IRON, from Details Magazine By Henry Rollins I believe that the definition of definition is reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. Completely. When I was young I had no sense of myself. All I was, was a product of all the fear and...

I am a fourth grade teacher. 21 little one always making remarks about my size. I am also the only man on campus. One of the teachers constantly calls me Mr. Flex. lol

My body isn't making it easy for me, I've started hitting the gym for a month and few days now, and in that time I've had the flu twice, yes TWICE. Headache, fever, no appetite. I'm really motivated usually, never miss a workout unless I'm sick, gained around 10 lbs so far, and now i lost half of...

When i'm down in the dumps about going to hit a workout and i just cant get motivated to leave the house, I do one of many things to get motivated for that moment. Here are some ideas, and I would appreciate more! 1.) Watch the Kevin Levrone video on my bodyspace, 5 minutes long and makes me...

Recently my girlfriend broke up with me. I saw it coming, we're both going to college and are going to be a few hours apart. It didn't make it any easier, though. Instead of being down on myself so much like I thought I would be, suddenly I have found a new motivation to get things done in order...

I might play football next year, or continue just working out. I go to the gym prolly twice a week, but it went from 4 times a week down to two and im just starting to lose interest. If anyone could give me motivational tips or tips on how to maintain a schedule id really like it. Also it may not...

I had recently run into some youtube videos of previews for these video documentaries and was immediately impressed. I am not an experienced bodybuilder by any means, but I am beginning to understand the sacrifices that it takes to succeed in this sport. In these documentaries the life of a...

This may be long but I need to explain the whole picture. I've spent the whole last month on a bulk and have gained zero. Here is my diet: Pre-workout: 40 grams whey 1 banana Breakfast:

Last year I was focused on getting stronger and bigger until eventually it caught up with me and I partially tore my right rotator cuff again. 6 months of recovery and Ive been back in the gym but I took advantage of those 6 months to try to get more fit and I lost about 25lbs. My raw 1rm were...

Hey. I had lifted my junior year of high school, went from around 110 lb (no strength at all) to 130 with decent strength, then took 2 years off to screw around and be a little rebel. My life pretty much consisted of partying and smoking a lot of pot. I didn't exercise at all, lost all my...

I can't stay motivated, and my wedding is in 8 moths. I will stick to my diet for like half the week, then the weekend comes and I let loose.

I am 21 and getting surgery on my hip for avascular necrosis and am going to have to use crutches for 6 weeks. Are all the gains i've made going to go down the toilet with such a long hiatus? is there anything i can to do maintain muscle mass without working out for the 6 weeks?

Last year I wound up taking a break for a few months (STUPID STUPID STUPID), mostly because I wound up dating a girl who wanted my free time to the point that I felt guilty about going to the gym. Well, needless to say, I had to break up with her when my body fat % went from around 9 to around 15. ...
