Many MANY actors in Hollywood use anabolic steroids for a few weeks to get in shape to play certain parts. Just because their bodies aren't all that impressive doesn't mean that they don't use roids. It is very naive to think that anabolic steroids will blow anyone up. There are thousands of...
Yes HIT is good, particularly for hard gainers and those limited in time. I wouldn't call it the best approach out there but its a solid theory. If you are looking for absolute strength gains I'd look elsewhere but for hypertrophy its good. I'd limit going to failure though. Going to failure too...
Of course your grip is gonna weaken as you workout, especially after the span of 2 hours, what do you think is holding onto the barbells & dumbbells? ^_^ Do some specific grip training to help combat the problem, it should help.

Yes, it is entirely normal....for pussies!!! lol just teasin', seriously though, yes what you are experiencing is something experienced by almost everyone. Don't have a heavy meal before your squat/leg workouts. There isn't really a whole lot you can do to stop the nausea to a great degree...
Speed is tougher to retain as one ages
Speed drops considerably as one enters their mid-late 30's (look at Camacho senior) while limit strength & tendon strength can be developed into mid 50's (Louie Simmons) in some cases
Pro bodybuilders generally aren't weak. They are very strong compared to the average population but their strength generally pales in comparison to even lower-mid level powerlifters. They use light weight for training photos because they have to hold the dumbbell or barbell in a static position...
Soreness is not an accurate gauge of workout efficiency. No one is ecactly sure what causes delayed onset muscle soreness but it isn't lactic acid build up and its generally not muscle fiber tear (though it can be).
As long as you are progressing in weight in your exercises and are getting...
The Cyberpump website has videoclips of Ken Leistner & the crew. He ain't much on bodybuilding to put it mildly, he's far more interested in strength development.
Take Care
There is such a thing as muscle "tone". To increase it you need to primarily train your nervous system to heighten the level of resting tension in the muscles.

No.. an isometric contraction requires no weight (as in barbells or dumbbells )resistance. That is why in the 50's & 60's isometrics were popular because they could be done without the aid of weight lifting. Static HOLDS require added resistance, not isometrics. An isometric exercise to work the...
Well..
Growth Hormone alone may not be responsable for hypertrophy, many women have higher levels of GH than men but women don't typically exhibit the the levels of muscular hypertrophy that men do because they have an average of 1/10th the testosterone. As far as squats releasing more growth...
