    Honest Question

    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...

    Workout Intensity

    When you go to the gym, you need to shift the weight intensely to shift weight quicker and this means a lot of cardio. Try and mix it up so do twenty minutes on jogger, then the bike and then the cross trainer. This way you will get one hour of good cardio exercise and this will help you to...

    THE TRAINING INTENSITY TEST by Stuart McRobert * Most bodybuilders think that they train hard. Many may think that they are at the limit of their ability to train intensively. But, in reality, hardly any of them really train hard. Please don’t take any offense from the suggestion that YOU...

    Or the title could have read: Intensity vs. Sustainability/Consistency.

Upon reflecting on their claims, a...

    A question on Strength: Intensity & Volume loading

I was under the impression that for a strength based cycle, both the intensity and volume would increase as the weeks progress. Let's say for 4 weeks for the sake of an example. So the volume would start at...

    So you think you’re done with your set yeh? I’ve said it before, there is no such thing as a true muscular failure, except when we die that is. Only then your muscles and mine won’t contract, but until that moment arrives, drop sets is where it’s at for anyone looking to sky rocket their workout...
