These guys were also in Pumping Iron. Does anyone have any idea whatever happened to them? I can't find a website or any recent info on either of them. Ken...
I met Ed at the Arnold also ... really great guy! The line for Lou was long, and since I've done the picture thing in the past, I didn't wait. I'll be there...
So Tom, this study should show what most of us thought all along, that the cases of problems and death are most likely from an excess of these products. Is...
Thanks Al, appreciate the humor and inspiration, but "monster lats?" Hmmm...I've got three pictures on the wall of my office which display "monster lats," they...
IIRC, the causes of problems are rarely if ever related to ephedra, but to underlyinging problems the person had before. It may be possible to say that the...
Cap, I can appreciate Al's remark. They most assuredly are monster lats. We discussed this (: Why not do close underhand grip chins with weight? My...

Nope. As a general rule, people who start out heavy have an easier time adding muscle mass. It's tougher for them to get cut, though. People who start out thin...
Shawn, No, I didn't compete this year at all. At the 2001 Games in Fergus, I really strained my rotator cuff and right trap, so I decided to lay low until...

I think Arnold learned very early on how to sell "market" himself. By associating BB with that he was able to bring the masses into weighttraining. The same...

Most of my form comes from Stuart McRobert's Insider's Guide (a book on form), and he is very clear about NOT using something under your heels. On the other...
I just watched it last week. The weight is actually 315 (3 plates/side). After Franco laughs with the bar on his chest, he presses it up like a broomstick and...
Personally, I do regular squats without anything under my heels, BUT... I find that the front squat is another matter. For front squats I do use a couple of 5...

There are multiple ways to do lunges. I feel the "traditional" way of walking lunges and throwing your leg out in front of you and catching yourself is asking...

I don't think it's anywhere near that open-and-shut, Richard. It's like saying Arnold's chest is a definitive argument for three-hour chest workouts. Whenever...
