Bodybuilding

The healthier you can keep your spine, the longer you can train heavy and grow muscle. Here are my top-10, spine-friendly exercises.

In this first installment of the three-part series, let’s dig into the rationale behind reverse dieting and why it is so important for not only your growth as a competitor but your long-term health.

You have questions, team elitefts has answers. Today's topic: building muscle through rep ranges and exercise selection.

Stepping on stage is reserved for a special breed of lifter, but the lessons you learn from competing apply to all training goals. Here are the things my rookie bodybuilding season taught me.

As a passionate bodybuilder, it brings many a tear to my eye that the following chest, back, and hamstring exercises have been all but forgotten or underused by many lifters.

The goal was to create a training model that would maximize hypertrophy in minimal time and that would be “low tech, high effect” in its design.

It occurs to me that the large majority of whining is coming from physique competitors. Apparently no one has been honest with you up to this point.

If nothing else, this show proved I still have something left in the tank at 41 years of age.

I'm getting tired of hearing words like "politics" thrown around to scapegoat a lost competition. Yup, it's rant time.

If your leg development is lagging, it's time to start dragging.

My viewpoint runs counter to much of the current climate, which is dominated by the short-term perspective of a "hypertrophy phase."

This is a practical example of exactly what I ate during the sixth week before hitting the contest stage. Why is this important to you? Because it pushes right up to that life sucks and I hate dieting threshold.
