    Glute help

    Two things. 1. Training: Invalid Link Removed Bam! 2. Were you heavier when you played football? I notice that most people who lean out lose a lot of overall volume in their glutes, and most people who are lean to begin with do not have voluminous butts...unless they are really genetically...

    the most under-rated performance enhancing supplement is....

    A few reasons, I think. The two body comp studies that found no results did not include an exercise program. I think if the subjects had been training there would be a different results. With regards to the performance trials, we can look to differences in training protocols, as the ones that...

    the most under-rated performance enhancing supplement is....

    I think once we can say what its best used for (as far as improving performance) the next step in research will be to determine optimal dosage.

    New craze, buttock implants for men

    I realize I may be preaching to the choir on this....but the next time you hear someone say (as I did today) they lift weights only to get more *****, you might remind them that women are hard wired to be attracted to men with well developed, powerful looking glutes.... Invalid Link Removed

    deprivation of leucine for fat loss

    You are part correct. Lue is ketogenic in how it is metabolized and then fed into the krebs cycle. But, lue intake also stimulates the release of insulin. I believe the other two BCAA's stimulate both the release of insulin and glucagon.

    Patellar Tendonitis Caused by Vastus Lateralis Dominance

    Look up "runners knee" and you should get some useful hints as well. Are you doing anything for the hip abductors and medial hamstrings? Do you have anterior pelvic tilt or tight hip flexors? (this often goes with the PT) Some agrressive foam rolling of the vastus lateralis, adductors, and...

    Building Width

    I'll second and third all that. Heavy full ROM strict standing presses and dead hang pullups. Vary your grips on the pull ups. Wider overhand once a week and shoulder width neutral another time. When you can do a dead hang pull up in good technique with 50+ pounds strapped to you for 5+ reps...

    Take a look at my training

    I would select 1 lower trap, 1 serratus anterior, and 1 mid trap/rhomboid movement and do them prior to each workout you do.

    Take a look at my training

    I like scaptions and prone snow angels. Don't neglect the serratus anterior, as it plays a major role in scapula rotation and over head pressing. Band resisted scaptions: Invalid Link Removed Snow angles: Invalid Link Removed Warm up for bench press...a lot of the activation exercises you can...

    Take a look at my training

    Tough one. Where is your sticking point? You can always work from the sticking point. For me its around the lower lip to the an inch over the head. Driving off my chest is not a problem, nor is locking out. Also, a lot of times plateaus occur when the primary movers (delts, triceps)...

    Thoughts on this Routine?

    I haven't been a very big fan of Jim's stuff in quite some time. I feel like many other well educated people in our field, his writing and ideas have become sensationalized or "shaking things up" in order to promote and sell his stuff.

    Sets, Reps, Intensity and Tempo

    Just to piggy back on what paul said think less about muscles and more about movements. For example, the overhead press is a large multijoint movement that recruits a series of muscles. An external shoulder rotation is a small single joint movement that predominately only works the teres minor...

    Working the Back/Chest/Legs more than once a week?

    You'll adapt. One thing I don't like about MaxOt is the lack of variety in loading schemes. Theoretically you could work in the 4-6 range your entire life, but its probably more effective to work in rep-loading blocks of 2-4 weeks with your accessory movements

    cardio...before or after?

    That's interval training, but is it High Intensity? Go run 8 or 10 50-75m hills with a walk back for rest. Make note of the comparison in which feels more taxing.
