Ways to Shoulder Press

Image
The overhead press is to shoulder training what the squat is to leg day: the foundational movement from which all other exercises for its respective muscle group stem. When it’s time to train delts and decide on your workout for the day, the first question should be: What type of overhead press am I going to do? Believe it or not, there are many more ways to answer this question than just “barbell” or “dumbbells.” Those pieces of equipment are in the discussion, of course, but so are machines and kettlebells; bilateral versus unilateral; pronated, supinated, or neutral grip; and seated, standing, or even kneeling. The overhead press (aka “shoulder press”) is a movement with way more variants than most guys utilize. Below are six such options, all of which should be fair game the next time you train delts. 1. Seated Dumbbell Press When you sit during your dumbbell press, you can lift more weight because you can use your back to push against the seat. This means you can grow your musc...

The Push/Pull/Legs Routine for Best Muscle Gains

Image
Mass-Building Basics Push, pull and legs is a very simple, yet effective training split for anyone, ranging from those picking up their first barbell to hardened gym veterans. Push workouts include chest, shoulders and triceps. Pull workouts take care of back and biceps. While leg workouts cover quads, hamstrings and calves. The reason it works so well is that it places more emphasis on multi-joint compound exercises than on isolation-based exercises. Don’t expect set after set of pec deck and preacher curls in this program. The main reason for the majority of these workouts being comprised of compound exercises is exercises like barbell bench press, squats and deadlifts offer the most ‘bang for your buck’. They involve multiple muscle groups and allow the most room for progression of reps and weight. This means more growth for you. Putting It All Together The basic premise of any push, pull and legs programme will always be similar, but there will be subtle differences for those ju...

Doing Cardio While Building Muscle

Image
If you asked me a few years ago what I thought about doing cardio when muscle building, I’d have quoted the following: ‘Never run when you can walk. Never walk when you can stand. Never stand when you can sit. Never sit when you can lay down. Never lay down when you can sleep’. While I still agree with this to an extent, the quote is better off reserved to only those who can effortlessly stay lean year round and struggle to gain any weight. So without further adieu, here’s the real deal on doing cardio while trying to gain size and strength… If you are a beginner who also happens to be a ripped ectomorph who has to fight for every ounce he gains (e.g. a classic hardgainer), I suggest that you lay off cardio almost entirely for at least 8-12 weeks. Get your training and diet down and pack on some size. In that time you should be able to gain at least 15lbs of muscle if not 20+. After you have done that you can add in some cardio. I would start with three weekly sessions of twenty min...

Build Muscle Strength Fast

Image
Strength has long been a point of comparison with others and a way of rating our physical prowess in the gym. Remember: new exercise should always be undertaken with professional help, and you should consult a doctor before starting if you have any pre-existing medical issues. With the advent of Sports Science and the continued research that is being done we now know more about how to gain muscle strength fast than we have ever done in the past. Ironically there is very little that has changed except the most important discovery, which was the proof that high intensity will get faster results than normal training. We know that training for strength is the fastest way to build muscle or lose fat as well any other physical permanence like running faster or hitting harder. If strength is your primary objective then you need to start with the basics which are the big four compound movements that have proven themselves to work. The ‘big four’ are the squats, deadlift, bench-press and sho...

German Volume Training

Image
Pauses between repetitions make it possible to take heavier loads and thus to recruit fibers with a high activation threshold. Eccentric training is excellent for overcoming strong trays. What is important to remember is that (provided you put intensity!) Everything works, at least, during the first weeks necessary for adaptation. But the German Volume Training is in a class of its own. The origins of German Volume Training Nevertheless, there is a training system that places a notch above the rest; brutal and difficult, but very effective to gain inches quickly. In the middle of the force this method is called the 10 x 10 method. I prefer to call it German Volume Training (GVT) because it was born in the days of both Germanys. As far as I know this method was popularized in Germany in the mid 70's by Rolf Feser who was at the time the national coach of the weightlifting team. In the United States, Vince Gironda promoted a similar approach. But whoever is at the origin, it is abov...

A Simple Workout Routine to Get Big Fast

Image
But with all of the traffic out there regarding specific plans, protocols, and formulas, it’s easy to bang your head against the wall and fall into the black hole of frustration and confusion. Drowning in information makes the temptation to throw in the towel even stronger. Another trap is to become a plan jumper. Are you constantly switching from plan to plan without any real commitment to one for a significant period of time? Do you lack any real results from the last six months of training? How about the last year?  You might need to start over. If what you are doing now is working, then by all means don’t stop. But if you’re the type I talked about above, then an intervention may be in order. You may feel comfortable in what you’re doing; you may be strong in certain areas and like that feeling; or you may just be a creature of habit and fear change. Whichever category you fit into, you have to ask yourself a serious question: Is what I’m doing getting me closer to my ultimate ...

The Best Full-Body Barbell Workout

Image
A great full-body workout that builds strength and burns fat doesn’t have to be complicated. Our barbells for men and women are all you need for a great workout that can be done with limited time and space. FLOOR PRESS This exercise targets your chest. I would strongly suggest finding a power cage but if you can’t do that, getting a squat rack with modifiable safety arms or J-hooks set just a little bit under the barbell when your arms are locked out. The correct way to do this exercise is to lie supine under the barbell, which should now be right over your eyes, like you were about to do a bench press. You will need to spread your legs and lay them flat on the ground to get them fully disassociated from the rest of the effort that your body is providing to complete this exercise. This will put the pressure on your upper body instead. I would suggest doing this exercise with the exact same grip you take when you do bench presses. Your forearms should be perpendicular to the ...
