If you're an ecto, wouldn't working out 4 days a week be too much?

This kid got way bigger. Sure he put on some fat, but he also put on a lot of muscle. He went from an emaciated 127lbs to a healthy 190lbs. That's 60lbs in one year! You try to get that much without...

I didn't workout yesterday as planned, because my girlfriend wanted to hang out with me all day. (Women!) I was pretty sore in my quads and glutes anyway and I only got 6-7 hours of sleep, so I...

An excellent paper that scientifically validates the principles of HIT. It shows that a good program should include the following:...

Didn't Layne Norton just finish a Smolov cycle? Maybe he can chip in?

I've gone from around 135 all the way up to 155 doing a whole body HIT routine two to three times a week.

Today is a rest day.

Sounds solid; kind of like a spin off of that "Body By Science" routine. Personally though, I'd avoid a low frequency like that, as I've failed to see results on it.

I tried Mentzer's Heavy Duty training and didn't experience much gain from it... I think a much better approach is a higher frequency HIT routine, a la Arthur Jones/Dr. Darden/Dr. Ken. Local recovery...

"TF" stands for "to failure." "N" stands for negative.

Full Squats - 45/5 + 65/5 + 95/5 + 115/4 + 135/2 TF + 135/1 TF
I used a close stance on this exercise. I felt like I used incorrect form. My...

Hey guys. I've had trouble staying consistent with training in the past, so now I'm starting a log on here in order to encourage me to stay consistent. I was fairly consistent earlier this year and I...

Go to bed earlier.

You should take 80% of your 1RM and lift to failure with that weight, no matter how many or how little reps that is for you. That way, you are guaranteed that you "inroaded" your strength by 20% and...

Some of the other guys on these boards will know better, but AFAIK, seated calf raises don't work the gastroc as well as standing calf raises.

Please do explain. If you don't use momentum, you won't be able to exert more force than the structural integrity of your body.

This is what I'm thinking: wouldn't the behind-the-neck press be a safe exercise as long as you make sure to not use any momentum in the movement? After all, your muscles shouldn't be able to...

Is the behind-the-neck press a good exercise for the shoulders and upper back? Are there any other compound movements that hit both the delts and uppper back better?

Just my two cents: If ecdy were as great as the Soviet studies claim, then it would be all over the news. Everyone in every single gym across America would have heard of it (just like they've heard...
