Mass Building Tips From McMillan Here are seven pieces of the best mass building advice from Cedric McMillan and you should definitely consider them during your next gym visit. 1. Flat Smith Machine Bench Press Cedric says, “In the old days when I used to barbell bench press, I didn’t have a training partner, so it was quite risky, especially without a spotter.

Plus, not everyone is going to see your legs when you are out in public so many people don't bother working them hard. Seeing as how legs aren't extremely popular, some bodybuilders would prefer to go light on these days while telling themselves that they'll go harder the next time. And this is perfectly fine….if you want to be walking around on fu*king chicken legs. 1. Cut down on the Leg Extensions Leg extension machines are fine for quadriceps development – assuming you're an 80 year-old man. But if you truly want to put size and mass on your legs, you aren't going to do it through a leg extension machine. You are going to accomplish growth by doing various squats and dead lifts.

To add extra resistance, you can use thick grip add-ons that will make things a bit more difficult. Start with a light weight and add...

Weight lifting can be hard during Ramadan, especially if it happens to fall during the peak of the summer. This post will teach you exactly what you should about Intermittent Fasting and training. 1.
