Probably why they're $80 off a couple months after coming out, eh? In the market for some new shoes, Adipower the best?
What's a good amount of daily protein to maintain weight. Do a good amount of cardio as well and been seeing nice lifting gains at around 200 grams per day(weigh 180-185), is that a good amount/too much/too little? Pretty much in experimentation mode right now. On about a 3000 calorie per day diet, bit more when involving alcohol on the weekends.
Got a guy driving in from Cincinnati today with a rented box truck. He's not leaving until the thing is full of gym equipment and there's only three of us to load it. I've never wanted to stay at my real job more on a Friday.
reading on twitter that Rich Piana died this morning. at a minimum he's in a medically induced coma still.
Hit 5x5 of 165 on overhead squat yesterday, trying to hit 200 1RM. Shoulders are strong enough to keep 175 stable for reps of 3 but can't seem to lower in straight enough line it seems for heavier weight. Anyone know of any other exercises that will help with keeping the bar in the right place for overhead squats other than overhead squats?
someone in his camp released a statement saying he suffered injuries from a fall and it wasn't an overdose. you can't live that life forever.
I doubt it's the motor oil he mainlines to his biceps. More likely from what he puts up his nose. The guy can be a dick. but he's not a bad person. He sponsors a friend of mine that I played hs fb with that suffers from ataxia.
PSA: Working 2 jobs and getting ready for a baby in 2 weeks doesn't bode well for performance in the gym.
Geez I hope he's okay. Not a good sign that he didn't respond to the "pump life back into him with his legs" maneuver.
Two demographics utilize polos in their workout attire at my gym: los Mexicanos and Indians. It's really the second accessory statement that ties you to one or the other: excessive hair products or lifting in flip flops.
There's a group of Mexicans at my gym who all bus tables at the same place then work out afterwards but don't change clothes. Nonslip black shoes, black slacks, red polo. Every damn night. Anecdotal, but I have to agree. Indians get a pass because they never know when a jai alai game is gonna break out and court rules mandate a polo shirt.
Are we gonna give the Sherlock Holmes award to the police who found "20 BOTTLES OF STERIODS" at Rich Piana's house? The guy is open about using and I could be wrong but I'd say there's an extremely high likelihood his fall was due to drugs other than steroids.
He went on Tosh.0 and openly talked about using them, it would have been weird if they didn't find steroids
I loathe Piana, but this feaux surprise/outrage at his steroid use and believing it led to him falling is
Rich Piana is easy to hate and I don't fault anyone who doesn't care for him. I respect his openness with regards to gear usage because too many kids have unrealistic expectations. But Bigger, Stonger, Faster (and similar documentaries) as well as hanging out with guys with decades of gear use I can conclusively say I've never heard of an "epidemic" like we do with, say, opiates. For young me, watching Lyle Alzado cry about how anabolics ruined his life had a huge impact. Now that I'm older I realize it was likely the cocaine, pain pills, CTE, brain cancer, and AIDS that made him a shell of a man. The steriods at most exacerbated those issues.
the are always fringe bodybuilding guys like him, during the 90's Greg Kovacs was the guy. he died a few years back from heart complications.
