I want to get some books for my gf, but not workout books. She has dozens of those and has no shortage of training programs to follow. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any books about female...

fantastic thread

Absolutely.

Take some exercises, lift the weights, and rotate the order of the exercises every workout. Do not increase any weight until you can lift the fresh poundage (when the lifts are at the...

This is a great thread.

I just started Pavel's Russian Fatigue Cycling program and am one hundred percent impressed on it. Pavel can make me gain and almost nothing makes me gain.

Lactic acid doesn't cause soreness. See Hatfield, Tsatsouline, others.

Can someone recommend a fat burner for women? A friend of mine is looking for something that's either in liquid form or in small capsules (she can't swallow horse pills).

Thanks

Can someone fill me in on the WWE nickname thing? Who's being called what? And is it really a blatant rip off? Is someone being called The Hulk, which isn't a WWE ripoff, or are they calling someone...

I don't know if you've read Beyond Bodybuilding, but the most fascinating component of it (for me) was when he talked about the benefits of wildly erratic poundages over training cycles that...

Oh, yeah, I missed the point with my calves paragraph: pick any set rep scheme and try it out. Calves are weird to train since everyone uses them every day in different ways, so it takes different...

Looks good, but once you make those changes you're talking about a whole different kind of workout. You may want to read:...

Okay, here goes:

The first routine is really, really awful. That little, scrawny guy in the pictures must be the author. Look at it this way: add 5% bodyfat to that guy and you'd NEVER KNOW that...

The problem is that you can't do five reps with 80% intensity? Or is the problem that you can't increase the weight?

If it's the second, maybe try power clean and presses instead of OHPs. I've...

One thing I've discovered about Pavel's workouts is that if you learn how to form his "lat shelf" in all the presses, your back really gets one hell of a workout and your poundages get an instant...

I highly recommend you try high volume/high intensity... intensity meaning the percentage of your 1rm max and not how much grimacing you're doing.

Load up the bar and bang out 3-5 reps knowing...

I don't know anyone who jumps rope and who doesn't have wicked calves, and the heavier you are the bigger they get.

According to science, your body will adapt to any routine after six weeks and progress will become less than optimal, that's why you should either change workouts or cycle poundages when stagnation...

The deadlift shown as standard in PTTP is the one I use, with the shins vertical and the butt way back. I used to do a BLDL that was initiated by kind of a squatting movement... deadlifting by...

On deads I go 10 lbs, which is close to 5kgs; in the presses I go five pounds.

And I didn't notice this was for kickboxing. As a kickboxer and a weightlifter, here's my opinion:

Do the Power to...

Soreness has nothing to do with it. Pay attention to things like: lack of progress, fatigue, inability to sleep, lack of appetite, low immune system.

With your calories reduced you're simply not...

I'd recommend changing your workout or cycling your poundages.

Changing your workout: I'd really look into HST because it'll force you to recover from your overtraining. Whatever you change it to,...
