1. #1 Rhode Island Shines in Hall of Fame Tournament
Rhode Island’s best performance over the weekend was not in a win, but rather a loss.
The Rams (4-1) were able to keep up with the top ranked team in the country, Duke (4-1), in a 75-65 loss in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament. It came after the team beat another ranked team, #24 Cincinnati (2-1) 76-71, the day before.
Against some of the best competition the Atlantic 10 will face this year, Rhode Island carried the banner for the conference. The team just proved to the conference, and the country, that they will be the favorites to win the Atlantic 10 when March comes around.
Against two nationally ranked opponents, the starters for the Rams played their hearts out. Both teams had the Rams scouted and were able to limit E.C. Matthews as best as any team could. As a result it led to junior, Jared Terrell averaging 18 points in the tournament, leading the team including 22 against the Blue Devils on Sunday.
When the Blue Devils would normally stomp on the throat of their opponents, Rhode Island fought back. Twice with less than ten minutes to go, Duke extended their lead to 18 but the Rams would not let them pull away.
In fact, Duke was forced to keep their starters in for the duration of the game. Only two bench players saw action for a combined 12 minutes.
Defensively, senior Hassan Martin blocked the Blue Devils seven times, while also generating 15 points in the paint. The 6’7” forward added six rebounds and a steal to help the Rams defensively.
This was the first major test for the Rams, and the last until conference play begins at the end of the year. The biggest blip on the radar will be in-stat rival Providence on Dec. 3.
2. #2 A10 gets Mixed Results in Preseason Tournaments
Besides Rhode Island, the rest of the conference has not looked bright in preseason tournaments. Combined as a league, they are 7-5 in tournaments thus far, including three wins from Fordham (4-1) hosting a single-bid conference teams.
Preseason tournament are the perfect chance for mid-major conferences to shape the mold for the NCAA tournament in the spring.
Last season, the conference only picked up seven Power 5 wins in the first half of the year, their lowest since conference realignment. As a result only three teams made the big dance last year. Unless the conference picks it up this week, it may be a repeat.
After Davidson (3-1) started with a disappointing loss to Clemson, the Wildcats rebounded and got wins over Missouri and Arizona State to finish fifth in the Tire Pros Invitational.
St. Joseph’s (3-1) lost to Ole Miss and will play NC State on Monday for a chance at third place in the Paradise Jam.
And to wrap it up, Duquesne (2-3) is 0-2 in the Bluegrass Showcase with losses to Kentucky and Canisius. The team will play Cleveland State and UT Martin later in the week.
Seven more Atlantic 10 teams will kick off their respective preseason tournaments this week and will look to pull in bigger wins for the conference.
3. #3 Massachusetts Shows Off Recruiting Class
Before the start of the season, Massachusetts quietly pulled in the 27th best recruiting class in the nation according to ESPN.
The Minutemen brought in six recruits, three four-star and three three-star players. By far it was the best class in the conference, with no other school breaking into ESPN’s top 40.
This weekend, everyone was properly introduced to the class of 2016.
Two of the freshman started for Massachusetts (3-1) this weekend against two NCAA caliber opponents, Ole Miss and Temple. They were two four star guards Dejon Jarreau and Luwane Pipkins.
