i go to nysc. i think you have to find one that's comfortable for oyu...they're all different. 14th st has tons of free weights and is huge, but it's full of gay guys (could be a problem for you, could be an advantage). the one i go to in brooklyn is small, but i'm one of the only guys who...

what do we win if we get it right?

ithink everyone so far has drilled into you that you need plenty of power racks! also get a barbell shoulder press rack so guys doing shoulders don't take up those power racks that you're gonna get. and for some reason, my current gym is the first i've been to that has 35lb plates -- all...

gotta get a training log, man. write down every exercise, every weight, number of reps, sets etc. and take it with you to the gym. write down everything as you do it. you can look at what you did the previous workout and be sure you don't stagnate at the same weight/reps. also, you can look...

how? hey man. you look great, esp in that last pic. so what's the story? gear? training? diet? i'm 6'0". 165# shooting for about 200. would love to hear how you did it and how long it's taken. thanks man. looking great.

thanks man. i'm hitting everything twice a week as well. eating well, and supplementing (haven't tried muscle tech yet though) and reading everything i can. good luck in the show. give me a few years and i'll come to japan and give you a run for your money. lol

how about posting some training info? what's your workout split? I'm also 6'0" and trying to reach about 200#. What about AS -- what have you been using???? Thanks for the info. looking great, man.

both (not on the same day of course). i used to hate them. hate them. but now they'e my favorite lifts. it's good to push around that much weight still keeping in mind that they're both technical lifts. great to have a lift that you really have to think about to get right, but which you...

i'm 6'0". long limbed. only recently had the ego-check to take weight off the bar so i could hit parallel when doing squats. definitely harder as a tall guy. not only do you have further to go, but it's difficult to maintain balance during the motin because your center of gravity is higher...

here are the stats: 28 years old. 6'0". 170lbs. been training hard for about the last 18months. got the diet in shape in the last 6 months or so. getting harder from training and stronger, but not bigger. working heavy, low reps, basic compound movements. don't want to be over about 200...

hey guys. i'm hanging out, working out hard, eating lots (well, more than i used to). still skinny though... how do you know when it's time to start AS? i've noticed lots of guys who post pics and so forth getting flamed for starting AS too soon. how do you know when it's time? and how can...

looks great. looking forward to seeing your diet and workout routine too. i'm 6'0" and 165 (and have been forever). would love to avoid the gear if i can put on as much weight as you naturally. looks good.

unfair! i'm 6'0" and 165#. seems i'm doomed to be this weight forever. been working out hard and finally got my diet in place, so maybe things will pick up from here. but as for you, zuess, the gains are certainly impressive. keep it up. (and give me some of that weight if you can spare it)

thanks lewd tenant....johnny lats is right by my office, so i'll check them out. i'm leaving crunch -- too much attitude and tired of getting cruised. also, read the timeout article -- it's funny. all the info on different classes you can take and which yoga-pilates-elliptical treadmill thing...

decent price? in new york?! ha! sort of have to rule out price i think. so that leaves good equipment, decent people, and gear flowing free and easy!! any ideas?
