hopefully not in that order

i think those are called hip thrusts

I tend to go pretty slow on the negative to really feel my muscles stretch and a little bit faster on the positive. I have been working some super slow sets of 16 second reps (8 up, 8 down) in on the last set of each exercise. You wouldn't believe how hard it gets when you take all the...

my gym sux in the morning if you want to get anything done. the blue hairs moan and complain about coming for 2 years and still being overweight while they watch people on the treadmills and since I work there and have to take their blood pressure, they bitch at me if its higher than it should...

I don't think Dorian Yates is a great example. Sure, he was friggin' enormous, but he also, if I remember correctly, was famous for one set, very high intensity training, and also famous, I believe, for tearing muscles and tendons due to his training. I think. I agree with gopro, anyone with...

this has possible been beaten to death, but..... What are all of your goals for lifting weights, bb, etc.? I just realized the other day that I was lifting in the same manner for quite some time and kind of realized that I don't want to be much bigger than I am right now, not that I'm huge, or...

TSB droppin' by? the only problem I ever have with the neoprene pouch thing is when I'm doing squats and I have to wear the damn thing over my weight belt. and then yesterday in the middle of a set of squats, at like rep 3 or 4, my f'in headphones fell off, but I do love the pouch for cardio (...

thanx gopro, I sometimes get tired of seeing this person or that person saying "the way I lift is the best, the only way, WHOOOOOOO!" like some closed minded trained rabbit, or something like that

the gym I work at is owned by a hospital. we have a cardiac rehab and physical therapy attached to it. we also have quite a few older individuals that workout every morning, whether they started in cadiac rehab from a heart attack, bypass or whatever, or are just interested in exercise. MANY...

first time I have seen anterior tibs addressed here. I will usually do a couple sets of weighted dorsiflexion (weighted toe raises) per week two help keep away shin splints. another common problem with shin splints is having really tight calves, so make sure to stretch them. gopro failed to...

no progressive overload necessary for hypertrophy

really? I have never heard anything like that. Interesting......learn something new

The problem with ass to the floor is that is puts a ton of stress on the knees. If you have any knee problem, I would advise you not to go past parallel.

alot of fitness magazines have those ads in the middle, well actually most of the magazine is ads, anyhoo, ads that sell equipment and I noticed one that had a 300lb. set of just weights, $99.

the mistake alot of people make is that they bend forward like touching their toes rather than keeping their back straight, like gopro said, and lettting their butt go straight back, can't go as low, but your hams will thank you, or burn like hell the next day. I did them wrong for some time...

$53/ month, but since I work there, $0.00

GO BEARS!!!!! I'm live about 20 minutes from Chicago (needless to say I'm a fan) and my girlfriend and I had just got to the Blackhawks game just in time to see the last 2 minutes of the game and overtime. The entire crowd at the United Center went nuts, not to mention we saw an awesome game...

I also read a study that said that regardless of diet, cardio can inhibit strength gains

sometimes I get a little light headed when going really heavy. Most of the time its bc I don't breathe as properly when focused on the heavy weight

thanx, I didn't really make the connection. My legs really don't feel all that much from squats, more from leg press, and I can handle about 2.5 times the weight with leg press, BRING OUT YOUR DEADS! thanx game, scotty
