How Widespread Is Steroid Use?
Steroids use is widespread, but certainly not total. Steroid use also carries significant health risks. Different pressures will lead to different levels of adoption - relevance to your sport, legality, and economic incentives all have an impact on how willing people are to use steroids, and how likely they are to be willing to discuss their usage. Still, this should not impact your personal decision-making too much - regardless of whether or not someone else is using, this doesn’t impact what you need to do to make progress in your own training.
Fitness Isn't A Hobby For Me Anymore
As a beginner, fitness was a hobby for me - as an expert with 17 years of experience, it’s something I’ve actively lost interest in thinking too much about. To a certain extent, the same thing has happened to my career in fitness, now reaching 11 years of experience. With enough experience, any hobby or career just becomes an automatic practice, and it becomes more and more natural to follow through.
The Travel Workouts Guide
It’s probably easier than you think to train when traveling, as your primary focus should be on maintenance rather than continuing to gain strength and muscle mass. By focusing on the basics, you often only need a single workout per week. At the same time, it’s also important not to overlook the benefit of occasionally just… taking week off.
The Only Strength Program That Ever Worked
I spent a decade of training that progressed a lot slower than it could have, because it turns out that one of the first strength programs I ever tried is (still) the best program I’ve ever used. I spent a long time trying out every strength training program under the sun, only to come back to this because it kept working. Here’s what sets this program apart from the rest, and why it works so well.
Advanced Methods For Making Infinite Gains
Most exercisers struggle to progress in the long run because they select exercise progressions which are too fast, and don’t have the right understanding of how to slow down progressions as gains slow down naturally over time. Linear periodization commonly falls into this group, and is how a lot of exercisers burn out early. In the long run, any progression can be sustainable, so long as you DO slow down the progression over time. In this post, I go over 3 advanced methods I use with my own workouts and with my clients to ensure that gains can progress indefinitely with minimal issue - adding volume, adding training sessions, and splitting volume up into more exercises.
