TRAINING TIP

The King Speaks

You don’t become “the King” by doing things the wrong way.

Yet, even though many of Ronnie Coleman’s bodybuilding tips make perfect sense, he’s also proven he isn’t the most astute exercise scientist on certain topics. Then again, when you have eight Mr. Olympia titles to your name, shouldn’t you automatically qualify as a subject-matter expert in the muscle-building game?

In a Q&A video published on YouTube on Nov. 4, 2024, Coleman unsurprisingly named the squat, bench press, and deadlift as his top three exercises. While that shouldn’t have come as a total shock given his well-documented history of dominating the Big Three, did the legendary bodybuilder leave some meat on the proverbial bone with his choices?

A MESSAGE FROM PERPETUA LIFE

Novaxidil Triple Action Hair Regrowth Treatment

Novaxidil is a Premium OTC Triple Action hair loss treatment that stimulates hair regrowth, prevents further loss, AND nourishes your scalp with a combination of clinically proven ingredients: 5% Minoxidil, 2% K-Conazole, 1% Nicotinamide, Vitamin K, Biotin, and Collagen Peptides.

Our team of MD/PhD's formulated Novaxidil to maximize results while minimizing side effects.

MINOXIDIL 5%: Minoxidil is the Gold Standard for hair regrowth. It achieves this by shortening the telogen phase, extending the anagen phase, increasing blood flow to the scalp, and increasing dermal papilla cell activity.

K-CONAZOLE™ 2%: Studies have shown that K-Conazole™, a proprietary version of the popular compound, blocks the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to male pattern baldness, as effectively as prescription alternatives like FINA without the side effects. It works by inhibiting the 5-alpha reductase (5AR) enzyme, which converts testosterone into DHT.

NICOTINAMIDE 1%: Nicotinamide, also known as niacinamide, has potent effects on hair regrowth. In studies, it has been shown to increase blood flow, and reduce inflammation to the scalp, as well as prevent premature catagen entry, and increase hair thickness. Nicotinamide works in synergy with Minoxidil, and K-Conazole™ to maximize hair regrowth, and minimize loss like no other product on the market!

Before you give up, and start rocking the "bald look," give Novaxidil a try. We're confident you won't regret it.

Delts for Days

Want your muscles to pop instantly? Then you’ve got to have your shoulder routine down to a science. By increasing the mass in your deltoids, you'll widen your torso and achieve that coveted V-taper. Also, your strength will skyrocket for important pushing exercises like the bench press and overhead press.

However, growing your delts requires a more meticulous approach than other muscle groups. You can’t just throw multiple plates on the barbell, pump out reps like you could on squats, and expect them to grow.

Your experience level as a lifter — beginner, intermediate, or advanced — will determine the specific movements and volume that are right for you. So, whether you're starting out or a seasoned pro, here are some bodybuilding shoulder workouts and training tips to help you develop those rounded delts.

Olympia Back Workout

At just 27, Martin “the Martian” Fitzwater finished a remarkable fourth at the 2024 Mr. Olympia competition, shaking up the field in a big way in his first outing.

• Fitzwater credits the pull-up, along with its many variations, as the back exercise that helped turn his back from a weak point to a strong suit at the “O.”

“It took my back from one of my worst body parts to one of my best,” Fitzwater said on Nov. 10, 2024. Here’s how Fitzwater used pull-ups to force his way into the limelight.
