Well, the proof is in the study cited above, I find case studies to be less than useful. I suppose the main reason why I post this is to initiate a discussion about this research paper, if multiple...

Yes, but judging by the reception of these forums to HIT principles, I wouldn't be here for long either if I trained HIT. ;) More importantly, I believe that due to the popularity of other training...

Agreed, that's the conclusion I ended up coming to, still pretty impressive though and it does indeed call into question some common held beliefs such as how much muscle you can synthesize in such a...

Perhaps this is the wrong forum for this type of post?

Well, just to get you started on a few things:



You don't NEED to add in cardio, cardio is useful for athletes and perhaps general lung strength, but your heart is worked out reasonably well...

Just looking at your username, and the fact that you've done two half-marathons recently, I would say your love of running may very well be holding you back. Endurance training has been shown to be...

I was just wondering what the current attitude is concerning Arthur Jones' training techniques, typically called High Intensity Training.

While I know there's a lot of negative attitude towards it...

That's referred to as "max" contraction training. Otherwise, the guy above nailed it on the head.

Lats are utilized primarily in any motion that is moving the elbows down. Rows emphasis is in pulling the elbows backwards, which is actually a rhomboid and center back exercise. I'd submit that rows...

Barbell hip thrusts for glutes. Just try it.

Also, squatting a bit lower can help there as well. When...

Question, what's the difference between rear delt exercises and rhomboid exercises? I mean, obviously the deltoids focus on pulling the weight up while the rhomboids focus on pulling it back, but it...

Virtually any of them will work, machines or free weights, just be sure to emphasize pulling with your elbows, rather than just trying to get the weight to move where it's supposed to.

The...

Congrats, and you're completely right, virtually any compound exercise is more about the mind-muscle connection than just "going through the motions", as you put it. Pullups or lat pulldowns will...

Calm down bro, all the stress is decreasing your testosterone production. Just eat more and exercise.

Typically a finger on the ring is a good place to start, but really within some reason, whether you target your pecs or not with bench press is a lot more about the positioning of your elbows and how...

I always felt that lunging your hips up during bench press in order to worm the weight up was better, because then your whole body is moving :D Just sayin'.

Are you talking about spot-reduction? I thought that was debunked by actual science.[/QUOTE]

The only real scientific support we have for the claim that spot reduction doesn't work is from 1984:...

Are you talking about chin-ups or pullups? Pullups are generally considered a great exercise, and they are done with palms facing away from you. Getting a pullup to really hit your lats is a matter...

Switch to elevated pushups first(legs elevated, not arms ;P)

But yes, worse leverage or less muscles used means essentially more weight must be moved by those muscles, giving you a similar effect...
