Hey guys, Next weekend I am competing in my first BJJ tournament and am looking for any advice that you may have on it. I am really nervous as I have no idea what to expect, but I have been working hard on my takedowns and basic chokes and armbars. I have never trained against females, before so...

Hey, Been a while since I was on here, as some of you know I was training hard for my National Karate fight. Well you will be glad to hear that I won :) It was worth all the hard work, and I should be back on here more now. Here is a pick of my winning point in the final (I am the one in blue):

I just wanted to say how great she looks!!!! Congratulations and well done - your hard work is really paying off. You look amazing girl. KG

So after 10 weeks of bulking, today is the start of my cutting routine. I have made some great gains while bulking and huge strength increases, but I want to fight lightweight at the Diamond Nationals (Karate tournament) so I need to cut 10lbs. Mentally I am not ready at all - I hate being in...

Hey, I have never really worried about my salt intake, most of my foods I make myself from natural sources, and I don't add salt to anything. Is there any real reason for a healthy individual to watch their salt intake other than water retention? The reason why I ask, is because somebody that...

There have been a couple of things that really pee me off at the gym recently, and so I thought I would write down my own "gym rules". It made me feel much better to get it off my chest - feel free to add as many as you wish. 1 – If I arrive with a baseball cap over my eyes and my earphones in...

Anyone out that way? I fly to San Fran tonight, and I see that there are two Gold's pretty close to each other downtown. I was just curious if anyone had been to either or both and does it matter which one I train at? Thanks :)

This is a recipe I have been making a lot recently, and I love them :) I have designed it for a low cal, low carb diet. Ingredients: Extra lean ground turkey or chicken (you can use red meats, I like to keep the cals low). 1 Jalapeño (chopped) Chopped garlic 1 Egg white (whole egg if not...

Well, I have forked up the cash and am going to be working with a personal trainer for a little bit. My plan is to bulk on about 10lbs of muscle, and drop 2% bf. I need this because I have become stuck in a rut with my current training routine, so he will shake things up with a new lifting...

Ok, I need some male advice here, and please be honest. Do boobs matter? I am sure your immediate testosterone reaction would be yes, the bigger the better, but really? When I was bigger, I used to have a great set of boobs, but now I am lean they have reduced in size somewhat drastically. Don't...

Interesting study http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4861268.stm Thinking about the way your muscles work could physically boost your strength, research suggests. A Hull University team asked 30 subjects to do biceps curls and found their muscles worked more when they focused on what the...

Following on from the BJJ thread, has anyone done or currently do isometrics and what are the advantages? I currently do at least 1-2 hours cardio a day, plus lifting, so would isometrics help me with my strength more than lifting? I am not afraid of bulking up, and my current routine is not to...

So I have just started BJJ and I love it :) However I find that my weight and strength seem to put me at a disatvantage compared to the guys. My lifting and diet routine right now are specifically tailored for sparring, and I still want to keep that as a number 1 priority, however I was...

I was at the supermarket doing my weekly shop, and the lines were really long at the checkout. So to let the time pass, I looked at what other people were buying. I realised how much of a snob I am, as in my head I was criticising everything that went through the scanner. Here's an example...
