I know the principle of overload when applied to compound exercises involving the large muscle groups but does it still apply to the same extent for isolation exercises? I would have thought that there must be a limit to how much small muscles can grow so overload becomes ineffective after...

Hey all,
I’m after some advice/tips on weight lifting belts as I have never owned or used one before and am not an experienced bodybuilder.
At what sort of weight do you start using a belt for your heavy compound lifts and does it stop you building a stronger core?
Any advice/tips would be...
A friend actually asked me this and I had no idea. Why are oral only cycles frowned upon, yet pro hormone cycles were a think 6-7 years ago? Why would running TBol for example be any different than running Helladrol back in the day? I ran Helladrol for 6 weeks with great results ran a proper PCT...
G'day,
It's been a while since I was on AUSBB. A bit of history: I'm 53, 84kg and been lifting for about 10 years or so consistently, but in the last few years (particularly afer my bike accident the frequency is now daily). I have only got back to doing squats in the last 9 months (re...

Looking for suggestions for my first cycle. My goal is to try and add some lean mass. I started a 500mg Test E cycle a year or so ago but copped an unrelated virus not even halfway through, had to start PCT early and come off.

None of us want to waste time trying to build muscle. And all of us know that the intensity of a set is felt near its completion rather than its beginning. Knowing this, it would be logical then to take advantage of this fact by extending the set at a point where it’s most optimal and most...
Hello...
I live around Sydney and I have started exercising with what I have, just to prove to myself I am going to actually do exercising, not just buy equipment and end up with a $2000 dust collector.
I been looking at the power racks instead of half racks etc for safety performing...

So we are always told compounds train every muscle bla bla.
Well finally went to a physio to get my fucked sholder looked at. turns out my bicep tendon is being trapped in the socket. But the root cause of it is my scapular has completely gone to sleep, it actually does nothing now. so weak...
I apologise if this has been discussed before but what is everyone's opinion on fatiguing a smaller muscle group in order to force the larger muscles to do more work?
What I mean is, to maximise growth in say the chest/pecs
a) Doing triceps before benching or
b) Fatiguing the chest with flyes...

Now im relatively inexperianced compared to the majority on there when it comes to the gym.
What I see a lot in my gym is people that do 4 or 5 different exercises for the same body part. Like 4 different variations of cable curls.
I see this as pointless but then again I have little experience...
