“Forever” is a long time. Dr. Hyght makes some good points and shoulder impingement syndrome probably explains a lot of the chronic issues I have with my shoulders. Still, many have used some of the exercises, like upright row, without any of the issues Dr. Hyght describes. The key is don’t do anything that causes [...]

Hyo – This article was recommended to me. Initially, I thought, “what a great article!” It started off great with the statement about the stupidest thing you can do in the gym. But from there on, as I went through it, I couldn’t help but wonder if it wasn’t just too complex. Don’t get me wrong, Mr. [...]

by Jim_Brewster, guest blogger Lately, due mainly to time constraints, I’ve had to get creative in some of my workouts as far as how I perform an exercise. Case in point, if I have 15 minutes to do a workout (sometimes I only have ten!) and it’s back day, for example, I will employ intensity [...]

4 Reasons to Squat
July 29, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Someone recently commented that squats were not necessary to building muscle or getting stronger or getting leaner. More to the point, he disputed the notion that the squat was the “king of exercises.” Not being an exercise guru, I actually could not disagree with that statement. After all, everyone responds differently to different exercises. Still, [...]
Rest-Pause to a Bigger, Stronger You
July 19, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Muscles get bigger, and get stronger; when we do more than we are capable of. If you can only do 9 repetitions, then you will only grow if you do 11 or 12 repetitions. Which on surface, sounds like a completely, idiotic statement. If you can only do 9, how the heck do you do [...]
