While the gym is arguably the best place to build muscle and strength, getting to one is not always possible. For example, you may have to travel for work, so access to a gym is limited. Or, you may be on vacation, and there is no gym where you are staying. The good news is th...
Training frequency is considered an important variable in the hypertrophic response to regimented resistance exercise. The purpose of this paper was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of experimental studies designed to investigate the effects of weekly training frequency on hypertrophic ...
In this guide, we’ll explore how to strengthen the largest muscles in the body through targeted exercises that are designed to maximize your strength gains. Whether you’re looking to build power, improve your physique, or simply stay fit, these large muscle exercises and biggest muscle groups...
You need togrow musclecells to build muscle. This is calledmuscle hypertrophy, when muscle-making outpaces muscle breakdown.1Strength trainingplus adequate protein sets the foundation for building muscle. But rest and recovery are equally important. Below you will find more information on how to bu...
The barbell curl is relatively simple since it is a single-joint isolation exercise. However, many lifters butcher the technique under stimulating their biceps. Here’s how to barbell curl to maximize biceps development: Hold the barbell with a narrow grip, with your palms facing up. Make sure...

Using both heavy compound and light isolation leg exercises through a full range of motion with various rep ranges is how to get big legs. Aim for 7-25 sets per muscle group per week to maximize muscle growth. After implementing these tips, exercises, and workouts, you will need a new pa...
So, how many sets maximise muscle growth? To answer that, we borrow the knowledge of DrMike Israetelwho has a PhD in Sport Physiology and is the co-founder ofRenaissance Periodization, a YouTube channel focused on hypertrophy. Check out his arguments regarding how many sets maximise muscle gr...
So if you need to, try taking Peak ATP, a patented ATP formulation. Creatine The reason creatine is recognised for increasing performance during successive bursts of short, high-intensity exercise, as well as for improving the effects of resistance training on muscle strength in t...
To maximize muscle stimulation, alternate sides with each rep. You can also perform a fixed number of reps on one side before transitioning to the other, but there is a catch. Since curtsy squats (and other lunging exercises) are extremely demanding, there is a chance you won’t put the...
