The Ultimate Lifting Experience
In the pursuit of more muscle and strength, we’re all gullible enough to believe concrete rules that promise gains if we always do this and never do that. They make training such a no-brainer. Granted, these so-called rules of the gym carry some sound advice. That’s why you’ll forever overhear them during between-set banter and […]
How did you get started with bodybuilding? I started out just like any gym rat who worked out all the time but didn’t go into depth with having something to work toward like competing. I had two trainers approach me and ask me to try figure competing and that’s when everything took a turn for […]
Men,
How did you get started with bodybuilding? I began working out like everyone else to feel better about my build because I was always a skinny kid. Once I started seeing some good progress I decided to do some reading and asking the guys at the gym that knew what they were doing questions. From […]
In the 1970s, there was no need to consult grizzled mountaineers or your dentist’s dog-eared copies of National Geographic to find the world’s most awe-inspiring peak. Denizens of any local gym knew that impressive mountain could be found in Venice, California, where there lived and trained an Austrian-born mountain of a man bearing an equally […]
Long before the sight of Steve Reeves sporting gladiator garb made girls in poodle skirts swoon at drive-in theaters, there was Adonis. The legendary Greek figure, borne of a myrrh tree, was said to have possessed such unearthly physical beauty that even the goddess of love herself, Aphrodite, couldn’t help but fall head over heels […]
Men,
How did you get started with bodybuilding? I’ve always been into sports mainly to stay in shape for the military. When I got assigned to Japan I started focusing more on strength training and less on cardio and aerobic activities and I started noticing gains in my size and was very happy. One day I […]
Stretching the tape at an incredible 58″, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s chest had it all: size, shape, balance and definition. When he hit a side chest pose, his pecs arched so high that a glass of water could rest atop them. When he crunched into a most-muscular shot, they split into four discernible masses right and left […]
A creeping darkness envelops the stage while an anxious throng of people await, transfixed on the precipice before them. Moments pass and time stretches ever thinner, pulled inexorably apart by the tightening grip of anticipation. Suddenly, almost imperceptibly, a stirring echoes faintly from the emptiness. From far above, a light pierces through the black like […]
Men,
How did you get started with bodybuilding? It all started when I simply just wanted to switch my look from a more massive bulkier kid to a leaner more aesthetic body. I began cutting from 210 with a routine consisting of a 430am wake up, gym by 5, Stairmaster till 6 and I would run […]
Let’s not call it a revolution yet, but if the ’70s were the era of Arnold (double splits, high volume) and the ’90s were the years of Yates (high intensity, low frequency), then this decade may be remembered as the age of Doggcrapp. Try to ignore the name for now; instead, consider the fact that […]
