When you talk to your grandmother about bodybuilding, even she thinks of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was the guy who made the muscle flexing festival popular. In most countries, his name is a symbol of big biceps and massive pecs. He had a superior structure, and some even argue that he destroys the modern gutbuilding pros despite being 50lbs […]
So, why aren’t you gaining muscle mass? Well, it’s really simple. You are not taking the right supplements and doing the perfect rep range. To build huge and scary muscles you have to take {this}, {this} and {that} while working the muscles with a proper rep scheme. No! I am kidding. Let’s get serious now. […]
The quadriceps and the glutes do most of the work during back squats, but if you squat below parallel, your hamstrings also have their fair share of fun. Are back squats enough to develop big hamstrings? Not really. If your goal is to build the best hamstrings you can have, exercises like deadlifts, good mornings […]
The market has been heavily flooded with bodybuilding supplements which in theory have exceptional muscle building capabilities. I am almost sorry to inform you, but the suggested super powers never manifest themselves. Often the bottle and the graphics on the label cost more than the active ingredients contained in the product. Having said that, supplements […]
The only thing that counts as success nowadays is profit. Generating money is the engine of this world. The mechanism was set in motion a long time ago, and besides a few external modifications, nothing has changed since its establishment. The muscle industry is a byproduct of this corrupt system and illustrates how the economy operates. The fools work, produce and […]
The barbell back squat is treated like the emperor of the iron world. Many popular routines are engineered to flatter the king’s ego. Monday: Squat. Wednesday: Squat. Friday: Squat. Trying to convince a die-hard fan that the squat is just an exercise is more difficult than making a banker donate money. According to the doctrine of […]
Instead of arguing what’s better – bodyweight exercises or weight training, why not combine both? Calisthenics can build a super strong upper body and core, as shown by gymnasts, whereas full body barbell exercises build the hips and the legs. A combination of both methods is one of the most effective ways to do business on the […]
1. If someone is making money from his physique, there is a 99% chance that he is on steroids. 2. A full upper chest, round and massive 3D deltoids, huge traps and a paper thin skin are classic traits of heavy steroid users. 3. If someone is bigger than this guide, he is probably pinning. 4. […]
To be “conventional” or “sumo” is a question that bothers the minds of many iron addicts. To find your answer, you first need to determine the purpose of your deadlifting efforts. If your goal is to build a bigger back, the conventional deadlift would technically be a better choice since it’s more back dominant. The sumo deadlift, […]
You see what I did there? I lied to you. I promised you miracles right from the start. I know you want square upper pecs that make the crowd go “wow”, and that’s why I chose this bait. There are about 1, 788, 111 articles and videos on the Internet promising the same thing – […]
My first run of Pavel Tsatsouline’s Fighter Pull-up Program resulted in overtraining. This is hardly a surprise since the routine calls for 25 days of high volume. If you are not familiar with the actual program, it looks a little something like this: The 5RM Fighter Pull-up Program Day 1 5, 4, 3, 2, […]
Did you see what I did there? You came here because “super” and “THICK” written in capital letters got your attention. Unfortunately, the title is misleading. You can definitely build a thick back as a natural, but super THICK? I am sorry but no. Why? Because the natural potential of the human body isn’t as […]
