“Does it work?” This infamous question, asked by countless aspiring strength athletes, receives at least as much face time in free-weight facilities as “how much can you bench?” However, the later allows a much more definitive answer – defined by exactly how much one can lift – while the former is too vague and subjective. Suddenly increasing training volume may work well, but the true benefit could be the injected variety, beneficial changes in nutritional support, heightened excitement to perform or a less stressful personal life. Whether a dietary supplement works well for performance enhancement is also subject to many variables. Even when a pharmaceutical compound is clinically proven, there always remains a portion of non-responders. To truly realize which ergogenic aids are effective, athletes must understand their body’s unique requirements, inherited advantages and handicaps, as well as muster the mental motivation to put up with demanding training schedules.

Since prehistoric times, bird eggs have played an important part in the human diet. They are rich in taste, highly nutritious and easy to prepare. The protein found in eggs is more complete than meats and fish. It contains all essential amino acids in ratios that yield a high biological value, needed to maximize muscle growth and fuel an energetic nervous system. Ancient Roman gladiators had to be strong and healthy to survive intense battles – and many early Romans reportedly started meals with a course of eggs. Today, eggs remain a well established dietary addition for strength athletes. It’s not unreasonable to expect a carton of eggs (or six!) in the refrigerators of bodybuilders and powerlifters. As we bask in a society ravaged by health complications and obesity, eggs are receiving a lot of blame for increases in heart disease due to their high cholesterol content. People are led to believe it’s healthier to discard yolks, in favor for whites, or eliminate them from their diet all together. The vilification of eggs continues to pass on like a bad rumor; despite several recent scientific studies demonstrating that healthy adults can safely enjoy eggs everyday, without any negative affects on their health.

Power is the capacity to bring about change. In society, powerful people influence populations through dynamic dialogue and confident communication. In general physics terms, powerful objects have a high capacity to transfer energy, or an average amount of work done per unit of time. Powerlifting is a sport of attempting great feats of limit and relative strength, in order to surpass previous performance records in major lifts. Bodybuilding is the application of training sciences to enhance musculature through tension and improve physical appearance. Although bodybuilders often dismiss any need to train like a powerlifter, the underlying concepts must not be ignored when attempting to maximize muscular proportions. Powerbuilding maximizes muscle size by training the human body to evolve into a more powerful entity. Read more
