Thread 'How to Perform the Zercher Squat For Strength Training'
In many cases, a lifter’s leverages, injury history, or both, can frustrate his ability to perform well in large compound movements. Sadly, it’s left many with no choice but to abandon these moves and any variations for redundant sets of isolation training on machines, or movements that don’t provide as much bang for their buck from a strength training perspective. Squats are one of the biggest victims of this problem and this is where the Zercher squat separates itself from the rest...

Thread 'The Ultimate Guide To Progressive Overload and Muscle Growth'

The term refers to gradually adding weight (or reps at the same weight) on an exercise as you are getting stronger. Progressive overload is nothing new. But despite the fact that it’s almost as old as...

Thread 'Contrast Set Training: The Hidden Key to Muscle Growth'
What many people don’t realize about hypertrophy is that it’s basically isolated conditioning, supplemented by higher caloric intake to make muscles grow.

And truth be told, under that umbrella, there are many ways to skin a cat and that one less popular method that’s worth its weight in gold is the use of...
