Everyone in my office has hit me up for "tips and advice" at one point or another. The only person to make any progress actually hired a trainer at her gym to help her with her workouts. The rest of...

I've been using EAS Phos****en and haven't had any bloating issues. That's one you might consider.

Hey Emoore, I know about the riding boot problem! I'm hanging on to a pair of Vogel boots that need to be altered to fit my calves since they are bigger now than when I bought the boots (over 10...

I'm pretty new to the competition scene so I'm not sure if I have full knowledge of figure competitions. As far as I know, the only class where age is a factor is the Master's class. You must meet a...

I do donkey calf raises at home and don't need a partner or specialized machine. I use a calf block and a weight belt. I bend at the waist and touch my fingers on the edge of a workout bench for...

I love my home gym! No waiting on equipment, the only sweat on it is mine, and I have full control over the music selections.

The NPC definitely has the highest number of shows so it is easiest to find one not too far from you. Give an NPC show a try to see how you do. My trainer says I would fare better in the INBF so I...

Ugh, I used to get comments like "You don't need to workout, you're so skinny!" before I ever started any training. These comments came from people who did not know what my clothes were hiding. It...

In Arnold's book he talks about he and his fellow bb'ers would lay out in the sun to get their tan started. He said he also used tanner, although back then it was more like a skin dye.

True story: Two weeks ago I was doing SLDL's (total weight w/bar 110lbs) and my grip weakened at the 7th rep. I was able to finish (was doing 3 sets of 10) but my focus greatly shifted from...

I use the clean grip because I do not have a...

Great thread! I can easily relate to everyone's comments here. I've been at my job for almost 2.5 years. Only within the last few months have three of my coworkers (funnily enough, the ones that sit...

Congrats on your win! :D

I would say she has three options...a) stop training her back until after the wedding, b) use light weight, high reps to train for endurance instead of size, or c) keep training with heavy weight and...

Hi there - I'm not sure what you consider "a lot" of oatmeal. A serving is half a cup, measured dry. The protein powder should be mixed into the oatmeal after cooking.

Sugar is a carbohydrate....

I not only train at home, I trained for a contest too! I have just enough stuff to do a variety of exercises. What is most important is being consistent with your training and giving it your best...
