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...

My humble view is that deadlifts are overrated as an exercise, beyond their importance to powerlifting.
I tend to agree with this article

I also say this despite that lift being probably my best lift of the three powerlifts. as a...

It all begins before you approach your training session, and it begins in your brain. Will you be seeking pain, or will you stop your set at the first sign of discomfort?
Your brain tolerance for pain is going to be the deciding factor governing whether you push on or stop. Most of us believe...

This coming weekend, I'd be doing one exercise for the biceps and one for the triceps. These would include 100 reps for each muscle group, made up of sets of around / between 20-40 reps, depending on the rest time between sets and the load. Yes, an increase in intracellular hydration is my aim...

I find this subject interesting, especially in light of the reality that so many of us may have limb strength imbalances due to a variety of reasons.
I also believe that they have great relevance for many sports, perhaps not so much weightlifting or Olympic lifting.

We've all seen some crazy weights been lifted by some very strong Olympic weightlifters; I'm referring to squatting here.
You see a middleweight (75kg) weightlifter back squatting something like 290kg the way he just squatted 150 or 200kg.
Great so where is this post heading?

Yes the title is controversial, especially to the hardcore bodybuilder reading here. But this is not the powerlifting or Olympic weightlifting section of the forum, so surely, the people's interest lies first and foremost with muscle hypertrophy above all else correct?

Stretching, I don't like it, I think it's a waste of time, the only time I like to stretch is when I wake up, it feels good, it's relaxing.

Morning all,
Looking for a bit of advice mainly on how much I should eat.
Brief background, I have lost a 18kg of weight over 12 months and have kept it off for 6 months by training for triathlons, so lots and lots of cardio, now I am wanting to get a bit of size to me.
I am 173cm and 70.3kg...

When I was younger and involved in Olympic weightlifting, I had the coaches do all the thinking for me..., I just lifted what I was asked to lift. Coming to bodybuilding, I followed the same method, a method where you don't lift balls to the wall just because you feel like it or because you can...
