    Leg press - rib pop.

    Last week I was on the leg press on the 4th set getting full ROM at the bottom of the eccentric I felt and heard a huge pop in left ribs right down the bottom end and now my ribs are pretty sore. Doc said it would most likely be muscular. The bloody noise was insane and the pop I felt internally...

    Injuries and recovery - peptides

  5. A horrible ripping sound

    The day before yesterday, I went to do some pull-ups - the kind where you grab the bar from behind, palms facing you - and as I started, there was this horrible ripping noise* from inside of the elbow of my right arm. It definitely sounded (and felt - although the pain wasn't much) as though...
  6. How Much Training Until You Get Sore

    I see people around over the years saying that you have to get sore to get bigger. Which I somewhat dis-agree with as I've gain a fair amount of muscle with rarely getting sore.

    Animal Whey Review

    This product REALLY surprised me! I've bought Gold Standard, Iso-100, supertein , and Syntha-6 in the past, but I began to have sensitive stomach towards those products somehow. I decided to try something new and so far I haven't had one bad experience drinking this protein! It mixes...
