I hardly do any reading over on T-Muscle since a majority of their articles are filled with a lot of hype, product placement, and terrible advice for the average lifter. That being said, there was a study done over there over the last few months that produced some REALLY neat articles on how we should go about gaining muscle.
This is the first study I’ve seen of this depth. The researcher measured the electrical activity (amount of activation) in certain muscles during specific exercises, and he did this with literally hundreds of exercises, mostly used by bodybuilders and powerlifters.
What that means is that we now have a really good understanding (not complete, but good) of what sort of exercises we can use for the best muscle activation which should translate into better muscle growth.
I explain more in this video and give you my thoughts on the articles. All of the articles are linked underneath the video, and I would definitely encourage you to read them yourself after you watch this video! There’s some awesome information in there.
I’m back in the gym after almost a month of exams and letting my body heal up. Feeling absolutely awesome, but before I got back into things, I wanted to shoot a quick video and share a bit of my goals for the summer.
If you’re someone who works out consistently, have you ever wondered how many of the supplements that get promoted to you endlessly are actually worth the money? The truth is, most aren’t.

Let me know in the comments below if you have any other supplements you’ve used that have worked well for you!

I’m sure you’ve been there. It’s getting late in the day, and you’ve been pushing your tasks off… just for a littttle while longer. You finally realize that you’ve accomplished next to nothing today, and you’re suddenly hit with a feeling of being overwhelmed! There’s just so much to do, and not enough time to do it, right?
