Rest-Pause Training for Greater Strength and Muscle.
Break through your growth plateaus with this training technique.
By Mehmet Edip
How can resting during weight training help you achieve your goals? Well by resting or taking a 10-15 second pause between each rep you can actually help increase your strength and muscle hypertrophy.
Rest-pause training breaks down one set into numerous mini-sets, with 10-15 second rests in between. This technique not only helps fatigue the muscle fibers, but can also help break through challenging strength and growth plateaus.
How to do it:
Set a weight 80-85% of your 1 rep max.
Perform as many reps as you can until you reach failure with a 10-15 second rest between each ‘mini-set’.
Be sure to continue after the rest pause (mini set) sequence until you reach failure.
Rest for 90 seconds between actual sets, and try to perform 3 working sets.
For the more advanced, increase the weight by 10%. If your are not as confident stay with the same weight.
Perform as many reps as you can until you reach failure with a 10-15 second rest between each ‘mini-set’.
Rest for 90 seconds.
Advanced athletes - Increase the weight again by another 10%.
Then complete a final set with that weight until you reach failure. Be sure to rest pause for 10-15 seconds until you reach failure.
Advanced athletes may also benefit from reducing the amount of rest time in between each mini set.
The methods below will help you perform several heavy load reps and will help increase strength.
Set a weight 80-90% of your 1 rep max.
Perform 1 rep then rest.
Rest for 15 seconds.
Keep the weight the same.
Repeat this method until you hit 10-12 reps. -
2 Common Squat Mistakes And How To Fix Them
For many of you proper squat form can seem like a puzzle.
You’ve read all the articles, watched all the videos, but your squats sill look ugly and don’t feel right.
This article will point out 2 common squat mistakes and tell how to fix them. By clearing up these errors you will be taking a giant stride forward towards better squatting form, and reducing your risk of injury.
Mistake #1 – Knees Forward Squatting
“Knees forward” squatting is by far and away the most common squatting form flaw.
The squat should be performed with the toes pointed out in a natural manner. For most lifters, this will mean about 30 degrees, give or take.
When squatting, the path of the knee should be about the same as the angle of your foot. Unfortunately, most lifting magazines feature the old school, “knees in”, bodybuilding-style of squat.
A knees in squat will make it much harder for you to hit proper depth. Because of this, most lifters who squat with their knees in end up half squatting.
Half squatting is one of the worst things you can do with a barbell on your back. It puts the knees in a precarious position, and increases the risk of injury.
Regarding the half squat and similar variations, Mark Rippetoe had this to say:
I think they are an ineffective way to train anything, because their mechanics are sufficiently different from normal human movement patterns that they are actually counterproductive. (1)
Mel Siff had this to say regarding the knee and partial extensions:
There tends to be an irrational fear associated with deeper-than-parallel squats, even though most of this is based on theoretical analysis and is usually contradicted by clinical studies which show that even more knee injuries occur in activities which do not flex the knee anywhere near parallel (such as running and jumping). Others show that partial squats can traumatize the knees even more than full squats!
To fix this issue, practice squatting with your knees moving along the same angle/plane as your toes. You may need to move the knees out as you descend to allow you to hit proper depth.
Never practice form adjustments like this with near maximal weight.
Mistake #2 – Flying Elbows
It is extremely common to see inexperienced lifters folding over in the hole of a squat like a wet piece of paper. Believe it or not, this issue isn’t necessarily caused by a lack of strength. It’s generally the result of a loose upper back and elbows.
Watch videos of less experienced lifters performing sets of 5 to 20 reps. You will notice that with each rep, their elbows slowly creep up and up. As this is happening, the lifter starts to lean more forward in the hole with each rep.
When your upper back and elbows are not tight, or are not kept tight throughout a set, they will natural start to fly up over time. This seemingly trivial change actually results in more forward lean than you would think.
Stand upright and pretend you are about to squat. If you keep your back and arms tight, your head remains in a consistent position and there is a reduced chance of forward lean.
Now from this position loosen up your back and raise your elbows. You will notice that your head wants to move forward and your mid-back wants to round.
