    you don't need gloves for spotting, but you want them for the plate loading/unloading. people who've done it have told me it's a helluva workout by itself.

    Electric Shavers vs Razors

    i used a Mach III for years, but got tired of the nicks. now i use a Panasonic ES8243A Arc IV. Pros: for me, it works great BEFORE a shower. Cons: if the charge is low, it'll just stop in the middle of a shave & you can't use it while it's charging. for me, post-shower shaves are terrible.

    Does it matter if you use a pad when barbell squatting?

    partials have their place, but i'm having a hard time seeing any benefit from this. there's a guy at my gym who does the same thing. he also does bench press & squat in the Smith machine the same way, with a 1 inch ROM. i just ignore it & concentrate on my own stuff.

    Couple of questions about deadlift form

    use alternating grip. it's safer - you want to minimize the chance that a heavily loaded bar will fall from your hands & smash your knee or leg or somebody's ankle. plus, alternating grip is better at preventing the bar from rolling and then violently removing skin from your palms. grip strength...

    Weight training shoes

    Is it against the rules to put weights back at the gym now?

    there are friday night morons at my gym who leave plates on the bars or scattered all over, ditto dumbbells. it's almost funny to see 315 lbs on the squat rack bar and a neck pad.

    Long term benefits of "supplements"

    interesting article. i competed against one guy in a drug-tested powerlifting contest who smoked me. however, he was open about his history and how (he thought) his usage screwed up his health in a major way (as in almost killing him). i've read other sources that say the enhanced baseline...

    Wince times 10. Sounds like one of the ER stories my son tells me. My ex-coach saw a guy lose a finger racking a heavily loaded bar while benching. You pay for carelessness.

    Dangerous gym dude stories

    here's mine: A guy this morning does 1/4 squats with 225 lbs, then bumps it up to 315. Paces before "squatting" 315 because 225 taxes your CNS and one has to psych up, you know. nears falls over walking out with the bar and "squats" with an obvious lack of control (thus endangering others...
