Yeah, I heard a few stories about heart attacks while jogging too. I think it happend to one of my teachers. Not sure about 16, but when I was about 17, I was 25 lbs lighter than you and benched the same and was considered strong, though I barely worked out. I'd say 165 for you is good. (Not...

I read that lifting alot of weight could cause that, and I heard about a World's Strongest Man or two who died of a heart attack while working out. And some people have genetic heart problems that are difficult to diagnose. All that scares me.

I'd delete it myself, but it looks like there's no option for it. I actually tried searching for a previous link to that, but couldn't find one. ...found the feature

Never mind.

Yeah, read up on proper form. A friend of mine progressed to 90 pound dumbells and had to completly stop weight lifting because of joint problems. If you can't handle 20 lbs, I wonder if you're lifting the 10lbs correctly. On the other hand, if you've never even been sore, you need to work out...

I was just wondering if I'm alone with the leg raising thing. I guess it pumps blood to my upper body, but it's weird how I have the desire to raise my legs (I don't pump my legs to jerk myself up, and I keep them straight)--it's almost subconsious once I get into the higher reps--and I'm pretty...

I'm not satisfied! I want a Q and Z term too! Lets see... Quilt Basting and.... Zeppelin Pumping. Not the best, but it's now complete.

I think I was able to to 12-15 chinups in highschool just due to my natural strength and skinnyness. A few years ago, about 30 pounds heavier, I had to work up to 10, and I was only able to do them if I raised my legs as I went up. I didn't pump with my legs, but I had to keep them straight and...

I guess he could do squats with dumbells, but he'd be working out his arms a bit too. He might need to do legs and arms on the same day. It looks like they could have made that bench into a rack too. I wonder if it could be a rack if the top of the bar supports are turned around. The feet on...

Yeah, jerkin' the gherkin is the only other one I remember from that guy's list. The words in each term rhymed or started with the same letter. I doubt he made it up. I bet the entire list is on the internet somewhere.

For me, if they're not real, they might as well not be there. Big and real is the best. Small and real might be acceptable. Fake usually comes comes in last, but firmness counts too, and if real ones are too droopy, I'd assume someone with fakes used to have firmer ones then the droopy reals and...

I knew someone who could resite a term for masterbation for every letter of the alphabet. I only remember a few, such as spank the monkey. I made up one for breasts--milk fats. Atleast, I think it's original.

I heard Dr. Drew say that there is no testosterone in sperm, but levels could fluctuate according to your lifestyle. For example, act aggressively and it will rise. I don't know how well this is supported by the evidence, but I'm believing it for now. I remember hearing that people in jail have...

The mistake was made, but at this point there might be nothing he could do about it except to slow the additional loss of weight, and maybe even ease up on the exercise if he feels a lack of energy. I've heard that eating more times a day speeds your metabolism too, but personally, I would stick...

I'm not an experienced trainer, but I think the exception to "You should never lose more than 1-2lbs per week" is if you're really, really obese. The more overweight you are, the smaller a difference each pound of weight loss would mean. Well, I don't think I ever actually heard that, but it...

Well, my research is complete. I knew it wasn't really HoldDaMayo! I'm still in no rush to workout.

Reminds me of a jogger paying extra money for extra light weight running shoes. Unless you're competing, you want the workout, so why make it easier?

Since you want to build muscle mass, I think you should double or triple the weight and go down to 4-8 reps and 2-3 sets. It sounds like you prefer the slow and easy method (which is a bit contradictory to building mass), so maybe you should try 20lbs and 2 sets of as many reps as you could do...

I've seen guys do one handed chinups and guys who could hold on to a vertical bar and lift their body from the ground until it's perpendicular to the bar, and I think I've heard of people doing horizontal chin-ups in that position. Find someone who could do one handed horizontal chin-ups, and...

If you're lifting heavy weight, especially if you're snatching or jerking it, the bar might bend and the weights might bounce more if they're at the ends of a longer bar. And in the unlikely event that you're working out with a kettelbell, the lower weight will give you better leverage (Paul...
