Soolmaz Hosseini: What’s your motivation in the gym?
Posted: February 23, 2010 by soolmazh in Athlete BlogsWhat motivates you to do what you do in the gym? What motivates you to go heavier, harder, or push out that extra rep? For the past year and a half, it had been me knowing that I would have to stand on stage in a tiny bikini in bright lights. Did I mention I [...]
I finally feel like I’m back in the groove. Things have been so crazy around here that I’ve been barely able to focus on my training. I’m in the gym grinding it out, but my thoughts have been on other things. Promotion to supervisor, Promotional appearances, and helping friends out at the gym has kept [...]
Lucas Irwin: 75 Days Out
Posted: February 22, 2010 by unbreakablegear in Lucas G. IrwinTags: cardio, contest, prep, training
WEIGHT: 216.5 To this point, I am very satisfied with my training and progress. I am still staying as heavy as I can on all of my lifts and avoiding the 13+ rep ranges, unless it is a burnout. My waist has really started to shrink and I am seeing the benefits of avoiding direct [...]

Lockouts… do them or avoid them? by Jonathan Marshall, NSCA-CPT Through out the years I’ve heard trainers tell their clients not to lock out the knee or elbow joints. They feared that their client might injure themselves. So once again a myth overpowers research. I cannot think of any bad exercises, only bad ways to [...]

Posted: February 16, 2010 by soolmazh in Athlete Blogs, Soolmaz HosseiniTags: Dietary supplements, FDA, senate
The US government is looking to start regulating the dietary supplements out on the market. How do you guys feel about that? Personally, I think it’s about time.

It’s funny how things work out. I’ve been very hesitant about taking on a workout partner. I’ve worked out on my own for years and didn’t want to allow anyone to get in the way of progress. Don’t get me wrong, when people ask for help, I help them out with diet and exercise tips. But actually taking someone on [...]

Lucas G. Irwin: 94 Days Out – Hamstrings
Posted: February 3, 2010 by unbreakablegear in Lucas G. IrwinNothing maintainss a rock-hard, muscular physique while cutting down better than “short”, high-intensity weight training sessions.
