So I'm going about my business in the gym and am on the leg press yesterday. The guys on the leg press next to me have 2 plates and a 10lb'er on each side. I've got mine loaded up. (Amazing how I can be over 5 times stronger but weight the same LOL) So, I buckle up and get all noisy like I...

This one is for the ladies, too, although I have the suspicion being a guy makes a difference. Anyone have a problem with rashes from shaving the body?... What products - cream, shaver / blade, moisturizer, etc. have you used to prevent / treat this?... ANy other strategies?... -Randy

Anyone going?... The Expo sounds pretty cool... -Randy

Remember that cheesy movie Stallone did where he was a professional arm-wrestler?... Best (maybe only good) part was when he was talking about how when he's going to compete, he turns his hat around and its like flipping a switch and he becomes a machine. When it's "go time" what do you do or...

After gettin' all pumped to train again in my home gym / studio after seeing CCapel's set-up, I get a mystery power outage. Last night, the electricity to the garage (where the gym is) and a couple of the lights in the kitchen and laundry area went out. Garage door is not gonna open either. The...

Try this: Instead of doing your normal workout for a given muscle / muscle group, try this. This is most easily done on a machine and should be done where you have a spotter, some safety bars, or an safe way to drop the weight if necessary Pick one exercise. -Find a weight you can do a 6-8...

If you could only choose between the options below, which would it be: 1.) Shredded at 5% BF all the time, but could never get over 180lb (or slightly more if you're tall). 2.) HUGE and muscular at 300lb but you could never get under ~18%BF. 3.) Neither - I'll take my genetics and do with 'em...

I'm training another trainer here in town. A great guy. Been working with him for a while. One of his clients (in the past) is madly in love with Bill Phillips and is doing his second EAS challenge thing right now. I've been in to train my buddy and Capt. EAS has been there the past 2...

Hey Guys, I'd like to hear the stories of when you've been the most sore from a workout. Ya know, when you literally can't sit on the shitter, or if you did, you ended up breaking your tailbone on the seat b/c you landed at terminal velocity. LOL Back in my H.S. days, I trained biceps once...

Wondering who does knee extensions? Who has had to shy away from them b/c they cause you knee pain (that you've noted)? If you do do them, do you rotate the leg (meaning the toes move too), to target the medialis (toes out), lateralis (toes in), both, or not at all?... -Randy

I'll put this here (and perhaps Supersport can chime in), b/c I think it may pertain to many of us who are constantly pushing the food envelope when trying to gain weight. Does anyone have experience with a colonic or colon cleanse, of any variety - from enema style to herbal / nutritional...

Just a few thoughts (returning from a recent road trip) on the atmosphere of training in gyms other than your "home" gym. Ever walk into a gym and get: -REALLY pissy women working the front desk?... Often attractive, it seems like they are so pissed at the male of the species for continuously...

Wondering what you guys have for breakfast when you're bulking up?... Lately, I've been going the wt. gainer shake plus a bagel route (~125g protein, 200g carbs). Gettin' a bit old, though. -Randy

Given that it appears (from the hype I've read - I don't trust anything the media tells us) that ephedra may be banned altogether, are you guys gonna try to stock up on the stuff?... I'm thinking now that ephedrine will start popping up on lists, like it does in Europe in countries where its...

Wonderin' how you guys think you would fair on the TV show Fear Factor. In particular, could you / would you drink / eat all the nasty stuff the put down on the show. I personally think I would kick ass. In the old days, I used to eat all sorts of shit when I was drunk. Nowadays, I'm always...

Wondering about the largest meal you've ever eaten... Among others, I've done the 72 oz steak at the Big Texan in Amarillo (anyone who's travelled the highway - interstate 4 I think - has seen the signs). You eat a 72oz steak, baked potate, nasty ass shrimp cocktail, salad and a roll in less...

If there could be only FIVE Ladies and Gents, If you could pic only 5 exercises to train the whole body, which ones would they be and why?... I'd go with (1st 3 are easy): Squats Deads Low inc. Bench Weighted Chins Leg Press calf presses -Randy

Ladies and Gents, I love these threads - post your biggest gym follies / screw up / embarrassing moment. I'll start. :) Living and studying in Germany when my German was pretty shitty. Found the local "Fitness Studio," run by a local guy who didn't take kindly to foreigners - it was kind of...

Guys and gals, Lets hear about your best workout of all time, or at least a really good / memorable one. One were you had intimate conversations with God or when you answered the question, "Who's your Daddy?!?!?" LOL We're talking those workouts when Ronnie C, if here were watching, would...

Hey Fellas (and yes, Ladies of course), 3 weeks out in these. The "real" dieting will start now. I've done a pretty good job, I think, of holding on to muscle mass while leaning out. The toughest part has been to avoid the temptation to diet as hard as I can and not do the carb-ups that I need...
