Muscle Growth

Gains After 40

A change often occurs in the mindset of lifters who progress past the invisible line of 40. They go from wanting to throw around as much weight as possible to wanting to get as much benefit from as little weight as possible. (This isn’t what anyone means by “muscle maturity,” but it sure sounds an awful lot like it).

Although blood flow restriction (BFR) isn’t a new idea, it might be the most overlooked technique for pumping up gains for muscle-seekers over 40. BFR training is pretty much what it sounds like: You wrap a tourniquet-like device around your muscle and pump the heck out of it with super light weight.

The feeling you get almost replicates the insane pumps you got as a newbie, and the idea is to promote just those kinds of gains again. Learn to use this technique safely, and get ready to experience some of the most insanely blown-up muscle bellies you have ever felt.

Walk It Off

A recent study set out to see if walking was the magic bullet aimed at the heart of the often-used phrase “all-cause mortality.” What they found was that activity is absolutely essential for positive health outcomes but that walking wasn’t necessarily unique in helping attain them. While walking is a great way to increase total activity, it’s also not the only way to ensure you stay active and fit. 

If you are fretting over your daily step count while also engaging in other pleasurable active pastimes, you might not need to be so obsessive about it. See the complete study and find out where your activity levels need to be to deliver you an optimal health result.

The Book of Cutler

Despite eschewing the metric system altogether, Americans can’t escape the Western tradition of grouping important pieces of information into segments of 10. We’ve joined this noble group by compiling the 10 best pieces of bodybuilding advice that the legendary Jay Cutler has ever doled out.

Cutler knows that hypertrophy is a game of eating just as much as it is of progressively moving weights, so nailing down your meal plan is going to be on top of the heap. A master of consistency and mindset, Cutler’s advice might sound basic at times, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less effective.

Everything Else

Marvelously Shredded

• Yes, Hugh Jackman is 55 years old. And yes, he’s still in unbelievable shape. Seeing his super-ripped abs should be enough to realize that maintaining peak fitness is still possible after 50.

• Supplement companies seem to adore creative, edgy misspellings of common words to inspire feelings of wild truancy and rebellion. In this vein, BarBend investigates the pre-workout Ryse (in addition to its ingredients and physiological efficacy).

• Lateral raises are just about as basic as an exercise can get. Don’t make these common mistakes when doing your favorite meat-and-potatoes deltoid training routine.
