The trapezium is a tricky muscle group. Train it too much, and your upper body loses its V-shape and aesthetics. Train it too little, and you look like a pencil neck. Some bodybuilders don’t train it at all. Others dedicate 8 to 12 sets per week to it. You’ll find both top bodybuilders, and stark neophytes, who swear by the need to train it. You’ll also find veterans of the game and brand new trainers who believe it’s a mistake to hit them. Whoever you believe, the traps are an interesting and important muscle group. Here are a few ways…
Q: I began working out about 4 months ago. Recently, I started finally seeing some appreciable results. My arms are getting tones, my legs are starting to take some real shape, and my overall symmetry has improved. I just noticed though that one arm seems more toned than the other. I guess I notice it because it’s just in the beginning of my body’s alterations. Clearly, my right triceps is bigger than my left. I know it’s normal to have one arm more dominant, but this is not my dominant arm. How can I even things out? A: The truth…

Q: I’m getting conflicting advice about wearing a weight belt. Some say you need it to protect the lower back while others tell me I’ll never develop supportive strength around my lumber region by relying it. Can you sort this one out for me? A: Once upon a time it was only Olympic and power lifters who used lifting belts. Lately, however, it seems to have become gym chic to cinch a belt on and wear it throughout one’s entire work-out (apparently it enhances the v-taper). This, however, is not a good idea for several reasons: (1) Wearing a belt…
Talk about excuses! I’ve got a bad back. My knees are shot. It’s torture on my neck… yadda, yadda, yadda. You’d think the gym was hosting the local octogenarian crochet convention the way grown men whine like old women when it comes time to get under the rack. You’d figure that after all these years, they’d finally have it worked out – if you want to be a semi-buffed showboat, whine away – but if you want to be a bodybuilder, shut up and squat! WHY IT’S SO GOOD There really isn’t that much involved in squatting. All you’re doing…
Think flax oil is the be-all end all of fats? Is fish oil the only thing you swear by for contest prep? You may be surprised to hear that neither of those are serving you well. That’s because even humans who eat well and put a good foot forward in the area of nutrition, as well as performance, don’t get it right all the time.

It’s quite possibly our worst fear. It’s the one thing that makes us sweat even when we haven’t lifted a weight. It’s lack of motivation. Sometimes an injury can spur a dip in motivation, or maybe the sheer number of years we’ve been at the iron game. Whatever the cause, it’s a drag to fight a lack of motivation. Short of injury, the single biggest reason we lose our motivation to work out, diet or do cardio, is because we’ve been doing what we’re doing for far too long. Okay, so maybe not for too long, but too stale for…
Ketogenic diets have been around since the 1920’s – not just since the Atkins or South Beach Diet craze. They had a real public resurgence in 2003 and went strong for about 18 months until finally people not accustomed to discipline and knowing how to work the diet (the average Joe) saw that they could regain the weight as quickly as they lost it. But despite how much these diets have been recently villainized or labeled unhealthy, they are anything but. The benefits are many and far outweigh any negatives. Sadly, they are misunderstood and a lack of knowledge -…
