I have compiled a list of what I have noticed in the 35 years I have spent in gyms that I feel are the five biggest obstacles to growing a great set of titties. Also, ease up on the bench press.
In conjugate, accessory work plays a huge role, even if it isn’t one that gets the attention. Accessory work is going to help fill your gaps and prevent you from developing new ones.
In this clip from the first Table Talk Podcast, host Dave Tate and special guest Dan Green get to the bottom of this question… as well as what Dan means when he says the word “volume.” Is it muscle thickness? The amount of space an object occupies? Listen to find out!
While many coaches preach “do extra” before and after in order to perform arguably the most valuable aspect of group programming, your clients do not need to show up early for class or stay late to accomplish this.
When it came to warm-ups, I didn’t always practice what I preached. As it turned out, warm-ups have done me a solid and increased my strength, endurance, and recovery. Plus, they’re a great way to hone your techniques.
Since most units don’t really allow for rest days other than the weekend, I’m looking for the biggest-bang-for-my-buck exercises that I could be able to fit into a morning training session. Also, I’m working based on the assumption that Fridays are company/battery runs.
Consider two powerlifters who are identical in strength and technique, but one is 20 centimeters taller than the other. This height difference changes everything about the lifter’s levers, and thus volume needs.
The garage gym is getting a lot of use as of late, I am happy to say. It is frequently rumbling with young athletes who remind me of an important fact of the early training years.
There may be a strength discrepancy between your anterior and posterior chain, but are you sure this isn’t because some muscles are stuck doing a job they weren’t originally intended to do, in a position that isn’t optimal?
I realized this week that I made a huge mistake in my last table talk video…this is for the female lifters I left out.
You inevitably need to change up what you’re doing after stalled progress. What do you change? How do you go about deciding what to keep and what to remove?
Use these special techniques to boost your volume without crushing your recovery.
You have two options during the competitive months: progress or regress…I digress.
Remember the five Ds: Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and Dodge.
My goal in training is simply to be able to train my ass off for as long as I can.
It is time to get you ready to lift heavier more often than you ever thought possible.
As we get stronger, everything changes and we have to keep adapting the program in order to keep getting stronger.
More is better? Not always, especially in terms of your training.
