This is a bugaboo with me. People who are in danger of hurting themselves because they don't have proper form. I was looking for some simple images online for this but did not find any quality images yet that show the correct movement. Anyone have some?

No, it's not a bench press or a barbell curl. It doesn't involve cables or chrome machines. You won't need a swiss ball or any other fancy gym gadgets. All you need is a good old-fashioned barbell and a flat surface. Load the bar with as much weight as you can handle and pick it up off the ground while keeping your back straight. Sounds simple enough, right? I'm talking, of course, about the undisputed king of all upper body exercises: the deadlift. If you're looking to pile as much lean muscle mass onto your frame as humanly possibly in the shortest period of time, the deadlift is your best friend in the entire world. That's the good news. The bad news is that deadlift…

How bout them Long Horn's!!! And most thought it was looking BAD early on. . . . . . . . . . . . LOL

The Long and Short of It: I've always had big arms (biceps, triceps, forearms) because of all the sports and moving furniture and whatnot. I've also got a gigantic head and a barrel chest. I haven't been measured for dress clothes in a while but I plan on getting remeasured over the weekend so I can get quantifiable numbers. Last I checked I was at 42L jacket with like a 7 1/2 hat. I also have almost no bulk or definition in my neck/shoulders/upper back region Basically I want to bulk up the shoulders/traps/upper back area so I'm not walking around like a humanoid T-Rex...thing... so if y'all got any links to detailed neck and shoulder routines I would appreciate it.

The Warm Up Prior to exercise, it is necessary to perform a warm up. The goal of this warm up should be to prime the body for exercise. An adequate warm up may improve elasticity due to blood saturation and minimize the risk of injury to the ligaments, tendons, muscles and other connective tissues. For example, a general warm up could consist of 5-10 minutes of low intensity cardiovascular exercise followed by a few dynamic warm up exercises. A more specific warm up will have more in mind. The purposes of a warm up are as follows: 1. Increase proprioception (spatial awareness) 2. Increase muscle activation (neural drive) 3. Improve coordination and joint stabilization…

I was wondering if there is anything I should eat/drink shortly after my workouts (particularly days I'm in the gym lifting). Most of the time my workouts end at 9:00 PM so something light and around 100 calories would be preferred.

We are now about to enter phase 3 of our workout. I have been working out for 8 weeks and just keep hovering 210 which I think I'm just fine with. For these last 4 weeks I really want to stress results in the gym. I'm am looking into adding a Protein/Creatine supplement just really don't know which ones would be right for me? Thanks guys for your input

so i have been working out for the past 2 months, 3 days a week, for about an hour. sometimes i switch up my routine, but for the most part i will do 30 minutes of cardio, and 30 minutes of weights. i have tried running on the treadmill and on the track and i still get shin splints. i do calf raises everyday as well. i am 5'6" 230 lbs, so im definitely overweight, so i know that has something to do with it, but also, i would think it would improve at least a little bit by now. is there anything i can do to prevent these shin splints from running? i have tried to get on a diet, and i have cut back on my portions and i try to have a small healthy snack every few hours, r…

I have just started to incorporate protein into my workout. I work at a grocery store where we sell whey protein, and different types of powders for shakes along with different types of Bars, and stuff. They only protein stuff I have tried was a Shredder Shake from Smoothie King. It was pretty good after I got over the protein after taste. I had the chocolate one if it makes a difference. I also noticed they sell a Jerky stick that is high in protein. Are the drink/shake mixes any good, and what ones do you recommend? Also what are some other good supplements that contain protein?

So I signed back up @ a gym on Monday - I've been so busy for about a year or so working out has been spotty at best. Decided to suck it up and start going again... the gym is open until 10 at night so I can manage to make it in, at least for an hour if I can pry myself away from my e-mails at night. Went pretty easy compared to what I used to do on Monday for chest and triceps and dead lifts (cardio too)... got up very sore Monday. Well, enter today... very painful to move *laughs* Thats what I get for slacking for so long. Triceps are the worst... can barely straighten my arms out, chest is pretty sore... and my lower back is surprisingly sore considering I only did 1/2…

Be cautious taking Plexus Slim and the accelerator. I had to call 911 today after my Fiancé took one serving of the Slim and the Accelerator as prescribed on the package. She experienced a floating sensation with extremely high blood pressure and a heart rate of 115 along with intense muscle spasms in the neck and face with a numbing sensation. The doctors at the ER contacted the Poison Control Center and although they haven't pin pointed what exact chemical combination is causing these reactions, they have received several hundred complaints from this product in the last few months. On a side note she has taken other diuretics like USPlabs and hydroxycut in the past wi…

Ok guys with my messed up knee I am restricted to gym pt. I need some upperbody workouts that don't depend alot on the legs for stabilization and can be done with a leg immobilizer that goes from mid calf to lower theigh. The immobilizer also has steel rods up the back side of my leg that prevents me from bending it. Any help would be appriciated. J

Okay, so I'm not the fittest of people... I cannot do a single pull-up... I cannot figure this out... what can I do to improve? I weight 198lbs now give or take a few... Am I too fat for my own muscles???lol Found this video on youtube, is it a good idea???

