By Adam Bisek Let’s Calculate your Metabolism! Well, actually what we are about to calculate is your “maintenance calories,” that is the number of calories you would need to consume to maintain weight. There will be 2 steps in this process: 1) calculating BMR, and 2) calculating activity...

By: Matt Weik You have a hectic schedule. It could be due to work, kids, family life, social engagements, whatever. While we all know the benefits of exercise, there are times where we just don’t have enough time in the day to fit in everything and unfortunately, our workouts sometimes tend...

So we had a year where all the gyms were closed, so you think we would all be more appreciative and courteous once they reopened right? As great as it is to have gyms back again, I think some people have forgotten what it means to share a common area so I am going to go over some basic gym...

What is occlusion training? As Joe describes, occlusion training is blood restriction training. By forcing blood into the muscle and trapping it there, it prolongs the pump, leading to better muscle gains. It is important to make sure the occlusion band you use is elastic. Joe stresses...

Of all the intensity techniques out there, I have two favorites: drop sets and rest pause. Drop sets are a lot of fun and can take a normal set and turn it into a brutal one, but they have one major drawback: for many exercises you need two spotters to pull plates off. Now, if you have two...

If you've been doing the same old tired cardio day in and day out, it may be time to ditch the cardio deck. Check out these 4 cardio routines using weights! For some reason, people think the only way to think when it comes to conditioning is hitting up some form of cardio machine or doing the...

Roughly 4-5 weeks ago I started using IM glutathione as recommended by you all for liver support and to counteract negative S/E of superdrol. So far everything has been going well with 200mg/ml IM eod. I don't really feel any extra lethargy, loss of appetite, etc since I started using sdrol in...

Learn which 3 exercises are the best for building a massive back. Each exercise includes the proper performance technique and rookie mistakes to avoid. If you’re really after size and a whole lot more strength, the truth is, you’ve got to take your focus off the "mirror muscles". Having well...

For as long as ive been training i pretty much have always done single body part workouts only. My current split is chest and tris, back and bis, shoulders, legs, repeat. This has worked for me but now i am at the point where i really need to change my routine. I am in the gym 4 days per week...

The strength and conditioning world can become a bit polarized sometimes. Okay, not sometimes. Often. It’s easy to fall down the education pigeon hole that can make a lifter or coach write off any method that isn’t a conventional strength training protocol using barbells or dumbbells as the...

At first you'll love this tip, then you might hate this tip. Let me explain. Most of us want more grip strength. It becomes frustrating when a dumbbell starts to slip during rows, or we fail to hit a deadlift PR (personal record) because our grip gave out. And we're not supposed to use straps...

1. Weighted Push Up Using Smith Machine Push ups are a great chest building exercise. And with Kris’ first alternate chest movement, he introduces us to a way to make them a bit more challenging. Kris’ solution? Weighted push ups using the Smith machine. To set up for this exercise, position...

The old school thinking where building muscle is concerned is that it’s pretty black and white to see progress. Add weight to the bar, put the pin further down on the stack, and gun for the same amount of reps, and you’re golden. Though they’re not entirely wrong, it’s worthwhile to examine...

I support Men’s Physique and I honestly feel that these bodies represent an old school look that I like better than the new school of bodybuilding. I just wish there was more posing involved than twists and quarter turns. This guy had contacted someone not too long ago about a diet and a...

When people think of bodybuilding, those with no real knowledge of the sport unfortunately tend to think of one thing: Steroids. These people have real knowledge on human anatomy or physiology and certainly know very little about bodybuilding, and even less about steroids and performance...

The introduction of HGH into bodybuilding and pretty much all competitive sports has been a game changer. The positive effects it has on athletic performance, anti-aging and all around better well-being is nothing short of amazing. I want to take a moment this month to review some of the basics...

Insulin – Common Misconceptions and Frequently asked Questions by Mike Arnold Despite its relative simplicity and even though it has been in widespread use for over 20 years, insulin continues to be one of the most hotly debated and misunderstood topics in bodybuilding. Given the wealth of...

I can remember hearing about Mark Mcguire smashing the home run record and he owed it all to “androstene” (at least so we thought). So my friends and I all jumped on Andro poppers by Pinnacle nutrition and chewed them up like Tic Tacs, hahaha. Of course there was always protein powder and...

So, you have decided that you want to use steroids for muscular development beyond what nature intended. Good, me too! When I first began running gear I was a fairly lean 205 lbs at a height of 5'9″. I had put in serious work in hard training and adequate nutrition before the thought ever...
