    Pervs in the Gym

    I would be offended if people weren't checking me out! WTF am I wasting my time for? People want to get into shape and weight train for one reason really (about 95% of us anyway) to look good! If I were just trying to get fit I would only need 3 days a week of cardio. I like being checked out...

    [Article] Bodybuilding Exercise:Legs, Hips and Glutes

    I'm still hating doing legs, although not as much. Squats make me want to vomit as well, and I'm only squatting with 60kgs on my shoulders. My knees make sounds like Velcro! Dead lifts kick arse! I enjoy them. Again I'm only dead lifting 60kgs as that's all I have to work with. (I'm planning...

    Is juice just as bad as soda/cool drink/soft drink?

    Juice can have a much higher kilojoule content than soft drink, but it also contains more nutients..... where as the nutritional value of soft drink is what,..... stuff all? Youre better off eating the fruit. An apple contains about 100cals. How many apples does it take to make a glass of...

    How much sugar should I have per day?

    I don't add any sugar to my food. Most food has its own sweet flavors. Even milk in coffee is sweet enough for me. (I took a sip of my Partners coffee with 2 sugars in it and almost gagged at how sweet it was.) If you want your sugar fix, eat it before and/or after a weight training session...

    How much sugar should I have per day?

    Dried fruit can be quite "calor-riffic" as I like to call it. Especially if its coated in vegetable oils. Generic mixed dried fruit is about 13.7 kj per gram. It adds up VERY quickly. Carbohydrates are sugar as well, just in a different form. It only take salivia to make the change from carbs to...

    Exercise during pregnancy

    My 6month preggers partner goes to the hospital a few days a week for the water aerobics. She reckons it kicks her arse and she is comfortable as it is women only. Being surounded by other pregnant women makes her feel at ease. She used to weight train with me, I miss the company... :( A...

    Bloody Sore

    I have a couple of.... I think theyre meant to be bike hooks or something.... hanging from the ceiling of the shed where I work out. I do chin-ups on those as a part of my bicep workout. I hold them in a hammer position with my wrists facing each other. Theyre about shoulder width apart. I used...

    Bloody Sore

    Yeah, I know. I have limited weight training equipment. I have an adjustable bench, a couple of dumbbells, a barbell and about 60kgs of plates. What would you recommend? My partner sometimes comes out to talk to me during a training session and is already impressed with my back. I guess I...

    I have troubles working my legs

    I have troubles working my legs. Ive been running since I was 16 years old (Im 32 now) and Squats create a bubbly, creaking sound..... a mix of bubble wrap and velcro.... in my knees. I dont feel it, but the sound is enough to put me off unless I have music up loud enough not to hear it. Working...

    Do pushups/pullups make muscles bigger or just strengthen?

    I spend a full work out session on my pecs. I start with a warm-up set of 35 push-ups, then 2 more sets of 25. From there I go into 3 sets of bench, 3 sets of incline, 3 sets of incline dumbell flys. I feel like the push-ups are working a bit of a range as the angle shifts slightly during the...
