The Fifties
For several months, I’ve been doing Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1 program. In it, Jim talks about doing exercises for assistance that build muscle mass. He advocates doing several reps of dips and pull-ups every week. At one point, I believe he states we should do 50 dips a week weighted or 100 dips a week with just body weight. If memory serves, he advocates doing something similar with chin-ups or pull-ups.By Lonnie Watson

What’s Best for Increasing Muscle Mass and Strength—Linear or Reverse Linear Training Programs?
“Training is an exact science.” —Mike Mentzer Mike Mentzer was correct in that there is an exact science to training. In the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, it was reported that you can take two identical workouts and train with the exact same total work performed yet have different gains. In my experience, many bodybuilders can learn how to get better results by periodizing their workouts. Periodization is simply the organization and planning of training. In sport, this planning is usually based on achieving maximum physical abilities (strength, speed, power) for a given competition or period of competitionBy Robbie Durand

Two Reasons Why Your Muscles Want Super Fast Carbs
It may be due to my recent bout of carbophobia, but whenever I was asked about carbohydrate use for strength athletes, I’d shrug my shoulders and say, “eat more protein.” While I still love (love) my protein, I’ve recently had a couple of experiences that have changed my mind, in spite of my skepticism, about this previously out of style nutrient. Far from your typical carb, we’ll take a look at the supercharged version—Vitargo S2. I’ll show you how your performance and physique can benefit.By David Barr
