This article is dedicated as a motivator to anyone out there who feels it may be impossible to loose those extra pounds. I am not claiming that you can lose weight quickly or that there is a wonder drug that will make you magically lose weight. But David Smith’s story proves that if you set your mind to it you can lose weight.

If you are looking to build muscle you need to involve your fast twitch muscle fibers, fast twitch muscles are primarily engaged when lifting medium to heavy weight. Fast twitch muscles are responsible for strength, speed, and explosive power and will be stimulated best through grueling weight training sessions. I would suggest that you work out with 70% to 100% of your 1RM.

The Caveman Training Method seems to be popular among ultimate fighters and those in combat sports. If you are wanting to be the strongest man then you should take a look at this style of physical training. Caveman Training focuses on endurance and working with ones own body weight. This style seems to me to be a 300 workout for MMA fighters.

If you want to be the strongest man then you will need to work on your bench press skills to get there. I can not think of any bench press workout better suited to make you the strongest man than that of Ryan Kennelly the wold record holder in the bench press.

If you asked the average gym rat how to cut fat you will probably get an answer that involves hours spent on a treadmill, stationary bike, or elliptical machine. What you probably will not hear is someone telling you to throw more weight on the bar. However you should know that it has been proven [...]

This is a brief history of the bench press record. For as long as men have measure strength they have been competing to be the strongest man and there is currently no other record that is esteemed as high as the record for highest bench press.

This may run counter to what popular wisdom says about caffeine, but you can ignore all you have heard. Most of the bad things you’ve heard about caffeine are outdated, having been disproved by more recent research. I would like to look at the positive aspects of caffeine consumption, particularly as it pertains to making you the strongest man you can be.

This may not be the most important biceps exercise, but it’s my favorite. For maximum size and overall biceps belly mass, do standing barbell curls, but for maximum peak, hardness and split, nothing beats the concentrated pump from preacher curls. It packs my biceps so hard that they end up feeling as solid as forged [...]

This is not necessarily the most important triceps exercise, but it’s my favorite for pulling the horseshoe of muscle down the back of my arm, so my triceps look like a separate bulging twisted-steel bodypart of their own. Lying extensions offer a combined advantage of focusing heavy compound weight and concentrated stress into the triceps [...]

For separation of each deltoid head, I train them individually. For maximum mass and width of my entire shoulder girdle, and for full development of my total deltoid caps, military presses are the only solution. A free-weight barbell proportionately spreads the stress laterally across the shoulder beam, as well as distributes it evenly from front [...]

Get used to the expression “compound movement,” until it becomes a beloved cliche. It’s the key to my muscle mass for every bodypart; even more so for back, since that’s the most complex muscle group of all. It needs to be developed simultaneously for thickness, width, drape and detail, and that requires very heavy three-dimensional [...]

I never think of any specific muscle operating independently of any others. Each muscle has to accommodate stress vectors from every direction, in order to balance moving weight and apply variable power. This is especially true for legs. For those reasons, squats produce the greatest overall and naturally proportioned development, because all of the thigh [...]

No other exercise synergizes the entire complex of chest muscles as efficiently as barbell bench presses. This movement is so compound (requiring the coordination of pectoral muscles with all ancillaries and tie-ins to shoulders, traps, arms and midsection) that every chest muscle is developed proportionately.

Let’s get right to the guts of the matter. I could run through my list of favorite workouts, principles, techniques and combination of exercises, but it all comes down to one basic old-fashioned “best” exercise for each bodypart, without which you cannot reach your maximum mass potential. That exercise is not the only one in [...]
