    Strength Vs Endurance

    Increasing strength is a great way to build muscle, but how much muscle are you building if you increase your 8RM by 2.5kg that month?

    Full range exercise versus partial

    We know the benefits of using machines over the barbell. more volume is required in barbell work because of the limited time spent under tension. An interesting study revealed that 80% received only half strength increases and fatigue using partial reps while 20 % increased strength by 100%...

    high intensity or high volume, which is best?

    Volume vs Frequency

    There is a school of thought that says that frequency of training is of greater importance than sheer volume e.g. if you do 12 sets for muscle group X once per week you will see a greater benefit doing 6 sets twice per week. I can see the logic in this in regards to being able to increase...

    Trying to improve my chin-ups from a miserable starting point (having just started a few weeks ago, I can do 4 full ROM chin ups, except for the last one which comes up just a tad short).
