    DampRid makes some "moisture absorbers" - I've used both the tubs and hang-able packs in a utility shed and they work really well. I highly doubt it will be an issue, but I'd give these a shot and...

    I initially started rowing (years ago) when I only had dumbbells. Once I picked up a barbell and got more serious about lifting I switched to a straight bar. It's easy to notice the potential...

    I was wondering about the lock out too; when I watched the video my first thought (just being honest, not meant to be offensive) was those aren't true reps but for the last one, but given your...

    For 2, I do BB bench and have added DB floor...

    I wouldn't be concerned with degradation; as long as it's sealed (which it should be) it should be fine. Intuitively, I would think a tub would stand up better than a bag, but in either case you...

    Ephedra and caffeine don't accumulate in your system like, say, creatine, and should be taken pre-workout. Taking ephedra half as much twice a day will theoretically just produce two less intense...
