stadium bleachers for your next aggressive workout. I want you to look past the idea of running up the stairs this time. Visualize your approach to “bear climbing” up the steps and “bear climbing” down the steps. Yes, this is your unorthodox approach to physically tackling the stadium’s steps. I want you to climb up and down the steps using your hands and feet. I believe running the stairs is a fantastic method of increasing your heart rate and targeting your legs, however, why not increase your heart rate and rip up your entire body for a different change of pace. The muscles that will primarily take the work load are you’re:

behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.” ~ Muhammad Ali
There have been a lot of people asking what this category is about. It’s about balance and symmetry to help present the most aesthetically pleasing physique in the eyes of the judges and crowd. Part of achieving that is admitting to yourself what your weaknesses are and improving upon them. Mine happen to be my shoulders. I thought I had pretty good shoulders. My girlfriends never complained…but now that I think about it, maybe that’s why they are all ex-girlfriends now. My deficiency was made very clear in Chicago as I showed off my golf ball sized delts next to the likes of Kevin Perod and Alex Carneiro. Kevin looked like he was wearing a pair of football shoulder pads. WTF?!?!
leanest and meanest causing you to spend hours of time in the gym thinking that more is better? Endless curls watching yourself in the mirror thinking "Will these things ever get bigger?" Back in the day, I remember lifting shoulders and pressing 120"s with taped wrists and super sets til the cows came home. We'd run up to mickydees and slam down a few burgers and fries and a shake and head back and continue the workout. 3 hours later, I walked out of the gym feeling tired and unable to lift a thing. I later found that, like a lot of things in life, when you overdo something, the results are not always as fruitful as we'd like them to be. I couldn't eat or supplement enough to repair the torn down muscles and my body just wasn't improving. My problem was that I was over training. My inability to just leave well enough alone and quit while I was ahead, was becoming an impediment on my training.
our emphasis on pre-contest diet and prep. I rarely hear competitor’s discuss what they are doing after the contest with the exception of pizza, beer, cheeseburgers etc… So in this article I wanted to discuss the importance and safety on how to take care of your body AFTER you have hit the stage. The show is over; whether you won or placed I’m sure you gave your best! Now what? Get some pizza with everybody, slam a 2 liter of Pepsi and get ready to hammer chest on Monday so you have a head start for the next competition? Not exactly the best plan...
e V-taper effect is awesome looking. Shoulders, however, are very complex. Due to the many angles at which your arm can move, the chance for injury to the shoulder joint is very high. In addition, to work the deltoid muscles properly, the athlete must learn to anchor himself at certain points of the body and focus on targeting all aspects of the deltoids and traps. I prefer a regular bench press bench with the high back as opposed to "shoulder press benches" in which the back is too short and turns the exercise into an incline press. Anchoring the butt and the midpoint of the traps to the chair with a small gap in the lower back is a good form to follow. I also, sometimes, anchor the base of my skull to the back of the bench for that extra contact which places all that emphasis on my delts...
If ever you've walked into the gym and seen the one individual who was tossing his or her weights around, producing movements as if to be taken over by inner demons, you can imagine what a short lived bodybuilding career this person would have. Men’s Physique training takes dedication and a whole heck of a lot of hard work. The body is to undergo much stress and pain if one is to be a successful competitor. However, the stress doesn't have to turn into strain. The pain should be the type that furthers your growth not hinder it. Understand that the body will respond and produce more rapidly by practicing proper movements. Not using your body as a torquing device to lift a weight is wasn't meant to lift, is paramount. So many athletes end their careers needing prosthetic knees and constant physical therapy due in part, partially, to the poor form they used for so many years in the weight rooms...

16. Avoid artificial sweetener hype. If you are like the rest of us, you see food products everywhere in flashy boxes that read “Sugar Free” and think…awesome, I can eat this and stay lean. Not so fast my friend!
Many of these foods have tons of calories and are LOADED with artificial ingredients. Most people don’t realize this because artificial sweeteners generally have zero calories, but artificial sweeteners can and will make you fat. How is this possible?
First, these fake sweeteners increase your appetite by sending false signals to the brain that sweet food is on the way. Your brain subsequently becomes confused when sweet food never arrives and so it never gives the signal that you are satisfied.
Plus they give you a constant sugar craving that never goes away…it only gets worse! If you have ever drank sugar free crystal light you know exactly what I mean!...
If you don't know what the 21 technique is let 
me explain it really quick. When doing any exercise you generally are operating in 2 separate ranges of motion. First range of motion is start point to midpoint and the second is midpoint to finish. Normally you perform an exercise using complete range of motion which would be start point to finish.
With 21's you instead perform 7 reps of an exercise in the first range of motion(start point to midpoint) , followed immediately by 7 more repetitions in the second range of motion (midpoint to finish), and immediately precede that by doing 7 more repetitions using full range of motion (Start-point to finish). This allows you to pre-exhaust the muscle you are training separately in each of the 2 ranges of motion before performing the exercise in its full range of motion...
