This article concludes with the obvious “vary your workout routine for best results” but it does survey some interesting research on rest time between sets. For a few weeks you can spike testosterone and HGH with shorter (1 minute) rests between sets. However the difference declines by 5 weeks into a routine. Over 10 [...]

Pretty tough finding information on Vin Diesel’s workouts. Ive gathered online that he likes free weights, compound movements, yoga, and pilates.
I also found that he has trained in MMA, specifically Kali.
Q: What is your Riddick workout?
VIN: The Riddick workout started before I went up there. I was training with a UFC guy, Ultimate Fighting Championship [...]

Nice site here on hand health. You may want something simple like a stronger grip but training grip only leads to imbalanced hands and raises the potential for injury so like it or not, you have to train the hands in all kinds of different ways.

Interesting article here on the importance of glute strength and there are several tests you can do to find which stretches / exercises you need to balance your glutes / hip flexors / etc.

Interesting article here that makes a strong case for doing 1 leg squats because these involve more muscles and are more functional than traditional squats.
Also mentions 1 leg straight leg deadlifts and slideboard leg curls (which seem to require some fancy equipment I’ve never seen before).

Good article here, an inspiring article, on Willie Gault. He was a world class sprinter and NFL wide receiver in his 20s. He still is a world class sprinter in his 40s. Pretty amazing.
I don’t know what to make of the 1500 crunches - conventional wisdom says a little variety would be nice. He benches [...]

What started this bet was my cholesterol was at a extremely high level of 270 and I’m only 30 years old. [...]

Great article here on some exercises and stretches you can do to avoid injuring (prehab) your shoulder. A lot of people end up with damaged shoulders as they continue exercising due to focusing too much on the bigger lifts and not enough on the support muscles.
I especially like the 3 stretches. Admittedly I haven’t tried [...]

I’m a rangers fan and the other day I remembered reading that years ago that Brian Leetch was perhaps the best conditioned Ranger on the team. I did a search but all I could come up with was this article where he credits his conditioning for giving him the ability and confidence to play his [...]

I hear crazy things from people around me. One woman wants to lose weight by eating less because she doesn’t want to exercise. She doesn’t like running and she’s afraid weights will make her arms huge.
One of my students was riding an exercise bike 2 hours a day to rehab from a car accident that [...]
