    Knee cap tracking, cracking, & squats / deadlifts

    I had absolutely no sounds in my knees while squatting or anything else until I tore my meniscus. Now it clicks, doesn't hurt and isn't ever inflamed, there's no impingement in my movement at all, but I know for a fact that's my issue and it'll probably re-tear at some point in the future (such...

    Trying too hard to avoid 'bad' dates?

    See, now that you've questioned it, I don't know what to think. Maybe I should revive my old pick-up lines. "Let's go back to your place, I'll put my 'slug' in your 'shell' and we'll have a 'snail' of a time ;)"

    Trying too hard to avoid 'bad' dates?

    There's something about a grown man skipping that's really hard for women to get over. No idea what it could be.

    HAve you ever met anyone you have instantly fallen for?

    I'm a disgusting romantic. I can look back on the night I met my wife and think that right there and then I was so into her, I obviously must've fallen for her right away. When I really think about it, though, it took her months to make me comfortable with her. After x amount of shitty...

    Bodybuilding Virgin: If you knew then what you know now...

    Over/unders. Never would've bothered. I'm not lifting heavily enough to warrant O/U on my deadlift, but my grip strength was garbage and I had no idea how to correct it. Little did I know a simple white-knuckle overgrip with a short hold at the top of any of my lifts <80-85% of my 1RM would...

    Trying too hard to avoid 'bad' dates?

    1) Emergency "wedding ring," slip it on... she'll either bolt, chew you out, or stay... which is clear indication she's DTF, and you needn't feel bad. 2) Emergency "STD panel," "Sweet, before we go, just gotta make a phonecall real quick." Walk outside with her, where it's quiet, pick up phone...

    Post a bodybuilding pic.

    According to Wikipedia he's 188cm, so around 6'2 yeah. Trust that as you will :P I read the New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding and watched Pumping Iron when I really first began training (ever, this was like the turn of the millennium) and was just amazed by what went into it. It actually...

    Post up what you are eating

    Oatmeal (made with soy milk) + strawberry protein powder + 1tbsp almond butter = my second breakfast. First time using the strawberry stuff (I usually go with vanilla or 'dairy'), and at first I thought it tasted delicious. Then I thought it tasted alright. Now I'm thinking it's sickly, maybe I...

    Post a bodybuilding pic.

    It always amazed me, looking at pics like this of Ahhnold, how TALL he looks. He isn't short, by any means (around my height, actually), but he looks like a friggin' giant sometimes. I think his physique made him look even taller, somehow. To me he's always looked like the physical embodiment...

    New York installs "Adult Playgrounds"

    We have a lot of these dotted around the place in the US. It actually started a good decade or so ago with guys doing 'ghetto fitness' or 'ghetto workouts' in places like Houston because they needed to get fit but didn't have the cash to build or join a gym (coincidentally a lot of guys that...

    Inspirational Body Transformations

    Not a gul, and I don't care, but Robert Gill did an amazing job of transforming his body... and all without ever stepping into a gym. I think for the layman and anyone else without even a shred of interest in joining a gym, this guy is a huge inspiration. Before or After Yourself Love of...

    The power of RAW!!

    I'd actually eat tendons on a regular basis if I could get them here, lol. Also marrow, and all of that stuff. My mom is Italian and my wife is German, plus I've traveled a lot and my stomach is made of steel, so I've tried a lot of stuff most others wouldn't have, heh.

    SynthLOL

    Actually had the first guy as my Facebook profile photo for a while. Heh. The thing with this guy is that he at least gets some of the basics of anatomy correct. These other guys just blow up portions of their arms with no regard to how anatomically correct it looks. The guy with the massive...

    muscle ups

    I can do 3 of these, unassisted, on a good day. I found that my grip was extremely important. I wasn't starting off with a 'false' grip and found that I lost all of my momentum trying to roll my hands over the bar. Never tried on rings, but with rings the 'false' grip would be a prerequisite...

    Gonna make you all sick. Breakfast. Plus dog. I won't eat the dog.

    Your Daily Protein Intake

    Hahaha. I think that's probably why I can eat it; it doesn't taste of anything much, so it takes up the flavor of whatever you cook it with. She can & does eat it just plain grilled... nah brah, that ain't for me.

    Your Daily Protein Intake

    I probably get "too much," though I don't measure it out. My wife cooks most of our meals, and she's a vegetarian, so 9 times out of 10 I'm getting tofu/seitan/tempeh as well as some type of lentils or beans... and then I'll go add some chicken/turkey, some tuna/salmon/shrimp/etc. or some...

    polycystic ovarian syndrome

    I know a couple of girls with PCOS (one lost over 60kgs, so it IS entirely possible, even though each case is different) who have lost weight and completely recompositioned their bodies. One of the worst things with PCOS is insulin resistance, which means nutrition is doubly important for women...

    7 year old boy does 4,000 pushups

    Haha. I did 4,000 pushups when I was 7. I finished when I was 21.

    Powerlifting/Weightlifting Gyms/Clubs in Brisbane

    For me, it's not just about equipment & cost. I can train in any gym, but as someone else mentioned (and the reason I asked about environment at the gym I found whilst Googling) the support network where I'm training is key. Since I got out of the military I've trained largely on my own, and...
