  1. Morning training?

    Just got a new job where I work 8 to 8 most of the week so I've been hitting the gym at 5am. It's gonna take some getting used to...
  2. Help with chest

    I've seen decent growth from using really slow negatives, holding about an inch off my chest and then exploding to the beginning position. This works well with both flat and incline bench. Also what owlicks said, working upper chest helped me a lot too. I saw serious gains after I incorporated...
  3. What's more annoying?

  4. Tweaked ss Routine

    ^ all good advice!
  5. What's more annoying?

    I don't think that most people realize how terribly they treat the equipment. Or they just don't care... Holding back the urge to let people know that they aren't the only ones that have to use the equipment is a daily struggle. I try to treat all the stuff like it's mine and it gets to me when...
  6. Critique This Please

    These are all great suggestions but if you find that you're still struggling to see growth I would suggest adding a day where you just do arms and work them HARD. I got to the point recently where my chest, shoulders and back had grown to the point that my arms looked puny. I'm a lanky guy to...
  7. What's more annoying?

    Tiny boys throwing their weights into the rack and then jumping up to make sure everyone just saw that they finished a set AND/OR slamming the machines with cables and plates between each rep. And honestly I'd say the guy who brings a cloud of axe body spray with him around the gym is pretty...
  8. Training and congestion/sinus irritation

    How long has it been since you quit smoking? I quit roughly 4 months ago. I've never had allergies in my life but after I quit smoking I've developed allergies to a variety of things. I think that once my lungs didn't have the tar covering them anymore the surfaces of my lungs and sinuses became...
  9. Need help benching

    Tate knows whats up. I added a lot to my bench because I started using the form that he suggests in his vids. I feel that form is one of my biggest obstacles and his suggestions helped a lot.
  10. Lee priest on Arms!

    Great post!
  11. Why is soy protein hated?

    Just finished a container of soy based protein powder and I'll never use it again. I tried it because it was half the price of comparably protein rich whey blends but I had a few issues... It mixed terribly and tasted awful but felt lighter in my stomach than whey blends usually do. I would...
  12. Which approach to diet?

    I've seen sample diets where people eat most, if not all, carbs in the morning and then try to stick to protien heavy foods the rest of the day and then I hear about people toating Tupperware with the same thing in it for all day meals. Are people really eating the same thing ALL DAY as long as...
  13. ZMA = nightmares?!

    Full time job + full time school = no patience or time for a cheap sup that requires potentially significant changes in diet. If the benefits were ridiculous then I would be making an effort to make it work but honestly it doesn't seem like it's worth the time to get slightly better sleep.
  14. ZMA = nightmares?!

    Odd, I wonder what the percentage is of those who used it for a sleep aid that actually got better sleep...
  15. ZMA = nightmares?!

    I know that REM sleep is where the majority of sleep occurs but If I were consistently waking stage one is often associate with hypnogagic hallucinations (seeing lights or sounds that may not actually be occuring) as well as hypnic jerks (random muscle movements). If I was groggily experiencing...
  16. ZMA = nightmares?!

    That's so strange! It's raved about as a sleep aid by various companies. I've just never had such a shockingly negative reaction to a supplement before. I guess that my being hyped up while I was trying to sleep kept me from hitting the deeper stages of sleep which kept me in the earlier stages...
