If you have spent any time in a gym, you have to have some good stories to tell. Let's see who has some good ones.

The past several years we have seen some mass monsters come out of the Oxygen gym. What is the secret? What do you guys think?

Anyone else ever get jealous of someone else. I’m trying to go by the motto of “be the best you” but it’s driving me nuts. I’ve been lifting on and off for the past 16years I deal with a lot of back issues and tendon issues in both wrists and elbows. I know a guy that lifts on and off for a few...

A few months ago I sold my gym and now am in ponder 'what to do'.. it was a small gym and in Asia so, not much money to last long in thought. ANYWAY, since my gym is gone and I am basically drifting around. Making it a lean out part of life, decided to strengthen my cardio and all the areas of...

Some dude, who barely looks like he lifts, complained that my buddy turned on the fan at the gym. It was a sauna in there. He complained it hindered gains and fat loss. So, let's see the science on it. Or hear some opinions anyone? Does temperature at the gym bother you? Do you prefer to be...

Hard to feel sorry for a few of these idiots... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ghfGdEilxZg" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

by Matt Weik If you’ve always wanted a home gym, but never had a home that gave you extra space to build one, you might find this article quite interesting. When you thing about it, you don’t need all of the fancy machines and weight plates, and fancy dumbbells with the gyms logo on them. In...

by Matt Weik Sniffles… Coughs… Congestion… You know what time it is—time to carry around the hand sanitizer! Colder months of the year tend to be a breeding ground to spread the common cold and flu. Yet, you don’t want to go all anti-social on the world and close everyone off, worried that...

by Anders JP Eskilsson I’m quite sure you have seen them while you have been training over the decades. They train alone, move slow and quietly between each exercise and hardly ever speak to anyone. They seem unimpressed by anything, rarely smile – sticking to their own business. I’ve seen...

by Anders JP Eskilsson As I open the heavy iron door, a scent of liniment mixed with a murky basement type of smell entered my nostrils. Well inside the hallway I could hear loud music coming from the inner rooms, along with heavy weights falling to the concrete floor. There were all kind of...

by Matt Weik A famous line from the movie The Dark Knight is, “Why so serious?” said by the Joker. Maybe it’s just me, but I can see the pasty white-faced Joker walking up to many bodybuilders today and saying the same thing. Bodybuilders these days walk around like someone pissed in their...

We all make mistakes in life, that’s how we learn and grow. Well, the same principle can be used when it comes to our overall health and fitness progress. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or advanced exerciser, anyone can fall into a trap if they aren’t careful. If you don’t understand...

It’s obvious that the United States is in crisis mode when it comes to battling the bulge. With spare donuts and kegs around our midsections, there doesn’t appear to be an end in sight. It’s not difficult to start an exercise program, yet a large percentage of the people who start exercising...

What are the thoughts on running GW50 45 minutes before you hit the gym only, not on off gym days. Not looking to cut at this point, just the benefits of endurance is what I'm looking for. Thoughts??

My wife and I are in Houston for the weekend, visiting family. We're staying in an air bnb apartment and I found a gym a quarter mile away. Go there this morning not knkwing what to expect and was DELIGHTED. This place reminds me of Mans World Gym in Trenton, NJ where I first started training a...

by Matt Weik Everyone wants to be fashionable. Sometimes people create their own style instead of following trends—and that’s perfectly fine. Days of the old man sweatpants and beat up t-shirt are gone. We are in an era where fitness meets fashion. With brands popping up all over, it’s...

Let me set the scene: You start an exciting new program and you have a great 8 to 12 weeks of moving upwards in weight, you are starting to see new muscular lines that weren’t there before. You’re as motivated as ever to get to the gym and blast dust. Week 11, 12 and 13 creep around and your...
