has become very common for everyone from the Average Joe to Bodybuilders to do low intensity cardio or even to run to burn extra calories and lose weight. This can cause joint and muscle injuries from the repetitive movement and mass amounts of time spent performing the activity. The solution to this problem is another effective method of cardiovascular conditioning – Sprint Training.

One 
of my favorite methods for hitting Chest is my “Summer Reps” set style. I will typically choose a weight that I can rep 6 clean with. I will then drop the weight about 10lbs until I am able to complete 4 sets. Increasing the reps by 1 until the final set I will go for 15 (i.e. Flat Bench – 195x6, 185x7, 175x8, 165x15). Keeping the tempo non-stop.
Applying this type of resistance to your Chest encourages large amounts of Hypertrophy. Here is an example of my chest day using this format –

Ever 
since I was young lifting has been a passion for me. I’ve always had a competitive attitude and love finding different ways to challenge myself. In the weight room I was obviously seeking ways to test my body to see what I could do. My body has always responded best to high volume workouts. Performing drop sets and super sets were regularly incorporated into my workouts. I found that this style not only kept me very lean to where I didn’t have to watch my diet as much, but I also kept getting stronger and stronger at the same time! This was a point in my life where I wasn’t concentrating on bodybuilding. I was just a regular gym rat who wanted to look good for the ladies and show off my strength in the weight room. So this style of training was perfect for me.

letters from beginners all the time asking me for advice on how they can get bigger. I always reply with two questions: How’s your diet and what does your current training routine consist of? I can’t give blind advice if I don’t know what I am working with. Most often I find that people are not eating enough to grow. I also see that there is a big myth in the world that you need to train with low reps and heavy weights in order to get bigger. This link shows a good YouTube video by Kai Greene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8wZNGL4iA4 ) where he distinguishes the difference between being a bodybuilder and weightlifter.
I would say before one sets off on a quest in the gym they should figure out which of these two distinctions they associate themselves with. In the case that you want to be a bodybuilder IE someone who is more concerned with what their physique looks like, then I offer you my concept of Heavy Volume Training.

build a huge back you have to make sure to work the entire back. The back is made up of many muscle groups that all need to be worked. Be sure you are not neglecting any portion of the back. The following workout has worked well for me and my clients. Try it out for a few weeks and let me know what you think

loves to pump up the arms before heading to a big expo like The Arnold. But, lets not forget that huge benefits in the entire body come from aggressive leg training. For this reason, and the love of complete exhaustion I smashed the legs today at the BAC before the flight to my home state of Ohio. The workout was built around the “pre-fatigue” concept. In a “pre-fatigue” workout we hit single joint movements typically stressing the secondary movers and then move into compound movements hitting the primary and secondary movers simultaneously.
