Resistance Training and Metabolism
Many are interested in increasing their metabolism and lifting weights is a great way to do so. Metabolism can be elevated for more than a day following an intense training session.
Toe Angle and Calf Raises
Bodybuilders have long altered toe angles in calf raises in order to emphasize either the inner or outer calf. Does this actually work?
Pre-Exhaustion Training
Many bodybuilders employ pre-exhaustion training in an attempt to increase muscle activation in compound movements. Research doesn’t support this theory, but there are other ways to achieve this effect.
Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine monohydrate is probably the most effective supplement for individuals looking to make gains in muscle size and/or strength. How much should you take to optimize this effect?
Lifting Belts
One way to improve your squat performance is by using a weightlifting belt. A good belt can help increase power production and won’t lower core activation like many people think.
Creatine HCL
Many claim that creatine HCL is more effective than creatine monohydrate but literally no evidence exists to support this claim. Monohydrate has much more evidence behind its efficacy.
