Anyone try ZipFizz? I did the other day for the first time and wow.... felt like I could have stayed at the gym all day...

I saw a guy yesterday that weighed at least 220, doing DB press on a ball with 115 lb dumbells. The thing didn't explode so I'd say you're fine.

I heard somewhere that you want to go to 90 degree elbow bend to reduce the risk of shoulder injury. Is this true???

Something really embarassing happened to me at the gym tonight, so I thought it would make a great idea for a thread. Here is what happened:

I was doing flat DB presses, and I had 90lb DBs on my...

lmao!

OK, I've always wondered this, and since we are on the general subject.....

How much does the bar on the Smith machine weigh (wihtout any weights on it)? It looks like it's counter-balanced...

You can also tape your shins, to relieve the pain in the meantime while your legs adjust. Shin splints are when the muscles in the shins actually pull away from the bone (just the muscle itself, not...

Cool thanx!

OK, for all the noobs out there (like me), what is a "CG" bench? I tried the search function but couldn't come up with anything....

Ok, I noticed this at the gym today. I didn't want to read 17 pages of posts, so sorry if this one's already in here.

I hate it when I go to get plates off the storage pegs, and in order to get...

I haven't seen too much stuff coming from the cardio area of the gym, so here's a list of my cardio-room annoyances:

1. Tall people on the bike, with the seat raised at setting #2 so their knees...

One thing that gets me is seeing someone on a treadmill with it set on full incline, yet they're hanging onto the handrail for dear life and leaning backwards, so that they're still perpendicular to...

Hehe, yeah by the time I get to my flat bench, my chest is pretty much shot, I just figured the more tired I got the better workout I was getting... I'll try trimming it way down and using heavier...

Yeah, I didn't think there was any way I should be able to do that either. I think the problem may lie in the fact that by the time I get to flat BP, I'm too tired to properly train the muscles, does...

.....that I'm able to lift more on incline chest excercises than flat ones? I've always understood that one should be able to do more weight on flat bench than incline, so why is it that I seem to be...

Thanks guys!!

Hi, since we're on the subject..... How do you add weight, without having access to one of those belts with the chains hanging from it? Thanks!

No, not necessarily. Again I will use my father's problem for an example, he apparently had little or no pain in his neck. Just bad headaches and random numbness in various extremeties.

My dad went to a sports medicine doctor and after describing a few symptoms, he knew right away what it was. I think a sports med doc would be more appropriate for you anyways since it's probably a...

My father recently had to have emergency neck surgery, and he had basically the same symptoms you do. One of his vertibrae had slipped out of place and was basically squashing his spinal cord, it was...
