Typically you might read or hear that if you want to train for hypertrophy then you should train in the neighborhood of 8-12 repetitions primarily - and there is truth to this because...

    Research will tell us that muscular hypertrophy has a lot of relation and correlation to the volume of work done for a given muscle. Research will also tell us that high frequency training, namely at least 2x/week, will elicit more hypertrophy gains then less frequent training. I am a...

    Off day today and tomorrow. It appears that I am entering an over reached period and so the decision was made to take two days off, eat and see what I feel like in the third day. I have had the over reached symptoms that flare up the most commonly for me: restless sleep, progressive overload...

    You hear often how whether your goal is strength, size or hypertrophy you need to always be doing heavy compound movements, especially heavy hip hinge compound movements such as the squat and deadlift. The deadlift is an exercise that receives a lot of credit for making people very...

    Good couple days of training. Yesterday due to some crazy life circumstances we had only an hour to do back and shoulders so it was a very typical bodybuilding style workout of 3-4 exercises for 3-4 sets of 6-12 reps. For an hour it was good. It's been a pretty stressful week for us but we...

    I HIGHLY recommend you read this article. It does a great job explaining how people way over consume calories without even really realizing it. Not that foods have "hidden" calories per se (they are not playing hide and go seek with you) but there are quite a lot of food items in the world...

    A point to consider for people who are struggling with their weight and are not happy with how their current body change plan is going (which I bet is many of you reading this): MOST folks are good at keeping tabs on "what" they eat. Where many people struggle is "how much" they eat. I do...

    The phrase "detox" drives me nuts and their prevalence in the health & fitness industry drives me nuts. What drives me nuts is the vast amount of misinformation that the common "detox" product found at vitamin shoppe or health section of a super market is propelled by. These products are...

    I read this article a little while ago and I thought it was very pertinent the individual who is considering hiring a diet & physique consultation coach. In my experience, both with online and in person clients, some folks believe that the act of hiring someone to provide nutritional and...
