I've taken the liberty of naming them. "Reverse Ab Machine Torso Twist" So it's this machine . except the guy was sitting on it backwards and had the front handle bars+chest padding rotated 180 degrees. "Momentum Curls" This guy would grab some pretty heavy dumbbells (~40lbs ?) and start swing them ...

This is some good advice, thanks. I like my basketball shoes because they're mostly flat and not heavily custioned, very similar to converse. They were picked over my other shoes because they seemd to be the closest thing to weight lifting shoes. Anyways, with my new found knowledge of proper foot w...

Squating and Shoes
So the other day I forgot to bring my shoes to the gym with me (a spare work out shirt and shorts is small enough to keep somewhere). I have flatter feet, i'm one of those guys who does those foot tests and you don't see much of a curve. Normally I wear this one pair of basket ball shoes because the...

Arguably soy, peanuts, wheat and refined sugar aren't "really toxic" for most adults. There are people who are allergic to wheat, peanuts and soy but they make up a small majority of the adult population. While food allergies are becoming more prevalent in children most of them tend to out grow it.....

According to Ayruveda: Pasteurized milk is toxic; in fact for that matter any processed food is toxic in nature. Best way recommended is getting the raw milk, boil it and let it cool to room temperature. Add some cardamon or cinnmon to it. This is the best way to consumeyour milk. If you want to kn...

I can see deadlifts being less of an insurance liability concern. I don't see how you could kill yourself doing deadlifts - I do see how you could kill yourself doing squats. I have a pretty powerful imagination, i'll give it a whirl. Some guy catches wind of how great dead lifts are so he goes wat...

To piggy back off what Jebus was saying, you don't want to drink alcohol to help you sleep. While it does make you sleepy it inhibits proper sleep cycles so even though you've gone asleep you don't go through the proper rest cycles so you don't feel refreshed when you wake up. Something else worth n...

Dang it, I think my reference was missed. In the movie Crocodile dundee the main protagonist is held up by a robber holding a pocket knife (~4") to which he says "That's not a knife, this is a knife!" and pulls out a bowie knife (~9"). I wasn't saying that it wasn't an ankle sprain, I just saying th...

1) Organic is no more nutritious than it's non-organic counter parts. Organic *might* contain less pesticides BUT the term has been bastardized so much (at least on the us) that it might not be as natural as you think. There's a ton of regulations and fine print around organic so I don't know the ex...

Increase Strength without increasing body weight?
Is there any advice on getting stronger and lifting more without putting on more weight?
Even if you "eat clean" you'll still gain more mass and your body fat % can only go so low. How do those record power lifters and Olympic champions do it? Genetics?

I'll quickly interject some relevant comedy before this thread gets too serious!

That's not an ankle sprain. This is an ankle sprain.
