The second is from Sean Nalewanyj of Muscle Gain Truth. Sean understands the process of muscle building completely. he knows that building muscles is not easy at all.

Building Muscle Workouts Intensify

I have something a little different today. This article comes from Zach Evan Esh the Underground Strength Coach. If you have never read anything from Zach your missing out. Zach is one of the most passionate trainers I have ever known.

When it comes to building strength and muscle anyway, anyhow Zach is the man. This article gave me some great motivation for my workout today and I bet it will for you too. Enjoy!!

Before the internet, the world of strength and serious bodybuilding was in it's very own little world.

A small culture of people who shocked the rest of the world for doing what they did:

- Lifting HEAVY and straining the body

- Eating like Gladiators

- Transforming their body / Growing Muscles that stretched shirts

- The ability to perform feats of strength


Well, after this weekend's USC Cert, we had a few guys in attendance who were in their 20s and they had never seen the movie,'Pumping Iron' with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I spoke of Franco Columbo deadlifting a small car and how the bodybuilders from back in the 70s were more of a hyrbid power-bodybuilder because they lifted so heavy.

They also were BIG proponents of bodyweight exercises performed in high volume and / or with LOTS of added weight.

Arnold would perform back workouts by performing mixed grip pull ups until he could NO longer hold onto the bar!


Other times it would 5 sets each of chin ups, behind the neck chin ups and close grip chin ups.


When is the last time you saw anyone cranking out 15 sets of pull ups?


There is a man by the name of Marvin Eder, who was known for his astonishing strength NOT just in exercises such as dips and chins, but his strength in the powerlifts and the military press.

He weighed under 200 lbs yet would perform parallel bar dips with 2 men, each hanging from his legs.

His workouts motivate me to consider 100 dips a warm up, NOT a workout.

Marvin could also squat 500 plus pounds for 10 deep reps and had a bench press over 500 lbs as well.


This reminds me: I am NOT strong enough and have lots of work to do ahead of me.

What about you, are you strong enough yet?

Are you satisfied with your strength in the below movements?


- Squat

- Deadlift

- Strict Press

- Dips

- Chin Ups

I'm gonna be hitting a playground workout shortly, and at the gym later tonight I'll be squatting and deadlifting.

Morning will equal tons of push ups, pull ups and dips. Evening has Squats and Deads.

I'm pretty fired up, motivated to be stronger.

I'll be training Rutgers Wrestling Team today as well.

I am excited to see the damage they're going to be dishing out as they get stronger and stronger training at The Underground Strength Gym, and, we'll be blasting their conditioning levels to a whole new level.


Once again....

All this talk of Marvin Eder and the men of amazing strength reminds me:

I am NOT strong enough and have LOTS of work to do ahead of me.

What about you, are you strong enough yet?

Lead from the front.

How To Build A Ripped, Rock-Solid Chest

Everyone wants a huge chest, plain and simple.

It is all too common to see inexperienced lifters slaving away
on endless sets of bench presses and cable crossovers in search
of full, thick pecs. The reality is that there is nothing
complicated about building an impressive chest.

The bottom line for huge chest gains is consistency, effort and
steady progression in weight and repetitions.

To stimulate the chest using weights you will be using one of
two motions: a press or a flye. If you want the greatest bang for
your buck from your chest workouts, the true gains lie in your
pressing movements.

Here are the most effective lifts for packing muscle onto the
chest:


1) Flat/Incline/Decline Barbell Bench Press

A standard barbell press is the meat and potatoes of any
effective chest routine. This basic compound movement will allow
you to handle the most weight through the given range of motion.

The incline press will shift more of the stress to the upper
region of the chest while the decline does the opposite,
targeting the lower/outer region. The flat bench press works the
upper and lower regions equally. I highly recommend a standard
barbell press as a basic component of your chest routine.


2) Flat/Incline/Decline Dumbbell Press

Dumbbell presses are another basic and highly effective movement
for stimulating chest development. The main advantage that they
have over the barbell is that they allow you to move through a
more natural range of motion, helping to prevent shoulder
injuries.

They also prevent strength imbalances from occurring since one
arm can't cheat for the other.


3) Wide-Grip Dips

An amazing movement for the chest that is often overlooked. Make
sure to use a wider grip and lean forward to shift the stress
from the triceps onto the pectorals.

If pressing your own body weight is not sufficient then you can
always add resistance using a weight belt.


**Sample Chest Routines**

Chest Routine# 1

Flat Barbell Bench Press: 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps
Incline Dumbbell Press: 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps
Wide-Grip Dips: 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps

Chest Routine# 2

Incline Barbell Bench Press: 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps
Wide-Grip Dips: 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps
Flat Dumbbell Press: 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps

All sets should stay within the 5-7 rep range and should be
taken to concentric muscular failure. Write down the details of
each workout you perform and focus on progressing in either
weight or reps from week to week.

If you want full, thick pecs, that’s all there is to it!
