- If 'experts' recommend not to persist with plates under your heels when squatting then why do they not have a problem with raised heels on weightlifting shoes?
- Sweating heavily and having a constantly high heart rate for your whole training session isn't a prerequisite to elicit a mass/strength gaining adaptive response
- Decline presses are the closest thing to masturbation in the gym, like preacher curls they serve no purpose
- At the current rate of proliferation in ten years time there will be more power-lifting federations in the next 10 years than there are post offices
- A method that is highly effective for mass gain is to increase the frequency of sessions but ensure they are focused on movements with little eccentric component such as Olympic lifts, sled push/drag (check out Glen Pendlay's writing on the subject)
- You ain't hardcore unless you have yoke (Google Wendler Yoke)
- If you could collate every piece of information on the internet related to training and magically remove all of the bullshit you would be left with the articles of Mark Rippetoe, Jim Wendler and Glen Pendlay!
- I have no idea why so many young guys pay ridiculous money for bullshit pre-workout powders. Firstly, most of guys in their late teens and twenties already bomb down so many energy drinks daily (red bull etc): how much more caffeine do they need!! Secondly, watch these guys when they arrive at the gym the first 15 minutes is spent shitting out this mix!
- Whats with training in shorts and singlet in the middle of a freezing winter...cover the fuck up!
- If you don't track what you eat and don't get regular dexa scans or caliper tests for body composition then don't tell me your routine works because you wouldn't know!!!
- If you can find T-Nation articles without reference to their supplements let me know!
