As stated, I'm looking for a mens physique fitness coach. Before everyone starts throwing names at me I'm looking for someone to grow with me. I'm looking for a friendship and a bond. I'm looking for someone to help guide me to greatness. I have the work ethic but I lack the knowledge. I want to be...

For a while I had a back/hip injury that made it difficult to train my legs. More recently the trouble with my back has mostly subsided. My main motivation, now I am able to, is to put some mass on my legs. I have started taking measurements regularly to track my development in size. I eat a low...

Was wondering how you guys approach ab training in contest prep. I know some people hit them every day but I like to do weighted ab movements and sometimes give them their own days w calves. Should I go for more frequency instead of weight?

Hi guys, I'm sure you're sick of these posts but I'm hoping someone could chime in. I'll try and keep it short; used to be fat - lost a lot of weight and then skinnyfat. Began training around strength, lots of 5x5's. Got much stronger but not much to look at still. Decided I want to train...

So I have been on and off weight lifting, and the main reason for that is because no matter what I do, I can't get my right pec to be the same size and shape of my left. I have basically done everything to fix the problem. From doing one handed dumbbell bench and fly's, to having 5 pounds...

Recently I started lifting for thenfirst time and doing more abs after I run. I ussually do abs every day after I run except for weekends. I decided to focus more on lower abs more than my upper to define them better but I know have a really thick lower abdomen. Its only the last set of muscles...

Is there a difference in how you train for muscle size? I used to train more on the power lifting side rep wise in the past and even though I did get decently stronger i noticed I never really go that much bigger. Im just trying to see if more reps truly does give you more muscle size or is my...

He's the first winner ever of the Men's Physique divison at the Arnold Classic. MXGtgnBvnUQ (Right click the images and open them in a new tab for them to be bigger, and you can zoom it too)

Fuuuuark. Absolute goal physique. Doubt he comes on here anymore but I wonder what his current weight is.

I am currently training bench, dl, squat, and overhead press every other day. With each of the 4 being my main focus and doing assistance work following the main focus. We use chains, boards, bands, fat bars, change grips, etc., etc, and the training definitely increases size and strength but my...

Hey everyone, I am thinking of trying vegetarianism in the new year. I am currently coming back from an injury, so want to gain more size (I don't bulk, but just gain clean muscle). I have tried researching it, but found nothing really...is there any physique guys out there who look impressive...

Looking for a test run competition for the first time. It is 1.5 Months away. My next show (the real deal) would be May 15. I am not counting my calories, all I can tell you is I eat 4-5 times a day and it is very clean. Minimal processed foods such as bread, pasta, etc. Lots of protein and I...

I am looking to compete in physique for the first time in my life but need some questions answered first. What's the approximate weight I should be competing in for a standard 5% bf at 6'4? How can I find out of comps in my area? What should I work on? (Mirin PJ's?) I heard smiling is a...

Personally i feel beforehand that Jason Poston, Jeremy Buendia, Steve Cook and Sadik Hadzovic will battle for first place. That is before I've seen everyone though so may be a complete different turnout. Who do you guys have on the top spots? Really hope Sadik can take it home this year
