What motivates you to keep going?

Good topic. I used to use the rage/anger/dissapointment fuel from either lifting or from other areas of life. Would use weight lifting as my own therapy. Over time I have gained better control of my emotions and realized there is little to get really upset about. Now I use temporary goals and...

Stopped lifting for a month

I hadn't lifted seriously in about 2 weeks due to a vacation followed by dead president crapping on Southeast Texas. Since most of the area was spotty on electricity, I started doing some general excercises in my apartment's "gym". One of the first things I did was a pull-up test to see how...

Trying to figure out a healthy lifestyle

Man, you're spending your senior year the wrong way... I took AP calc and english my senior year, but was only in school for 3 hours a day. I worked in the afternoons (at Smoothie King) and goofed off the rest of the time. Average homework load was around 20 minutes. Shrug, I guess it boils down...

arm wrestling

One other thing to think about is the stress arm wrestling puts on your joints. I arm wrestled a friend who easily had 100 pounds on me (but most all fat). I won two back to back attempts but my elbow was killing me for days. -edit for spelling

bump

When I was younger, roughly your age, i developed lumps under each nipple. They were fairly solid but not really noticable from the outside. I eventually swallowed my pride and went to the doctor. Turns out that while your body is overloaded with hormones at the phase in life you can develop...

Forearm pain during preacher curls

Thanks for the replies. The pain is only in my right forarm and only when doing preachers with an EZ bar. It used to be just a slight pain, but has grown more pronounced over the past month. I haven't gone up in weight (even backed off some due to the pain) but it has continued to get worse...

Working out at home is NOT working out. I need a gym... but which one?

I like hte Gold's I work out at (got a great deal since it was just opening). Downside is there is very very little eye candy. Or at least little candy that isn't rotten.

Forearm pain during preacher curls

COpunky Same deal. It's always with an EZ bar and the pain is along the bone. I am going to try skipping preachers for a while, its good to mix the routine up. BTW I am not new to lifting and know how to use proper form and caution on excercises. As far as my routine goes, I don't...

Dips hurt the hell out of my clavicles

Dips used to hurt me. I am a pretty small guy but have wide shoulders for my height. Since my overall strength has increased over the years (sholders and upper pecs) I don't get pain anymore.

NO-Xplode and Vasculature

I have been NO-Xing for the past 4 or 5 months or so (about to start my 3rd 1.8 lb tub). One question... do i really need to be cycling on and off this stuff? I have been going pretty much straight through when one tub ends, have the next one ready to go. Secondly, I know it is supposed to...

i've been #2'ing a lot more since i've started to take in more protein

5 was definately the exception not the norm. 3 is about average. They are spaced out throughout the day. I make sure to get plenty of fiber in my diet through cereals and fiber enriched bread. If anything, I may be getting too much fiber.

Using an original Ninja on a Q6700 worth it?

my Q6700 is G0. I was under the impression that all were but meh, i checked mine anyways. Yeah... the whole push pin thing is kind of odd and the ninja weighs a ton compared to a stock heatsink. Shrug, like i said i need to get new mounting for it if i use it. I may try using a backplate...

Using an original Ninja on a Q6700 worth it?

So I am about to start overclocking my Q6700 and was wondering if the original Scythe Ninja with a 120mm fan I have laying around would be enough. I would like to get up to 3.2GHz but will most likely be heat limited. I would need to buy new mounting hardware and upgrade the fan on it anyways...

A8n-Sli deluxe bios 1011 Royally screwed my comp

I am going to try doing that as soon as i get off work. Still worried about the HD. My guess there is format or RMA if the format doesn't work.

A8n-Sli deluxe bios 1011 Royally screwed my comp

Posting my story from last night, any advice is welcome. Last night I decided to try to fix my blue screen errors with my Sony DRU-510a burner. It had been giving me problems from the beginning but I had another optical drive installed so I didn't sweat it. But last night I was feeling...

A8n-Sli w/ Hitachi SATA BIOS question

Well, after trying every port on both the nVidia and SI controllers no luck. I flashed 1003 bios, no luck. Tried a windows 98 fdisk to format, no luck. Lastly tried the Hitachi drive utility and again no luck. Time to RMA. I just hope its only my hard drive and not my mobo. I put in an old IDE...

A8n-Sli w/ Hitachi SATA BIOS question

Its a brand new drive. Just got it at the same time as the motherboard. I have heard that updating the motherboard bios before getting a stable OS running can be risky. I guess i'm really just hoping that installing windows will ignore the bios readings. BTW the hard drive is: Hitachi...
