Many articles have been written about the woes of overtraining. Lots of authors like to wax philosophical to those people without the heart to train like madmen for hours per day in pursuit of a larger and thicker body. It’s true that many bodybuilders can’t keep up with the demands in terms of diet and recovery that are needed to train using high volume. It’s also true that many lifters are just plain lazy, and are quite attracted to the prospect of only training 25 minutes, three times per week. Whatever the cause, high-intensity, low volume training has its fan…

Some men walk into the gym as 25-year old bean poles, finally ready to overcome the curse of skinniness they’ve worn their entire lives.

It’s all in the genetics, right? Let’s look at a few body types and determine what advantages and disadvantages you’ll have once you enter the…

If you’ve been a fan of the classical or Iron Age period of bodybuilding, you no doubt remember a time when the forearms stood out like they just don’t do today. They started small at the wrist, and then worked their way out to a point where they almost peaked like the biceps. They were lean, striated with veins, and just looked incredible. Men like Casey Viator and Steve Brisbois come to mind. They had forearms the likes of which have been unseen on bodybuilding stages in the last 10 or 15 years! Today’s bodybuilders are more massive than they…

When you enter the gym to train arms, you have to give certain exercises priority over others. After all, some movements simply work better than others. You cannot dedicate equal energy to every single exercise for a body part. You’d never place cable crossovers on the same level as incline bench press, when it came to chest. You’d never place leg extensions on the same plane as squats, when it came to leg training. Yet for some reason, many bodybuilders seem to just toss any and all exercises at the arms in the hopes of saturating them with a wide…

Q: I have great legs – everyone says so. However, I want more meatiness near the knee joint. I have such tiny joints and the more muscles I have near those joints, the better. How can I do this?

Mostly, I’d do extensions immediately followed…
