Hey dickhead, if you don’t want to use the advice I give you then fine… but you don’t have to make fun of me on a public forum and that dietician is my girlfriend and she is very smart by the way, because HER brain gets carbs. You could learn alot from her.
Is this a joke or do you all know one another?
I also wear spandex on the weekends… and by that I mean we’re friends and by friends I mean acquaintances and by that I mean I can’t stand the kid.
WTF???
I think the spandex reference means they wrestle.[/quote]
Wrestling: It’s only gay if you make eye contact. . .
When I first started working out in the gym a guy told me that since I had some “baby-fat” on my body I should be focusing on aerobics. That any muscle I did build would just slowly turn to fat again since that is where I was starting.
DOMs was something unnatural, and I must be tearing my muscles off the ligaments.
While doing dips including negatives to increase my reps, and I was obviously horizontal targeting my chest, a “trainer” at the gym decided to show me up. He brought his noodle-arm protege up to me, and said, “Hey buddy, you can get a safer tricep workout by doing those between two benches.” I let him know I was doing dips for my chest, and his response was, “Well, I can’t see how what you are doing targets the pecitorial region at all.” Pecitorial.
One of my anatomy teachers directly stated to the class that I’d end up with gout because I have a high protein diet and use creatine. He then directly stated that creatine is a very heavy amino acid.
While filling a protein shake at the gym since my workout was longer than an hour and a half long, some 120 pound guy comes up to me and says “Protein shakes are only for AFTER workout, not during”
I ignored it… and for the rest of my workout I used the anger in me to lift.

haha, that’s halarious. I usually bust out sandwiches and shit like that in the middle of my work outs. Nothing satisfys like a bench press with a tuna sandwich.
That reminds me, some guy came up and told me that I should have used steroids to get the size I am rather than lifting everyday. I honestly wanted to bust his 15 inch arms.
Reading through these was fun but this one kinda hit home:

“Don’t do curls in the squat rack.”[/quote]
No offence but wouldn?t that be bad gym etiquette? I mean, this is a toss up, if the gym is mostly empty who cares, but it drives me nuts on leg day to have to wait for someone too lazy to pick up an EZ bar off the floor to do their curls in a power/squat rack. Am I wrong?
to which i went on a five minute rant on how there is no such thing as toning
triceps kickbacks give you huge arms
(Holy shit i know!)
Instead of ranting i explained why floor presses and rack lockouts are much better[/quote]
I agree with everything except “there is no such thing as toning” I think everyone agrees that muscle tone is a real thing and that muscles can develop more or less tone i.e. “toning”. “tone” meaning shape, and residual tension in a relaxed muscle.
However, higher tension produces muscles with more tone, therefor high resistance with low volume will produce more muscle tone NOT high reps. Also, excessive muscle tone can be a bad thing as it can increase the chance of injury to a muscle.

I actually gave this advice to a couple of girlfriends: “No, baby, you should swallow. It will stop you from getting cancer of the esophagus. No, really they did a study.”
My favorite piece of advice that people give me is, sitting in the law school lounge eating my chicken and pasta. People come up and say that High protein diet is going to kill me. And then they sit down next to me with some Taco Bell or some other fast food.
Or don’t let the bench bar touch your chest and pause, its bad form; they will disqualify you in a competition. Really, what federation is that?
Don’t use a belt, it will make your weak.
Don’t work your shoulders they get enough training from benching, from a trainer at gold… God why did i listen to them…

No, your not wrong at all. The whole point is that people who go the gym arnt supposed to be lazy. I cant even imagine not picking the bar up off the groud to do a exercise like that. I would feel like a moron.
No offence to anybody here who does it, just my personal feelings.
Either way, whatever somebody can arm curl, they can EASILY deadlift off the ground.
Unless of coarse you have been trainning your biceps and nothing else but for 3 years or some stupid shit.

You are arguing SEMANTICS. Yes, it is a group of amino acids. Does this mean that no one can describe this to others as being a “heavy amino acid” in order to aid in mental visualization? No. You are nitpicking his method for no reason just to try to act like you know more. Who, out of both of you, would get the basic message across to a room full of students of varying levels of understanding? You are the type of person who would pick apart someone’s visual aids used during a discussion just to show you understand the subject…even though those aids may have benefitted most of the people listening to the presentation.
