    SNM, mistake in workout card #13

    I use both; and a curved barbell too. It's really no big deal. I just did 3 1RM tests, one for each barbell and one for dumbbells (I also do tri extensions on a decline bench sometimes). I just write down on the workout card which weight/bench level I will use that particular date. Although, for...

    Gone too far!

    Yikes, these are the arms of someone who died or is close to dying!!! I'm not 100% sure but I think the pic is retouched... or the lighting is bad... In any case you can notice where it's been tampered with... Look at her face (right off 1988-Like A Prayer era) and neck... they both look full...

    Using 1RM for other workouts

    Just did Supersets and calculated the weight load according to my 1RM. I used 60% and although it wasn't a breeze, it worked (with the exception of biceps... should have dropped to 55%)! Of course, I had to take a few extra seconds of rest time before each Round. I really can't believe how...

    Ryan O'Neal...disturbing...

    If I remember correctly there were rumors of some sort of abuse (incest???) during the filming of Paper Moon... IN any case.. O'Neill is definitely NOT well, what with all the physical abuse towards Fawcett.

    Warning for iPhone Users

    Thought I should let you know that Apple has released a software update for the iPhone via iTunes. I just downloaded it and it addresses the SMS issue. Chris.

    Warning for iPhone Users

    From what I understand, a hacker needs to know your phone number in order to send you an SMS with the hacking code and take control of your iPhone. Also, I read that Apple will release a software update today (Saturday) through iTines; so keep checking! I wouldn't worry about it since it isn't a...

    Meso 3, Week 5: How about a "failure" week add-on?

    Hi all! I am in my last week of the 5-month STS rotation which ends on August 1. I go on a two-week summer vacation on August 8, so that will give me about 3 weeks of doing nothing but lying around the beach... So, I was thinking of ways to cut down my "inactive" time to two weeks and came up...

    Men's Locker Room Check-in

    Hi all! Last week of STS and I'm already thinking about prolonging Meso 3 by doing one more week using 90% of 1RM and going to failure... see how that goes. What do you guys think? I go on a two week vacation on August 8 and Meso 3 ends on August 1, so that would be about 3 weeks of doing...

    Men's Locker Room Check-in

    Kevin, quit smoking will definitely let more oxygen travel through my blood... and improve my overall health. I am not sure, but I think I read someplace that smoking is bad for your Triglyceride level... I'm afraid I will have to cut out certain foods for the rest of my life, but considering...

    June 30th: My last cigarette!!!

    My first cigarette-free 14 hours!!!:eek::eek::eek: Woohoo!!! Haven't even thought of lighting up... what up with that? Could it be that I was not meant to be a smoker and was just smoking out of habit and not real need? I really didn't miss it this morning when I had my coffee, or when I...

    Hey True Blood fans!

    Judging from the Greek Mythology turn the show took, I don't think Maryanne (a Maenad) turns into a Minotaur (half man half bull)... Maryanne thrives on corrupting people through sex, drugs and alcocol, and probably has a Minotaur at her service... :eek: as well as a disappearing pig living in a...
