Climb to Space Challenge
This is for stair master enthusiasts like me. General international consensus sets a limit for the start of space as 380,000 feet. Stair master stairs are generally 8 inches. So to reach space it is calculated (380,000 x 12)/8 which gives you 570,000 stairs. While I do 5000 to 6000 a day, everyone is different. The…

OCD & ME: Because fitness is also a frame of mind.
I am writing this because I believe their are many individuals suffering through this alone in silence due to embarrassment and fear of social persecution(not sure if that is the right word to use, but going with it anyways). I have been suffering from extreme OCD since 7 years old. It came about after suffering mental…

Dedication V.S Obsession.
Why did I write this topic. Because people are constantly approaching me now, telling me, you are obsessive, you have lost so much weight, you look fine, give it a rest and enjoy life. Or, you are getting too skinny. Well, I believe that, when people call me obsessive, It just shows that either they do not value reaching…

QUESTION: Pulley systems
Now, I am sure this has to do with torque or some such, but.....Why is the actual weight that you lift so different than the actual weight of the stacks. For instance, I do pull down floor bench, 200 pounds on both sides, for a total of 400 pounds. It feels like a total of 160, which is about right for me. Why the…

Deplating
Does anyone know how to de-plate properly? Do I just lower the weights until I can do 12 reps with last reps a strain? Need to give body a break from the heavy lifting, feeling it in my joints.

What do you watch during cardio?
I spend an hour on the stairmaster daily. However, if I have nothing to watch, forget it. Since my gym has free wifi, I stream Netflix and Funimation. Currently watching Punisher. What shows get you through a grueling cardio session. Plus, feel free to add me if you like discussing training, shows or anime.

Friends for knowledge sharing.
Looking for serious, down to earth members, to share fitness goals, styles, and information. Not looking for casual chit chat or flirtations. Sounds kind of boring, but for me, its all about the mission.

Transitioning from a young mans training mindset to a middle aged one.
Going back to the gym after a 16 month break due to illness is hard enough. But, knowing that the way you have always trained, with your current body, will not longer work, is even harder. I know how to train to gain mass, bulk, and lifting heavy, but I have to now think of how to train for a sleek body, something that is…
