Manipulating Reps for Gains in Size and Strength
by Charles Poliquin
Perhaps the most important loading parameter in designing exercise
programs is not the number of sets, the tempo used, or even the
specific exercises employed, but the number of repetitions selected.
It is clear that the most important variable to strength training is
the amount of resistance used. The [...]

Whats up World? Wanted to share my training log this weekend. Was very good. Felt solid. But im sore as hell in my lower back. I need to rest it more.
Took my preworkout pills (2 caps, 1 hr pre workout, then 8 caps, 30-45mins preworkout)
They got me so fucking focused i felt i could squat [...]
I have been working on this article for a
little while now. I kind of get off one subject and on to another, but
they seem to blend together in my mind. I though about spliting them up
into other articles, but that did not seem right either. Anyway i hope
you like it even though its long.

The Intermediate Deadlift Cycle
By Mike Robertson
For www.EliteFTS.com
The deadlift may be the purest test of strength in the iron game.
Heavy weight. On the floor. Must pick it up.
In the beginning, you can follow just about any routine and make
decent progress. Heavy sets of five have worked for more than a few
lifters. However, once you get to [...]

Training For Size
By
Matthew Perryman, CSCS
For www.EliteFTS.com
I’ve actually been
working on this as a subset of a bigger project, but due to some recent
motivation, I’ve decided to edit it into an article format. The reason
is simple, if petty. The use of speed-oriented training both as a
modality in itself and as a means of auto-regulation has been prevalent

Off-Season/Pre-Season Training for the High School Athlete
By Grant Neary
For www.EliteFTS.com
It seems that the terms off-season and pre-season are synonymous in the
world of high school athletics. Most of the athletes who I train play
multiple sports or participate in the same sport in multiple seasons.
Unlike the college athlete, the high school athlete doesn’t have 16–24
plus weeks in [...]

New Scars
By Marc Bartley
For www.EliteFTS.com
Well, this is what’s going on…I’ve been pretty much confined to the
house since the Pro Am. This the first week I’ve been to my gym since
the meet. It hasn’t been the greatest month of my life—or year for that
matter—but other people got it much worse so I ain’t bitchin’ too much.
Well…maybe [...]

Supersetted Bench with Dumbells w/ Cable [...]
Hey whats up World, I know I have been MIA for about a week
now. I have been so busy with work and the doctors, I just never had time to
make it online to post.
Updates on Shoulder:
Went in to get the A/C Joint injected with a numbing agent
& Cortisone (I believe it was cortisone).
They were doing [...]

Please note: The only excercise i really went up during my sets was the bench w/ dumbells. The rest were just for a pump, and to get blood flowing. This was my first real “chest” workout in months.
Bench: - Tried decline, but felt pain
Bench w/ Dumbells:40lbs x 10 - started light, wanted to make sure [...]
