The hypothesis of divergent cardiac adaptations in endurance-trained and strength-trained athletes was tested by applying meta-analytical techniques...
Ventricular hypertrophy develops without exercise: you have a problem.
Ventricular hypertrophy develops because of exercise: normal physiological response.
Just getting up out of bed stresses your tendons and your heart. Stress is GOOD. No stress = no adaptation = muscle wastage = death. Quadriplegics are extremely unstressed physically, so by this MD's...
For me 225 always feels heavy. I can only hit around 20 reps with it now, but even 3 reps as a warmup feels heavy. Then 330+ starts feeling lighter suddenly.

I would fight Bruce Lee in his prime (and mine) and win. I do think that my relatively minor fighting ability would be more than compensated by being more than twice his weight. Yes, technique really...
Who cares? Still the requirements are very mediocre. A fat guy like me has an advanced bench... at only slightly more than a bodyweight bench? That should barely register as intermediate. And it's...
Let's see: I have an injured shoulder which hurts my pressing. I only started front squatting two weeks ago, and I hardly do anything more than that ever. (just FSQ, bench (now military press),...
Yes, it's possible with IPF-legal gear too. Just don't expect to be able to get as much carryover as someone whose shirt is 6 sizes too small (i.e., properly sized ;) ).
Well, I asked myself: "why deadlifts?". How many times in normal life does anyone deadlift anything heavier than 200 Lbs? In the life of a regular Joe there is no need to DL 500. But say you not only...
As long as it doesn't normally make you jittery then I wouldn't bother. If you want to make sure, then start slowly cutting down right now. If you drink caffeine heavily until meet day, and then go...
