Well after a shot into my tendon, all was well for about 2 weeks and then while curling, the pain happened again, and has been for the last few week, regardless of weight. Even an empty bar. I have been sent to see a specialist, but that won't be for another 3 weeks. Should I stop working out and hi...

Hi All, I've been working out on and off with weights for a few years now. About 6 weeks ago, doing my normal workout with curls, I felt an odd growing pain in my right elbow. This pain only came out when I was curling or twisting my right arm. I went to the doctor after a few days of Icy-Hot treatm...

USMC, no MOS yet as I am training to goto OCS. I am currently in decent shape but overweight by Military standards. I think I could definetly lose at least 20-30 more pounds. This would also help save my knees for longer runs. Primarily, my goal is weight loss and cardio, then weights, since I think...

Hi All, I am looking to burn away fat and get into gear with a short amount of time. I have been training with 30 mins spinning sessions M-F at 6am, and then 20mins weight training followed by 10 mins of slow walking around 6pm. I would like to bump it up and replace the 10 mins of walking with 30mi...

Does it do anything with strength and energy, or just fill you with water? I was under the assumption it would help me get stronger also, and fill me with energy, but I'm not sure I see it when I compare it to energy pills. Thanks for your opinions/experience!

I've read about creatine but there is so much conflicting information out there, and you don't know who to really believe when it comes to articles, and thus I decided to ask here to gather reponses from personal opinions. I bought the NOX-CG3 creatine matrix powder to try it out. I can't tell if I'...

Am I suppose to take creatine only before I perform my workouts, or also on days which I do not, such as weekends when I don't work out? Also, should I take it early in the morning to give my body more time to get water or keep taking it in the evening before my workouts?

Turns out I couldn't even run it because I need a paper signed by a physician first, so I had to reschedule LOL. It was horrible I was so pumped that morning and night, I couldn't sleep. I will let you know when I do run it though! Thanks for the help all!

Thanks =)

Actually Monday I simulated everything I would be wearing and taking, except the Excedrin. I timed how long it was until I felt the effects of everything to kick in, etc. I will be trying to sleep 8-9hours for sure! I just dont want to fall a few seconds short on my run when something could have hel...

I have a PFT(Personal Fitness Test) tomorrow morning at 8:30am. I was planning to get up at 6am and having some water/creatine and toast. At about an hour prior, I was going to also take some energy pills in order to help me perform better. I was also considering taking "excedrin with caffeine" pill...

I currently run my 1 1/2 miles at about 15 mins, 13-14 mins if I push it. My goal is to push it down to 12 mins. I need to drop it down this low within 2 weeks or so. I currently life weights M-W-F and cardio/run T-T-S. I am willing to alter my schedule for the next 2 weeks in order to accompish thi...

I am pretty sure he is talking about the brand "Strength" shoes they have a platform that lifts the ball of the food off the ground forcing the calves to remain contracted or else the heel dips and stretches the calf. seen here I think, http://www.eastbay.com/catalog/productdetail.cfm?TID=5555-0001...

Anyone have experience with these shoes? I bought a pair and have used them a bit, but along with the soreness in my calves came a soreness in my achilles and rear foot area. Is this normal or am I jumping too much?

I had like 12 hardboiled eggs once in a row...never do that!
