Seeking scientific studies on the effects of base size/height on bodybuilding

I know that the idea that taller people somehow find it harder to gain muscle mass has been propagated pretty often, and it might be completely bullshit- so I'm looking for scientific studies that compare muscle growth in individuals to falsify or find correlations. Where can I look for such studies?

The 9 best bodyweight moves to develop colossal arms

The Workout Plan to Get a Six-Pack Without Doing a Single Crunch

Want huge, ripped arms? Toss aside those weights and get back to basics with a bodyweight-only workout.

We know what you're thinking: What the hell am I supposed to do at the gym without tricep pushdowns and dumbbell curls? But here's the thing: Without all those heavy weights, you’ll give your body and joints a much-needed break. By altering your body angle and position and getting creative with the right tools at your gym, you can still get the necessary stimulus for real growth in your biceps, triceps, shoulders, and forearms.

Substitute your normal arm exercises with these bodyweight moves for the next few weeks and watch your arms grow like weeds—you’re welcome.

(SIB) The new encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding

Unsure where to post this but think this is the best place. So I have always been more of a powerlifter and interested in increasing raw strength, but lately I have become a bit more interested in some bodybuilding as well. Do you think Arnolds book would be a good purchase in that case, do you maybe also have some other recommendations as well?

Bodybuilders who have family members/kids who excel in athletics?

I know this is a kind of weird question, but I have this theory that lifting affects the epigenetics of a person and their offspring, and increased muscle density is somewhat passed down and makes the kid more likely to be athletic growing up. It's not based on any kind of science, just a little theory I have.

I randomly found out that Johnny Jackson's kid was a top 15 recruit for track and field (weight throw).

I know there are a couple others out there but I can't remember them off hand. Anyone got some names?

For anyone whos developed a strong body-wide mind muscle connection, do you ever feel like everything is uneven?

Ive been lifting for around 7 years now and Ive developed a pretty strong connection to a majority of my muscles. Since Ive felt the connection getting stronger, I also feel like nothing is even anymore. My shoulders always feel like ones higher or further back than the other, my back never feels like its keeping my posture up evenly, and pushing/pulling just feels a little different everywhere. When I look in a mirror to make sure everything is even and in a good anatomically healthy position, I still feel uneven. Is it just normal muscle imbalances or is it something in my head? Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Any discussion will help, thanks!

Working in bodybuilding with Tennis?

Hi.

I do weights to increase my strength and to get a bit more muscle (no duh) but I am finding that I am struggling to maintain it with my Tennis schedule. I play on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at a minimum and it's not finding the time but dealing with DOMS. I am finding myself stiff and sore during tennis which really effects my ability to relax during shots.

I find I am missing half a week of possible gym time.

Does anyone have any advice that would help me work in the two together?

How to maintain single-digit body fat

According to the American Council on Exercise, essential body fat for men is 2 to 5 percent, and the “athlete” range is 6 to 13 percent. However, “although single digits seems enticing, low double-digits are just as impressive and easier to attain and maintain,” says Angel Aulet, an International Physique League Athletic Pro and personal trainer and group fitness instructor at serveral boutique gyms in NYC.

“The average man can live his entire life with 12 or 13 percent and still have abs and look good—I’ve been there for the last 12 years.” (He’s not a complete freak of nature; he was in the more mortal 16 to 17 percent range before that.)

[RELATED1]

That said, if you’re starting at around 15 percent right now, you can work to get yourself down into the hallowed single digits in about two months, at least temporarily. Aulet does it before his shows and photo shoots, but he warns: It ain’t pretty. “Expect mood swings!” he jokes (kind of).

He also points out, that as with anything, there are pros and cons. “You will have a fantastic-looking physique, but your face may look a little gaunt—expect dark undereye circles,” he says. “You may also feel weakness, possibly sudden, or lightheadedness because you’re not taking in enough carbs.” In which case, eat some, please! And you should also talk to your doc about your plans beforehand.

[RELATED2]

Finally, “consider your current profession and lifestyle when entering a program like this. If you’re not a fitness model or competitor, do you really need to go there?” asks Aulet. “During this time, you’re going to say no to social events, and casual eating out is going to be difficult—alcohol is not part of it.” To that end...

The superhero workout to build your own body of steel

The Incredible Hulk

It’s time to get in “super” shape.

With superhero films and comic-book adaptations all the rage in Hollywood, there are more chiseled and jacked actors taking to the screen than you can count on two hands. Want to get yourself in just as good of shape as some of those heroic actors? We have the workout for you.

