Sucker Punch: Dan John

I enjoy reading T-Muscle. Overall, they have more good articles than most any other bodybuilding magazine or on-line bodybuilding site, but I have to say that the best thing about them is Dan John—if it wasn't for T-Muscle then I would never have been introduced to some of the best training articles (and honest advice) from the pen of Dan John. He ranks right up there with Bill Starr and George Turner. If you don't believe me, then be sure to read T-Muscle's latest interview with him. Just click on the link below:

Remembering Don Howorth

Some Thoughts and Remembrances on “The Duke of Delts” Don Howorth, His Training Methodology, and His Departure from Earthly Life      Even though I spend quite a bit of my time writing articles and essays for this blog, along with other writing projects that I have going on, I don’t spend that much time online.  As I have a feeling it’s the same with many of you, if I do get online, it’s not long before I’m down some rabbit hole of different posts, videos, articles, or whatever else it is that I get sucked into on the internet.  Then, once I come to my senses, I discover that I’ve wasted the last half hour or so doing little other than rotting away my precious gray cells, to paraphrase the words of that famous Belgian detective written by the world’s most famous British mystery writer.  But not being online 24/7 has one drawback, I suppose.  I’m often out of touch with the latest news in the bodybuilding/strength and power community.  ...

Anthony Ditillo and the Development of Muscular Bulk and Power

Ditillo the legend in all of his massive and cool glory. Lessons in Muscular Bulk and Power from Anthony Ditillo (With a Little Help from Dezso Ban)      Per a request from a reader, the other day I started to do some research on Anthony Ditillo to write the very thing that you’re now reading.  I have written about Ditillo’s methods here and there over the years, but have never written an article dedicated solely to the legendary bodybuilding writer/strength and power athlete.  It didn’t take long for me to realize that there’s not a whole lot on Ditillo’s personal life.  I think the man, to be honest, would have wanted it that way.  He dedicated his life to discovering, and then writing about, the best methods on the planet for building massive amounts of both size and strength.  He tried out numerous workout routines and programs in an attempt to find the very best of those methods and techniques on the planet, then passed that knowle...

The Deadlift Ultimate

AKA: The Last Deadlift Training Article You EVER Need to Read! Tips, Techniques, Tricks, Workout Routines, and Training Suggestions for Building Incredible Deadlift Strength and Power      Okay, maybe my “also known as” title here is a little, you know, over the top.  But as I sit here at my laptop, tapping away at these keys, my goal is (or at least make a valiant effort) to write the end-all, be-all article for building a monstrously strong and powerful deadlift.  I have the deadlift on my mind after penning my last few articles—a few on Anthony Ditillo’s training methods, another on a 3-day Russian training program, and my recent essay on an overview of Russian methods—because here’s the lowdown for the deadlift: while I love Ditillo’s training methods and Russian workout plans overall, I don’t necessarily think any of those methods are the best when it comes to the deadlift.  If you want to get really big and strong, plus build up your squat...
