... should be no problem at all for someone with social anxiety disorder...

I seldom win personality contests lol.... also chronically single!

if it was SIZE then I'd be with you. title choice is probably an extension of the man's personality lol. think 'jazzer-CIZE' lol. he's actually a kick *kitten* trainer IMO

I've reluctantly accepted that knee going beyond the toe doesn't equal the end of the world lol. My thoughts on that, and going bellow parallel, are that they are not going to cause damage on their own, but poor form is potentially more dangerous while in that portion of the movement.

pretty sure its not a mass building program my friend. who doesn't like Tonya?

idk everybody likes what they like I guess. crossfit girls are hot as hell. Bodybuilding girls that have been taking too much test are not maybe that's comparing apples and oranges

probably also worth pointing out that there is a drastic difference in body mechanics of a smith machine squat and a free weight squat. I have to put my feet considerably far forward in the smith machine in order to be in a position to squat low and still have balance. maybe just baring in mind that you aren't going to be…

can just use a broom stick at home for a week or two just to get the form down.

be smart about your extra circular lifting. I guess I'm really saying, if you do p90x chest on Mondays, don't do chest in the gym on Tuesday. just make sure you give muscle groups a rest

if you really have the disorder, then I'm not sure there are really any 'tips' that are going to make you truly comfortable. I think the take away from the martial arts story is that you simply (poor choice of words) have to overcome the pathology, everyday

I've got it pretty bad myself. even going to my friends house whom I've known for more then 15 yrs causes a lot of anxiety. for the most part, the gym doesn't really bother me tho, I guess because crowds don't really bother me, I just hate it when there is an expectation to be social. since most people seem to be happy to…

I wouldn't necessarily say the are 100% synonymous. strength training would be specifically focusing on getting stronger while weight training is a more generic term... for instance one can workout with weights and be weight training but doing higher reps and focusing more on calorie burn without any real concern for…

yes it is. solid food is best measured by weight, not volume because its irregularly shaped. fill a cup with cheerios, and there is a lot of empty space. so its not a valid measure. so your better off going by mass. liquids conform to the shape of their container, 100% occupying the volume. so its more appropriate to…

how long are those average workouts?

I agree with this. add to that the fact that your going to burn more calories recovering from the workout then you would a typical cardio workout and its a decent calorie burn

well for one thing the sled is on an angle so your not really pressing 200. try putting 200 lbs on your shoulders and you'll see the difference right away. on the surface they appear very similar or nearly identical. the squat, to an extent, engages everything under the barbell. works your core pretty well. the same can be…

too bad that's a power rack and NOT a squat rack

personally I feel that push ups do a much better job of working my whole chest and I tend to 'feel the burn' more unilaterally throughout the muscle. but if you're looking to put mass on, 'feeling a burn' isn't exactly necessary

are you male or female? my thoughts are that if you were really between 8-10 % bf, then you'd have little or no motivation to get some device that tracked your bf % even for a guy, 7% is flirting with unhealthy. if your at like 5% body fat, then the only fat you have left is whats lining your organs and losing that would…

^^ pretty much everything else I can see a point it. the weight is right where you want it for shrugs or curls or whatever. pulling a bench to a squat rack when there are perfectly good bench presses available makes no sense at all. are they trying to be pains in the *kitten*?

did you hear about the day care employees that just went behind a curtain while on the job to medicate themselves with their prescription? they had to make a separate law to make that illegal. http://www.oregonlive.com/kiddo/index.ssf/2015/01/state_bans_child_care_provider.html symptoms of the half-assery surrounding state…

could also plan your meals around your... dosing schedule, eating either before or after, which ever suits you more.

I second that. I (unfortunately) store way more fat in my chest then any man has business doing. So I actually start seeing definition in my abs when, by other standards, I'm still kinda out of shape.

absolutely. I guess i'll use all those greek statues as evidence. I mean, maybe they were doing a lot of compound lifts with barbells back then, but I think not. this is a phenomenal progressive program. no weights but you'd need something to hang from (eventually) http://www.equationsheets.com/LegendaryAbs.pdf

20 min doesn't seem crazy, but bothering to drag a bench to a squat rack when there are bench presses open is pretty asinine

this is off topic but I've used it for years. I'm a big proponent of making it perfectly legal, but I really don't see any legitimate medical use for it, other then to increase appetite in cancer patients... or any other group that has difficulty consuming adequate nutrition due to some medical reason.

my solution is to smoke another bowl. curious to know what ails you lol. My understanding is, you go to a clinic, and someone who presumably is an MD charges you 100 bucks for a 6 months prescription (aka license) and 200 for a year.

are people saying their clothes still stink after they wash them? never had that problem. supposedly sticking things in the freezer will kill odor causing bacteria, at least that was one recommendation from a denim company as to how to make jeans last longer (freeze them instead of wash them)... obviously you'd still want…

tits

but I'm also definitely down with this lol
