how friends don't let friends skip leg day
overheard at the gym: good friend: "right, we're doing squats" friend goes to the squat rack, turns round: "I though we're doing back??" good friend: "we are. You put the bar on your back and than you train your legs!" so good I had to share! Anyone else overheard little gems like this?

nunu's building a butt
Hello lovely ladies! I'm back! I know I have been a bad sport on these boards the last couple of mpnths but I just couldn't deal with looking at your bulking logs while I was miserably trying to cut... I failed a bit by the way... I did not make it to a six pack by summer and I'm still a bit heavier than I would like to be…

Glycosuria/ Glucosuria/ renal diabetes feeling dizzy
I have a genetic condition affecting my kidneys. My renal threshold of glucose is particularly low which basically means that my kidneys wash out a lot of glucose even if my blood glucose levels are normal. Does anyone else have this condition? Since I started working out more and looking after the amount of food I eat…

food babies
Hey girls :) I have a problem that many of you probably share and I thought I ask for opinions. Some days I'm walking around with the biggest food baby in the world! My problem is not just that it does actually look like I'm pregnant (love big winter jumpers and scarves) but I'm more annoyed by the fact that it hurts!! At…

yoga on rest days of lifting
I have been playing with the idea of integrating yoga into my weekly routine to help my mobility for a while but finally want to actually do it. I would like to add it on my rest days between my split lifting routine. But I have no clue about yoga, so I could really do with some help. What type of yoga should I do? I don't…

Fit girl problems/ gym stories
I already put this on my wall but I though I share here to get some funny stories So today, some guy asked me if I wanted help when I was setting up the bar for deadlifts (granted I probably looked a little funny cause we got a new platform with a super gripping floor and new plates that handle very differently to the old…

Please critique my routine
The background story: I'm 5'11" 155.4 lbs been training with free weights for about 6 months now, so still new. I've been following the nrol4w and would like to use the winter months for a bulk. This is going to be my first bulk and I'm not sure yet how long I will psychologically manage to do it but I'm really looking…

bench press
Alright girls after planting the bar on face this morning I've got a question. Is it just me that's struggling with these? I'm eating a lot! All my lifts go up nicely but the stupid bench press! I know my week points and what to work on (I mean apart from not putting down the bar on your face) and that's not what I'm…

Kinesis workout
I'm on holiday right now and the gym here has these fancy Kinesis resistance cable machines. I have never heard of them before and I know most of the things you can do with it you can probably do with a barbell and some plates just as well, if not better but I am intrigued... Anyone any thoughts on this? edit to add: I…

back extensions
Hello everyone! I've got a little question regarding back extensions... Or two questions for that matter. We have got these nifty bench things for BE in my gym, so I used them. But how far up/down does the padded bug on the hips have to go? Does it go further up or down the hip bones? I now did it so that my body north of…

front squat push press on a Smith machine?
I'm sorry if this question has been answered in one of the billions of threads on the FSPP. My gym doesn't have a squat rack but only the stupid Smith machine, which is generally annoying but I came to terms with it for my squats. But now I started level two and gave to do the FSPP. The first time I just used a bar and…
