    Steroids for Strength Sports: The Disappointing Truth

    Key Points: Many people think steroids make a massive difference in terms of competitiveness in strength sports. They are wrong. Other people (somehow) think that steroids don’t make much of a difference. They are also wrong. Steroids DO help people gain muscle mass and absolute strength at a...

    Stiff-legged/romanian deads

    Need the D!

    Right, I've created a whole new account for this rant, because it's somewhat...personal. How the fudge do I meet a dude who's into the training lifestyle as much as I am? Because that's what it is. A style of life. I don't want to be dating someone who just doesn't get it, and constantly tries...

    What type of mince you buy?

    As the title demands, when you go to the shops and need to grab some mince, what type do you buy? The cost differences between the different types is phenomenal yet when you look at the product who can actually tell the difference! Vote away and say something if you like.

    Squats are getting me down

    I've been doing squats for about 6 months now. I always steered clear of them as I thought my form was all wrong, until my PT encouraged me to do them and said my form was perfect which gave me lots of encouragement to give them a go, I started with 5kg each side plus the bar. 6 months later I...