When this looseness occurs during a squat set, it results in near-good morning style squat reps. Your lower back and erectors are hit hard, and you increase the risk of strains, pains and injury.
The fix for this issue is simple. Before each squat rep, make sure you squeeze the bar with a death grip and tighten your elbows and back as much as possible.
Yes, you will be doing this in between reps during your sets. It only takes a fraction of a second, but will save your lower back a lot of grief.
Conclusion
It’s quite common to hear: “I don’t want to squat. I’ve heard it’s bad for the knees and/or back.”
If done incorrectly, squatting is bad for your knees and back. Any lift performed incorrectly is more dangerous.
Work on correcting these 2 common squat flaws and you will greatly reduce your risk of injury. You may also notice that your squats feel more natural and powerful. -

Adding Strength And Mass To Your Quads!
It is essential that every body part is trained respectively and with strict form; every body part is created equal. The muscles on my upper body are trained just as hard as the muscles on my lower body. This is one of the many secrets.
By: Mitch McIntyre
My years and experience of bodybuilding is nothing more to me than the means of getting bigger and stronger.
Although my main objective to lifting is to build as much mass as humanly possible, however my strength will also increase. I have never been someone who cared about how much weight I could lift. I just throw on as much weight as my body can safely handle for the amount of reps I require myself to do. When I’m out at the grocery store or the malls people stop me and are amazed at my size, and the first thing they ask is, “How much can you lift?” or “How much can you bench?” jokingly I response to them by saying “well about two Winnebago’s and a Volkswagen”. To me it’s not the number I can lift or bench, it’s the quality of the set. But who has the time to explain this to an inquisitive teenager. However for those inquiring minds, I’ll mention the weight I use for each set.
Part of becoming a bodybuilder it is essential that every body part is trained respectively and with strict form; every body part is created equal. The muscles on my upper body are trained just as hard as the muscles on my lower body. This is one of the many secrets to creating a freaky but symmetrical, pleasing physique.
Take for example quads. No progress will be made unless heavy strict movements are utilized. This is true with every muscle. The movements involved are squats, leg press and leg extensions, respectively in that order. I start with squats, because it’s my strongest movement and I want to utilize as much weight to build the mass I want. However, on days that I want to shock my quads, I start out with drop sets of leg extensions to pre-exhaust them, then move on to squats.
For the past 13 years of bodybuilding, I have used every training strategy there is, and believe me by far my quad workouts has given me tremendous shape and size.
SQUATS
GOAL: Overall size and mass to the entire upper leg.
TECHNIQUE. To get the blood flowing to my quads I start my squats with a light warm-up set of 225 pounds for 15-20 reps. All my rep schemes range from 8 to 12, however, warm-up sets are the only high rep sets I will ever execute in my workouts. I stand underneath and position the barbell high on my traps before lifting it off the rack. Once I get a comfortable fit on my traps, I lift the bar and step away from the rack. I position my feet about armpit width keeping my knees slightly bent and toes pointing slightly outward. Once I am comfortable I execute the movement. Keeping my back as straight as possible, I bend my knees, lowering my buttocks as if I’m sitting in a chair until my thighs are slightly beyond parallel to the floor. Once I have reached that position, I drive the weight back up in a controlled motion pushing through the barbell keeping constant tension on my quads and buttocks and feet flat on the ground. In the finish position, I never lock my knees, instead I keep a slight bend to them, this keeps constant tension in my quads.
VOLUME. I execute this movement for four to five sets with 8 to 12 reps increasing the weight every set up to the low 500′s. Of course when I increase the weight, my reps drop to about eight reps.
LEG PRESS
GOAL: To develop and strengthen the gluteus and upper leg.
TECHNIQUE. My leg press movement is pretty basic. I position my feet so that they are six inches apart with my toes straight and about two inches from the edge of the platform. With my back flat against the chair I drive the sled forward, unlock the handles and grab onto the bottom of the chair or the grip handles for stabilization. I bring the weight down slowly so that my quads are parallel to the platform. Once my quads are parallel I raise the platform by driving as if I’m trying to push through the platform, keeping my feet flat and a slight bend to my knees at the finish position. Keeping the knees slightly bent in the finish position allows constant tension in the quads and a nice burn as well.
