    Calve Machine? Which one to choose?

    Hello all, I'm assisting my gym in selecting new pieces of equipment for later this year. We've already decided on a new powercage, plate loaded shoulder press and 45 degree leg press. I'm trying to get us a specific standing calve raise machine. However the only one I can find from Matrix...

    Can you FEEL when your muscles are stimulated enuff?

    Yeah, like the title says, we want to rock up to the gym and train with sufficient intensity to provide a stimulus for muscle growth. Now the scoop of WPI post workout shake question is.. Can you feel when this actually happens?? Look at it this way. There is A) a point whereby the muscles...

    Isolation exercises - where's your cutoff point?

    So most lifters do *some* isolation stuff, be it for biceps, calves, traps, abs, or whatever else. Even though a variety of compound lifts will pretty much cover all your bases, to some extent. So, is it no shrugs for you? No calf raises? No curls? Ab work? What's the thing(s) you just don't...

    Micro loading dumbells

    Hi all, I've got a standard adjustable dumbell set where the smallest increase is 2.5kg per dumbell (1.25 plate a side). What I wanted to ask is do any of you do anything to allow for smaller increases in weight such as unevenly loading the dumbell or micro loading with smaller weights? Or...

    What’s the point of oral sex?

    Why on earth would anyone perform oral sex? Particularly on a woman?!? While these questions seem silly to some of us (I mean, it’s obviously because the people involved find it totally hot, right?), they aren’t to evolutionary biologists. This is because many of our behaviors and choices...

    Crap deadlift, good opportunity to point and laugh

    My deadlift is crap. I'd really like to do something about it, but I really struggle with form. I'm miles from any regular critiquing, so it's not really getting better. Here's a current attempt, when somewhat fatigued, at about 75%: Crappy 140kg Triple - YouTube It doesn't look too good...

    Squatting, Depth and Hamstrings: A Different Point of View

    ***I've also posted this on fitocracy.*** It's story time. The very first time I did squats as an exercise, I was 14 years old and doing martial arts. The instructor didn't say anything about depth one way or another, so I was blissfully unaware of how big a shitstorm was going on in the...

    Pulldowns vs Pullups

    I do both of these. I do shoulder width parallel grip pullups...I've tried wider grip palms away grip but basically I'm too weak/shit at it, so I stick with what I can do. I can do 10-11 reps and haven't tried adding weight yet. I've always read that pullups are superior to pulldowns but I find...

    Work Romances

    Is it a good or bad idea to be involved in a relationship with someone at work? I'm not necessarily talking about the Xmas party 'liaison', I'm thinking more the ongoing affair. Have you, or someone you know, had any good or bad experiences of this? What are your thoughts?
