Strength vs Size question
Hello, I have reached the point in my training where I don't want to gain any more lower body mass. Except for my calves (which can always be a bit bigger..), my glutes and thighs are quite large and I don't want to get them any larger. The problem is I love deadlifting and squatting for strength re...

Point 2. He references Arthur jones Nautilus/HIT program. OK fine, it will work. But Casey Viator was in a VERY deconditioned state when the "experiment" was done, and with a lot of food, he got a lot of his PREVIOUS size back rather quickly, probably though water retrntion, muscle memory or whatev...

I'm also upping the rep range toward 20 after a bit of reading on another site. 'Apparently' traps are pretty resistant to training and wont respond well to the low rep range like most muscles. The reasoning being they have to support your arms etc constantly anyway, so they need to be hammered. Ca...

Here's Charles Poliquin's explanation from T-Nation: "Implementation: (A) To begin, grasp two dumbbells and sit on the edge of a flat bench. Let your arms hang straight down, with your palms facing forward. You'll curl the dumbbells up, but with one slight variation: to prevent recruitment of the fo...

Sorry, I just realized after reading my post how vague it was. I compromised it a couple of weeks ago while swimming and it started hurting today after bench pressing. I'm not currently seeing a doctor because with my experience it usually heals with a bit of time but I'm not sure if that's the best...

Heat? Ice? Stretching? Rest?

P-bar dips and tricep involvement.
My understanding is that with pressing movements (bench and standing) your triceps are only involved in the top half of the movement (towards lock out). Is the same true for dips and pushups? If I wanted to target my triceps, would I want to focus on the movement closer to lock out and not use a ful...

OK, thanks Stephen. The reason I ask is I've recently switched my bent-over row to using a pronated grip and know that takes out the rear delts. I do however do lots of chinups and pullups with a variety of grips and wasn't sure if I should still do a rear delt specific exercise or if the pullups/ch...
