I did 30 minutes of cardio a day (running every day for 30 days) while still lifting to settle the debate every lifter has: does cardio kill gains? It comes down to questions like cardio before or after weights, whether cardio and weight training can coexist, the problems with running vs lifting, and the two fears that keep people from running at all — is cardio bad for muscle gain, and does running make you lose muscle? To find out, I tested my VO2 max, got an MRI body scan, used a DXA scan, and trained for Hyrox.

How many days a week should you work out to build muscle — and is a 6-day workout plan in the gym actually better than training 3 days a week? We put over 200 lifters through a 10-week experiment comparing a 3-day vs 6-day push/pull/legs split, plus a third group that packed the full 6-day volume into three full-body workouts. The results reveal some important lessons about how often you should work out, how many times a week you should work out each muscle group, and when more training stops paying off.

If you've wondered how often to train muscle groups per week, you've heard it: train hard, then take rest days — 48 to 72 hours — for repair and growth. That's the logic behind best training frequency advice, and why choosing to train everyday risks overtraining. But some people do demanding physical work daily and still build unusually muscular bodies. Could removing rest days actually help a muscle grow faster? Could that be the best workout split and best workout routine to build muscle?

You might be able to gain muscle faster (almost twice as fast!) as you are right now - and still remain “natty”. How? With what I like to call “stretch-focused training”. A training technique that has seemed to crack the code to what it takes to build muscle fast naturally. I’ve even started experimenting with it, and honestly, it seems like it’s working. Don’t just take my word for it, though. I’ve assembled my elite crew of researchers to dive into the science, separate the truth from the fad, and figure out the best way to use this trai...

This is the #1 arm workout that blew up my arms. There's only 4 arm exercises, but it's the science behind them that makes them so effective. Before we dive into exercise 1, realize that I was not born with big arms. God blessed me with twigs. I spammed them with bicep curls and tricep pushdowns in every single arm workout for bigger arms, but it didn't get me very far. As soon as I trained smarter and used the correct arm exercises, my arm growth took off. I don’t want you to make the same mistakes I did, so today we...

Most people don't know how to bench press with the proper bench press form. For example, do you ever feel pinching or pain in your shoulder when you bench press? Or maybe it activates your shoulders and triceps more than the chest? Or maybe every time you start going heavy you end up hurting yourself. This isn’t because the bench press is a bad exercise, it’s just that most people do it wrong. There are 5 mistakes almost everyone makes with their bench press technique — be it on the barbell bench press or Smith machine bench press. Fix these b...

Wondering how to grow your shoulders? Today I want to share the #1 shoulder workout that absolutely blew up my delts. My Filipino genetics blessed me with a 1:1 shoulder-to-waist ratio and narrow clavicles that made me look frail and weak. But I refused to let my genetics define me. This past year, my shoulders are wider, broader, and fuller than they’ve ever been. I followed a simple, science-based shoulders workout that’s worked better than anything I’ve tried in the past. There are only 3 shoulder exercises (including the crowd fav, lateral raises) in this shoulders workout, but proper form is...

Once you do decide that you’re ready to invest in a protein powder, it’s important that you first get well informed of the differences between the various protein powder types out there (e.g. whey protein isolate vs whey protein concentrate) , as well as the things to look for and things to avoid when comparing different brands. This helps you get the best protein powder available. By the end of this podcast, you’ll know exactly how to pick the right protein powder type for you, and how to separate the good from the not-so-good options out there...

Your glutes are important. But the problem nowadays though is that we tend to sit a lot and for prolonged periods of time, which is a great way to potentially “forget” how to use your glutes especially if you don’t take action to counteract this.

So, if you suspect you’re suffering from ‘gluteal amnesia,’ or you’d just like to see better results with your glutes exercises and glute workouts, then it’s time to start learning how to activate your glutes. And to do so, we’re going to use a 4 step glute activation plan. Where with t...

Cheat meals can help boost your fat loss results as opposed to hinder them. How? And how does The Rock incorporate his cheat meals? Well, first off and arguably most importantly is the psychological benefit having cheat meals while cutting provide. You’ll exhibit long-term adherence and enjoyment to your diet when you have these planned ‘refeed day’ to work towards in your workout meal plan and look forward to. Second, the temporary increase in calories and carbs by adding a cheat meal into your meal plan to get ripped has been shown to lead to better appetite suppression, higher...

Well-developed, big forearms are one of the most important features that you’ll want to achieve. In addition to dramatically improving the appearance of your arms, they also play a vital role in strengthening your grip to handle more weight. But when most people aim to strengthen and build bigger forearms with a forearm workout, they fail to realize just how many forearm muscles there are and what their respective functions are, and think that a few sets of wrist curls and wrist extensions are all that’s needed. And although these forearm exercises can help, they don’t target...

When it comes to which supplements to take and the best workout supplements that are backed by evidence – pre-workouts are definitely a top choice. But although pre-workout supplements are one of the most popular workout supplements within the fitness industry, most people just don’t use them in a way that maximizes their effectiveness while minimizing any potential side effects. For example: how often you take your pre-workout, how much you take, and when you take it are all important factors that will affect how well the supplement will benefit your workouts. Luckily, in this podcast, I’ll discuss exactl...

Sitting for the majority of the day can lead to the development of the posture where the head protrudes forward, the mid back and shoulders round forward, and the lower back arches excessively with an anterior tilt of the pelvis.

To reverse the adverse effects of sitting too much, I’ll be showing you two quick and easy 5-minute corrective routines with 8 exercises for posture that you can do anywhere, that are designed to mobilize these tightened areas (fix rounded sh...

Creatine is one of the few supplements out there that is actually well-backed by research in terms of its effectiveness. However, there’s a lot of confusion out there as to how to take creatine and how creatine works.

In terms of “what does creatine do”, it simply allows a faster regeneration of ATP in our muscles. Since ATP is the main form of energy for our muscles, this enables us to perform an extra rep or two during our training.

As for the best creatine to take and how to use creatine effectively, stick to cre...

When people first start out with a “fat loss diet’, they are totally unaware of just how calorie-dense typical food options that they’re used to eating really are. Which is one of the biggest diet mistakes around. Plus, is one of the main reasons why many who “eat clean” or “work hard” are still not losing stubborn fat.

Hopefully, you can see just how much more food you’re able to eat and how much easier it would be to suppress hunger and adhere to your diet by simply making smarter food choices.

And for those lookin...

Muscle soreness (also known as delayed onset muscle soreness or “DOMS”) is something we can all relate to. The sore legs and various other sore muscles we experience after a hard workout can be an uncomfortable feeling. Although this is perfectly normal, sore muscles becomes a problem when it interferes with your muscle recovery.

If your muscle soreness after a workout sticks around until your next workout, this is going to negatively impact your workout AND further interfere with the muscle recovery process. Thus, it’s essential that you optimize your muscle recovery after a workout in order...

There's a ton of misinformation out there when it comes to the best supplements for muscle building and strength. In this podcast, I'll share the 4 best supplements that are worth considering to build muscle faster.

Special guest: Dr. Brad Schoenfeld

Conventional wisdom has us convinced that high reps and light weights build muscle endurance and contribute little to muscle mass gains. However, is this a valid perspective? We need to look at the research to determine if heavy and light weight training cause different effects. After reviewing the research out there, it seems that using heavy or light weights doesn’t matter much in terms of hypertrophy. Studies show that muscle growth tends to be equal despite using light or heavy weights (high rep vs low rep). But this is only true when going near failure, and one benefit of...
