    Article: Ronnie Coleman On Time

    Rest periods are relative to the training type and to the goals out of it that you're trying to reach. If you're training for strength and don't care at all about muscle size then longer rest periods are the typical protocol for powerlifting, from 2 to 5 minutes. If you're training for stamina...

    Article: Does Workout Hormone Release Matter?

    "Resistance exercise stimulates the release of GH from the anterior pituitary gland, with released levels being very dependent on exercise intensity"..... "Researchers at the Exercise Metabolism Group at McMaster University reported that muscle hypertrophy took place without acute increases...

    Article: Branch Warren's Chest Workout

    Yes; DO flyes and pec deck. They are to the chest what curls are to the biceps. Crossing the arm to the front of the torso is what the pectorals are for...pressing movements only get you half way, save for a few specifically designed machines that go a little better than straight and also...

    Article: Squats Give More Hormone Response Than Leg Press

    The squat has a greater systemic strain, even psychologically for most people than the leg press. It isn't as comfortable having your spine loaded, plus the thought or subconcious thought that if you "do it wrong" you could get seriously hurt, is what elicits the hormone response seen in the...

    FORMERON FAQ

    I've had several bottles now; and have to say I'm not really impressed with the compounding sometimes. It has visible solids. BUT, there's simple and quite effective solution to this that I don't mind sharing. I draw up all of my doses in an oral syringe to 2ml, and top it off with @.75ml of...

    Article: Scientific Shoulder Exercise Choices

    Lol, right. Logically one might assume dumbbell but EMG may show it to be the smith if you happen to be pushing it against the travel of the shafts by not following an identical angle. But then, that same resistance might take away from the negative phase though since it doesn't exactly...

    Does what? Not increase DHT. It blocks the conversion to it; thus REDUCING it. Try these search keywords for example into google; formestane and DHT, 4-androstenediol vs dehydrotestosterone, etc etc....

    FORMERON FAQ

    About applying; I have the benefit of having a friend that is a compounding pharmacist. He told me to avoid using the same application sites repeatedly for "hormone transdermals" because the skin cell receptors down-regulate.

    I'm using a different brand ATM but with the same issue; I just added some 91% iso-alcohol and shook the hell out of it. Problem solved. Or "solvented" lol.

    Lifting Reps or Heavy?

    True enough. Low reps never give a pump like higher ones...is there any proven physiological effect to growth that the pump provides? It makes sense to think that everything you swallow eventually ends up in the bloodstream; and then if more than your normal blood volume than when you're...

    Lifting Reps or Heavy?

    Good point...going to failure on squats even gets ya down to your toes! And it's pretty dangerous. I only do those to a mediocre level anymore, hardly even 200lbs...had a major back surgery in 2007 that put me out of training to hardly at all till about 4 months ago. Before that, ya I WAS...

    Lifting Reps or Heavy?

    That is true. But having a defined reference is good for educational text about "how much" one should do...Yate's coined forced reps as the highest intensity point. Right now, I'm experimenting with finding out if it's better to hit a muscle group within a couple of days less rest than I...

    Lifting Reps or Heavy?

    It's not an opinion, it's a method of a training principle standardized over 70yrs ago and outlined by Joe Weider, in his encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding...it's over 600 pages btw. Failure is failure...you can complete another full rep or you can't. There's only one way to say it.

    Lifting Reps or Heavy?

    Failure is the loss of the ability to properly execute another repetition to the exact same technique as the previous rep; typically full range. Grading it on a curved scale for the advanced trainer's preference doesn't change the definition it is what it is as a training principle as devised...