In both games, Jarreau led the way. The 6’5” guard had 25 points against Ole Miss and 16 against Temple. He was a matchup nightmare for opponents, driving to the basket when played tightly and pulling up when his defender played off of him. He could not be stopped this weekend.
Not only can he score but he can give it up to his teammates. A combined 13 assists in those two games, for the season he averages six in every matchup.
Pipkins could be the play maker for the Minutemen however they needed. Against Ole Miss in a loss, he had 18 points and a single rebound, against Temple in a win, he only had six points but nine rebounds. Take into account he is listed as 5’11” on the roster.
Both Tyrn Flowers and Chris Baldwin also saw time this past weekend off the bench. Together they had seven points, 13 rebounds, and two blocks.
The remaining freshmen, Brison Gresham and Unique McClean appear to be on their way to red-shirted seasons as they have seen no action this year in four games.
Forget about Massachusetts being a threat in the Atlantic 10 in the upcoming years. They are already a dangerous team.
4. #4 Mason Sophomores Struggling Early
Last season George Mason appeared to putting together a young, talented team. The team had two freshmen starters, with two others being regular role players for the team.
In 2015-16, the now sophomores have struggled to put up the numbers.
The main trio of players includes Otis Livingston II, Jaire Grayer, and DeAndre Abram. As freshmen they averaged 28 points a game, shooting 37 percent on the season. They also would dish out just short of five assists per game.
Stepping up for their sophomore seasons for Mason (1-2), the numbers have not improved with Abram now as the expected starter. They still average 28 points a game but are shooting better at 46 percent.
A huge difference for this team last season was the presence of 6’11” center, Shevon Thompson on the court. As one of the most talented players on the court, Thompson would gather double and triple teams inside the paint, leaving one of freshman guards open on a wing or corner.
Without Thompson, these guys are going to have to generate more plays themselves to get involved in the scoring. Jalen Jenkins will not attract as much attention inside the paint as Thompson, so the sophomores will have to find ways to get open and finish contested jumpers.
The season is still young for the Patriots who are playing with a new scheme, in addition to losing Thompson. It will not take much for the team to turn it around.
5. #5 Class of the Conference
There are only two teams that remain undefeated for the conference, George Washington and VCU who are both 3-0.
Neither team has garnished a big win but has done what has been asked of them.
That is more than Fordham can say at 4-1 with all five of their games being walk-overs (which their loss should have been).
No question Rhode Island is the top followed by Dayton, but Davidson and Massachusetts have a case for the next tier. The Wildcats have gotten two big wins over Missouri and Arizona State to result in their fifth place finish in the Tires Pro Invitational. Later in the season they will play against in-state rival North Carolina and Kansas, both who are ranked in the top 10.
The Minutemen meanwhile have not played a bad game this season. Although freshmen are in their starting lineup, which may lead to inconsistencies, they have a good balance of experience among their starters. It led to a win over 2016 NCAA tournament team, Temple.
Dayton nearly came back against #17 St. Mary’s College missing Kendall Pollard and Josh Cunningham. The team also has a win over Alabama and a string of strong, winnable game on the horizon.

