One of the challenges people face when they start training seriously is how to fit five-six training days into their already-busy weeks.
It can seem daunting to dedicate so many days to working out, and you may be left wondering how athletes and gym-enthusiasts seem to effortlessly cram in...

Hi there,

As a teen I was super healthy (rep swimming/rugby/body building)...

1. I see so many people who lift weights that worry they will lose a half inch from their arm girth if they take a week or two off training, when if they are truthful with themselves, they would actually get bigger.
2. If you?re a true hard gainer, one of the best ways to...

I know a lot of peeps here say "cardio pffftt!"
But, do we need sustained (12-15 min) aerobic exercise? Not talking about high intensity weights, but actual cardio at a sustained higher intensity for at least 15 minutes numerous times a week??? Sometin to do with the left ventricle or something.

Just thinking about Coleman and the comments made, so this comes under the banner of both bodybiulding and all strength sports.
Does somebody really need to work themselves down to a nub in order to create size and strength?

IT’S the low impact training that delivers high impact results. Skip your next HIIT session and try some PHA training instead.
WITH so many benefits it’s easy to see why High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is all the rage. Research shows it burns more calories than steady state cardio...

I have always taken 10-14 days to recover fully from a flat our session where I run or lift t failure. hence, I try hard to balance volume and intensity.
no one can really answer this; I think it...

I say frequency would win all the time over density. But first let me explain what I mean by frequency and how is it different from density.
Frequency is the number of times you train a particular muscle or muscle group in a week. Density is the amount of work, or volume of work you can squeeze...

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...

A full deck of cards would be ideal. Since the whole workout lasts until every single card has been flipped, you can go with fewer cards to shorten the workout, or use two decks for a crazy challenge. There are three steps you’ll need to repeat throughout the workout:

Which do you think is more important in getting the best results from a workout intensity or form?
You could probably make a winning case for each one, or the idea that they are equally important.I would probably say that intensity is more important when you’re younger (from 15 to 40 years of...
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...
We're told that speed has more genetic limitations than strength, so in order to improve on power; one may be wise to focus on increasing maximum strength to the highest possible degree. Brute strength is what we want. But wait a minute, that's not what the title of this thread is saying!
