Let's face it - we all go the gym to progress. We want more strength and more muscle (generally).  And depending on what you train for, you may favour one of those outcomes over the other, however, this article is still important for all gym goers. I wanted to address one study that in particular looked at the barbell squats and volume amongst (oh yesss) TRAINED...

  As technology gets better, certain aspects of our lives get easier, too. But it doesn't always work out that way. Something I've noticed amongst the general public is the failure of fitness apps and the so-called near perfect scales - actually helping people go backwards. Whilst they have their benefits, there are many downfalls people are not aware of! Let's dive into them. The Scales Aren't...

    It's one of the age old questions from all of us - are we better off training in the morning or afternoon? I've written about this before - and our trusty friend science has provided some more information around this topic. Whilst the new study I'm about to bring you is not a 100% concrete final answer - it will give you plenty of thoughts to...

Those who know me know I've never taken steroids in my life and have ZERO plans to do so - this article is about looking the...

  We all know the feeling... When someone's yelling at us and pumping us up almost as much as the weight itself - we tend to perform more reps. There's no surprises here, external motivation in the form of other people does wonders for us! Compare this to some of those lonely days/nights in the gym where you're not feeling it, and there's no one there to motivate...

    If I had a dollar for every person who complained to me over the years of a shoulder injury - I'd have quite a nice amount of cash! As you're probably aware, trying to fix a shoulder can be difficult and frustrating. Whilst your gym buddies are posting their personal bests everywhere, you're treading water and wondering when the hell you'll be...

    There's not too many women hitting the gym now who don't want a solid gym booty .. Like flared jeans and long hair in the 70s, we'll look back on this era where Jennifer Lopez and many other celebrities used their music and following to spawn a generation of plump derrières. Whilst it's been achieved by many, and some women from parts of...

  The next time you're heading to the gym to pump arms - think back to this article! Preachers curls (as seen above) look terrific, and we love being able to watch our biceps fill with flood as we bring the weights up and grunt like a grizzly. But is it as good as some of the other bicep exercises we can do? To answer this...

  It's true - some women just have bigger booties without doing much to achieve them. In fact some just go as far as sitting on them only - yet they remain so round and plump! And some races, particularly the Brazilians, are blessed with larger derrières on average compared to some other races. So why is that? Brazilian Booty - Why Your Buttocks May Be Bigger Or Smaller  Obviously...

  Push-ups - damn they're underrated! And if you're travelling and want to keep working your pecs, you're about to learn why they're so efficient. In this research (1), 20 subjects with strength training experience were split into two groups: Group 1: Bench Presses twice a week for five weeks Group 2: Push-ups Now I know what you're thinking - how the hell can you compare bench presses...
