I just went pants shopping this weekend. BRUTAL! I can still pull off a 32'' waist, but I now need a 34-36 for my ass and thighs. I've always worn Structure/Express pants; they've always been good to guys with junk in the trunk:) Even so, I couldn't get half the 34's over my thighs. What do...

My gym has free fitness assessments every 8 weeks. They measure height, weight, strength, max VO2, flexibility, and BF%. They give you a printout to compare with your previous #'s, which is pretty cool. Anyhow, I've been bulking for the past 2 months. According to the assessment, I've gained...

When my gf and I joined our gym, we were looking for some guidance and instruction. We watched the trainers for a couple weeks to see how they worked before we approached one of them. You can learn an awful lot more about them by watching than you can by talking to them. When you sit down to...

That would be cool to have a gym like that, but what would you watch for laughs in between sets? PR on Romanian Deads today; 280x6.

Props, man. I'm right about where you are. 300 is just around the corner.

I can't seem to get out of the gym in less than an hour and a half lately. I keep up a pretty good clip in my workout, but no matter how I try to move things along, I still seem to take about an hour and a half or so to finish. Here's a sample day---quads & shoulders: 5 sets of squats 4 sets...

I have the same problem. I do hams/traps on saturdays, and if I miss a workout, that's the one I miss. I try and do an abbreviated workout on my next day at the gym, after my scheduled workout. I just skip cardio that day, and dedicate that 1/2 hour to the workout I missed.

I make something similar, but with 1/2 cup of red wine and some sliced mushrooms added to it. I don't like eating mushrooms, but they add a nice flavor to the sauce.

The original Connie's pizza is down on the south side in Bridgeport by Archer and Halsted. FANTASTIC pie. My favorite. Lou Malnotti's (sp?) has a few restaurants here and there. Good pizza, a little too much sauce for my tastes, but you can always scrape some extra off. A lot of times, the...

Makedah, we started off at the same # of reps (around 10-12 for 3-4 sets) to build muscular endurance. After a month of that, our trainer started dropping my reps to help build mass. I want to get sorta swole, and she wants to be lean and toned, so she's staying with the higher reps.

To make a long story as short as possible, my gf and I quit smoking for New Years. It was a tough first couple weeks, but now we're both going on 7 mos. smoke free. In April we joined a gym, hoping to lose the quit smoking lbs. We got hooked up with a swole trainer, and have replaced a very bad...

I had the same thing happen to me a couple months ago. I was like 160/100. It freaked me out, so the next time I went to the doc I asked him about it. He told me that you should be sitting down/relaxed for 10-15 minutes before taking your bp. Just walking into the store raises it quite a bit...
