  1. Strength without weight gain

    Can't find much on the interwebs regarding this. Would all gains need to be CNS related since you aren't getting bigger muscles to make stronger. Would things like explosive strength (ie dead stop presses and push press) be staples. Along with heavy rack lock outs like the vanilla gorilla...
  2. Strength without weight gain.

    By main work I mean regular benches and the things like dead stop benches, push press, and rack lock outs/isoholds with supra maximal weight would be assistance work

  5. Caffeine on empty stomach?

    This article confused the sh*t outta me [emoji23] thanks for the replies fellas
  6. Caffeine on empty stomach?

    Is caffeine most effective on an empty stomach or can you still eat food and have it be pretty much just as effective? I've heard arguments for both, and am interested in others opinions. Thanks in advance, God bless.
  7. Bench tip

    Raw lifters can't go wrong with long pauses and shoulder work.
  8. Alpha-GPC and Huperzine A for strength?

    Thanks fellas, and I do use caffeine aswell so perhaps it would be worth it
  9. Alpha-GPC and Huperzine A for strength?

    Was wondering if this would be a good preworkout for acute strength gains. Just to keep it simple, along with my simple understanding of it, Alpha-GPC increase acetylcholine and Huperzine A blocks reuptake of it and from all the extra acetylcholine you have more efficient nerve signals and...
  10. Reactive(Blue) slingshot v boards

    For the record I never claimed they are the same. The question is just what is the reactive slingshot most similar too in boards. I see how you guys don't consider the slingshot a lockout tool but I do see it as one. Maybe not the most effective but I think the help off the chest and less help...
  11. Reactive(Blue) slingshot v boards

    I don't see them as completely different, they are both working the lockout. If the slingshot stops assisting around where "x" board begins it would be pretty similar no? I'm just wondering which board it would be closest too. I'm aware they are not exactly the same
  12. Reactive(Blue) slingshot v boards

    I remember reading somewhere that the reactive slingshot is similar to a 2 board except with a full rom. Can anyone confirm this or give the correct comparison. Thanks in advance
  13. Push-ups every day?

    Appreciated*
  14. Push-ups every day?

    As some of you may know my main goal is TO BLOW UP AND THEN ACT LIKE I DONT KNOW NOBODY! All kidding aside my main goal is to be the best pound for pound bench presser. Not close to it yet but that is the goal. I do pressing three days a week. Currently doing 3 sets of 4 board on flat followed...
  15. Beta-Alanine dosing question

    We all know beta alanine is a great tried and true product. And the dosing of 800mg to 1,600mg every 2-4 hours. The 800mg of my product is only 1/4 tsp so I've been taking it a scoop right under my tongue and letting it absorb that way. My questions are, first is this safe? Don't see why it...
  16. VIRUS compression gear

    Do these products do what they claim to do? Was interested in grabbing a long sleeve bioceramic shirt to sleep in for recovery. Seems like the ideal product to enhance recovery. Just curious if anyone had experience with the products
  17. VIRUS compression gear

    Not sure if this is the right forum for this topic but I was just wondering if any of you have any experience with this product. I was most interested in getting one of there long sleeved bioceramic shirts to wear at night while I sleep for the recovery purposes, so I know it's not really...
  18. 5/3/1 with no deloads

    Hahaha I know I know, I just get carried away. But I'm getting better at leaving the ego and saving some reps. 402 is a nice solid bench! And high 4s in a shirt is dope aswell! Keep up the gains my man
  19. 5/3/1 with no deloads

    I've been stuck at 315 for 5 on incline and was trying to get it back to my sets of 9 but to no avail. I got the 150 DBS for 4 on incline a few weeks back. I seem to be in a hole as of late but that's my own folly as I've been taking sets to failure way more than I should and have lost my...
  20. 5/3/1 with no deloads

    I know Wendler said not to change his program and expect results and don't blame it for not working if you don't follow it to the T but I'm curious if you can just run the program back to back and cut down the assistance volume to 2-3 sets or a total of like 7 sets instead of 10 or something...
