I am considering getting my personal trainer certification with the intention of working in Canada. Around here, everyone seems to talk about Canfitpro and many gyms require it before hiring you. On...

This is a very common mistake in bodybuilding. If you're always worried about staying cut, you'll never be bale to build any decent size. You must be willing to smooth out a bit. That doesn't mean...

Many people have been brainwashed into thinking that a training program is not complete withoiut flat bench pressing. If you go back in time a number of decades ago, say to the 1940s and 50s, the...

You can get in a good workout at home even if you have limited space. Get yourself a doorway chinup bar or better yet, mount one to the beams in your basement ceiling. Then get some Vegas Pro Straps....

I have also had problems with elbow pain. In my case, I dropped all tricep extension type movements like skullcrushers and pushdowns and just did pressing movements. Dips, Bench Dips, Close Grip and...

It's been quite a while since I wrote that post. It's true I was pissed off at the time because I encountered so many idiotic posts. I just said to hell with the whole thing. I decided earlier today...

The best thing is to make sure you get the right feeling when you deadlift. First of all, make sure you're strongly rooted. Grip the floor with your toes and drive your heels into the ground. This...

I've done them before, but I don't find them as effective as close grip bench presses with an EZ curl bar. I think along with close grip dips with your body upright, close grip EZ bar bench presses...

There are two exercises I think are unbeatable for lower quad development. The first is the front squat with your heels on a 2x4 block of wood. Emphasize standing up by thrusting with your hips and...

There is some truth to heavy weights being bad, but it's not being explained in the right context. There are tons of people out there with bad injuries, but that's due more to bad technique. I've...

This type of split has become the norm, so no one ever questions it. But the fact is that you just don't have enough rest days. When you work your legs on Monday and then again on Friday, it sounds...

I joined up last year because I thought it would be a good place to exchange ideas, tips, etc. There are some good people here, but the majority seem to be smartass know it alls who love putting...

As long as you don't do them both in the same workout, it's fine. You could do them on the same day though (morning and night), but I would rather run on a non-lifting day. I really think more...

It's possible that it may be cold, but I doubt it. Most major gyms have decent heating and air conditioning systems. And once you get warmed up after a few sets, you can be wearing a tank top in...

If done properly, spotting is excellent. If not, it sucks! The spotter should not touch the bar until you start failing, when the bar starts going down and you can't get another rep. Then, he can...

You should learn martial arts. The footwork, punching, and kicking drills you do are awesome cardio! It's also great for balance, co-ordination, timing, and a whole lot more. Of course you also learn...

I am actually in the process of making the same decision myself. Every year, I tell myself that I'm just going to continue running in the winter. But it's just so damn cold! Not only that, but...

LOL! Good one!

This is utterly unbelievable! People are so accustomed to performing their bentover rows with a short range of motion that when they see someone using a full range, they think it's another exercise!...

I think counting the bar for your own records, even if it's a freeweight bar, is a waste of time. You have to constantly subtract 45 lbs in your head whenever you're loading the bar up. There just...
