    Leg press v squats for non lifting sports

    this question has long interested me given my weak legs. My thoughts have also been pricked by the recent thread concerning 'the appearance of strength'.

    Slow Eccentrics for DL or Pendlay Rows a no-no?

    So we have been dis-cussing how useful the eccentric part of the rep is for most exercises. By most I mean exercises that primarily move single joints and definitely some compounds too. On the other side of the coin I am sure there are a few exercises where slow eccentrics would not be...

    Have a look at my PPL Program. Then post a good comment.

    A change of program is needed at this in my lifting shenanigans to freshen things up in the gym. I like the PPL program because I want to reduce volume per session but increase frequency and intensity as I embark on a lean bulk over the next few months. I have done my best to achieve a 2:1 pull...
