If muscle size is directly proportional to strength, how do you explain Dennis Rogers and The Mighty Atom?

Tight muscles under the chin could be a sign your body is fighting an infection. Jaw soreness could be a sign of a heart condition. I wouldn't really worry about it too much though. Just try to take care of yourself, and you should be fine.

If you are only interested in strength, then focusing on it is important. That means little, to no cardio style workouts. Do both low weight, high rep sets, pushing through the burn, and high weight, low rep sets struggling against your max. Exhaust the body parts you are working on, trying best your previous workout each…

The self proclaimed, and widely recognized king of PWs is Mesomorph. It's not very well known though. If it was, it would probably be off the market. Just a disclosure, but today's pre- workout enthusiasts might be tomorrows heart patients.

Sustained cardio is more efficient in burning calories. One of the best calorie burning workouts is moderate speed walking at an incline. You can do two hours that way and burn way more calories than doing HIIT training, because HIIT cannot be sustained that long. I remember sprinting the straightaways and walking the…

Learn how to juggle. You can watch YouTube tutorials. At first, you suck. But if you keep coming back to it, you get better and better, like magic. You'll probably be juggling within a week if you practice for 5 minutes, a few times per day. That will improve your hand - eye. An agility ladder is good to improve footwork.…

You are getting sleepy. Veeeery Sleeepy. You love strength training. You can't wait to strength training again, because you enjoy it so much. When I snap my fingers you will awaken with love for strength training. Snap!

Landing more-so towards the front of your foot, instead of your heal, will take stress off your knees.

I can't believe with all this advise no one mentioned landing more-so towards the front of your foot. I had knee problems when I was striking the ground with my heal. It went away when I began striking the ground more towards the front of my foot. Now, my calves just get really sore.

You can also try taking a B complex vitamin about 8 hours before your workout and eat something sugary like raisins or figs before your workout to keep your blood sugar up. Reducing the weight you're lifting, as mentioned previously, is also probably a good idea.

The stationary bike was one crazy quad burn, but lasted too long during a 20 minute workout. I like the burn I get lifting weights since it just lasts between a few seconds to maybe a couple minutes. I'll also get this wave of heat when the burn gets really intense and some relief, like I just broke through a barrier.

Bulky muscles weigh you down. They slow you down, so you can't run as fast. Look at the guys in the UFC. There's a reason, besides drug testing, that they don't look like bodybuilders. All that muscle means you'll burn out quickly, and then it will be of no use to you. That's why I want the strength without the bulk, like…

I know what you're referring to. It can take tremendous focus and will power to lift a big weight. It's just so short lived and turns you into more of a Mark Henry. Sustaining that burn works your mental toughness in a way lifting heavy does not. I'm not trying to put down heavy lifting, just bring up high rep sets for…

If you've lifted in the ways I'm referring to then you should understand the difference I'm talking about. If not, try it and get back to me

Believe me, everybody. Don't listen to this guy lol

Idk, I guess I'm just promoting what I'm into. I just came across it and found it enjoyable, whereas I've been avoiding it previously, because I thought it was a waste of time. Recently, I was watching arm wrestling and instead of like three rounds, they had more like 10. At the beginning, the one guy was winning them all,…

Idk, I've been lifting heavy for a while because I thought it was the only way to get strong, but I found it tearing me down. Then, I came across this dude online named Drazen Kogl. He was a world champion arm wrestler so you know he's strong, even though he looks like a normal guy. I've seen him pictured curling twenty…

I've never gotten tendinitis doing high reps. I believe it is because you have much better circulation while doing high reps. I have had tendinitis in my elbow from heavy gripper training, but that was heavy with low reps. Doing skull crushers seemed to help with that. I think isometrics have a greater potential to cause…

Yes, because bulky muscles use more energy and weigh you down. I want to have cardiovascular endurance, agility and strength at the same time. I often hear of it referred to as tendon strength, however I believe that that burn actually stimulates your muscles to recruit more fibers which causes a greater percentage of…

Getting your back cracked might help. Instructions: Lay down on the floor, on your stomach. Have your daughter straddle your lower back. Take a breath in, let it out and relax. Right after you let your breath out she should press down on your upper back with two fists, palms facing each other, on each side of your spine.…

Incline is better. It forces you to land more-so towards the front of your foot. That will take stress off your joints. It's a better workout too.

Yea, I think a lot of people do. Plan what you want to do that day, although you may deviate from it if you prefer, just so you have a base. Bring some music you like with earbuds. Bring your water bottle. Do some stretching or walk a lap in between sets.
