  1. How Much Do We Need High Amounts of Animal Protein? Research?

    Hi Everyone, I have seen both sides of the debate over how much protein is needed, and what quality. Lots of Protein a Good Thing: Many bodybuilders, etc. cite that many studies were done on sedentary people, or those doing light resistance training, not heavy strength trainers or...

  2. What is the Weakest Link in Our Movement Chain? Improvements?

    Very good info. Any videos or books that can help show tangible examples of what this means in practice? I know I need to stabilize force. In my case, it would be true with anything around the middle of my body; but, how?

  3. What is the Weakest Link in Our Movement Chain? Improvements?

    Hi Guys, I have been doing the "Insanity" workout lately. Although I do not usually trust anything from TV, I do think this exercise video set does a lot of good with increasing strength, cardiovascular capacity, and range of motion. Of course, we move better and eventually look better. 1...

  4. When Are Burnouts, Supersets, Etc. Appropriate?

    Hi Everyone, I cannot wait for this Coronavirus lockdown to end, and get back to the 5 * 5 Stronglifts.com program. I am thinking about burnouts, tear sets, supersets, trisets, giant sets, etc. 1. When are burnouts, supersets, etc. appropriate, versus just skipping them? 2. Even when...

  5. Can Anyone Explain Why Cues Like "F*ck Sh*t Up" Etc. Work Great?

    Thanks. It looks like the evidence argues for and against sympathetic system activation. The two most recent cues I am trying, are: a. Move with lower abs. It helps build up my weakest and most dysfunctional part of my body: the core. b. Nietzsche's quote: "that which does not kill me only...

  6. Overtraining Workouts at home?

    I agree. If you want to do bodybuilding, train, eat and live like a bodybuilder. I am just saying that for general health and fitness, you cannot beat training such as Marine Corps basic training. While they are not as built up as bodybuilders, they are strong, muscular, cardiovascular fit...

  9. Overtraining Workouts at home?

    Very good. I actually think the bodyweight exercises are the core of strength. Look at Marines in basic training. They are trying to be a fighting force. If they wanted, they could do barbell exercises, etc. But, they spend all their time running everywhere, doing pullups, pushups...

  11. Should I Squeeze My Inner Thighs When Doing Bodyweight Squats, Stretches, Etc.?

    Hi Everyone, As you can see from my other posts, I have always had above average strength in my prime movers. But, always weak and dysfunctional core, tight hamstrings, anterior and right side pelvic tilt, etc. I always had bad posture, etc. When doing "Cardio Recovery" by Insanity, Shaun T...

  12. Does Fascia Stretching Cause Muscle Growth?

    Anthony Ellis in his "Gaining Mass Program" He said that fascia stretching helps to gain muscle. He says that once being overweight makes muscle growth easier, because the fascia is already stretched. Is there any truth in that? Will fascia stretching help muscle growth?

  13. Where Does Yoga Come Into Play In Bodybuilding? As Always, Any Scientific Proof?

  14. Science of Burnouts, Tear Sets, Supersets, Giant Sets? Does It Ever Become Excessive?

    Sorry, I just want to get results from my workout. I have lifted in the gym for 20 years, but I am still only average. Yes, I have needed to take a year off from back injuries, there are sometimes no gyms nearby, etc. I just want to know the pure truth about strength training, bodybuilding...

  16. What's Wrong with a Low-Fat Diet? Any Research?

    Hi Everyone, In my own (anecdotal) experience, the low fat diet of 5-6 meals per day, starch + lean protein and optional vegetables, works best with me. Larry North's Slimdown for Life did the best job of this. At least in the 1970's and 1980's, it seemed like it was the best way. 1...

  17. What Type of Intermittent Fasting Works Best? Research? Does a Weekend Plan Work?

    Hi Everyone, It seems like intermittent fasting has been the rage for the last ten years. 1. Where is the best quality research to prove it works, better than just cutting back calories in general? 2. Would it matter whether the deficit is daily, weekely, monthly, etc.? I heard the body...

  18. What Specifically to Do for Glute Imbalances?

    I was doing some leg swings as warm-ups. It was harder to do it with my left leg swinging. I remember that it seems this glute is always weaker, despite being right handed. My guess is lateral pelvic tilt has something to do with this. What can I do to diagnose and correct such an imbalance?
