    neck injury...don't want to stop training

    Hey guys, I've had this neck pain (back of neck, right side) for years. A couple times -- including recently -- I've aggravated the pain to the point where I could barely turn my head. :dunno: So while I'm recovering, I've stopped doing my normal workout routine. No barbell work -- shoulder...

    Iron Gym?

    I bought one a few weeks ago and love it! No damage to the door frames, which is something I worried about. I feel like the design pushes into the side frames, so it's not like all the weight is pulling down in the top frame. I only weigh about 155, but up to 200 lbs should be fine.

    pull-up bar for the home...will it hold up?

    Hey dudes, I'm thinking of getting a chin-up bar that you install in the doorway. However, I feel like it's going to put too much pressure on the door frame or something. I just don't feel too confident about it holding up and not causing damage. (I only weigh about 150, btw.) Does anyone have...

    why is it so hard to get enough protein?

    forgot to mention... I am taking a daily multivitamin, and I'm also taking creatine. I started off with GNC; then took Musletech Nitrotech Celltech :P for a couple months, but it had no effect; now I'm back to GNC brand.

    why is it so hard to get enough protein?

    futurepilot, ROFL :laugh: MrBigPR, I'm male. I can't drink normal milk due to lactose intolerance, hence the soymilk. :( I'll see if I can get in another shake on some days, though, as this would be a nice boost. It's just that protein powder gets to be expensive (currently using GNC Wheybolic...

    why is it so hard to get enough protein?

    Hello, Well, I'm happy with my workouts lately. I've been doing compound exercises like bench press, squats, shoulder press, and deadlifts, along with ab work. I've also gotten my weight up to 150 lbs. Now, I decided to finally keep track of my protein intake to see if I was getting enough...

    started doing compound exercises...

    I've been reading lately that compound exercises are a good way to build mass for beginners (such as Rippetoe workout), so I've been doing bench press, squats, deadlifts, and barbell overhead press. However, I do sneak in some isolation exercises like concentration curls. Anyway, I have a few...

    Favorite "easy" Meals/Foods

    Instead of rice, look into quinoa for a change of pace. Sorry I can't post links, but look up quinoa on Google to learn about its benefits. You can cook it pretty much the same as rice. Also, legumes are good. A can of Bush's Beans is a simple addition to any meal. Just open the can and warm up...

    trying to bulk up, but weight goes to belly, butt, and chest

    Well, I feel like it's fat. And I also feel like my back arches in too much, further giving the appearance that my belly and butt protrude further than they should. Who knows, maybe I'll post a pic later. Although my biceps/triceps have improved since I've been lifting, my arms have always been...

    my current diet

    Hey guys, Thanks for the Nutraplanet reference. Saved it to my Favorites. Also, regarding the eggs, I just had this impression that eating too many was basically unhealthy (cholesterol?). I eat fried eggs, but we try to use olive oil. I also like the yolk, so I don't avoid it. So anyway...

    trying to bulk up, but weight goes to belly, butt, and chest

    Hello, I'm 5'9" and about 148 lbs. now. I started working out about a year and a half ago. I changed my diet by cutting down on junk food, pizza, and soda, and started eating healthier. I also jogged 1 or 2 miles a week during nicer weather, but the winter here is too harsh for any outdoor...

    my current workout routine

    I currently try to lift weights 3 days a week. I used to do 4 days, but I was getting worn out and I'm busy with my job and long drive. My workout consists of several exercises. I try to do a whole body workout, so I'll do one exercise for biceps, one for triceps, one for shoulders, one for...

    my current diet

    Hello, I'm trying to gain some weight to build muscle. I found that quinoa is a good source of protein; it's a "pseudograin" that's supposedly a complete protein. My current diet is as follows: For breakfast, I try to have an egg everyday, along with a bowl of oatmeal (or cream of wheat) and...
