Check out Bodybuilding.com. They have a lot of different types of lifting programs and a ton of information on lifting, nutrition, etc. I've found the site to be very helpful and continually switch up my lifting program based, in part, on the information on this site - have dropped about 12% body fat and toned up a lot.

Aww c'mon guys . . . if these clowns don't drop their weights or slam the freakin' machines so hard they are frayin' the cables - then no one will ever notice their grunting, lazy behinds . . .

Totally this . . . with the addition of the grunters who strut around doing absolutely nothing but are "set up" on 5 different benches for if and when they decide to actually DO something . . . . And . . . definitely the new year's resolutioners . . .

For me - it's the perfume and makeup wearers at 5 a.m. I totally don't get it. And the chit-chatters in my way when I'm trying to get in some serious reps. But the perfume is the worst - makes me want to gag when I'm working hard - trying to get in some deep inhales . . . okay makes me want to puke just thinking about it .…

I workout at 5:30 a.m. and the idea of getting up by 4 or 4:30 to get a "meal" in at least an hour before is NOT appealing. I tried Scivation Xtend about 2 weeks ago - basically an amino acid supplement. I love it! My husband is convinced it is just a placebo, but I really feel like it gives me more energy for my a.m.…
