Why You Should Leave Your Ego At The Gym Door

Why You Should Leave Your Ego At The Gym Door

So far I have primarily written science based articles, focused on providing information on nutrition, supplements, and training. To change things up, I have decided to get a little more philosophical. Ego. We all have one, whether we like to admit it or not, it's just a part of life. What matters is how big we let our ego get, and how much we let it affect who we are and the decisions we make.  The gym, in particular, is a place where the ego runs rampant if it goes unchecked. Just walk into any mainstream gym at peak-hour, and you...

Back Exercises You Don't Do, And Probably Should

Back Exercises You Don't Do, And Probably Should

While arms and chest often take precedent over the muscle groups behind us, nothing is more impressive than a big muscular back. The back muscles are an impressive group to train. They have so many functions and can be hit in so many ways, from so many angles, using such a variety of exercises. That said, as always you should focus on staples such as pull-ups, rows, and a few pull-downs. The problem with back training is, a lot of ego gets in the way and form often gets sacrificed. While it's important to move a decent amount of weight and put some...

How Much Protein Do You Really Need?

How Much Protein Do You Really Need?

One macronutrient has taken centre stage in people's quest to grow muscle, and that is protein. This is for a good reason too, as protein contains essential amino acids that our body uses to build muscle tissue. So you can see why this is handy in our line of work. In the health and fitness world, you hear many different things when it comes to how much protein you should be consuming. The big guy in the gym might tell you that you need to eat as much as possible, and he'll have you downing whey protein shakes with ungodly amounts of...

Is Stress Secretly Killing Your Gains?

Is Stress Secretly Killing Your Gains?

As gym goers, we try so hard to get everything right. Eating the right foods in the correct amounts (gym meals), taking supplements meticulously, mapping out our training, getting enough sleep, weighing ourselves, measuring ourselves and everything else that goes into getting gains. These steps are all taken so that the most muscle and strength can be gained. The only type of stress that gets talked about when it comes to training is the impact the physical stress of training itself has on our bodies. This is usually discussed in the context of allowing adequate time for our bodies to recovery from one...

Training Muscles Twice Per Week Guide: Gym Meal's Best Routines

Training Muscles Twice Per Week Guide: Gym Meal's Best Routines

How many times you train a muscle group per week is often a highly debated topic. Traditionally, especially in bodybuilding circles, it's believed that training a muscle group once a week is the best approach to growing muscle. This is mainly due to the belief that if you train a muscle more than once in a given week, it can lead to 'overtraining' and doesn't allow adequate time for your muscles to grow. Although there is limited research on the topic, one summary of research showed that training muscle groups twice per week led to more growth than training them that once...
