why I worked out in my basement for 9 years. Fuckin' New Years resolution douche bags! I was pretty excited my new gym was open today for 5 hours so went to get a workout in. The free weight area was completely full and I didn't see a single person do a full range of motion rep the whole time...

I do a fair amount of traveling for work but a lot of it is driving. I fly occasionally and I'm on a trip this week. I brought a blender bottle in my suitcase full of whey, powdered milk, etc. for after a workout. I checked the bag and the TSA picked my bag to search. They opened the shaker and...

I know this is cheesy but I like to change up my music in the gym a lot so like ideas from other people.

I posted this at WCBB too but wanted to get other views. My son will turn 12 in January and has expressed interest in some of the weight machines and really likes the treadmills. During PE at his school they have done a few weight sessions. Any opinions on starting this young? I don't feel it...

I did a little stretching after getting home from the gym today. My back has been hurting a little so I broke out the hard foam roller. I rolled from my neck to my lower back and it feels great now. It is a 6" and I do legs front and back with it too. What is everyone's experience with a...

I really need to get back at this. I have a few stretches for upper and low body. What do you suggest for stretching? Any sites that give a good set to do for weightlifting?

I thought this was funny. It isn't intended to be a political statement. Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel(Just the poem): Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table, At which he's fed. Tax his tractor, Tax his mule, Teach him taxes Are the rule. Tax his work, Tax his pay...

My blood pressure was jumping up as high as 150/96 and my doctor put me on meds a few years ago. I'm up to 20mg Lisinopril(started at 10mg) and 150mg Spironolactone. I just donated a pint today(up to 16 pints now BTW) and my BP was 114/86 with a big cuff. Is it weird that the systolic is...

Most of my business travel has been a night maybe two away from home. I have probably a full week coming up. Any suggestions for eating on the road while trying to cut? For an one night trip I just usually pick something decent at a restaurant and forget it. My room will have a refrigerator and...

I'll apologize in advance for gushing about my son. My son will be 12 in January. A few years ago he was diagnosed with Asperger's and ADHD on top of it. He is a great kid but has always had a problem socializing and has failed at all sports. He just isn't the sportsman type and can't...

I had a pretty long break from the weightroom. I started back a few weeks ago and right off the bat my right elbow started hurting with curls. Hammers are okay but even with an EZ curl bar and my hands turned in a little it hurts pretty bad. Any suggestions? Any therapy I could do at home?

I started out at the Jr High gym, went to the High School Gym, and then to the small little College Gym. It was always free weights, sweat, and testosterone. After that, I built a home gym in my basement with a power rack, bench, mats, dumbells, and several hundred pounds of plates. I don't...

You can't always lift/eat/sleep so does anyone read? :) I have at least an hour commute each way to/from work so listen to audio books in my car. Might sound nerdy but listening to A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin right now. HBO series for the first book was pretty good. The books...

Got referred over here by the little pumpkin Darkness. :) Site looks real nice and busy too. Been working out off and on for 28 years. Unfortunately I have been off for about 8 months and need to get my ass back in gear.
