    Gym Etiquette - Weights on Bar

    Have had this question for s while. If I go to a machine, let's say a leg press, and there is a plate on each side when I start from someone else. When I am done, do I remove the plates that someone else left on before I started or just the plates I added?

    Ab workouts

    On leg day I do cardio right after. My thought is increased blood flow aides in recovery. Cardio increases blood flow. 30 minutes, low intensity and the recuperation process gets jump started. I learned that from Rich Gaspari.

    How do you measure the weight on a leg press?

    Agree. Instead of using a traditional 45 degree leg press I use a flat leg press and a sliding horizontal one. Zero back pressure.

    Is bulking without gaining fat possible?

    Zig Zag your overall caloric intake. By that I mean look at your average caloric intake per day over a 7 day period. Let's say it's 2200 on average. If you go to 3000 calories the next week your going to get fat. If you have high calorie, low calorie and mid calorie days and the overall intake...

    Quad sweep

    5'9". I HATE lunges but do them everyday. I had a complete quad tendon tear 18 months ago and lunging is the one thing that my PT suggested I do daily. Yup, heels together and toes spread.

    Quad sweep

    Hack Squats. Heels together, toes pointed out and keep the heels on the platform. Also, lift your butt off of the pad, puts all the stress on the outer quads.

    Raw oats? Am I nuts?

    Yes, a trick I learned from my buddy IFBB Pro Peter Putnam. I mix oats, water, protein powder and honey. Great mid afternoon shake.

    Preworkout[emoji1377]

    I take my pre-workout a little different. I train on an empty stomach at 6AM. I mix on scoop in 32 ounces of water and sip during my warmup. It is then about half gone and I drink the rest during my workout. Never tired, have great pumps and never any stomach aches. I use F.E.A.R. From Clinical...

    Does this bother anyone else (people removing weights from the bench you're using)

    Problem is nobody says anything. Guarantee if someone was taking the plates off of something I was using, there will be a conversation and they will think twice before doing it again.

    Eating before training?

    I train at 6AM. I do 6oz of black coffee, 4 BCAA caps and one apple. I tried eating and never felt right, always felt full.

    How do you measure the weight on a leg press?

    Simple, plates on the the sled. No one counts the sled. Also, is it the weight that matters or the workout? Sometimes 500 feels like a ton and sometimes it's just a stopping point on the way up.

    Does this bother anyone else (people removing weights from the bench you're using)

    Gym etiquette stinks right now. I am blessed to workout in one of the best gyms in the states, Powerhouse in New Haven and there is none of that. When I go to other gyms around the country I am amazed at the rudeness.

    Ab workouts

    Everyday. Warm up on bike for 15 minutes followed by 150 misc. ab reps. Then body is ready to lift and the lower back is stretched from the ab movements.

    Best joint supplement?

    Find a glucosamine/chondroitin product with MSM. You have to be consistent and patient. Best time to take is before bed. I take 4 BCAA caps before bed and find it really helps me recuperate and repair. That's me.

    Touch the chest on bench press? AND upper chest or mid chest low position.

    I touch, feels like that "tap" motivates me to drive the bar back up.

    Topic of the week: Is Overtraining BS?

    BS. If your "over-trained" your not listening to your body or being smart. If you think doing 25 sets per bodypart makes sense, then your not overtraining, your under-thinking.
