Re: How Many "Organic" lifters we got?

Boss Man, I find that hard to believe. So there's no difference between a genetically modified potato and an organically grown one? There's no difference between an onion seeping in pesticides and toxins, and one that isn't? I would love to see this study if you still have it on hand somewhere. Here...

Some Running Basics

I looked through this category, and figured I would make a thread about the basics for people to check out before posting some of the more common questions. 1) Yes, your calves are going to be sore for a WHILE when you begin jogging on a regular basis. I've been jogging 3 to 4 times a week longer th...

Re: Elliptical & Treadmill

Well to be honest, from a body's perspective that sounds incredibly boring! I won't demonize cardio machines, but I think you and your body would benefit far more from circuit training, which is basically cardio and weight training mixed together. What is the point of all this machine based cardio y...

Re: Do More Pullups?

Hi there. Pullups are hard for most people, and that's why they're awesome to conquer and overcome. Here are suggestions. Are you aware of what a jump-pullup is? I'll give you a basic run down really quick: Stand under the bar, jump up with your legs, pull yourself up as high as you can go, or are c...

Re: Mantits (need help with fitness routine)

First of all friend, 80% of what is going to get rid of those MT's is your food intake regimen. They are excess body fat basically, and in order to get rid of them you're going to need to reduce your overall percentage. Whenever you're setting out to change body composition, first tackle the food as...

Re: how to tighten skin around waist?

I would like to throw in two cents. I'll stay away from your caloric intake, and stick with your choice of an exercise regimen. I think you should substitute some of your cardio with dynamic full body workout circuits. It could be you've simply hit a plateau, and your exercise regimen to be honest l...

How Many "Organic" lifters we got?

This is just a basic question I have for the community here at Shapefit.com because I'm curious. If you live in the US, then food prices have already risen over 10% in the last few months, and this can really put a hamper on some people's routines, especially those that are bulking up, or going for ...

Re: Forearm workouts

Hey buddy! Someone mentioned Farmer Walking I believe, but here's a way to really get your forearms jacked, while burning tons of calories simultaneously. I'm a pretty big guy, but I typically don't go over 25lb dumbbells with this exercise. I go to the treadmill, set that sucker on high elevation r...
