    Do you train to failure?

    if you train till failure, especially every workout, you will over tax your whole system, unless you are 16.. use that sparingly, every 3rd workout or so.

    NECK DEVELOPEMENT

    I got my neck mass from lots of OHP'S. new trainees need not focus time and energy on neck development, unless you play football.

    Proven alternative to squats?

    I have read,(believe it or not) that squats actually put more stress on your lumbars..that being said, 3 strips of my hamstring were fashioned into a makeshift acl, with the meniscus totally gone, BUT, in the last 3 years since that injury and my retirement, my squats were as strong and...

    How Do You Finish off Your Chest Workout?

    In my day we finished with cross bench dumbbell pullovers, Arnold claimed that once he implemented this into his arsenal he gained 5 extra inches on his chest, and an awesome way to stretch out the ribcage.

    21's for triceps

    I forgot bench dips, I can't do 'regular' dips, but purportedly bench dips fill in the area right above the elbow, and saves your shoulder if you have delt issues.

    High Reps vs Low Reps

    5x5, the single best move I ever made. the first 3 months, I gained , no exaggeration, 20lbs of quality muscle, could have been just the change up from years of trillion set sessions but don't really matter, It worked.

    1/4 squats. Why do people do it?

    Iv'e heard of 1/8 squat, Mr. Tom platz recommended, the 1/4? I can only say that maybe a useful tool for powelifters stuck in the upper portion of their lift?

    Skull Crushers vs Close Grip Bench

    I always preferred crushers to cgbp, crushers have been known to put undo stresses on the elbow which later in my training years came to be very apparent. However CGBP's also has been known to cause wrist issues, or aggravate existing ones. I suppose its a matter of personal preferences, then I...

    1 body part a day?

    First, you will never know what routine works for you until you give it a decent run, usually 2 months or so in my opinion, but I will quote Dorian Yates '' I would never waste my time driving to the gym, setting up, just to train a small body part, such as arms or calves''.
