Almost without fail, women at gym do extended cardio first, then lift. Men, assuming they do both on same day, almost always lift then do cardio (supposedly better for men for lot's o' reasons). Anyway, why do dey do dat? (They ain't all blond, either.)

Phone on vibrate, and inside my (moving) elbow. That's what it feels like a couple times a day, and just a second or so of the vibrating feeling; but not every day - maybe every 3rd or 4th day, and doesn't seem to matter if I've done bi's or tri's or whatever that day. Zero pain or other...

Chicago schools are finally starting to teach practical math that these kids can use in real-world situations! (This related to my post a few days ago about the shoot-em ups here...) NAME__________________________ GANG/CREW _________________ CRIB________________________________...

Trying to save some money; and, listening a bit to folk that say BCAA's and post-workout shakes are not really needed if one eats well. FWIW, I've been doing both for the last 5-6 years; BCAA's intra-workout, and protein/creatine/L-glut/dextrose shake post workout. Going to cut out (at least)...

Only 14 dead, though. Wish they'd take aiming classes. Lo & Behold, what's in my mailbox today? My concealed-carry license! Yep; the State of Fucking Illinois issued me a concealed-carry license. Last state in the nation to issue. I now weigh about 1.7 pounds heavier. . .

Are they cannibals?

Just got out of hospital. Short of breath, big-time, for 3-4 week period, and got so bad went to doc. EKG showed Atrial Fibrillation with rapid heartbeat (at-rest heart rate of 170). Right to hospital. Meds brought down heart rate, and heart shocked back into normal rhythm. Cardio doc said...

Why a "reverse" grip I see so much, one palm facing in, other out? I was told it was for *balance*, but didn't quite understand what it does. And, if it is a good, recommended grip, should one be switching sides; right palm inward - left palm out first set, right palm outward left palm in...

I'm that old, 58-year-old guy who's only been lifting for about five years, with about 6-months down-time due to full rotator cuff tear. Loaded up bar with three plates each side today, and did three deadlift reps. 315#. Damn it felt good!

I do legs once a week. Typically front or back squats, machine leg press (I do each leg separately), farmers walk w/barbell on shoulders, and machine calf raises. Next day & a half to two days, no soreness. Then, 3-4 days of severe quad, glute, and hamstring soreness. So bad I can barely sit...

Just turned 58. Been lifting seriously for about five years; nothing much before that. I drink BCAA's during lifting, I drink protein shake w/creatine & l-glutamine after workout. In gym about four-five times a week; lift for about 1.5 hours, then at least 20 min cardio, then stretch. My...

Next time someone tells you Jesus died for your sins, tell 'em: "What? He dies???? Hey man, I was reading that book. Thanks a lot!"

Especially those high-capacity suckers; you know, those four & five quart ones.

Stubborn calf knot wouldn't roll-out; size of a golfball. Tried for months. Then, tore calf muscle right at the knot playing racquetball. On crutches for ten days, and now, six weeks later, fully healed. Foam-rolled after leg-day today. Knot is completely gone. Fuck the rollers; just tear...

Never saw such in the past few years; at least triple the newbies the last couple weeks since the new years resolution thingy. And, scary lack of regulars (maybe they're just waiting for things to get back to normal - smarter than me, for sure). Anyone else notice this in their gym?

I take a high-quality muti twice a day, once about 7 am and again about 5 pm. I *taste* the vitamins all through the day, and it ain't a pleasant taste. Not necessarily an after-taste, nor a reflux type taste; just a *taste*, and I don't like it. Tried to take with food, before food, after...

Anyone work out while high? On marijuana, coke, hydrocodone, barbs, acid? How do you like it? Do you find any problems with such? Peace, love, dope. . .

I've read a few similar threads, and wondering WHY such can't be done (or can it?). I'm recovering from surgery 5 months ago, and put on 10 lbs while dormant (my bad, I know). Back at the gym lifting and doing cardio, but have been stuck on same weight for two months straight since. Advice...

July 25th surgery. Full tear rotator cuff. I feel like a 55 year old baby; never had surgery and a bit nervous. Hope my wife is there before the anesthesia hits so she can tell me a story. . .