comment too support you.
A little bit of chest, back, shoulders, arms, and legs!
Each muscle group ought to be fatigued when you’re done with a full-body routine.
I used major compound lifts which are finest for
bettering strength and building muscle. In addition, I’ve integrated a
minimum of one exercise from every main movement pattern. For the rest of us, full-body
packages and 4-day workout splits are sometimes higher, as they’re much less committing and supply more time for rest and restoration.
This program ought to be followed for as lengthy
as you want to bulk. If you wouldn’t have access to
gear needed in the above workout, then do not hesitate to modify up the workout routines.
Changing exercises once in a while is nice to stop muscle adaptation too.
Typically we do not keep in mind how strong we have gotten because the beginning of our exercises.
A log is a good software to make use of as a reference to what quantity of features you’ve made.
If your goal is robust hypertrophy and muscle energy you
should work out with a weight that is 80% of RM.
What you eat after your coaching impacts protein synthesis which takes place a few hours after your workout is finished.
As A Substitute of doing a single marathon exercise daily, aim for
2 exercises, with plenty of time to relaxation, recover,
and refuel in between. Give yourself 4-6 weeks to finally attain your target calorie intake,
increasing in increments to let your body adapt.
Your legs are the inspiration upon which your physique rests.
A good bodybuilding leg workout is probably the most
bodily and mentally draining training day of the week, however the results
are nicely value it. To be clear, training for 4 or 5 days per week continues to
be extremely effective because it lets you get in more work volume.
Nonetheless, fatigue administration becomes a bit more necessary as it’s easier to burn out, particularly for
beginners. This is troublesome to do except your programming is on point, and even still, it’s nonetheless exhausting on the body.
Going to the health club for two or three days in a row can make it very difficult to provide 100% effort as you’re
still probably fatigued from the final session, even if you don’t really feel prefer
it. For the exercises that I’ve assigned a 3×12-15 rep scheme, use a weight that lets you work somewhere between the given vary.
You can live and be wholesome on protein and fats alone.
The fats you eat provide a mixture of saturated and unsaturated
fat however in several proportions. Dietary fats is an essential macronutrient, similar to protein. You also can get protein from protein powders like
whey protein, casein protein, or plant-based options
like soy protein. The three macronutrients, protein,
fat, and carbohydrates, are nearly equally important factors.
Here are a few of the most common questions we get
about bulking… Total, a extra superior trainee will want more variety/specificity.
So, interested by how to bulk successfully and need to resolve
whether or not the strategy is true for you?
Below, specialists explain what bulking is, how
to bulk effectively and safely, and the vital thing muscle-building tweak you may be lacking
in your routine. When you think of bulking, you might bring to
mind bodybuilders or power lifters, but that might solely be a half of the picture.
Whereas bulking does mean putting on muscle (in a nut shell), per
Laura Girard, CPT, and it’s a technique just about anyone can profit from.
Your muscular tissues can only take so much earlier than they run out of
energy and hit “failure”. That’s not a bad thing—it’s just the finest way your body is—but you’ll have to take a unique strategy if you want to
bulk up.
However, you can’t go incorrect with including them in your exercises or even basing your complete
coaching routine on them. A lot of people name dips “the squat for the upper physique,” and they aren’t incorrect.
Few workout routines are more effective for hitting your pecs, shoulders, and triceps in one movement.
Finally, you’ll have to try a few totally different training approaches
to determine which works greatest. The reality is that BOTH kinds of workout
are valuable and can work for beginners and more advanced exercisers.
So, it’s not as simple as saying one is better than the
other because your private circumstances will determine which one is the best option for you.
However, as soon as you’ve accomplished ten or
so sets, you attain a point of diminishing returns, and
every subsequent set is extra fatiguing however much less stimulating.
Even though there’s a high variability from one particular person to the subsequent,
this offers you a good suggestion of the slabs of muscle you would placed on in as little
as 12-weeks.
The 51-year-old knuckled down for six months of intense coaching, sculpting the physique of a man you positively wouldn’t want to choose a struggle
with. Speaking to The Independent, Graham’s trainer, skilled bodybuilder Rob Thurston,
explains how he did it. So, when you work out
with a weight that’s 80% of RM, you should do 5-10 reps per set.
If you have any questions about our bulking program, please reach

