    Wide shoulders with a matching and balanced set of trapezius muscles is just what the doctor ordered.

    Cumulative muscle fatigue leading to muscle growth

    Aim: 100 total reps done over a series of sets with the final sets requiring maximum effort. Maximum effort leads to maximum muscle recruitment. How does this work? Performing high reps with a lighter load close to muscular exhaustion will add size to your muscles. This is made possible due...

    Work hard play hard right?!

    90% of everything you read on bodybuilding forums centers around working hard, very hard! The weekend rolls by and some can't wait to really play hard either. So we've got 90% working and playing hard, and it seems the same 90% are wondering why they're not progressing the way they believe they...

    No one here is saying don't think, but there's a time for thinking and a time for lifting. Before you approach the bar, go ahead and think all you like (if that makes you feel better), however once your hands make a connection with that bar, it's business time. In fact, if you really want to...

    Release the tension in your hamstrings to relieve the pain from your lower back

    Tight gluteal and hamstring muscles can place a lot of stress on your lower back. So even though you feel the pain directly in your lower back region, its origin and cause is more often than not lies within your back side and hamstring muscles. I find a stretch is not enough, or at least not...

    Are lifting straps for the weak?

    The direct answer is no they're not for the weak, unless you consider some of the world's strongest men weak! When you're lifting really heavy (relative to you) for repetitions, or you're holding a weight statically momentarily before moving it (such in a halting deadlift position with a...

    “Hey, you’re doing it wrong!”

    Individualisation combined with text book technique =YOU! “Hey, you’re doing it wrong!”, so he tells you. If you’re an advanced or elite lifter, there is no such thing as you’re doing it wrong, and don’t let anyone (especially a coach) tell you otherwise. To illustrate my point, let us focus...

    Train your pain

    It all begins before you approach your training session, and it begins in your brain. Will you be seeking pain, or will you stop your set at the first sign of discomfort? Your brain tolerance for pain is going to be the deciding factor governing whether you push on or stop. Most of us believe...

    Bodybuilding is not what it used to be!

    The sport of bodybuilding has definitely changed, for the worse. It's no longer the sport that I joined back in 1984. If the immature behaviour displayed by well known bodybuilders, was to take place amongst some professional footballers, the whole organisation would go into a disciplinary mode...

    This coming weekend, I'd be doing one exercise for the biceps and one for the triceps. These would include 100 reps for each muscle group, made up of sets of around / between 20-40 reps, depending on the rest time between sets and the load. Yes, an increase in intracellular hydration is my aim...

    We've all seen some crazy weights been lifted by some very strong Olympic weightlifters; I'm referring to squatting here. You see a middleweight (75kg) weightlifter back squatting something like 290kg the way he just squatted 150 or 200kg. Great so where is this post heading? The point here...

    Frequency vs density training

    I say frequency would win all the time over density. But first let me explain what I mean by frequency and how is it different from density. Frequency is the number of times you train a particular muscle or muscle group in a week. Density is the amount of work, or volume of work you can squeeze...
