I think you should go over there and pull a Kuso on them!


My Ex-friend was stating that push ups are equal to benching. Scientifically yes, I agree with him BUT it's not going to get you huge!

But according to him huge is stupid and everyone in BB uses steroids!

Now I DON'T TALK TO HIM ANYMORE!

So, everyone is a doctor-know-it-all over there? You never know Firestorm, they could be doctors etc... Do you know their backgrounds? (I'm not defending them keep in mind) Just speaking rationally.

Oh yes David I knew enough about them from posts. How bout high schoolers and Collage kids. Saw their pics on the pic section and they were built like Jerry Lewis.

If all bodybuilders are on steroids then DAMN... Mine aren't working I want a fuq'n refund!!!!!

all bodybuilders eat low carbs?? all their life???

Hey! Jerry Lewis is HUGE!


What is a "Collage kid"? Is that like a flaming homo? (as dg would say?)

College sorry

I was kidding... I knew what you were implying!

By all means, Oceangurl01.. was your question about low carbs and BB's?


I think w8 said it best somewhere...... We eat out of neccesity and we do it smartly. So the ratio of protein intake to carbs is lower (carbs) but smart carbs at the right time. Although w8 didn't say it like that but I think she said, also...

Eating.... the way of life... NOT diet! I hate that word!

you saying you dont eat any ice cream or cookies with sugar?? or maybe you do cheat sometimes do you?? does it show the diffrence on your weight?

Well, that would depend on you and your goals and what your trying to achieve.

Let's say your at your ideal size and happy with your figure.

Then, there is a cheat day that you should have. However, I wouldn't bombard yourself with the above examples..... throughout the day. There are also substitutes... like frozen yogurt and sugarless cookies (crap! )

I think Sherry Giardina said it best. Don't fully deprive yourself of food items your crave.. if you must have a cookie, be sure to eat it early on in the day!

Of course if your striving for a goal or competing, I would stay strong and "no" would not EVEN think about eating it/that!

It's all about heart and what you want out of your training. Know the obvious (eating regimen) and don't piss away all of your hard earned gains!

Again, this is my opinion and no, I do NOT compete.......

Someone else may say something different than I! Such a s Firestorm!

Side note.... ridding sugar completely can be tough but no, I'm not implying that! But it MAKES the difference! Ask w8 on that one and check her online diary!

I just thought of something else that makes me ILL in the gym.. That would be heavy LEG day.

Legs are great.... are you kidding? He He He!

up to how many minutes can i do cardio in the morning on an empty stomach??? (well just coffee) and what should i eat after my cardio and abs workout???

30-60 mins including warm up. Although some say 60 mins is too much..... so say 45 mins.

BTW, when do you do your weights??

i do weights and abs about 4 times a week and cardio and abs twice a week ( cardio on seperate days) but i warm up for about 10 minutes (cardio) everytime before i do weights.

If tone and weight loss is what your trying to achieve then, why don't you do a cardio split on your weight days??

For example:

20 mins cardio
Workout
25 mins cardio
abs

But then again, I'm not sure of your stats, bf% etc....

Oh wow! Someone voted on this of the past!

someone voted on this recently and dug it out of the archives! !!!

Here is a new one.

Yesterday morning, I felt like that American Express Commmercial where this guy goes on vacation to this beautful secluded part of the island (Antigua), sets his chair out in the empty beach with no one around, sits in his chair, puts on the sunscreen and kicks back in the chair letting out a big SIGH of relief knowing that he is all alone for awhile. Then, 20 seconds later, this IDIOT comes along and puts his chair right next to his when he has the whole FREAKING beach area to choose from but no, it HAS to be right NEXT to the other guy!

Well, this middle aged-weird assed man HAD to pick a treadmill right NEXT to e when he has 18 others to choose from!

Freakin' @ss-hole!!!!

I voted people that do not rerack their own weights. But this poll is very similar to my original thread "Universal Gym Rules". Check it out: Universal Gym Rules - It's about Time

Hi Oceangurl - luv yer handle...

I use to do 40-60 minutes of cardio on an empty stomach as well as 45 minutes of weight training immediately after. Never got to the proverbial "wall" which I believed to be a myth. Unless you are really in a severe caloric intake deficit (more than 500 per day) there is lots of glycogen in the muscle tissue sufficient to sustain us for much longer than even this. I stopped doing this though since I was overtraining and it was reducing my growth results and knocking me out to the point I neded to take a few hours of sleep to recover.

People who stare

For me personally this drives me INSANE! I cannot stand people staring I absolutely hate it. And no matter where I go it seems people just like to stare, nothing makes me more crazy. I feel like I am always attracting gay guys, lol.

Ha ha, Queer Bait!


I hate when I'm working on a set and my dog comes over and starts licking the sweat off of my leg. That's about as bad as it get's when you have a home gym.

Yeah, I hate it when people stare at me when I walk into the gym and have my damn shirt inside out with the tag's showing and all and I am unshaved and still half ass asleep...
