The Barbell 1 Show ·

2015/04/28

CLA is one of those supplements that never seems to die. Some people swear by it while other say it’s overhyped and under delivers.

425: Muscle Maturity; Pound for Pound Strength

The Barbell 1 Show ·

2015/04/27

Like no one can seem to explain it fully, but it just seems that the longer you’ve been lifting the muscle just looks a little different through the skin and no matter how ripped you get as a younger competitor you can’t seem to achieve quite the same grainy or granite like look at the

The Barbell 1 Show ·

2015/04/23

I always stand during my rest periods, but I know many who sit. Some say you’re weak if you sit down, others say it’s smart to recover faster.

2015/04/14

For years everyone has been saying alcohol is bad for your gym gains, but so many athletes indulge big time to celebrate victory. Do we need to stay away or is the dogma an overreaction?

2015/04/13

I have mentioned openly on the show before that despite knowing one does not have to always train to failure for optimal gains, it is how I personally enjoy training the most. So when I saw this new article on the subject, I wanted to cut my bias and once again look at the topic from a scientific perspective.

2015/04/10

Sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, has had a good amount of research behind it for sometime, but I can’t say I know many or any resistance training athletes using it.

2015/04/09

It seems all the time you propose a training of nutrition tactic to someone and they’ll shoot it down because of this one possible downside. Sometime those downsides apply and sometime they overshadow and cause you to miss the bigger picture of why that tactic may be gold. We review research that makes us think along these lines and discuss.

I think many have assumed glutamine is dead as a supplement for muscle building. We know it can help with gut health and immunity, but it does not seem it’s supported for muscle building.

2015/04/03

We always hear people talk about how so and so is built for that or built to be a powerlifter, but it’s always nice to have research to verify these observations and also to help us decide the best prioritization in training, skill/strength or size/strength. Today’s research study lends some insight. John always reviews the full-text of every article, but you may view the free abstract by clicking here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19826300 .
