Science of Exercise

Man, when I first started hitting the weights, I totally bought into that old gym myth—“Dude, your forearms get enough work with pull-ups and deadlifts, you don’t need to train ‘em!” Yeah, right. I’d just grab the bar, crank out…

Man, I still remember my first time in the weight room—just standing there, low-key sweating, eyeballing that dumbbell rack like it held all the secrets of the universe. I honestly believed that getting jacked was just about grabbing the next…
