Torque-Curve Training for New Muscle Mass
Q: I commend you on your Positions-of-Flexion training methodology. What a logical way to completely work each muscle. It’s helped me improve my muscle size and physique considerably at age 56. Sometimes I do all positions at each workout, while other times I’ll use the split-positions approach [in Old Man Young Muscle 2]. Question: Do you switch up your exercises a lot, or do you have a core group that you always use? [Read more…]
Younger = Extra Sets for More Mass?
Yesterday I addressed the question from a 75-year-old trainee who felt that the OMYM2 workout was too much for him… [Read more…]
New POF Mass Method: How to Use It to Grow
Q: I always get training ideas from your ebooks. The new ones are your best, IMO, and I love the workouts. Showing each one with every exercise pictured is a great help.

I feel you don’t really need dumbbell flyes because cable flyes train both stretch and contraction. Do you think using only cable presses and cable flyes is more efficient? [Read more…]
New POF Mass Workout vs. Ideal Only
Q: I like using all three Positions-of-Flexion exercises for each muscle [as in the New POF Workout in the Ultimate-Mass Exercise Guide]. But doing it twice a week feels like too much. Can I do full POF at one workout and then the ideal exercise only at the next? [Read more…]
Stretch NOT the Magic Mass Maker?
Q: I switched to the [stretch-exercise-first] workout in Old Man, Young Muscle, and I saw immediate muscle-size increases. Why don’t bodybuilders use stretch exercises first most of the time? Or rely more on stretch exercises in their workouts? It’s working gangbusters for me. Thank you.
A: There are reasons why stretch exercises aren’t emphasized more: temporary gains. [Read more…]
