Rookie Spotlight: Abby Liu

October 25, 2018

I played tennis all 3.5 years at University of Texas and led my team to the Big 12 finals every year. Two of those years we went to the NCAA Sweet 16, and my last year at UT, I was ranked as high as 61 according to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.

I love tennis because when I step on the court, I feel like I'm in my element. Nothing else in the world matters. No stress. No thought about what is going to happen tomorrow or the day after. For me, it's all about being in the moment and being… Read More

At age 58, Bodybuilding.com contributor Charles Staley can still deadlift 510 pounds.

Maybe it's just me, but doing ab work pretty much sucks. Of course, there's the fact that it often burns to a degree that surpasses almost anything else we do in the gym. But it also feels like many lifters do it for purely superficial reasons. If that's your motivation, go for it. However, I've always felt better about what I'm doing if I train for functionality and strength—and simply end up with… Read More

At age 58, Bodybuilding.com contributor Charles Staley can still deadlift 510 pounds.

Taken as a whole, weight training is surprisingly safe compared to other physical activities. That may seem a little surprising, given that most gym rats seem to be complaining about some ailment or other. But the truth is, it's a short list of 2-3 very common injuries and pain issues that most of us are battling. Perhaps the most common issue, especially for men, is shoulder pain stemming from the flat barbell… Read More

Three-time Olympian Adam Nelson is the only World and Olympic Champion in the history of the shot put.

I was helping my daughter with her math homework last week. She's a gifted student, so the only time she really makes a mistake is when she rushes her work. She knows what to do, but she does much better when she slows down. Exercise is a lot like my daughter's math homework. We're often in such a hurry to finish that we miss out on a lot of potential gains. The Tic-Toc-Tober workout challenges you to slow things down in order…

Train With Purpose: Lifting With Tempo

September 28, 2018

Train With Purpose is a series brought to you in collaboration with Bodybuilding.com.

By: Charles Poliquin
Bodybuilding.com contributor Charles Poliquin trained Olympic medalists in a dozen sports. He died this week at age 57, leaving behind a substantial legacy. His works have been translated into 24 languages.

A lot of trainees I talk to want to be stronger and look stronger—in that order. They don't want to look like some over inflated balloon ready to either pop or float away. They're after the look of power—a look that visually demands respect, not ridicule. These physiques feature lots of muscle, but… Read More

September 11, 2018

First-year D10 San Francisco Bay Area athlete Nick Straughn is a Product Manager at Adobe.

You’re part of The D10’s growing “UPenn Mafia.”
Kristen Judge and I were on the same track program in college, and we had the same network of friends here in San Francisco, so she tried to recruit me for the event in 2016. I was in a bunch of men’s basketball leagues, so I put it on the backburner. Friends of mine in the New York area - Austin Josiah, Kamar Saint-Louis - were getting into it at the same time, and so this year… Read More
