by Lee Boyce, CPT on September 4, 2012September 2012: How to Explode to Fast Muscle Commercial propaganda strikes again.

Thoughts on Squats
by Lee Boyce, CPT on June 4, 2012June 2012: Thoughts on Squats To squat or not to squat? That’s been an argument that’s dominated the strength training world for ages now.

by John Meadows on April 20, 2012
Summer is many a bodybuilder’s favorite time of year. The sunny skies and warm temperatures affords an easy opportunity for us to strut our stuff and expose that superhero physique we’ve been building all winter.

by Lee Boyce, CPT on April 4, 2012April 2012: A Women’s Must-Read for Healthy Legs Squats, deadlifts, ham curls.

Bands and Chains for Bodybuilding
by John Meadows on March 12, 2012I’m a national level bodybuilder and absolutely love the sport, but I’ll always have a soft spot for powerlifting.

by John Meadows on March 1, 2012March 2012: Powerlifting in the Offseason? I remember back in the mid 90’s training at Westside barbell.
