Prelude: Every day, every gym, every town
You know the guy, does an hour on the treadmill then hits the weights halfhearted dripping in sweat. He suffers the same fate as many; lots of effort in but poor results out. That saying about a jack of all trades and a master of none has a lot of truth in it. He is never going to win a marathon, and at this rate, he’s never going to get in shape either.
This is what happens when you wear yourself out doing your warm up! Deciding whether to do

How many reps for building muscle size?
Prelude: March 2010
Why aren’t my arms getting any bigger? I’m lifting as heavy as I can. I’m doing pull-ups with a heavy weight belt. I just banged out sets with 20kg strapped to me. That looks pretty impressive, but my arms don’t! Maybe it’s not just about the weight, so I'm starting to ask a new question; how many reps for building muscle size?
The problem
It’s way too simple to focus on lifting more and more weight and hoping that all your muscle building dreams will

How To Get Bigger Triceps
Prelude: 5 minutes ago....
I was just thinking; I don’t think I’ve ever had a compliment or even a putdown about my triceps. Isn’t that funny? Abs, bum, legs, forearms, shoulders, biceps, even back have all made the list, but never my triceps. Well, I reckon that either means I need to figure out how to get bigger triceps, or everyone out there doesn’t recognize a good thing when they see it. If it’s the former I have a plan to get that handled.

Make your own workout
The question: Why make your own workout?
We’ve all been there; searching for the workouts that will change the game for us. Instead we usually just end up with a cookie cutter program designed by someone else, for someone else. Something isn’t quite right.
Following other people’s programs can be pretty maddening, especially when it’s not giving you the results you want. Well, I believe in fitness to fit you. You need to be able to combine the best of what works to make your own

Shoulder Workout Exercises For Men
Prelude: Spring 2002:
It came out of the blue one morning; “You’re not very broad shouldered honey”. Uh-oh. Those words have just come out of the mouth of the girl I thought was "The one"! This is a problem. See I was in L-O-V-E. You know the feeling.
I’m not sure if my lack of physique had been a problem for me before then, but it sure was now. It hurt. I was going to have to get myself a set of shoulders…
