The study can be found here.
Better get watching, bros.
There is this belief among many trainers that the 1 rep max is something sacred and should only be performed once or twice a year. Often we’re told that it’s “too taxing” on the body to perform a 1RM. Well, I don’t buy it.
I’ve touched before on how strength is the foundation on which all other...

Not really interested in theoretical discussion or what Ronnie/Jay do, I'd like to read people's personal experiences.
Which exercise best helped you to develop a particular muscle?
For example, "couldn't see any gains on chest/back/triceps until I started doing X".
I just want to know what your experience with rep ranges with respect to strength training, long term. As I am a bit stuck with my training.
Most popular beginner programs advocate a 5 reps to build a foundation of strength. This works well as long as there is linear gains to be made. Well...
I know that what I am about to write will piss some people off, but I’m an old man, 66, and don’t have anything to lose.
I also know that many people will disagree with what I am about to say and it is certainly their right to disagree.
What I have to say is only one man’s opinion, but it’s...

I have never been a fan of rep points , too much of a circle jerk
but i implemented it because some people are into circle jerks
but due to the problem is raises i have decided to give it the chop
reputation system has been taken off line
I've read many times about the benefits of 20 rep squat sets, and I've started adding a set of 20 reppers at around 60% of my 1RM at the end of my squat session. Needless to say they are fucking hard and get a bit messy. Oh well, no pain no gain.
Anyway, is it smart/sensible/advised/beneficial...

My chest area has the poorest blood circulation out of all the muscles in my body. Do you want to take a guess which muscles have the best blood circulation of all? That’s correct, my whole shoulder area from the neck all the way down to my front deltoids. Now in order for my muscles to grow, I...
