Most everyone knows that bodybuilders use a lot of volume in their training. After all, volume is really the main ingredient in adding muscle mass. The problem starts when everyday people try to get jacked like bodybuilders and use that absurd amount of volume to get six pack abs. Now I’m not saying that we shouldn’t train that way, we can grow that way. At some point though we’ll need to back off. Here’s how to monitor your training volume for maximum gains.

I know I touched on this topic a week or two ago but I got another question from someone who hurt themselves deadlifting. While I can’t control their form and I haven’t seen their form, just based on their email and working with 100’s of people with the same condition, I know that if you get hurt with your deadlifts it’s because your glute medius is weak. So give a listen to how I helped this one indiviual improve his deadlift.

I recently was on a message board and I saw people talking about what works best for building hamstring muscle. They were comparing isolation movements like hamstring curls versus multi-joint movements like deadlifts. Some thought that the isolation movements were better since you can focus on the hamstrings more while others argued that a deadlift was the best thing for your hamstrings since you can use more weight. What do you think? Listen to the podcast then get training your hamstrings.

Most of us know that we need to do cardio to drop body fat and get six pack abs. That’s obvious right? Sadly, most people never think to do more cardio to burn fat when they hit a plateau. Now I’m not saying that you need to do a ton more cardio, what I’m advising is that you strategically add more. There’s certain times when you need to do more cardio but just kicking it up fast can wreck your gains. Here’s how to do it the smart way.
