The portion of the lift where you feel your muscle stretch causes them to grow. If you aren’t feeling the stretch when you’re lifting weights you’re leaving a lot of opportunity to build muscle on the table.

The portion of the lift where you feel your muscle stretch is likely pivotal to muscle growth. We’ve seen multiple studies suggest that stretch aids in building muscle. It’s particularly pivotal to growing glutes and hamstrings. I would still suggest using full range of motion while training but make sure you get a deep stretch when training your glutes and hamstrings.

This is week 2 of a series featuring Brian building strength to the point where he can deadlift 500lbs for reps..

This episode features training as opposed to working out. The differentiator is when you train, you practice relatively the same skill set (exercises) week over week and simply proceed to get better at them. At the end of this series Brian will once again be stronger and as a result improve his physique and become an even better athlete.

This video features in depth how Brian trains and gives takeaways for how you too can improve your training and your physique.

I am going to take on a tour of the most exclusive gym in Westchester. There may be clubs with gyms like this in the tristate, but as a stand alone gym there are only a handful of this caliper on the East coast.

What makes @MadisonAveStrengthLab so special is not only the layout and the limited membership, but the quality of the equipment greatly enhances the experience. @KeiserFitness @Technogym @Rogue Fitness @Kabuki Strength @WatsonGymEquipment – These are the elite of the industry.

I am back in the mean streets of Larchmont, NY.

You may remember @stackdpancakes from my post at @houseofnutritionpok. The owner Gary reached out to me and said it made a huge impact on his sales and was kind enough to send me a massive care package.

It turns out one of my girlfriend’s best friends lives near the Stack’d cafe and warehouse, so Gary invited me to come by for some amazing pancakes. He ended up making so many he had to help me finish them off. They were delicious. Thank you to Stack’d 🥞
