There are different types of fatigue, namely: Local Muscular Fatigue, Neural Fatigue, Neuroendocrine Fatigue, and Environmental Fatigue. For the brevity of this small article and its intended purpose, I shall focus my attention precisely on muscular fatigue and neural fatigue.

45 Degree or Roman Chair back extension machine?
I would like something I could do a bodyweight type exercise after squatting and deadlifting.
Can't afford a GHR as they are $500.

So I got these shoes recently and thought I'd share my opinion.
Unboxing - initial thoughts were that they look tiny. Admittedly I am only a size 9US (so these are an 8UK) but they looked smaller than all my other shoes and I thought they wouldn't fit but they're spot on.

For a little while now I have been doing some unilateral work once or twice per week focussing on my lower left side to bring up perceived muscularity and strength imbalances. This has gone a long way, and the visual difference is minimal now. I am aware that when squatting heavier weights...

Advantages of raised-heel squatting are very well discussed
Not a lot is said about long term usage and disadvantages, or the ideal usage circumstances
Please share your findings

I've been doing squats for about 6 months now. I always steered clear of them as I thought my form was all wrong, until my PT encouraged me to do them and said my form was perfect which gave me lots of encouragement to give them a go,
I started with 5kg each side plus the bar. 6 months later I...

Read something recently by a Cross-Fit bloke.
He writes you lose hip torque during squats if you let your toes turn out.
Same with fingers during pushups. Keep them facing straight.
Thoughts on this, anyone read this also ?
I for one would like to know how this tool used what tool to...
For the past 7 weeks I have had pain in my right shoulder, have not been able to press overhead and limited flat bench press work. The injury occured squatting. Now this week i have done the same to my left shoulder. ( I am half way through the Smolov base cycle, so squatting 4 times a week)...
I gave the wide stance squatting a good go but I am still far stronger with a medium wide stance.
So I'm going to buy a squat shoe. I don't want an Olympic shoes but something with a slight heel. I was thinking the Titan Safety shoe. I can't find a good place to buy this in Australia though...
So basically I'm new to bodybuilding and just wondering what the general consensus is with the EZ Curl bar, is it for pussies? If so then I won't get one and stick with the barbell :)
At my local gym my trainer made me use a thick foamy thing on my upper back for squatting, but after i read...

Ok listen up. This guide will give you 3 simple steps to achieving a body like Zyzz's. But understand that you won't look exactly like the original, there is only one Zyzz, but you can unleash the Zyzz within you.
The key to Zyzz was that he was aesthetic. That mean't he was shredded (low...
I've been getting pains while squatting around the groin area, all around, when i drop down into the whole, i sometimes get a sharp pain right in my leg just above my quad and around the groin area. I'm pretty sure the other day I strained it or something getting out of the car and since then...
