For an effective lower-body workout with a serious dose of conditioning, it’s hard to beat the classic sled. Unless, of course, you’ve got a prowler at your gym. This very particular piece of equipment is similar to the sled—in fact, it’s a type of sled—that’s...
When you’ve been in the iron game a while, you begin to ask yourself some tough questions: How do I maximize size without sacrificing strength? How do I get stronger without getting injured? In short, how can a lifter have it all—muscle, power, and pain-free joints to enjoy the benefits? The...
When I flex my biceps, I have a decent sized gap between where my bicep ends and my forearm.
If I push on that area on either side it's not that muscular. Since my biceps aren't going to fill out that area, what should I be doing to make that area tighter/bigger?
I've been doing hammer curls...
So, I have fiddled with HFT before and I tend to believe from what little I know about physiology and observation of life in general that we respond better to HFT. That's not to say other methods don't work and this isn't intended to be an argument for that rather my experience and thoughts.

CrossFitters didn’t invent the farmer’s carry—farmers probably did. But CrossFitters have certainly embraced the concept of grabbing heavy weight in both hands—be it dumbbells, a trap bar, plates, or kettle bells—and walking with it for distance or time. And you should, too. It’s a...

What do you guys consider high reps ? 10-15 15-20 20&up personally for triceps I do 20&up everything else including flat and incline bench I'm trying to hit atleast 15 last night I got 20 on a couple sets. Preacher curls shoulders everything 15 and up this spring.
Would like to hear what you guys do on your average leg day workout?
I always walk into the gym and start off with leg extensions than hit the leg press hard. Issue is I feel squats are a beyoitch after leg presses. Does everyone do squats?

I think I have a small tear in my rotator cuff. I can't do any heavy weight on my left shoulder side, and my shoulder hurts often. I'm going to get it looked at by a doctor, but was wanting any feed back from others that have had this happen to them. And workouts that help to heal that area will...

Has anyone tried doing breakdown exercises? In case someone doesn't know Breakdown exercises is going from a heavy weight at a certain amount of reps and each set you go down in weight and do more reps.
For instance let's say your max curl is 50Lbs that you can do once. You would start at 40Lbs...
Can Fewer Sets Produce More Gains?
Brian Schwab May 04, 2015
When Dave Tate first read the title of my ebook, The Minimalist Method, I know he cringed at the sound of it and thought it was too gimmicky (thus the M2 name was born). The truth is there is no gimmick. Based off two working sets...
