Quad pics
When guys pull their shorts up to show off their quads it looks silly- I just can't take those pics seriously. Guys- wear tight shorts or boxer briefs and show 'em off- that's hot, but for goodness sake stop pulling your baggy shorts up - you look like you are wearing a diaper, which is probably not the look you were going…

Forearm pain from deadlifts.
I am really getting into my lifting, and I dig it when my trainer throws on more weight, but I am frustrated that after my first set my forearms start to crap out and then I start to loose grip.
