Hey Y'all, Anyone ever experiemented with circuit training? I'm sick and tired of the usual compound sets and super-setting, and I am desparate to try something new to 1) see results and 2) keep my return to weight training interesting. Any suggestions/ideas? Thanks! Claudette

I used to have the most beautifully toned legs of anyone I knew or had ever met, but not anymore. For the past four years I've been dealing with Chronic IT-Band tendonitis and PFS, which has severely hindered me from training my legs the way I used to. First there was no running, then no...

Hey everyone. I used to have incredible legs, up until a couple of years ago after I joined the Navy and came down with chronic IT-band tendonitis and Patella Femoral Syndrome. I've been active my whole life--I once competed in roller skating, have ran and weight trained my whole life. A couple...

just thought it would be fun to see what everyone was for halloween. here are a couple of mine, but they're not the best :( i think the camera really does add 10 pounds! btw, i'm the fairy. okay, so i tried posting this, but my pic's too large. as soon as i figure out how to shrink it, i'll...

For the past 2 years, I have not been able to run because of PFS. For the past 8 months, I have not been able to do leg presses, smith squats, or weighted squats (ball-wall squats only, unweighted) because both of my knees pop like crazy. I just got an MRI done and much to the dismay of myself...

Okay, so I've been a member here for sometime now and have never had the guts to start a journal, until now. I started Atkins earlier this summer and lost 7 pounds immediately but have been at a standstill since I started lifting weights again. Right now I am at 127.5 and my goal is to be at...

Okay, so I have definitely gotten out of shape these past few months and have totally lost my motivation to start back up training again. Fortunately I am fed up with being out of shape and have made a vow to myself to start training again--only this time I want to train for a figure...

This might be a stupid question, but besides washing ball caps in the dishwasher, what's another way to get them clean? I wear my favorite hat to the gym all the time and it really needs cleaning but I don't have a dishwasher and I'm scared to ruin it. Any suggestions? Would just handwashing it...

New tricep routine, PLEASE Hey y'all! Well, I just hate looking like an idiot at the gym, but I always feel like one when I do triceps. Here's my current tricep routine followed by a list of exercises that I would like to do but I don't know what order and well, why I should do them--only that...

I doubt this goes in this thread, but I have no idea where to put it. Last night, I was studying (yes, on a Sat night!) and all of a sudden I got this sharp shooting pain in my lower left lats, which radiated to the front of my left shoulder, down the left arm. It started around 9pm and still...

I like to do the rowing machine on back day, after my workouts b/c it really feels like I'm finishing off my back routine. Is this too much, considering my back routines usually consist of all the exercises in DP's back routine--only not as heavy of course.

I just added updated my gym membership to include all the fitness and sports clubs in my area, and one of the clubs doesn't have an adductor or abductor machine. I stopped doing the abductor machine a long time ago (IT band problems), but still like the adductor machine. I'm not a fan of cable...

I cannot, for the life of me, strengthen my hamstring muscles!!! I've been doing a split leg routine (quads one day, hams and glutes the next) for a few months now and have NOT gone up in weight (for my hams) in anything but deadlifts. Before anyone makes any comments about my split leg...

I was doing a 45 degree leg press today, when I began feeling pain in my left quad. The pain felt like a burning sensation. I can't quite describe the feeling. The location of the pain was (according to my anatomy chart) in the lower right portion of the Vastus Lateralis, bordering the Vastus...

Okay, I've been doing the same routine for about 6 weeks now and it's definitely time for a change. My goals are to lose some body fat (about 10 pounds) and get stronger. Since January, I haven't been challenging myself as much as I should. Last year I experimented with strength training and got...

I used to think that the pain I felt near my wrists while lifting weights was due to weak forearms. So I worked my forearms, but the pain is still there. The pain I feel is kinda like a straining pain in under my wrists. I felt this today when doing bench dips, where my wrists were bent. I...

I just started incorporating this exercise into my routine after a trainer friend of mine worked with me on back one day and had me do this exercise. I didn't have any problems then, but for the past 2 weeks I have noticed a soreness in my shoulders after reaching a certain number of reps...

Hey y'all. I was just wondering what the females (or males, I guess :) do for your bicep routines. I'm looking to switch mine up a bit but don't know what order to do them in. Here's wat I've been doing for the past 2-3 weeks: Incline db curls supersetted with alternating db curls concentration...
