Having a washboard stomach or a six pack is a goal for most lifters, but many fall short because of the consistent dedication it takes to developing a strong core. A defined and muscular core shows health, stability and strength. A weak core not only looks bad, it can even make your other muscles less stable and more prone to injury during workouts or other strenuous activities. Your core muscles include the muscles of your lower torso, your oblique muscles, lower back muscles, and your abdominal muscles. These muscles are used in a wide range of movements and are involved in stabilizing your body during major compound lifts like dead lifts and squats. The stronger your core muscles are, the easier it will be to push yourself on the major lifts and avoid injury, so having a good regular core workout routine is a must for any serious lifter. A ...

Brad Pitt in Fight Club was in absolutely peak physical condition, being somewhere in the region of 5-6% bodyfat, Brad shows us what is possible with some hard dedication and a few months of training. Although being shredded Brad didn’t possess a load of muscle when playing Tyler Durden, his ripped abdomen and veiny arms make him appear far stronger and bigger than he actually was. At no point was he weighing more than 170 lb’s and his true weight would have been closer to 160. Brad’s routine wasn’t any different from a standard 5 day split, most people and other celebrities use to get in shape. He did include a higher amount of cardio than the average routine because I stress again he wasn’t concerned with building a lot of new muscle mass. He was very concerned and focussed around ripping away the fat to reveal the muscle he ... Read More »

Men and women both have as I’m sure you’re aware quite different body compositions, men are able to survive at a much lower body fat percentage than women, with women needing more fat to survive. The essential body fat for men is around 2% with many bodybuilders achieving 3-4% when in contest shape. The essential body fat for women is around 8% which is substantially higher. At this point abs are still very visible because women carry more fat on the breasts and organs which are essential for survival. To visualize body fat percentages here is a picture of a standard guy with 20% body ... Read More »

What is a Pre exhaustion leg workout? A typical leg workout and one that I have been using for years consists of doing the heavy compound movements such as squats and leg press at the beginning of the workout. This is when you have the most energy which allows you to lift heavier weights. With the weight being heavy more damage is caused thus resulting in more growth. So what about turning this all around and doing the exercise essentially in reverse? “If Arnold recommends it, it’s good enough for me!” There is little evidence that this causes any additional benefit when it comes to muscle growth but seeing as all the big name bodybuilders have and are using it, why not add it to your repertoire? I have always struggled to build larger quads and I have been implementing these in my workouts for around 1 month and have ... Read More »

The Complete Chris Hemsworth Workout routine I have already done a successful post on one actor called Chris Evans so I thought staying in tune with first names of Chris I would talk about Chris hemsworths’s workout routine.

The bodyfat percentage was not insanely low however he did manage to build himself a very manly physique. Being a norse God it kind of comes hand in hand. The routine revolves a lot around shock tactics, this is when you put your body in ... Read More »

Bicep Workouts for Mass – Build Thick Biceps! If you work out your biceps with exercises that don’t utilise the entire muscle then you could build biceps that look slightly out of proportion. For example being able to see ample amounts of bicep muscle while looking front on, however when you look from behind much less bicep is visible. This is because he/she has not utilised bicep workouts for mass. Instead of building a thick bicep the entire way around the arm, only the inner bicep has been built. Bicep workouts for mass are not like full body mass building exercises, you don’t have to lift heavy, it’s much more to do with the variation of lifts you perform. The aim here is to build a good peak to the bicep as well as a good width. Keeping good form is crucial for building good bicep mass. Overlifting can cause ... Read More »
