    My Top 5 Lifting Routines

    John, I will likely be posting some pics on my board soon. Knowing it will cost me lots of training clients because of how heavily tattood I am and the fact that I have some symmetry issues. But thats OK as I am pretty much to the point of not being able to take on anymore training clients...

    Does "Time Under Tension" Matter?

    I just have my trainees lift fast on the positive and lower at a natural pace on the negative. I have played with TUT with pretty large sample lots of trainees and have come to the conclusion that if you need more TUT, do more sets. IA

    Common Sense Dieting

    I peruse the lifting forums and read posts from extremely frustrated and confused lifters on a daily basis regarding dieting. While it can take some trial and error to get things dialed in, setting up a great diet is extremely easy to do. Once setup, it may not necessarily be extremely easy to...

    A Common Mistake

    An EXTREMELY common mistake made by lifters across the globe is this one: Lifting is going well and lifts are going up—progress is fine. Then they have a few (sometime only one) bad workouts and think the sky is falling. Their solution? Change their routine—often to a totally different format...

    Volume/Frequency/Intensity

    I am going into this discussion with the assumption that the trainee has diet, supplementation, sleep, and stress in order. If not, the perfect routine is not going to be effective anyway. Many people go to the gym each week employing workout programs that look flashy on paper, but fail to...

    Fastest way to gain 10-15 lbs

    If the goal is to gain 10-15 lbs as absolutely fast as possible how would it best be accomplished? Probably the quickest way to do it would be working out all bodyparts twice a week doing 16 or so sets a bodypart, using low intensity, for sets of 10-12 reps. Add a bit of creatine and taurine...

    Great post from Madcow

    That's basically the problem. Everyone thinks there is a static best way that will work from beginner to advanced and that this is the magic program. Essentially they want it simple, a golden program, that they can just "do" and will transform them to whatever their goal is. Unfortunately, it...

    Stubborn Muscles

    I haven't figured out how to stretch forearms. Mine don't respond worth a damn as far as size goes unless I do 10-12 sets for them directly. Iron Addict
