    Abdominal Training Theory - Jeff Cavaliere

    Very interesting theory that goes against everything I've been taught. Have always been to exhale upon contraction pushing air from diaphragm allowing muscles to contract stronger. Today, I did as Jeff said in his video, and the contractions were just as strong as if I had done the opposite...

    CNS Stimulants - help CNS gains? Or just mask fatigue?

    CNS Stimulants range from Caffeine to the Amphetamine family. Probably someone with experience or from a medical background could answer this. Do CNS Stimulants actually improve CNS gains or do they just mask fatigue while they're active?