Follow this plan and you can bulk up like former Men’s Fitness cover star Henry Cavill, who put himself through some rigorous training to play Superman.

[RELATED1]

With this superhero workout you'll build:

Chest and shoulders like The Hulk: Bruce Banner didn't have to hit the gym before throwing tanks across town and crushing cars between his palm—he simply got angry. But since experimental genomic modification is out of reach for the average dude, we asked Men's Fitness training adviser Jason Ferruggia for a routine to build a gigantic chest and shoulders.

Forearms like Wolverine: Wolverine may have the most impressive forearms of any comic-book hero. Follow this program from C.J. Murphy, a Boston-based strength coach, to one-up him.

Speed like The Flash: To build blink-and-you'll-miss-me speed, increase your power, and improve your running form. Patrick Beith, a speed and performance expert in North Attleboro, MA, shows you how—red bodysuit not required.

[RELATED2]

Agility like Spider-Man: Spidey relies on quick reflexes to stay one step ahead of his arch-nemeses. You can improve your ability to react and change direction with explosive speed—whether on the athletic field or in the street—using the exercises and drills below, provided by Joe DeFranco, a strength coach in Wyckoff, NJ.

5 things muscle activation technique training can do for your body

Training With Partner

There’s more to muscle maintenance than regular strength sessions and bumping up to the next weight when things feel too easy at the bench. Communication between your brain and muscles also comes into play—and that process is the focus of muscle activation technique training. Here’s how it works: When a muscle is too weak to stabilize a joint, the brain tells other muscles around that joint to tighten up to keep that joint safe. Problem is, not all muscles get the memo. When your brain only sends signals to some muscles, those areas work overtime while other areas do very little work at all, explains MAT specialist Joey Emont.

The good news: personal trainers certified in MAT training can identify weak muscles, or those that aren’t properly communicating with the brain, and walk you through exercises that target those very specific areas. Fixing the way that muscles contract and more evenly distributing work among muscles in a group can do a lot for the body. Here are five things you can expect from MAT training.

[RELATED1]

1. Increased strength

You’re not working at your full potential if all of your muscles aren’t communicating effectively with your brain. If only 50% of your muscles are functioning, then you could literally double your strength with MAT.

2. Improved coordination

Your brain wants to keep your body safe from injury, but in doing so it sometimes formulates “blind spots” in the way you move. Your brain tells your body to use the strongest muscles to get from point A to point B, even if those muscles don’t function together in a clean line of movement. MAT helps strengthen the muscles that move in a direct path, making your movements quicker and more coordinated.

3. Improved flexibility

Inhibited muscles can send the wrong feedback to your brain and limit your range-of-motion. If you’ve been stretching for years without broadening your range, MAT may help you see some improvements.

[RELATED2]

4. Lower risk of injury

MAT increases stability by strengthening weak muscles. If you find yourself landing wrong in a sport, you’ll be much less likely to tear a muscle or injure yourself. MAT may just save your ACLs.

5. Less pain

Pain is usually the result of long-term muscle dysfunction, or bad movement patterns that have been repeated for years. Combine this with improper communication between muscles and the brain, and you’re sure to be hurting. MAT improves the brain-muscle communication loop, which can decrease pain.

The Ultimate Dumbbell-only Lower-body Workout for Massive Legs

Bodybuilder performing dumbbell lunge
MRBIG_PHOTOGRAPHY / Getty

There is little doubt that legs day is the toughest and most grueling workout session of the week. That is if you're bold enough to treat the muscles of your lower body as seriously as those above the waist. If you do your training at a commercial gym it's likely that you hit quads with such movements as leg extensions, barbell squats, Smith or Hack squats, and some form of the leg press, while the hamstrings are most often treated to lying leg curls, seated leg curls, and perhaps stiff-legged deadlifts.

[RELATED1]

When it comes to smashing calves you will probably visit the seated and standing calf machine, and maybe even throw in some calf presses. That definitely sounds like a solid plan, and if each exercise is performed with focus and intensity, you should leave the gym feeling satisfied that you put in a good workout.

That said, for your next legs-training day I am going to challenge you to leave the barbells alone and shy away from all of those fancy machines. So how will you go about destroying your lower body without those “essential” pieces of equipment? How about an all-dumbbell session for the quads, hams, and calves. Might sound a little crazy, and maybe even a little bit limiting, but I assure you that once you're done, you'll no longer doubt the power of the dumbbell.
