Just checking how everyone is in this crazy world at the moment... All healthy? How's training going? Hoping you're all well and safe.

Heya guys, was researching a bit on how to keep my immune system from plummeting after a hard training session (been getting sick alot of late), and came across a few different sources saying that carbs during or immediately after a workout can help prevent the lowering of immune system function...

Anyone had any experience with this supplement? Am just noting how incredibly cheap I've found it compared to whey protein... just wondering if it's still a viable source of protein and that's its actually going to be metabolised as protein in the body haha. I know there are debates on complete...

Found it very straightforward and insightful :) https://borgefagerli.com/the-short-and-sweet-borge-fagerli-guide-to-getting-bigger-and-stronger/

Say that three times fast... In my next cycle I'm gonna focus on delts and back. This cycle using chinups went really well, and managed to get to adding 20kg extra weight for 5 reps. Considering it's been more than a year and a half since I've done them I'm pretty happy with that! Gonna try...

Just curious whether anyone is a fan of doing BB Upright Rows. I know there are alot of thoughts on it being useless and dangerous, too harmful on the rotator cuff etc, but I actually quite like it. If I grab a wide grip and lean forward at the hips a slight bit it doesn't put that...

A very interesting study, unfortunately using untrained subjects *sigh*.. but perhaps they use them to show a big enough and significant enough variance in result. The mind-muscle connection or internal contraction focus has always fascinated me... I know Bryan has stated it's not that...

Thought I'd post a fresh thread about this. It's necessarily only about my experience, but burnout in general. I just don't know if I can perform myoreps anymore... most times I do myoreps, it's almost guaranteed that the next day I'll have a cold. It just keeps happening constantly, and it...

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has had much experience with the JM Press, and whether anyone likes them, benefits etc? Was invented by a powerlifter. Have tried them on and off through the years, sometimes the elbows are a slight bit uncomfortable during the movement, but they usually settle...

Hey guys, I rolled my ankle in a tournament recently, I can walk on it fine with no pain at all, but it still hurts quite bad at certain angles (if I turn my toes/foot inwards and do plantar flexion, it HURTS!). Anyone have any tips from experience to assist recovery? I don't think it's...

Thought this was an informative video :). Even though maybe more martial arts oriented, definitely an approach I'm leaning more into nowadays.. After years and years of training "all out" in every session (not only in weightlifting but in martial arts), it takes its toll. Their whole couple of...

Just curious... In the context of a HST cycle, I remember Borge said that it would be best to do myoreps when coming up to the end of a rep range, the last one or two sessions of 15RM and 10RM. But would it be a good idea to do myoreps, or even just a rest-pause setup during the submax rampups...

Hey guys, just had a curious thought.. Postworkout I drink about 400ml full cream milk with chocolate topping mixed in. Would it be more beneficial do you think to switch to skim milk for the purposes of postworkout consumption? As there is lower fat (or close to zero) in skim, would...

Heya guys, gonna start a new cycle soon, just wondering a few things if I could pick your brains... As in other threads I've mentioned my pelvic condition which is still an ongoing process of healing, so squats, deadlifts, RDLs are out of the question. So a few ponderings.. -Was wondering...

As stated in the other thread, thought I'd create this one. Whether this one has any lifespan or not I'm not sure, we'll see :). Bryan and all, I wonder if you could comment on quality of reps in an exercise and their effect. In the other thread you spoke of the neurological, metabolic and...

Thought I'd share what observations and things I've learned in 2017 regarding training, just for fun. And keeping in mind, they're not universal truths or anything, but just things specific to me that I've realised, so if it helps anyone else in the process that's a bonus :). 1) Recovering and...

Heyhey, thought I'd get another thread going. Something I've been researching a bit the last few years is the 3 mechanisms of muscle growth (Brad Schoenfield): Mechanical Tension (heavy loads), Metabolic Stress (higher reps/lighter loads, occlusion etc), and Muscle Damage (eccentric loading)...

Hey guys! Thought I'd start some threads to get some chatter goin! Am recovering from a few health issues at the moment, but when better I'd love to give HST a good run through. I've lost almost 6kg recently, but am sure it'll come back quickly once I start training again. Anyways, I was...

Heya guys, long time no chat! Posted back in the day, hope you are all well :) I recently had my appendix removed, and was told to avoid heavy lifting for about a month or so. I've read all sorts of things like no lifting more than 10lbs for at least 5 weeks (lifting how though is the...
