Your Brain & Muscles On Hypnosis
Site Disclaimer: The following article was written by “Josh B” (a different Josh than Coach Josh) in exchange for files (yes, I do accept trades).
Author Disclaimer: I am a practicing neuroscientist and biochemist at an accredited university in Canada. I have attempted to extract information from peer-reviewed journals that reflect our current understanding of hypnosis and its effects/possible effects on the human brain, as well as how these neurocognitive effects can translate to long lasting changes in human muscular performance. The truth of the matter is that we don’t fully understand how hypnosis works at a neural level. Much of our understanding of neuroscience comes from the study of laboratory animals, such as rats. This is great when we are simply looking at the effects of a stimulus (eg. sleep deprivation), but not so great when we are using the power of language and relaxation to effect change in complex behaviours (such as working out or eating better). With this being said, there is more and more information coming out all the time, and it consistently appears to show that hypnosis can have a powerful effect on the mind, and that these effects can translate to real physiological and behavioural changes.

Does your chest resemble a sheet of plywood instead of the mountains of muscle you have always wanted?

5 Back Workouts For Mass
A Beginner’s Guide by Alex Stewart (repost)
If you’re someone who only like to work out your “show muscles” (chest, arms, abs and some shoulders) then move on, but if you are looking to have a thick, dense and well-balanced upper body then stick around.
Today we are going to discuss how to turn your baby back into wide thick wings of muscle. In most cases the back is an afterthought for many beginners. The back can’t be seen when you look in the mirror, and most people have a hard time contracting the back when they first start working out, so the majority of beginners do a few half-hearted sets of pull-downs and low cable rows and move on to something else. In this article I will discuss the anatomy of the back, its function, location in the body, and some exercises for each area of the back. Finally I will include five of my favorite workout programs to help turn your tiny back into massive slabs of muscle.

A Beginner’s Guide by Alex Stewart (repost)
What is the true indication of a great physique? Is it large, peaked biceps? Is it razor-sharp abs? Is it bowling-ball shoulders or a wide thick back? None of those are correct. The real answer is, symmetry. A “Symmetrical Physique” is one in which all body parts flow into each other. No one body part or side of the body is bigger than the other.
Today you are going to start down a new road, a journey which few make and even fewer survive. The path will be clearly set out before you by the words in this article. The journey will be hard, harder than anything you have ever done before, but once you see the results you will continue this journey of leg training for life.

Shoulders are an important muscle, so why is it that so many people can’t seem to develop a thick, well-balanced set? The first step is to make sure you’re eating enough calories to build mass. Take a look at your diet, and add in a whey protein supplement to your regimen if necessary.
In the article below I will discuss the anatomy of the shoulder muscle group, its function, it’s location in the body, and some strength-training exercises for each muscle in the group.
Finally, I will include five of my favorite workout programs to help turn those baseball-sized knobs into massive bowling balls of muscle.
