Most bodybuilders believe that they have to prioritize barbell squats for the best and fastest thigh development. Not true…
In fact, the barbell squat is inferior to some other more biomechanically correct exercises, which trigger maximum loading and growth stimulation in all the muscles of the front thigh. [Read more…]
Q: I was wondering about Brignole squat [a.k.a. cable squat]. Do you think they are as good or better than sissy squats for quad mass? [Read more…]
I get it. Many bodybuilders, especially those under age 40, love going to the gym, piling on the iron, and squatting or bench pressing heavy. [Read more…]
I mentioned sissy squats as my ideal quad exercise. Even without weight, it’s given my thighs a solid muscular look at age 62.
But since I recently purchase a cable machine, I’ve been rotating in another ideal move named after the guy who kind of invented it—biomechanics expert and Mr. Universe winner Doug Brignole… [Read more…]
I’m all about safe, efficient muscle building. I want more muscle as quickly as possible, but without joint pain…
Over the years I’ve learned a few things which have given my workouts more mass-building power and allowed me to shorten my time in the gym significantly… [Read more…]
Here’s a unique shot of Arnold on a hotel balcony back in the ’60s. We’re not sure who took the pic, but our guess is it’s Hawaii, as the Oak’s flowered trunks suggest. [Read more…]
Arnold was arguably the greatest bodybuilder ever, but when he came out of retirement in 1980 to enter the Mr. Olympia in Australia, many thought he tarnished his legend status… [Read more…]
Q: I am blown away by your Positions-of-Flexion training. My gains have been unreal since I started using some of the three-position POF bodypart programs in the 3D Muscle Building e-book]. My question is that I’ve had knee surgery and therefore have some pain doing sissy squats [the stretch-position exercise for quads]. Is there a sissy squat substitute?
A: Ironically, we’ve had a couple of inquiries about finding a sissy squat substitute this week. The sissy squat is THE full stretch-position move for quads because the legs and torso remain on the same plane through the entire set. That provides full elongation in the quads in the bottom position. [Read more…]
Q: I’m using the Anabolic Reload Mass Workout and really feel the high-rep set first on the big exercises, like bench presses. I’m only 30, but I’m wondering if a few weeks down the road I should try using stretch-exercise-first workout in Chapter 8 [The Over-40 STX Workout] to get some new freaky mass?.
A: New research says absolutely. Not only will that high-rep stretch set first help you activate more fast-twitch fibers on the heavier sets that follow, it will also trigger a unique layer of muscle mass… [Read more…]
