• Take a Load Off Between Sets

  27-07-2015 16:42
  
  OPENING ARGUMENTS DEFENSE  Between sets, it's important to rest by sitting or lying down to regain your strength and mental drive. PROSECUTION Sitting or lying down can inhibit motivation to continue your training session. EVIDENCE Subjects who sat or lay down between sets were able to perform more work compared with subjects who stood or kept moving. Not sitting after exhausting sets can prolong the sense of fatigue. Active rest between sets may not allow complete myoglobin reoxygenation and/o

• Posedown: Elssbiay vs. Richards

  THE MYTHICAL MASS MONSTER OF THE ’90S TAKES ON TODAY’S SCARIEST BEHEMOTH Do you believe in monsters? Photos of Victor Richards generated shock waves in the ’90s. His legs and arms were as gargantuan as any pro’s. And his fame grew with dubious claims about his weight, strength, and appetite. But Big Vic never stepped on a pro stage. We’re going to approximate such a contest now in the ultimate monster mash. Claiming to be 330 pounds with 26-inch arms and a 67-inch chest (all ludicrous

• Flex Lewis' Upper Pec Blast

  27-07-2015 16:42
  
  QUESTION What do you suggest to bring up the lower chest? ANSWER If you talked to Neil [Hill, Lewis’ trainer], he would tell you he’s never seen an upper chest that truly overpowered the lower chest. As a result, his strategy has always been to focus workouts on the upper chest—knowing that when it’s done correctly, the chest is going to be sore everywhere, upper and lower. Before I started working with Neil, my chest training wasn’t as consistent. One session would be good, and the ne

• Celebrating the Journey

  My name is Ferlan C. Bailey, I stand at 5’11” and am currently weighing in at 240lbs.  But before I tell you about my current journey I need to tell you where I come from.  I was born on the island of Grenada, where I lived until the age of 13 when I moved to Orlando, Florida where I still reside. I grew up surrounded by the beauty of the land and the hard work of my family.  My family did just about everything that was needed on the island; if someone needed a ride then they were the cab

• Arnold Schwarzenegger's Master Plan

  27-07-2015 16:42
  
  QUESTION Aside from hard work and visualization, what does it take to be successful? —Frankie F., via Facebook ANSWER You need to develop a master plan. I didn’t start out in my teens telling myself I was going to star in the Terminator movies. But I did know that I wanted to be a movie star, a businessman, and a political leader. Of course, with my humble background, people thought that was nuts. So I asked myself, “What’s one thing I can do now that I’m good at that can serve those

  WE SURVEY THE FIRST HALF-CENTURY OF MR. OLYMPIAS WITH TWEETLIKE ADVICE FROM THE WINNER OF EACH CONTEST On September 19, 1965, a standing-room-only crowd of 2,500 rabid fans in the Brooklyn Academy of Music screamed as Larry Scott was (literally) crowned the first Mr. Olympia.

• Wine vs. Hard Liquor

  27-07-2015 16:42
  
  One of the misconceptions about why alcohol is bad for a bodybuilder’s diet is that it’s high in carbs. Truth is, many forms of booze are quite low in carbs. Some red and white wines have less than four grams of carbs per serving (five ounces). And vodka and whiskey are examples of hard alcohol with less than one gram of carbs per jigger (1.5 ounces). Even light beers contain few carbs. What booze is high in is—you guessed it—alcohol. It’s an infrequently mentioned fact that alcohol is
