    Cardio before or after training?

    I recently got into running and always do it after training. Last month I ran every day for 30 days straight. (well, except for 1 day due to work). My original goal was to run 40 miles, but I ended up with almost 70 miles total for the month. It gets easier over time. Start with 1/2 to 1 mile...

    went to Costco for the first time...

    Costco and Sams Club are pretty comparable here in California although with some variance in brands or what they carry. I think Costco used to have much better quality meat, but now only slightly better than say sams or other grocery stores. Still very good, but I feel like quality has gone down...

    Elbow pain

    Yeah, this is my fear of what might happen to me if I continue training. Basically just resting my arm/elbow against something for more than a minute causes some pain and numbness/tingling to run down my arm along the ulnar nerve. It's not a extremely sharp pain most of the time unless I pick...

    Elbow pain

    Update - So I got fed up with the pain and just filled the script. As I suspected it did not really help much. It seemed to slightly decrease the pain for a few days, but never relieved it. I have pretty much been out of the gym for the last 2.5 weeks and doing strictly cardio. The pain has...

    Better to train around women or men???

    I don't talk to or pay attention to any of the women (or men for that matter) at the gym. As long as they aren't interrupting me it does not matter who is there.

    LE@ the gym today...

    I got caught up in the wrong side of the law many years ago and know just how corrupt and dirty cops can be. Part of the reason why I also only use legal supplements. My biggest concern with telling off undercover LE like that is my healthy fear of cops planting evidence, or straight up lying...

    Just Chicken

    Yeah, we bought one of those big individual multi packs of chicken tenders from costco. Pretty convenient and each pouch has enough for two people plus leftovers. In fact I'm going to make some stir fry tonight with one of them. Quick 15 minute meal.

    Netflix ??

    I go that route sometimes but the quality on some movies/shows is crappy and frequent stopping. Its great when the quality is good, but is awful when its not.

    How can I get more vascular

    Like others said losing body fat is going to be the only sure fire way...Adding additional supplements especially one's that increase blood pressure is not the best (or safest) way to look more vascular. You should fix your diet and routine first.

    Got the gf in the gym...

    Yeah, don't do that either. I was addicted to pain pills for many years. Got on suboxone, and took those for years too until I couldn't afford them anymore - Not necessarily by choice. Truly, the best way to get off the pain pills is just cold turkey. The withdrawal sucks and will feel like the...

    Netflix ??

    yeah, I subscribe to netflix, hulu plus, and amazon instant video (free with amazon prime). They all have their pros and cons, but netflix streaming is a decent value at 8 bucks per month. Lots of content and video quality is good.

    Doritos Locos Tacos

    I got the nacho cheese dorrito taco and it wasn't too good. The taco shell had a stale taste to it. That being said I have to try the cool ranch taco. lol.

    Benefits of using Steroids

    This article is a joke....it presents the fact that there may be positive benefits only to fill the article with myths and exaggerated symptoms. The pinnacle of this article was that the author implies that users inject back alley steroids into their veins causing arm scars. lol. It just goes to...

    Elbow pain

    Yeah, I should have added that I was strongly leaning towards not filling the script after researching side effects and general accepted uses for prednisone. In fact the only advice I'll follow is avoiding or lowering weights on certain exercises. Thanks - You confirmed everything I was...

    Elbow pain

    So I went to the doctor and she said that it sounds like tendonitis of the tricep and it is probably irritating the ulnar nerve. They took xrays before seeing the doc and said the elbow joint looked good. She told me not to do any tricep extensions (or any other painful exercises such a shoulder...

    Elbow pain

    Thanks for all the input. Great information. I've got an appointment on Tuesday and I doubt the doc will give me any better advice. After all my reading I also believe its nerve entrapment and I believe that I also have subluxation as my elbow join pops strangely at times. It's not excruciating...
