What would you do if you could perform only 1 exercise? Well, that’s a pretty unrealistic scenario. If you can do one, you can probably do 2 (or at least a variation of the first one.) But sometimes people need simplicity to keep going. There are periods when you just don’t want to lift for […]
FAQ: What are feeder workouts? Feeder workouts are frequent pump training sessions designed to massively accelerated the hypertrophy of a specific body part. The modern originator of the feeder template is Rich Piana who uploaded several videos on the subject. According to Rich, feeder workouts should be done the day after a hard training session […]
Short answer: Biceps curls are a very potent and mighty functional exercise. The 5×5 sycophants demonized it with an ulterior motive in mind – to dress their “revolutionary” barbell routines as superior for naturals. But curls are and will always be the go-to biceps builder. When implemented properly into a routine, curls are not a […]
Admit it! The first time your biceps grew by an inch, your inner self transposed up to a higher, celestial octave. Your fingers started shaking, and the measuring tape slid down towards the ground like a spiral fading into the harmonious and peaceful water. One by one the objects in the room received a powerful […]
I had to use this title because I know that otherwise you wouldn’t listen. I am not going to give you an exceptional routine that’s somehow going to make your triceps as big as those of the HodgeTwins or other “natural bodybuilders” who are actually pinning their glutes in the shadows on a daily basis. […]
Arm training is one of the simplest things in life. You don’t need more than 2 months to learn the basic biceps and triceps exercises (e.g., curls, close grip bench press, dips, pull-overs and others.) As expected, the industry wants to complicate things and sets many traps on your path. They produce video after video […]
The text that’s about to follow is going to cause a stream of hate. You will hate me so much that you may even consider breaking the computer monitor. Since I don’t really care about the future of your monitor, I will continue to write. Let’s get straight to the point. You want to have […]
In this post, I will present a few triceps training tips for naturals that actually work. First, adjust your expectations. The bodybuilding industry has been using the effect of muscular arms on people as a brainwashing tool and a money printer. Every day bodybuilders on anabolic steroids, growth hormone and insulin receive a “revelation” and […]
1.Chest flys The chest fly will never be a true power exercise. There may be some maniacs like Scooby Werkstatt who have made the fly one of their main heavy exercises, but in my opinion, there are more intelligent ways to overload the pectoral muscles. The stretch created by the fly puts the tendons of […]
The good ol’ biceps curl is the movement of choice when it comes to direct biceps work. Many bodybuilders obsessed with arm training are guilty of doing this movement almost every time they hit the gym. What’s better – EZ bar curls or straight bar curls? The Straight Bar Curl = Wrist Killer Did you know that […]
Big biceps have been a symbol of strength and muscle for a very long time. That’s why every commercial gym is equipped with endless amounts of preacher benches, EZ curl bars, arm isolation machines, cables…etc. The owners want to make sure that the customer’s desire to pump his arms is fulfilled. A satisfied customer is […]
Bench dips are often part of workout DVDs such as P90X. However, they aren’t a joint friendly exercise because of the extreme shoulder stretch. You are risking a rotator cuff injury as well as shoulder impingement. Without a doubt, bench dips work your triceps muscles really hard, and you are going to get a great arm […]
