When you start training from home, one of the biggest challenges is making up for a lack of true heavyweights. As you get better and you build up your home gym, there’s a chance you might eventually be able to stock it with a bench press and load a good 100kg onto that. But this costs a lot of money and involves committing a lot of space for your new home gym.
Most of us won’t have that luxury, to begin with, them and that means we’re going to be training with far fewer resources and much less weight.

Jogging has been getting a lot of bad press lately. That’s because running is an example of ‘steady state cardio’. That means that it involves exerting yourself at a low level for a long period of time – running for 30-50 minutes for example.

If you want to build muscle as quickly and effectively as possible, then you should be alternating high intensity with periods of recovery. This will burn more fat in the long term, it will increase the health of mitochondria and it will be less likely to burn through the muscle. Or at least that’s the theory. But actually, there are a lot of good reasons to carry on using steady state and we’re going to take a look at those now. Read more

If you look at the photographs of those who were prominent in the profession from the 1940s through the 1970s, the number of bodybuilding women is zero.
(The only ‘masculine’ sport that women seemed to receive any acclaim for during the era was on the old Roller Derby circuit) However, the role of women in the professional ranks of bodybuilding has increased exponentially in the last 20 years. Read more
