    ADVICE FROM A PRO PLEASE!!!

    Your anxiety is a good sign, it means you're taking things seriously. Always remember that you only have one body, so being careful is the prudent thing to do......Keep in mind that even avid users of steroids only use them in cycles, they take them for a certain period of time, then don't take...

    Advice needed

    You don't explain what kind of lifting you do. Do you lift heavy weights? If you regularly lift relatively light weights,it's going to be much harder for you to gain size. Personally, I usually lift heavy enough weights that I can only manage 8-10 reps before its too hard to do another.

    ADVICE FROM A PRO PLEASE!!!

    I am by no means a pro. Having said that, here are my thoughts.....Personally, I'm not a steroid user, and never have been. I'm not convinced that for what you're trying to do, steroids are the right answer. HOWEVER, if you are going to use them, it is imperative that you do research, and figure...

    Article: The Planet Fitness Nightmare

    Maybe they wanted to warn anyone that reads this forum and was considering joining Planet Fitness.. Personally, if I was considering joining a gym I would appreciate being warned that Planet Fitness wasn't the kind of place that would meet my needs.

    The Blacklist- Terms/Conditions

    Some people just have no class. What they're doing is no better than the beggars that stand in the middle of the road with the "Will work for food" signs, when in reality they don't want to work, they just want people to give them money.

    The Blacklist- Terms/Conditions

    I agree, it seems so obvious, and yet I see that some people seem to have huge issues understanding the rather simple deal that was made. They just want free stuff.....

    The Blacklist- Terms/Conditions

    You make a good point, one that I agree with. The merchandise isn't really free, it is given without charge in return for writing a review and perhaps a log. Therefore when the company follows through on their end of the deal and sends the merchandise, the person who received the merchandise...

    The Blacklist- Terms/Conditions

    I think this thread is a good idea. When a company sends you free product and merely asks that you write a log and give your honest opinion, the least you can do is follow through and write the log. If you don't want to do it, don't take the free merchandise.

    New member! Advice

    You've got that right! There are days its tougher to stay on schedule, on those days I tell myself I'll feel so much better once I start lifting. And invariably once I get started I don't want to stop. Lifting makes me feel good, its almost like a drug.......

    My recommendation is to realize that fitness is a lifetime journey. Its not going to happen overnight. Watch your diet, and exercise. Good things will happen to you.

    need a little help for an amateur!

    My first thought is a general concept- Realize that dogged, consistent effort will take you far. The key is to make exercise become a habit. Get on a lifting schedule and stick to it. While the exercises you do will change, the fact that you're exercising should not. Besides injuries, there are...

    Newbie help on 5x5 routine

    I don't think overtraining will be an issue at all. In my experience, more people undertrain than overtrain.

    Can one day of bad eating ruin progress

    One day of overindulging won't make you fat any more than one day of lifting weights will make you look like Lou Ferrigno......

    Douchebags at the gym...

    About a month ago I went to a place that sells all kinds of supplements. The guy that works there was trying to sell me some stuff to "Bulk up". The guy was my height, weighed 45 pounds less than me, and had biceps smaller than my wrists. My daughter was with me, and she almost laughed out loud...
