Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger are true #friendshipgoals. Stallone posted a portion of his speech to longtime pal Arnold Schwarzenneger on Monday, in honor of the star's 70th birthday. Holding the mic, Stallone compliments his friend, "You don't quit, you don't quit, and you still don't quit. It's boundless energy." He also couldn't help but add in a little dig. "But, you've been a fantastic enemy and a better friend," he joked. "That's all I can say bro. Congratulations." A little bit of my birthday speech to the Big Man ! It's actually a one of a kind competitive relationship which we are both grateful for!

Aimless repping no longer cuts in. If you want to make the most of your gym time, get scientific about your workouts. Let's face it- we've been doing the same, old flat bench presses since Day 1 . Going in there every Monday, all hyped up for chest day and simply doing 20 sets on the bench isn't going to get you the look you're aiming for. Contrary to common beliefs, there is no 'upper' chest, 'lower' chest, 'mid' chest and so on, anatomically. The chest is made up of 2 muscles- the pectoralis major and the pectoralis minor . The diagram below depicts where they're situated. In a way, the pectoralis major is above the minor. Visually though, it is quite evident that not everybody has the same structure and that most people either have a dominating lower or upper section in the chest muscles- genetics, you see. Here are 5 TIPS to help you build a WIDER, THICKER UPPER CHEST: 1. "Feel the stretch" Yeah, you've p

Mark Bell is a professional powerlifter, as well as the owner of  Super Training Gym  in Sacramento, California. His competition achievements include a 1,025-pound squat, a 738-pound deadlift, and an 832-pound bench press. In other words, he's no slouch when it comes to performing jaw-dropping strength feats. Here are his eight best tips for putting it all together and breaking some PRs of your own: 1. Develop A Pre-Lift Routine: Correctly positioning your wrists and elbows relative to the bar is a key part of preparing for the lift. As Bell knows from his years of competition, you need a "constant" when going from one gym to the next for events."Etch your routine deep in your mind and your body. As the lights, crowds, and equipment change at different competitions, one thing stays the same: your routine." "People bench in different ways, but it's generally a good rule to keep your wrists straight and your elbows into your sides," B

Everyone has a sweet tooth. That fact is irrefutable. So, what’s better than making gains at the gym? Fuelling your post-workout recovery with a few sweet goodies — stacked with protein, that is. Apart from it being a kickass post-workout treat, having something sweet to eat at night when the cravings arise is always a bonus. Again, especially if it contains protein and makes contributions to your gains. Here are 3 delicious protein treats that you can eat without feeling guilty:  Don't overdo it, though.

Yes, I've always secretly wished that I was an Olympic sprinter. I mean yo, have you seen Yohan Blake's arms? And sprinter quads.. Man, they steal the show!  But well, as a gym bro, it's all about the gains, right? Yes, I know how it goes.  So, DOES SPRINTING HELP YOU GAIN MUSCLE? Here's the deal. Sprinting has typically been associated with athletic development rather than as a way to acquire quality muscle mass. However, while in many ways sprinters and bodybuilders couldn't be more different. Speed work such as sprinting isn't the primary method for muscle growth, but it does "speed up" the hypertrophy process. So think of sprinting as a secondary technique for size, one that can get us to our size destination much faster. Here's how specific speed work and sprinting can help you with your physique.

Push Ups are simple, effective, and you can do them anywhere.

You get better at doing Push Ups Before you get excited - let's make it clearer - you'd get better at doing a 100 Push Ups. That's pretty much it.

However, if you can't do it yet, well then, you'd get stronger.  But if you a
