Home Lifting Gym
Hey guys, I've been lifting about a year now, and I'm feeling more and more it would be so convenient to have some basic equipment in my basement for quick workouts, instead of having to go to the gym every time I want to lift. I'm keeping my eye on craigslist for gear, but I want to keep it minimal (and not take up a ton…

Cutting questions
So I started experimenting with my first cut about three weeks ago. I was originally really skeptical since the only way I've ever lost weight really wasn't healthy. (starvation diet and running.) I've been kinda amazed to see pounds coming off. Definitely not complaining here - but I've worked for the last year to build…

Calling All Power Lifting Competitors
I'm looking at competing in my first power lifting competition in march and I have a question - How do you choose a federation? Is it bad to join a new federation that seems active? There is a federation that meets at / competes at my gym... but I know it's new, and that would probably turn some people off. I've tried to…

Just Starting Out - Tips?
So I'm finishing reading NROLFW and I really want to try their suggested meal & workout plans. I do great with things once I get in a routine, but I feel like I'm going to procrastinate starting because this is new to me and I don't want to look stupid at the gym while I'm still figuring things out. Dumb I know, but I'm…

Running - improving time / stamina?
So I started back running about a month ago, gradually built up to running about 4 miles around 5.5 to 5.7mph, but I can't seem to push myself past that for some reason. I can go at 6mph for a mile before I'm out of breath and feel like I physically *have* to slow down. Also I tend to get really tight calves and shin…

Personal Trainers
So I'm sure this topic has been talked to death on here and I missed it, but if you guys wouldn't mind weighing in I'd like some opinons. I had a free evaluation with a trainer at my gym tonight, and he introduced me to a lot of weight work, which was really what I was looking for. He said running every day I am probably…

Easy Smoothie Recipes?
I *finally* got a blender, and would love some easy, healthy, smoothie recipes. I picked up some chocolate protien powder that I'd like to encorporate in a post workout smoothie, but I would make them for breakfast as well. My main concern though is with my love of fruit my sugar intake goes through the roof. Anyways,…