week. Really, the one dietary supplements you want are

That mentioned, many meals have each saturated and unsaturated fats, so don’t fear too much
about all this.
You want to build monsterous size, however don’t be a monsterous lug head—increasing weight by very small increments like 5-pounds can surprisingly go
a good distance. Whereas you’re coaching every muscle group 3x per week, you will still
have sufficient restoration time between sessions as you’ll solely
perform a few workouts per muscle group per day.
With a full body exercise plan, you know precisely what you’re doing that day…everything!
Splitting the physique over four coaching days,
you’ll use a choice of unpretentious and effective exercises,
sans advanced techniques and methods. Lift a heavy weight for the prescribed reps, relaxation two minutes
and do it again. When you’ve been lifting for years, you can’t add muscle
mass in a brief period of time, irrespective of the way you eat.
That signifies that if you begin pounding the energy, the pounds you
add to your body shall be fat weight. Gaining muscle and dropping fats with a
year-long bulking plan requires careful monitoring of progress.
However you just don’t really need to assume too
much about it. You simply must eat plenty
of food and get sufficient protein. If you’re a true exhausting
gainer, it’s most likely finest to not do cardio in any respect, as you’ll already have trouble getting enough calories and can probably be lean as is.

1 or 2 cardio classes per week. Not only

phase, Thurston steadily increased Graham’s day by day energy to around 3,000.
While it’s necessary to consume enough calories and
protein in your diet, dietary supplements can also be helpful for bulking up and supporting muscle growth.
You need to comply with a bulking exercise plan that includes compound exercises, isolation workouts, relaxation, and restoration. As a personal trainer, I typically get requested about one of the
best workout routines to build muscle mass.

But when you have a moderately unawesome back, barbell again squats aren’t going to be comfy or safe. It could also be tempting to look down at your ft, however preserving a neutral backbone would be best. Trying down may place your neck in danger and will shift your body weight, which could make the exercise more challenging for no good cause. Whereas the hack squat is a beginner-friendly movement, there are some things to be careful for. If you’ve lower back or knee ache, the hack squat often isn’t a good choice. The Smith machine is amongst the most helpful pieces of kit out there. You can work each muscle in multiple methods, and also you don’t need to worry about stabilizing weight.
The alternative between the hack squat and the Smith machine finally is dependent upon your particular person objectives, expertise, and bodily limitations. If you’re familiar with a vertical or 45-degree leg press, then choosing the one you’re most familiar and cozy with could be the proper alternative. The amount of weight that you could load onto a leg press is important to think about. It’s not a massive feat of energy to leg press 100s of kilos of weight, so you want to know your leg press can handle it. With the inclined position, you’re not truly lifting the entire weight of the sled. You’re normally lifting about 85% of the load, so there’s an increased want for weight and increased pressure on the knee and hip joints.
The hack squat can be a secure motion that lets you construct muscle and energy in the lower physique, particularly the quadriceps. Due To This Fact, if you would like to do the hack squat for quad improvement, then you are able to do so with confidence so long as you put within the proper effort and keep right kind. If you do not have entry to a machine, you can still replicate the hack squat in a regular health club using a barbell and a few weight plates. The key to the barbell hack squat is transferring the bar from your shoulders to immediately behind you, beginning with the load on the floor. That means, you’re still in a place to take the load off your shoulders and focus on your lower physique while working with heavy weights.
Nevertheless, there’s a certain limit to how costly or how low-cost a leg press machine is, and those that fall into those classes don’t make the minimize. There has to be consistency on what clients are saying for a product to get merit. Are people saying it could accommodate their size when it’s marketed as such? We want our leg press equipment’s advertisement to be actual and not just a bunch of nice-sounding words put collectively. Investing in a leg press machine isn’t any small matter, and we imagine that the costs ought to justify an equipment’s lifespan, which is dictated by how sturdy and hard it is. You can select to get the 310 lb weight stack (optional) at an additional worth.
They give you versatility in your motion due to the potential for 360-degree motion. With a landmine, it’s simple to transition between planes and get some truly inventive exercises in.

These lower reps will not produce much volume, and because you’re stopping with one set at a low RPE, it shouldn’t have an result on you. Both the belt squat and Hatfield squat produce related motion patterns while taking stress off the again. The belt squat does this through the use of a belt wrapped round your waist. You’ll want access to a belt squat machine, or you ought to use a dip belt. We will now lay out your accessory movements alongside your again squat. If that is your problem, you must drop the weight until your kind is nice and begin over.
Your upper and lower back and hips should be in contact with the again pad. So, as I say, squatting may not be for everyone, and you may actually construct a unbelievable physique with out barbell back squats. Nonetheless, the overwhelming majority of people ought to be succesful of hack squat significantly extra weight than they will again squat. There are statistics which reveal that on average you must be ready to hack squat approximately 21% extra weight than they will back squat. This actually will increase to 44% for elite-level lifters (training for five years or more). Because of this, they’ll easily be overtaxed, making them additional vulnerable to accidents.
