T-mag is getting huge. No doubt about it. That’s great, but with so many new readers the forum tends to get a lot of the same questions coming in. To help out those new readers, I’d like to start a series of posts about your favorite T-mag articles. That way the newer readers can go check them out and get up to speed. It will also allow the “old school” regulars to see what articles have really influenced their peers.
So, let’s start with training. What’s the best training article you’ve read at T-mag? Answer with the title and a link. For example, say, I like “Pop’em Out Muscles” by John Paul Catanzaro. You can find it here: Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION
I’ll choose one person at random who posts the name and the link to receive either a bottle of MAG-10 and a Testosterone T-shirt or two bottles of Myostat and a shirt, your choice. Let’s hear it.
Being a Lurch (6’6"), the deadlift is one of the few exercises that I can move quite a bit of weight. By the way, this is a great thread! I’m looking forward to seeing what articles have inspired others…Matt
It is not a single article but a series of articles by the same person: Dave Tate on westside protocols for periodisation and tricksand tips to increase bench and squat. Every athlete, not just powerlifter, who wants to get stronger or is looking for a new workout protocol will benefit from those articels. I train westside style four times a week for sometime now, and my LBM went up too even though I was more interested in strengh (trained for 10 years before starting it). So bodybuilders can also give it a try for a couple of months; at the very least they will get stronger.
Chris - This is way too difficult to pick just one training article. The diet one is easy. Anyway, the article that opened my eyes up more than any other was the Periodization Bible Part 2 by Dave Tate.

Whether you train WSB or not, this article is loaded with exceptional amounts of useful information that anybody can add to their programs.
Long time reader first time post…
I really enjoyed,
“Short Topic: 100/100” by The Editors
Great routine to throw in for a couple weeks every few months. It will kick your butt if you pay attention to your tempo and use the right poundage… Add a 15 minute hard run at the end of your workout and it is a great fat burner too.
I would have to say my favorite training article is “Fat to Fire” by Coach Davies, one of the most challenging workouts i’ve ever completed. Its gotta be on of the “best” ways to lose fat and whip your butt into condition. You can find it in issue 190 of T-Mag, Chris, great idea, i’m not very new to the site, have been here for around a year, and its great, great idea about getting all the favorite articles out in the open, thanks alot, deuce
