How To Squat
01/25/2009The squat is one of the best muscle building exercises out there. However, its also one of the most difficult to execute safely and effectively.
I recently read a good post by Dante of DC Training fame, who presented a good analogy for executing a squat. He described the execution as a similar movement to lifting [...]An End for Volume Based Training
01/24/2009Having worked hard for 6 months at the start of 2008 to achieve a lean physique, I was pleased with the results, hitting 5% body fat back in July. I decided to return to a mass building routine to try and increase my size and strength. голова болит секс голова болит секс
[...]Abs are for life, not just for diets
08/08/2008..I don’t train abs, I’m bulking up..so there is no point in building up the abs as they won’t be visible. Abs are always the muscle group to get missed out when you are concentrating on the heavy poundage.
Cardio for Weight Loss - Take it to the Streets
06/14/2008On my quest for a lean physique, I’ve tried many different machines for my cardio for weight loss workouts. - From rowers, to cross trainers, from exercise bikes to treadmills. And I’ve found that with any of these machines that I’ve used, the result has been exactly the same.
Developing a training routine – Part 1: Its All About the Angles
05/23/2008When I was new to the gym, I had no idea how to put together a training regime. A typical chest day would contain countless numbers of flat bench presses and flat dumbbell presses with a few sets on cables and the pec dec thrown in for good measure. However, as I have become more experienced I have learned to put a bit more planning into my exercise selections, ensuring that my routine contains enough variety.
Bodybuilding Advice – Keep It Natural
02/28/2008I was in the gym this morning, and a couple of pretty massive “Muscle heads” walked in, looking all psyched up for a training session. You know the type, XXXXL t-shirts, MC Hammer trousers, shaven heads and protruding bellies. They didn’t say much, simply walked over purposefully to the bench and started stacking on the weights.
Advanced Body Building Training Techniques
01/31/2008When I started out on my long and arduous body building journey, I built a training routine around exercises with a specified weight, set and rep scheme. I stuck to this religiously, simply executing the number of reps I had planned irrespective of whether I had more in me to push out a few extra. And, initially, this worked well for me. However, as my experience grew and my muscles adapted, I realised I needed some more stimulus to continue progress. And this is where I discovered advanced intensity techniques.
Bodybuilding Injuries – Learn to Adapt
01/29/2008I was under a barbell some time last week, forcing out some shoulder presses and I suddenly realised that Id gone for one rep too many. With nobody in sight to help with a spot I had to use a little body English to force the bar up onto the rack. Feeling a little tweak in the left side of my lower back, I thought nothing of it and continued on with my workout.
How Often Should I Train Abs?
01/24/2008A question many people ask is “How often should you train abs?”. And this question gets a wide range of replies. Many people suggest that the abs benefit from being trained almost every day, whereas others don’t differentiate it from any other muscle group and suggest that they should only be trained once a week. Others even believe that training upper and lower abdominals on alternate days will provide well rounded development.
Benefits of the Training Log Book
01/21/2008Until a while ago, I never used a training log book. I never thought that there was a need. I’ve been training for so long that I have quite a good memory when it comes to keeping track of weights and reps from workout to workout. And I’ve got through my years in the gym happily using this method. Anyway, I didn’t want to be carrying about a pad and pen in the gym when I’ve got some heavy poundage to be concentrating on.