I'm looking for a good routine to do while I'm deployed. I was looking to do a 4 on 3 off ( running with 1 cake day). I need a good upper body/lower body routine to do. I'm looking for something realitivley easy to learn so I can just hop into it. I have full access to a gym so machines wouldn't be limiting. I'm not looking to get huge but I'd like to get fit while I'm here and continue it on to after I'm back.

This is something that I've been thinking about for the last few days. Conventional wisdom says to work out in the morning, as it will give you energy for the day. But, for as long as I can remember, workouts just make me exhausted. I'm fine right afterwards, but a few hours later all I want to do is sleep. After one workout this past week, I had to make a 45 minute drive for an appointment and I damn near fell asleep while driving. On the days that I do end up falling asleep, when I wake up I have absolutely no energy and am usually pretty bitchy (if it's possible for a guy to be bitchy ). Like I said, I've been this way for as long as I've been working out (off …

OK, so here is where I am at. I have been working out pretty steadily for 20 years, I never go more than a week or so off. I lift 3-5 days a week and cardio 3-4 times a week. I either run 4-5 miles or do something like an eliptical for an hour. I'm 6'3 and about 215 pounds, give or take, so not too much fat. My body is still in OK shape for pushing 40. I have normal aches and pains but nothing I can't get through. I don't take any medication at all, and the only supplement I use on and off is Creatine. I drink 1/2 - 1 gallon of water almost every day. I want to start pushing more endurance. I am deploying next week and one of my goals is to be able to run (jog)…

Something that has always been a peeve with me is how others act and treat me while I am in the gym. I take it very seriously, do my best not to talk to or bother anyone. I guess I only mention this because, New Year gym people suck. They over flow the parking lot (can't seem to drive either) think they can just join the gym and start working out on the machines and weights without doing any research or training act as if the gym floor is social hour forget that others are waiting for machines make over the top gratutious noises don't return weights to their proper locations don't wipe down machines or benches after they are done block machines while posing for the mi…

I needed new pair of running shoes badly. I have a high arch and neutral pronation. I tried on a few different brand shoes and bought a pair of Brooks Ghost 6. The Ghost 6 fit my arch the best and has very good comfort without excessive padding. What really set this shoe apart is the flexibility of the sole at the toe area. Flexing my foot, standing on my tip toes, there is very little resistance from the shoe. This is the first shoe that I experienced this with. I'll update in month or so after i have +40 miles on them.

Alright, so I know you guys have been wondering, "hey, what does sencheezy look like?". So I decided to upload a video via Youtube. You can see me at the link below: I'm after 15 seconds in

Hi, I have decided to start working out since I pretty much have a set schedule for work and school and can be consistent on a workout schedule, and I feel more motivated to do so. My main goal is really to put on weight, I'm not worried about being super ripped but just want to get bigger. I am ~145 right now and would like to get up to 165-170 eventually. Can anyone help me with tips or advice? I used to work out in high school but that was a while ago, and I only worked out for speed and strength (football), but don't remember much, but I still know my form will be fine.

November of 2012 I was fed up with my inactive lifestyle. I was drinking a case of beer a week and over eating at every meal. I decided I was going to start to run again as well as do mild weight training and put more thought into my diet. I also registered for a Warrior Dash that was in August 2013. This would help motivate me to make a change. My goal was to be able to run this in a decent time. A few weeks into my running and my knees were in constant pain. A soreness that bothered me all day every day. February 2013 I was diagnosed with degenerative joint disease in my knees. I supplemented my diet with Fish Oils and Glucosamine Chondroitin. After a couple months thes…

With the new year i know the gym is about to be packed with a slew of people trying to get back into the gym. Its a good thing, but the key is to stay motivated and not lose track of your goals. I've far surpassed my expectations in the gym and find it hard to focus these days and wonder what is the point. But i still drag myself in after an 8hr day and find friends ive met along the way to boost me through whatever i may be doing that day. So for all the rejuvenated gym goers heres a list of things that may help you stay on track. 1.Friends or network of people you frequent at the gym 2.Music 3.Some sort of tracking -if you run i would suggest the Iphone nike+ app(Music …
