In the past, I would have mocked useless or overpriced/under dosed supplement sales, stability training, super slow training, ect.
This may be common knowledge, but until today I had no idea these places existed and that idiots poured money into them.
Fitness Bootcamps. Look it up on google.
Some are more ridiculous than you'd imagine.

All of these weird pillates (sp?) machines that look like it cost $25 to make, but sell for $300.

I always get a laugh out of TV commercials for ab equipment. They market these products to people who think that spot training will give them 6-pack abs.
Began training off and on: 8/00 @ 150lbs
Began serious training: 3/05 @ 177lbs
Last time I checked: 12/05 @ 198lbs
I use a 3-day split, with 2 days on, 1 off
I take Creatine, whey protein, L-glutamine, multi-vitamins
Goals for 2006: Improve upper back and get to 210lbs

Body part splits and trying to figure out Brad Pitt's workout for whichever movie you happened to notice his physique in (Hint: he's skinny in all of them).
Back from the grave.

Holy **** ya, that friggin sauna belt...
I saw the ad today for the first time and I could not stop laughing, by the time it was over, I realized it made me mad at how stupid can really be, and then I couldnt stop swearing, no joke.Perception is reality, your thoughts are lies, your beliefs are hollow, and there is no God.
