Today Cliff Wilson is back on Coach's Corner, joined by IFPA Pro Natural Bodybuilding Champion to discuss the differences between new competitive bodybuilders and seasoned vets. It is important to tease out these difference so all competitors can gain a better understanding of what it takes to be healthy and competitive for many years should they desire to pursue competitive bodybuilding as a lifestyle.

It seems nowadays everyone who likes to train with weights hates doing cardiovascular exercise. With this has come an emergence of creative forms of resistance training and interval training that more closely resemble the weights we love and the cardio machines many of us hate. We discuss a research study looking at just how many calories weight training burns and discuss pros and cons of doing more weights, less cardio, or keeping some more traditional cardio in our training split. John always ...

In an earlier episode I mentioned a tactic called CEO Workouts to allow a good volume and quality of weight training in a short period of time. When life gets crazy and normal workout don't fit you can usually get a CEO Workout in.

Oftentimes studies comparing different numbers of sets to gauge their effectiveness look at say 1 vs 3 sets. Very few studies go to the extreme and look at something like 8 sets of an exercise. Today’s study does with the squat and so we review and discuss.

So although the debate over whether or not just a set or two done with high intensity is just as good as being a volume junky doing tons of sets is largely over – most research seems to indicate more is better to a degree – there are still some that hang onto the idea that volume may in fact be overrated for some people. Again volume means weight times reps times sets or the total amount of work you do in a training session. As I’ve discussed on the show before there is some research that show s...

For a long time bodybuilders were very concerned about keeping rest periods short and feeling the burn – in fear that not training this way would short change their muscle gains. Newer research tends to challenge this belief and so today we review that research.

I feel like there’s some people who think grunting and making a lot of noise in the gym is only for stupid meatheads. Then there are other people who say grunting is OK, but that lifters don’t use it at the right time during a lift. We will discuss a little of all above today.

So now that we have more research that tells us lifting lighter weights can still be good for muscle size gains assuming we accumulate enough volume it’s always good to test some of the theories behind why the light training may have benefit. Some would say maybe it is because taking a light set all the way to fatigue may recruit all possible muscle fibers – slow twitch for a while and then finally fast twtitch until the muscle is completely exhausted – but is this just a theory or is there actu...

When I was in grad school studying sports nutrition most people talked about the importance of post-workout carbs and protein in terms of actual physical muscle recovery from exercise. However, we also learned that the immune system is compromised after exercise for a brief period – basically while the body gets its bearings back. Are there any supplements we would take to prevent this or bounce back faster? We review a possible option. John always reviews the full-text of every article, but you...

Personal trainers used to have the job of counting reps, but these days I see more and more counting total time spent training. Is this a valid way to have clients exercise – timing set length and stopping when a certain time count is reached? Let’s examine a study.

It seems nowadays everyone is pushing for higher volume, higher frequency resistance training programs. But what about when life, injury, or recovery ability calls for periods of decreased training? Should you fear loss of gains or could you perhaps rely more on nutrition to keep the gain train chuggin. Today we review a research study on this topic and tackle different ways of viewing training and nutrition. John always reviews the full-text of every article, but you may view the free abstract ...
