    Squat belt

    I have competed in different areas and have noticed that as a bodybuilder or physique competitor, it's simply a matter of support that is ideal. Harbinger would be ideal. If you are focused on powerlifting or strength, a lever belt or a solid 4inch, 2 prong belt will work well. I have a lever...

    Texas Method

    Whats the main goal? Strength? Powerlifting competition? Goals are going to determine the next step. Post up your current program to see how it's laid out on a 4 day scheme. If powerlifting is your goal, the next phase will be pretty damn epic for you.

    LiftingDad's LiftingLog

    I tend to start and stop these things. I keep training but I tend to get lax on my training logs for some reason. I guess it's because I've been in a constant state of change. I am expecting big things to happen and wanting fast results. It's the exact thing I tell people NOT to do when...

    The Texas Method | Pro's and Con's

    I posted this up as I'm curious to see who has used the Texas method. I am also curious what modifications you made or would make. I am currently doing a variation of the Texas method, which is likely to piss some people off (because if it's modified it is no longer the texas method). I look at...

    Question about bill starr 5x5

    Define committed. Are you bound to terms of some sort? Or do you feel it's best that you do not modify a program to suit your needs/goals? The second question can sound a bit directed, and it partially is... but the key question is on the commitment aspect. It should also be noted that some...

    best technique for gaining size

    I should've been clear that I was referring to the main lift or lifts in a given workout. I do like RPE though it's often up to the user to decipher the difference between an 8 and a 9. Even though 1RM approximations are provided with RPE.

    best technique for gaining size

    volume should increase. as Rodja said, there are many factors that come into play with a program. you get a ton of volume in with lower intensity lifts. say you lift 200lbs for 10 reps. that's 2000lbs. now lets say you want to do triples with 300lbs, you now have to do 2 sets or more to be...

    best technique for gaining size

    Make sure the volume in the early portion does not extremely outdo the volume of the later portion. Essentially your total volume should be increasing as you progress through a mesocycle/microcycle (depending on how you've programmed your next several months). so, if you are doing 3 sets of...

    Incline angle

    15-30 degrees will be optimal. The most effective exercise for targeting the most pectoral fibers is the decline bench press. A lot of factors come in to play with the bench including your ROM, mobility at shoulder, along with arch. For some people a 30 degree incline could still equate to a...
