Leverages will influence your ideal deadlift stance, but that's only one small part of finding your weakness is.

Friday, March 11, 2016 - It's more than likely that you recently devoted your energy to pursuing pleasure instead of getting your work done. It's time to pay the piper by catching up on your chores today, even if that means turning down a leisurely lunch or an evening out with your friends. However, attempting to do everything at once only creates more complications. The most straightforward route to success is traveled by prioritizing your tasks now and then attacking them in order, one after another, until you are finished. A goal without a plan is just a wish.

All the benches at the gym taken? Don't abandon chest day—hammer your pecs with these moves instead.

If you'’re looking to add muscle mass to your frame, hitting the weights hard is a given. Quality time in the gym begins a cascade of changes that will stimulate your muscles to grow bigger in response to the challenges you throw their way. It'’s tempting to think that'’s all it takes to add muscle to your body. After all, you can actually feel your biceps growing after an intense set of curls. That pump is tangible, real-time biofeedback to let you know that blood is flowing to your muscle cells, beginning a chain of events that stimulates protein synthesis. Maybe that'’s why it's easy to overlook how important good nutrition is in the mass-building equation. When you choose to eat, say, chicken instead of ice cream, there'’s no immediate muscle gratification -- no pump to keep you motivated. Make no mistake: Eating for muscle is just as important as lifting for muscle. The foods you grab in the morning on the way to work, the meals you pack for lunch and mid-afternoon, what you put into your body immediately following your workout, and your final meal of the day impact your results as much as, if not more than, the number of reps you squeeze out at the end of a set.

If I had a nickel for every time a person asked me to “make a muscle,” I would be one wealthy dude. The funny thing is, when I get that request I am always tempted to flex my back or calf since all they asked for was a muscle. Of course, however, I know what it is they want to see, and that is the biceps. But what most people don’t realize is that it is actually the triceps that create most of the arms’ mass, so when a lifter throws up an arm and puts on a gun show, they are actually gawking at more tri than bi.

If you are consistently eating too much protein, your body will increase the amount of enzymes that burn protein for energy. Also, when bodybuilders eat too much protein, they tend to fall short on other nutrients—including essential fats, fiber, fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. Aim for 30% of calories from protein. This will lend plenty of substrate for protein synthesis and hypertrophy without leading your body to oxidize protein and displace other nutrients.

This article is about drawing the line in the search for honest reporting on weight gain, fat loss, and the growing concern about “belly fat.” It was originally scheduled to be published on a mainstream media site. But one editorial request for clarity turned into another for additional research, turned into a game with one agenda: no desire to post an article that clearly opposes a vested interest in a popular book.

Sadly, satisfaction isn’t a guarantee when you have sex in the real world. That means if you’re looking for an encore performance or a recurring role as a sex partner or friend with benefits, you need to earn your spot on the roster. In other words, you need to be on your A game. So if one of these seven sex-related issues has, uh, popped up in the past, try implementing the corresponding remedy so it doesn’t happen in the future.

Preparing food takes plenty of focus—so make sure you're taking the right precautionary steps.

From permanent pit stains to pants that don’t fit your quads, here are 5 frustrations—with solutions!—that muscular men face.

What follows are seven examples of machine exercises that have distinct advantages over their free-weight equivalents. Each focuses on a different body part. Only hamstrings and calves are excluded, and only because nearly every exercise for those areas is performed with a machine. This is not an argument against the seven free-weight equivalents, all of which are valuable exercises. Instead, it’s meant to highlight the advantages of some machines so you’ll better understand why to include them in your routine.

If you want to be the best bodybuilder you can be, and you don’t suffer from chronic knee or hip issues, then you should make the squat your best friend— whether you like it or not. Below, I’ve compiled some tips to keep in mind the next time you climb under a bar.

Get Craig's Full Program Here | http://bbcom.me/1pC6w19 Craig's Recommended Supplements | http://bbcom.me/1pC6xC4 My goal for day 14, which is right around the corner, is to be under 220 pounds. I've got a lot of work to do in the next few days, and I don't like to leave anything to chance. I might have to pick up a little extra cardio. We'll see how things shake out. Do you have a goal for the half-way point of this program? What is it? Do you think you're on track to get there? If you're not quite where you want to be, what are your plans to get there? You do what you have to do on this program; there are no excuses. Give yourself every advantage. About 20 minutes before I hit the gym, I usually mix BCAAs with an actual pre-workout supplement. The BCAAs help me with endurance and help me feel less sore. The pre-workout supplement will provide me with energy and focus as I get into the gym. The video you're about to watch is very near to my heart.

For instance, perform wide-grip pullups to just shy of failure. Immediately bring your grip in and turn your palms to face you so you’re doing a chinup. Do as many chinups as you can and then bring your hands in even closer so you’re doing a close-grip chinup with hands nearly touching. On pushups, you could start with your hands touching (a diamond pushup) and then move them out to shoulder width. When you can’t do any more reps like that, place your hands on a bench or seat so your body is at an incline—a much easier position to do pushups in. Rep out to failure.

The second half of the program is all about maximizing size with slightly higher reps and an emphasis on intensity. Rep ranges move up to 10-12 for most exercises, which is ideal for promoting muscle hypertrophy (growth). Overall volume increases slightly during these two weeks, mainly due to the addition of isolation exercises that you’ll perform before compound movements for your chest, back, shoulders and legs. Called pre-exhaustion, this technique dramatically increases workout intensity. You fatigue the main target muscle with an isolation exercise, then hit it in this fatigued state with a compound move, which if done right will lead to your main muscle failing before assistance muscles give out. (For example, for chest the dumbbell flye hits the pecs directly, so your triceps shouldn’t end up being the weak link and cause the termination of the set during the bench press).

Without a doubt, you can add muscle simply by eating right and lifting weights. But to truly maximize your growth potential, supplements are a requirement. Hence, we've compiled a rundown of the 11 best mass-gain supplements on which to spend your hard-earned cash. They're listed in order of priority, from the absolute most critical, can't-do-without supplements to the less crucial yet still highly effective ingredients for packing on size. The point is to help those on a tight budget decide which supplements to buy. If money is no object, then by all means knock yourself out and use them all as directed. Because after all, as far as we're concerned, you can never have too much muscle.

Arnold’s early training wasn’t sufficiently high in volume. “For many years, I did only five sets of squats when I really should have been doing eight…[and] I did not put enough weight on the leg-press machine,” he said. “Once I realized my mistakes and corrected them, my thighs began to grow thick and massive.” At his peak, Arnold did at least 20 working sets for legs and took each set except his warm-ups to failure. This high-volume approach helped him put on the size and build the strength (his best was a 400-pound squat for eight reps) that turned around a weak bodypart.

While the latissimus dorsi is the largest primary muscle group of the back, there are several other secondary groups crucial for building the complete x-frame. These seven compound movements with a barbell will not only significantly develop your lats but also aide in strengthening your rhomboids, serratus, and all areas of the trapezius muscles.
