It’s tough to have brag-worthy arms if your biceps are lagging. But if you think endlessly pumping out bicep curls is the only way to build them, think again.

So whether you want arms like a gymnast or just want new, more challenging, and/or fun ways to...

Tea vs. Coffee: Which Drink Is Better for You?

In Shakespeare’s time, average folk believed the body contained four essential “humours,” including blood and bile.

Both brews provide energy, along with a constant stream of studies proclaiming their health benefits. But, in the battle of tea vs. coffee, is one “better” than the other? You...

Get the Results You Need When it Comes to Calf Training

This story has been told a few thousand times, but we’ll go again. In his bodybuilding heyday, Arnold Schwarzenegger was so embarrassed by the size of his calves that he cut off all his training pants at the knees (or maybe he just wore shorts) to shame himself into calf training.

Deficit Reverse Lunge: How To, Benefits, Variations

The great Dan John downplays the importance of lunges, while other coaches overplay their significance in the strength realm. No matter where you fall on the lunge scale, there is one fact most can agree on. They suck, and they’re difficult. IMO, almost every lifter will benefit by having a lunge variation in their program. The reduced support base means lifting less weight than your bilateral exercises, but you’ll be training more muscles due to the offset load and to...
