    BCAAs during a long workout ?

    Does anyone have any experience of taking BCAAs during long workouts ? I train full body, followed by a HIIT session on the bike, with the aim of physique transformation/strength and lean mass gains. Workouts are generally great and I regularly hit PRs, but about to experiment with BCAAs...

    What not to do

    Forced reps from the 1st rep of the 1st set There seems to be an epidemic of this in gyms across the land and I fucking hate it. I don't know if its like this in the US but it fucking is in the UK !! Forced reps are supposed to be a technique/tool in used order to push a very intense set in...

    Standing military press, belt or no belt ?

    Simple question for a non competitive lifter performing this exercise for overall deltoid mass. I already brace my core and squeeze my ass cheeks together for increased stability throughout the movement, but would a weightlifting belt help further increase stability or would it be...

    Larry Wheels bleeding out of his chest

    This guy is insanely strong and inspiring to watch, yet I've noticed during some deadlifting sessions he starts bleeding out of his chest ??!!! WTF is this ? Never seen anything like it before

    Thoughts on vegan lifestyle ?

    Not always the case. Jason Dwarika is a 30-something vegan muscle model/physique guy and looks fantastic and there's that 70 year old black guy who's name escapes me but there's a documentary floating around about him. It can definitely be done but for me it just seems far too much hassle...

    Levrone to return to 2017 Olympia?

    I really wasn't until recently when I saw contest footage of him in '80 and the late '70s Prior to this I'd only seen him in later (mid '80s) contests where he didn't look as good. This photo is taken from the '79 Olympia and is one of my favourite pictures, and poses from the Golden Era...

    Levrone to return to 2017 Olympia?

    Mentzer won the heavyweight class in '79 with a perfect score but the judges decided to give the overall title to Zane, who admittedly did look phenomenal that year

    Levrone to return to 2017 Olympia?

    I think the IFBB gave him this 'honorable pass' in 2016 as his presence would have allowed them to attempt to drum up further interest and ticket sales in what appears to be a bodybuilding audience who are losing interest in an increasingly predictable, monotonous and somewhat lacklustre Mr...

    TID Post up your Best Mass Routine!!!!

    I believe in and follow the Mentzer/Yates high intensity principles so everything is 1 set to failure (or very close to failure on deadlifts) after 1 warm up set with 50% of the working set poundage 2 workouts, A and B, alternated, both whole body: Definitely works for me (natural trainer...

    I'd say my motivation for training would be around 60% for appearance and 40% for strength (and health)
