I think mass will still play a big role but just not at the expense of symmetry (I hope). Guys like Heath will still aim to add on the pounds but maybe not as dramatic as Cutler did to catch up to...
The question is how long have you been following the routine and are you making gains? The important thing to remember is that there is nothing set in stone. You need to figure out what training...
I remember when I first watched that DVD I thought he came off really well. Good attitude and not arrogant. Looking forward to seeing him compete again.
That's exactly what it sounds like to me. I highly doubt Ronnie would sue Gold's Venice for hanging a poster of him in the gym, along with posters of Arnold and other Mr Olympia winners. Sounds...
$299 for the Powerline rack seems overpriced to me. I remember paying $350 CAD for the higher end Body Solid model when the exchange rate was crappy and I wouldn't pay more than that for my rack.
I guess it comes down to what your goals are. A lot of guys here are focused on getting bigger which is to be expected for a BB forum so the idea of dedicating time to hand exercises seem out of...
Just keep in mind that they are not very convenient if you're using them with Powerblocks and you like to do dropsets or in any case where you need to change the weight. Still great tools for me...
For anyone in the area who's interested, Ronnie's got a seminar taking place on June 22 at the new Gold's Gym. It's $89. Here's the link to order tickets if interested:

I eventually developed pain in my elbows when I used to lower the bar to the lower part of my forehead. I found less strain when I lowered it to around the top of my head and keeping my arms at an...
It sounds like you are pulling your head back too far. If you feel the need to look up at the top of the movement, try to find a spot on the ground that will limit how far you pull you head back so...
Have you looked into different forms of upper/lower and push/pull split routines? I tried upper/lower last year and found it worked very well compared to my once per week routine. I'm currently...
You can work every muscle effectively with only freeweights but if machines are available they can be very beneficial. I always start my workouts with freeweights (bench, row, deadlift, squat) and...
Doing BB rows with your back parallel to the floor is supposed to be more effective in hitting the lats because it's harder to involve the traps when pulling up. Not everyone can do them because it...
Skip the deadlift. Don't even go light on the deadlift. Let your back heal properly. In my experience (had prior injuries), the lower back is one area you don't want to mess with. It can be...
One of the benefits of doing exercises that target one side at a time is that it allows you to find any imbalances whether it's strength or form (or both).
When I did a upper/lower split last year, I did deadlifts on one day and RDLs on the lighter day. Although RDLs are supposed to be more of a hamstring exercise, they still work your lower back. I'm...
