    Vest + Tie + Jeans? Yay or nay?

    I've got a birthday party coming up which is semi-formal. (The location will be a casual but fairly trendy bar/charcuterie) Normally my go to would be a nice shirt and tie with a vest instead of a suit jacket, because A: For my height and build vests are extremely flattering B: If I'm going...

    Can I Get In Decent Shape WITHOUT...

    I suppose you could give TRX a try too. I never really tried it out, except for a few abs classes, but as a strength training method people seem to like it.

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    I can see that. Don't doubt it at all. HOw did that work out for you in terms of recovery days between workouts?

    you know when you're an SF'er when

    I wouldn't say the the right "hates to be called the right", I think it just depends on how it is put out. Right winger, leftist, "neo con" and liberal aren't neccessarily perjorative terms, but if it gets delivered that way, the target usually objects.

    concealed carry

     Which is really ironic, considering that brass knuckles ARE actually illegal in a lot of US locations.

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    Oh no. That sucks. Those dudes are annoying. You just reminded me of ultimate fail moment. You know the skinny bastard with no muscle and a half ass work ethic, but no matter what body part he is actually supposed to be working that day, he stops every 10 minutes and checks his abs...

    How much protein do you actually need?

     +1 on that. If you really want to save on the chicken thing (and you don't care about fresh or frozen) you can go the store and get these 10 or 20 lb bags from the frozen section. Super cheap and easy. I think the FDA recommendation or protein is definitely too low. Of course this...

    Random health and exercise thoughts

     I'm going to have to disagree. High intensity stuff, HIIT especially, can require the same recovery and nutrition as the weight room. Besides the muscle aspect, HIIT can be hard on your system overall. IMHO a hardcore HIIT sprint workout can even be used as an occasional substitute for...

    Quick payoff/High Payoff fitness appearance strategies

     on another note, yeah, making it rain money in the club is a good way to get laid. Well, ok wait, not a "GOOD" way to get laid, but a way that would work. :satisfied:

    Quick payoff/High Payoff fitness appearance strategies

    I think the point is being missed here. I am not talking about skipping the hard work. Not by any means. Personally, I put in 5-6 days a week and don't half ass a thing. What I AM talking about is getting the most impact on your physical appearance. People work out for lots of different...

    Ask a Fitness Model

    I concur. A really good trainer should have no problem providing you with your own program. Not only will they plan your routine out for you, but they will be helping you to actually learn as opposed to just following them around. You might want to try looking for an independant trainer. A...

    Do you re-rack your weights when you finish with a piece of equipment?

    I see both sides of the "grunter" dude. On one hand, yes that **** is kind of annoying. Also, half the time its like somebody just wants to make a huge ass production out of it. "Look at me everybody, look at me work. WHHOOO!" That's so annoying. On the other hand, if you are just...

    Anyone ever do "negatives" on the leg press?

    Sounds pretty valid to me. You can do a negative workout for whatever want I suppose. Negatives are really good as a mass builder but single leg leg press can certainly be a mass focused excercise, so yeah, have at it.

    How many pull-ups/push-ups did you do today?

    On another note, yeah, Pavel is a ******* beast.

    How many pull-ups/push-ups did you do today?

     Yeah, I would definitely change that up if you are trying to gain size. Doing sets of less than failure several times per day is a great way to increase performance ability, but its not geared towards mass. If you want to gain mass, your best best is an 8-12 rep range and going to...
