    Worst training mistake you've made

    Hitting PR on bench press (245lbs) on Monday, squat on Wednesday (320lbs), deadlift on Friday (405lbs), and then running for an hour at sub seven-minute mile pace on Saturday, and then trying to squat heavy again on Monday and pulling a muscle that knocked me out for about a month and still...

    No more Mr. Hyde?

    Does anyone know why Mr. Hyde has been pulled from all the major supplement vendors?

    I need help figuring out a workout problem I'm having.

    After re-reading your post: no, do not base your work-out off of a 1RM of 250 if that is not your 1RM. If you can hit all the reps for 215, then your 1RM may now be more than 215 and I would try for around 225.

    I need help figuring out a workout problem I'm having.

    For how many weeks have you been doing the pyramid scheme for? Sometimes you hit a plateau and need to change things up. If you repeatedly aren't able to hit your reps for 225, you are probably at a plateau and I would make adjustments to your work-out. Some different options I like to do...

    I'm 6'5 and find squats extremely difficult.

    Squats hit more muscles than leg press. Squats are really a full body exercise and are excellent for training core stability. I'm 6'3" and I had to work at squatting too. I can leg press about as much as you can. But, I had to swallow my pride when it came to squats, and start out light. I...

    Topic of the week: Is Overtraining BS?

    Overtraining is real. But, I think you have to do a lot of volume with high intensity and not give your body enough time to rest in order to truly overtrain. For example, in high school I ran cross country and I ran very high mileage every week and never took a break. By the end of the...

    Chest Training Suggestions

    For chest, I start out really heavy with either bench press of incline press and do about 3-4 sets, with the last set being a double drop set. I then do another 6-8 sets of bench press varying the angle with higher reps. Then I switch to dumbbells or cables and do a couple sets of constant...

    Lagging arms/shoulders

    I used to do a similar split. I've found that taking one muscle group per day and just spending an hour destroying it and letting it recover for a week has given me impressive gains. It's actually not the work out that gets you stronger or bigger, it's the recovery. So, my split is...

    Triceps

    For adding mass: Skull crushers supersetted with close grip bench press. So, after you hit your goal for skull crushers, do not put the bar down. Immediately start pressing with that same bar until you hit failure. You can try this at various angles. I'm liking it with incline right now...
