    I just read on your profile that you live in Aliso Viejo. Small world, I grew up in Mission Viejo. I'm gonna guess you go to an LA fitness or a 24 hour fitness right next to freakin Leisure World, the freakin massive retirement home out there? I bet there are endless amounts of pruny naked old...

    Having trouble loosing weight!! help!!!

    Can you be a bit more specific? When you go to the gym, what do you do? Cardio? Weight lifting? Spin classes? Can you tell us what you eat in a regular day? Be honest, nobody is going to judge you. Also, you said it's been a month, right? Be patient- it's not going to be a dramatic change...

    What's up AM. I've been lurking around these forums for a couple years now, but I really never posted much. I just read a lot of articles and the forums for information and a good laugh from the "douchebags at the gym" thread, really. I'm starting this log here because I'm tired of losing my...

    Douchebags at the gym...

    Someone please tell me what's going on... So today I was deadlifting. Behind me, there was a group of 5 or so guys, all crowding around each other with a 95lb barbell, all trying to see who could cheat curl it the most. During my sets, I could feel them all staring at me and at one point I...

    Tattoo show and tell

    My friend got Waldo tattooed on his left butt cheek to use as a pickup line when we were younger. 60 percent of the time, it worked 10 percent of the time.

    Douchebags at the gym...

    I've used this method to clear out sections of the gym. I ate lunch one day at some Mexican restaurant with a bunch of friends to celebrate a birthday, and a few hours later I went to the gym. I was starting to feel a little uneasy in my stomach and I had a lot of gas.... Well the gym was mega...

    Conditioning.

    That sounds like pure, absolute pain in a handbasket, and I can't wait to try it.

    Douchebags at the gym...

    One time I watched a chubby little kid who couldn't have been more than 12 years old walk his dad and friends through the gym, giving them awesome advice. "You always want to do 3 sets of 8 on everything" "squats are bad for your knees unless you use the smith machine" "for really big arms you...

    Conditioning.

    I'll look into doing something like that. However I may get WAY into it and mess up my wrists, haha. I remember owning a heavy bag as a kid and I beat that thing relentlessly, but as a result my wrists paid a heavy price.

    Conditioning.

    That's what I figured. So today I did a short sprinting session on a stationary bike: I did a 5 minute warmup at a moderate resistance, keeping no less than 90rpm the whole time, then I did 5 rounds of 3 seconds of sprinting at the highest resistance, then 1 minute of recovery cycling at a...

    Conditioning.

    Thanks for the replies, guys. Regarding HIIT, I just don't want to do anything that'll compromise my actual lifting routine. For example, I did a short kettlebell/farmers carry/sprint session with a few friends one time a couple days before deadlift day, and I had a seriously hard time hitting...

    Conditioning.

    I just got through a sweet bulk period in which I gained a TON of mass, a lot of strength, and unfortunately a little bit too much fat. In addition, I'm feeling a little lethargic. I'm currently eating 4k calories per day, which has been cut down in the past few weeks from 5k calories, and I'm...

    Douchebags at the gym...

    I feel really bad sometimes when I take up a power rack for more than 30 minutes.... But I'm always doing tons of squats or rack pulls or maybe heavy shrugs, and whenever I see someone waiting on me I always hurry up and finish. But it seems like every time I do that, the mofo is ALWAYS doing curls.

    HodgeTwins pre gains vs stimaholic vs maxout

    I wouldn't buy anything from hodge twins either, I mean those dudes are hilarious and pretty jacked but I wouldn't doubt if their preworkout is just another run of the mill preworkout with some beta alanine and citrulline that promises "insane skin splitting pumps". I used stimul8 and it was...

    That's a pretty sick font to get it in too, what are you thinking about putting into your sleeve?

    Tattoo show and tell

    I have two, the first being a spartan helmet with angel wings and the quote "prepare for glory", I got it soon after I joined the military to remind me to be the best person I always can be, just in case I meet my maker earlier than I expected. The second I got about a year ago on my forearm...
