    The appearance of strength

    Every now and again we see some skinny dude lift considerable weight. Dr Squat nicknamed didley asked to be tested on an experimental (at the time) leg machine to test the static strength of the quads at certain angles to measure force. at the time he held the record for the squat near 500kg...

    Poop More Effectively By Repositioning One Leg

    As writer Will Black discovered, you just need to reposition your leg. The samurai would sit squarely on the seat, cross his leg so that his right ankle rested on his left knee (his left foot remained on the ground), place a hand on each knee, then straighten his back. Supposedly this aligns the...

    45 degree sled leg press

    After doing my 4 sets of squats, I do 3x10 on the incline leg press, but do the legs individually, not both at same time. I don't see anyone else at the gym doing this, I feel I can train both legs equally as hard as each other, without one leg taking more load than the other. Interested to...

    Leg Press

    Been using the leg press rather than squatting because I can actually do it without fucking my knees at the moment. Feel it working my quads a lot more than squats which seem to work my arse and back mostly as well as killing my knees. What rep and set ranges do the bodybuilding focused guys...

    Which exercise has given you most muscle growth?

    Not really interested in theoretical discussion or what Ronnie/Jay do, I'd like to read people's personal experiences. Which exercise best helped you to develop a particular muscle? For example, "couldn't see any gains on chest/back/triceps until I started doing X".

    Linear bearing vs roller leg press

    I'm looking at leg press options, I like the look of the powertec (4 bars to load weight, compact) but it's not linear bearing. The only 'cheap' linear bearing model appears to be the cyber fit... Has anybody tried these machines out (they are both in Sydney only or I'd just pop in a try...