VOLUME. Since my quads are already pumped and warmed up, it is not necessary to do a warm-up set. Instead I go straight into the heavy sets. My first, second, third, and forth sets I’ll use a little over 1100 pounds (approximately 12 45′s on each side).
LEG EXTENSION
GOAL: To isolate and build strength and size to the quadriceps area.
TECHNIQUE. I adjust the machine to a sitting I am comfortable with. I make sure that the leg extension arm is right below my tibialous anterior muscle, or shinbone. I start at the bottom position slowly lifting the arm (about two seconds), extending my quadriceps in a lock position as hard as I can so that all three muscles (vastus laterals, medius and erectus fumerous) are separating with every rep, then controlling the weight back down (three seconds). Each time I do a rep I flex as if I’m on stage showing my audience and the judges the separation and cross striations in my quads.
VOLUME. This is always exercise number three, however on days that I want to pre-exhaust my quads before moving on to squats, it’s exercise number one. On sets one through four, I’ll do reps of 12 with the whole stack, sometime with a plate or two added. Occasionally when I’m with a workout partner, I might go as high as 15 reps.
MITCH McIntyre’s MASS AND STRENGTH BUILDING
QUAD WORKOUT
EXERCISE* SETS REPS
Squats 4 10-12
Leg Press 4 10-12
Leg Extension 4 15-12-10
Note: On days that I want to pre-exhaust my quads, I’ll alternate this workout by doing leg extensions first before doing squats. Hamstrings are done on another day.
*Begin exercise with a warm-up set of 15 to 20 reps. -

In this day and age, liver tabs are a throwback. Liver tabs are definitely old school. In fact, I personally know of many top bodybuilding pros who use liver today. Liver aint glamorous, but it flat out works.
Liver tabs. Man, these two words, probably more than any other, conjure up bodybuilding nutrition from the 60s and 70s. It does for me. Bodybuilders like Arnold Schwarzenneger, Frank Zane, Dave Draper, and Vince Gironda lived on them and let me tell ya, these guys knew something about bodybuilding.
But in this day and age, liver tabs are a throwback. Liver tabs are definitely old school. But what's old school doesn't have to mean obsolete�anyone here at Animalpak.com can tell you that. Liver is flat out not obsolete. In fact, I personally know of many top bodybuilding pros who use liver today. Liver ain't glamorous, but it flat out works.
Why Liver Tabs?
Back in the old days, liver was considered by many lifters to be a panacea. Bodybuilders thought it could do everything. Truth is, it can't. Nothing can. Not only that, desiccated liver is no "miracle" supplement that's gonna add 25 or 50 pounds to your bench press overnight. So for all you guys out there looking for the next "big" thing, this ain't it. But if you're looking for a solid nutritional supplement, one that should be part of your core nutritional arsenal along with protein and Animal Pak, this is it. In my honest opinion, liver tabs are a must. Now a lot of so-called "experts" today think desiccated liver tabs are ? . They'll point to a lack of a significant body of research. They'll point out it's been around for a long, long time.
They say there are more inexpensive ways to get protein. Well these things are true. Even so, it don 't mean liver is worthless. Far from it. Those critics who bring these charges, guess what? These are the same guys who've never used liver before, cuz if they did, they'd be singing a different tune.
Truth is, the vast majority of bodybuilding supplements have little or no science behind them at all. Period. The supplement industry is built on the myth of science, not science itself. Don't get me wrong. Supplements and our knowledge of nutrition have come a long, long way in thirty years. Even so, in the supplement industry, it's more about fiction and hype, not truth and science.
Fact is, very precious few supplements have any legitimate clinical studies to support them. protein. Aminos. creatine. These are among the rare few that have been studied. Now this doesn't mean that all supplements today are worthless. Many are good, but many don't have studies behind them. The point is, just because there isn't a lot of science don't mean something doesn't work. And just because something's been around a while doesn't mean it's worthless. If you're selling ? , then it ain't gonna sell for long.
