Here is a little something you can do to shock your arms into new development. Think of your arm training as a circuit, you pick about 3-4 different exercises and hit them in a row with no rest between movements. It’ll get your heart rate up good, and it’ll help keep motivation levels high because …
I’m sure you’ve watched a race before, or if you’re like me you may occasionally go to races. Well, every so many laps they need to come in for a pit stop. Maybe it’s for new tires, more fuel, a small mechanical adjustment, etc. Then they go out there and average faster lap times after …
So you’re slaving away in the gym, hour after hour and day after day. You’ve been hard at work for several months (or years) but now you’re hitting that brick wall. You’re trying to stay motivated, but it’s tough. You just can’t see any new way to make gains, you’re working with 225 on the …
Back training 101… it’s all about feel! You can’t see your back when you train it. You need to feel it. Guys get wrapped up in these half-assed rows and shrugs, and if there is any body part where people use momentum more than muscle power, it’s back! Let’s first talk about the mistakes that …

So after a few guys asking me to elaborate more on my training system, I will be more specific with the routine outline. I say “outline” because nothing is set in stone here. You may find that modifying it works better for you. A lot of my routines are a combination of many different routines …

There are a ton of exercise routines out there for a bigger bench press, squat, deadlift, gain x amount of muscle in so many weeks, etc. Many of these programs focus on taking a % of your 1 rep max and doing 70% for 3, next week it’s 80% for 2 reps, 90% for 1, …
The next time you’re in the gym, take a look around you and watch how many people are half-assing their sets. Ask yourself how much their muscles really contracted during the movement. Anyone can bust out a quick set of curls or presses and appear to have done 10 or 12 reps. But the muscles …
