I don’t know about anyone else, but there’s just something about pressing
heavy barbells that really appeals to me, more so than any other type of lift.
Not only do they (presses) enable you to maximize both ends of the equation needed
to get results, that being load X time under tension, and therefore assist in building
a ton of muscle and strength, but they leave with a feeling like no other when
you hit a new personal record (PR), regardless of the variation of barbell press
you choose to perform.

How You Can Combine Several Hypertrophy Methods At The Same Time And Still Get Results
With all the information readily available these days, it can be hard to
decipher what training program/method is best for you, and what you should
probably avoid. Even on this site alone, there are numerous strength trainingtechniques to which you can apply to make positive strides towards getting theresults you are training for.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean that you should apply all of them at
once, does it? Well, in most cases no. But what if you did? I mean, just
because you can do something, doesn’t mean that you should... or does it?

The Subscapularis + The Piriformis - The Many Similarities These Two Dissimilar Muscles Have Together And How They Affect Your Performance
WHAT DO THE
SUBSCAPULARIS AND PIRIFORMIS HAVE IN COMMON?
You’re probably wondering where the hell am I going by starting an article
with such a ridiculous question about two completely different muscles, in two completely
different areas of the body, responsible for two completely opposite actions,
am I right? Thought so.
While the subscapularis and piriformis are all of the above (different
muscles, responsible for opposite actions, located in very different areas of
the body), they have one strong common bond, and that is: These muscles, more
so than others, become shortened, as a result of us as humans always seeking
the path of least resistance (more on this later), which then creates
imbalances that can, and will, negatively impact performance in both sport and
exercise.
More often than not, the imbalanced development of these muscles is
further exaggerated through ineffective training programs. Before we get into
how this happens, it’s important to understand what these muscles are
responsible for.
