  1. I use cables for somethings, but there's just something about a bench press or a squat
  2. I see it as the same mindset that drives people to be athletes or musicians. A goal is set and whatever work is necessary is done to accomplish the goal. Some say it's obsessive, but a lot of people lack the mettle to accomplish difficult goals
  3. When my wife says the size of my muscles makes her vagina dry up like a bag of salt, I've gotten too big.
  4. Those hooks say otherwise, oh and fug a smith machine.
  5. Stretch afterwords. I'm not sure of your age, but the loss of flexibility is one of the biggest reason people 40+ hurt themselves. If you remain limber, you'll appreciate it later in life. At 36, I can still easily touch my toes.
  6. I want that guy to be my trainer. The thing that limits me is no spotter. The hooks on the bench press have probably saved my life several times.
  7. I took last week off from the gym because my knee was bugging me. I hit it today and fug, I will be sore tomorrow.
  8. If you go to myfitnesspal.com, you can adjust those macro percentages to match what you respond to better, but those are good starting points. I prefer a 60/30/20. You need to get more fats (healthy of course). You should also be able to input activities like jogging into my fitness pal. The should be something for insanity. I would go with moderate if you are moving around the house during the day.
  9. I've never had that either Jase. I spray and wipe down equipment before and after use, and stand up between reps.
  10. There is a guy at my gym who was an offensive lineman for the Falcons back in the 70's. Even at his age, he is freaking huge.
  11. Weight slamming doesn't bother me as much as not wiping off the equipment after you finish.
  12. Joscott, I don't think chicks like being called broads.
  13. I had knee surgery a couple years ago, and I had to start with doing squats with my back against a wall.
  14. As you lower the weight, Look up. It should help keep your back straight. You should also keep the weight as close to your body as possible to reduce the strain on your lower back. He needs to figure out his BMR. After that, he needs to determine his daily caloric needs. He needs to eat about 500 calories above that to build muscle. This isn't a magic number. If he starts putting on more fat than muscle, he needs to reduce it. If he's not gaining anything, he needs to eat more. What is he doing for cardio? If he's running for an hour, it might be hurting him. Compound movements like bench presses, over head presses, back rows, t-bar rows, and wide grip pull up will help with all of those, but he also needs to hit the legs. Many guys hit a plateau because they don't lift weights with their legs. Oh, and cardio isn't the same as hitting the legs. This should help him figure out his caloric needs http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/
  15. Some of them are pretty bad, but I have found one that isn't too bad.
  16. This is the creatine I buy. It doesn't taste chaly when mixed with water. Mix it with something like pineapple juice and you can't taste it at all, plus it's freaking cheap. http://www.musclefeast.com/Creatine/Micronized-Creatine-Monohydrate.html
  17. I was going to ask if you threw in an occasional cheat meal. These will keep your body out of starvation mode. Tracking your caloric intake and macro nutrients might help. Unfortunately men store fat in their torso first and lose it there last. Putting on muscle will help, to a point. Unless you are new to training, it is almost impossible to lose fat and put on muscle.
  18. Tracking exactly what you eat will help with that. An app like my fitness pal is a great option. It breaks down what macro and micro nutrients you should eat. How long have you been eating clean? Are you tracking what you eat?