On the other hand, if something's been around for thirty or so years, you gotta ask yourself why. Maybe cuz it actually works? Consider Atkins as a case in point. He first presented his ideas in the 1970s and his ideas never caught on. He was ridiculed by the medical establishment.
Today, his theories are gaining ground. Studies are even beginning to show his diet works. Bodybuilders, of course, have been following a ketogenic diet for decades, but the point is, sometimes it takes a while for everyone else to catch up.
Bottom line, who you gonna trust? You gonna put your faith in some skinny-assed marketing guys who tout their supplements as being "scientifically" or "clinically" proven to help you build muscle 4000% faster? Or you gonna trust thousands upon thousands of real lifters who have used a supplement for years and years with success? It's your call. I know what mine is.
So what's so good about liver? For starters, many have called liver the most perfect food. It's rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals, nucleic acids, lipotropics, antioxidants, cytochrome P450 (an enzyme involved in steroid production and detoxification), and other important nutrients. Liver has been used by bodybuilders and powerlifters for decades to increase strength, enhance appetites, reduce recovery times and fatigue, support liver function, and detoxify the body. It's also an effective blood builder. Liver helps increase red blood cell count. Plus, it's one of the best sources of heme iron.
Desiccated liver contain heme iron, one of the most bioavailable forms around. Synthetic or elemental iron can lead to overdosing. Overdosing is far less likely with natural iron. With non-heme iron, you might expect an absorption rate of 1-3%. With heme iron, you could expect 35% absorption or more. Liver tabs can also exert "hematinic activity" � the ability of a substance to improve the quality of the blood, including the hemoglobin level and the number of erythrocytes. That's why liver has been called a "blood builder".
All this is important because blood is what delivers oxygen and nutrients to your working muscles. If you got a problem with iron and blood, it can all lead to to fatigue, decreased energy levels, and reduced physical performance. Studies have clearly shown that even slight iron-deficiency can lead to a reduced work capacity.
Liver also contains nucleic acids. For years, people thought the body could make enough nucleic acids via de novo nucleotide synthetic pathways. Under certain circumstances, this ain't the case. There are times when the body needs more: when the body is undergoing rapid growth, limited food supply, and metabolic stress.
How Can Liver Help You?
In other words, when you're training hard to either gain mass or shed fat. Under these tough conditions, metabolic demand exceeds the capacity of de novo synthesis and nucleic acids become conditionally essential nutrients. This is one of the reasons that liver can have a real effect on improving recovery rates.
Liver is one of the best sources of B vitamins in food. For the athlete, B vitamins are among the most important of all the vitamins. B vitamins play a key role in energy production. If you are low here, your energy levels can suffer. This is bad news in the gym. B vitamins are also needed in carbohydrate metabolism, fat utilization, cell function, proper enzyme function, the regulation of blood sugar, antioxidant function, and detoxification reactions. The list goes on and on.
So liver is important. But like I said earlier, it ain't no panacea. Liver will never replace good old protein powder. From an economical point of view, it can't and it shouldn't. It's easier and cheaper to take a scoop of protein powder than it is to gulp down a handful of liver tabs. So you don't take liver in place of protein. It's not either or. You can take both. Besides, you don't take liver for protein. You get it for aminos and other goodies.
Liver tabs, in my opinion, should be a regular part of your supplement program. Now there are a couple of different liver products out there. If you're looking to try it out, choose a good one. Good liver tabs start with good liver: exclusively grass-fed, prized cattle from Argentina. These prized Argentinian cattle are raised without the use of steroids, hormones, pesticides or other such contaminants. So you get a liver that's healthy, clean and pure. You also gotta check to make sure the liver is certified BSE-free. Remember mad cow disease?
I personally use Uni-Liver for all the reasons above. Along with Animal Pak, I don't leave home without it. I'm a competitive bodybuilder and a big guy so I take anywheres from 9-18 per day. As each 30 grain tab has 1600mg of protein, I also get upwards of 29 extra grams of protein per day. Bottom line: if you're looking for a miracle in a bottle, you ain't gonna find it here. But if you're looking to add a little something extra to your program, liver is as good as it gets. Peace.
