. I believe you said it yourself below... There, we're on the same page Sir. Actually you may have hit the nail right on its head ....let me...

    Are lifting straps for the weak?

    This isn't about Fadi and Andy, this is about having a fruitful discussion, which incidently you're welcome to participate in should you choose to do so. If I wrote something you disagree with, then please point it out, perchance I might learn something new from you Sir. Thank you.

    Are lifting straps for the weak?

    You make a great and valid statement Andy. Now to your question of whether it's wise or not to add weight to the bar. I say it depends on the lifter and what he's trying to achieve by lifting in the first place. If strength matters, then adding weight to the bar matters. Therefore if the only...

    [Article] Are deadlifts necessary beyond powerlifting?

    They're currently my medicine of choice...., slowly but surely, allowing me to regain strength in my lower back, whilst simultaneously strengthening the myriad of muscles needed to perform the lift successfully.

    Stop your thinking and start your lifting...

    No one here is saying don't think, but there's a time for thinking and a time for lifting. Before you approach the bar, go ahead and think all you like (if that makes you feel better), however once your hands make a connection with that bar, it's business time. In fact, if you really want to...

    Worded perfectly and the message is simple, yet loud and clear for anyone with understanding. I particularly like this bit right here: Thank you Tim.

    They need to be when you go against Flex Lewis, yet another man with incredibly well developed arms...,and possibly one of the (if not the) best forearms in the business.

    Status of N-CarbamylGlutamate

    As far as the detoxification of ammonia goes, your friend would be Citrulline. And if you are into juicing (and I don't mean steroids), the juicing of water melon rind is where the maximum level of Citrulline lies. Funny, we throw this part away and eat the red bit, when the real benefit is in...

    Release the tension in your hamstrings to relieve the pain from your lower back

    Tight gluteal and hamstring muscles can place a lot of stress on your lower back. So even though you feel the pain directly in your lower back region, its origin and cause is more often than not lies within your back side and hamstring muscles. I find a stretch is not enough, or at least not...

    Are lifting straps for the weak?

    Not only it is not detrimental Adrian, it's actually beneficial. Please keep in mind what I said in the OP. I mentioned reps and the holding of static positions. To do reps would by default suggest that the lifter is not going beyond what he's capable of lifting. The use of the straps here is...

    [Article] Are deadlifts necessary beyond powerlifting?

    Some work around injuries, whilst others find healing within a particular exercise. Therefore I wouldn't (or am not) recommending what I'm doing with my clean deadlifts to anyone else here or elsewhere. Each to his own.
