Workout Playlist #44
1) My Chemical Romance – I’m Not Okay There are two kinds of people: those who secretly love My Chemical Romance, and liars. 2) Iron Maiden – Run to the Hills I’ve never heard Bruce Dickinson sound so much like Dio as he does in this song. NOT complaining. 3) Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars […]
An AB-onimable Workout
Puns, they’re wholesome American fun! As I’ve said before, people overwork their abs, thinking that excessive ab workouts will give them a six-pack. This is unequivocally false. The only thing that will ever get you a six-pack is some hard ass work in the kitchen, not the gym. Be prepared to trek down a long, […]
Workout Playlist #43
1) Clean Bandit – Rather Be Why not start out with a funky dance track? This one is getting a lot of play on the radio lately, but it somewhat smacks of the 80’s to me. 2) Catfish and the Bottlemen – Kathleen The award for most cumbersome band name goes to Catfish and the Bottlemen, but […]
What’s in my Gym Bag – 2015 Edition
Way back in May of 2013, I did a post on what was in my gym bag. I figured it was time for an update, since I know you are all sitting on the edge of your seats, anxiously awaiting updates about all the smelly equipment I lug around with me. Ask, and ye shall […]
Workout Playlist #42
1) Big Data – Dangerous This infectious 70’s-inspired groove has just enough funk to it to get your workout off to a good start. 2) Breaking Benjamin – I Will Not Bow And now for something completely different! 3) U2 – The Miracle (of Joey Ramone) I mean, if you’ve bought a new iPhone recently, […]

Do: Tell me if I’m about to hurt myself. One time, when I was at my old gym, a young gentleman of about my age came up to me while I was on the squat rack and informed me that I in fact had a five-pound plate on one side of my bar, and a […]
Leg Workout for Definition
So we’re all squatting. (You are squatting, aren’t you? You’ll love it, I promise!) And squats are great, both for strength gains and for aesthetic gains. But maybe you really just want to focus on nice light weight and high reps and not worry about strength gains today. Or maybe you have a knee that […]
Workout Playlist #41
1) Metallica – Fuel Metallica will start your workout off with fuel, fire, and – dare I say it? – that which you desire. 2) twenty one pilots – Guns For Hands I love how, just when you think you know exactly where the downbeat is coming, twenty one pilots surprises you again. 3) Rise […]
Chest/Tricep Combo Workout!
Don’t neglect your pecs! When you work chest, you are usually also engaging your triceps, which are a secondary muscle to your pectorals. The triceps are also the muscles that make your arms look swole – NOT your biceps. The bicep only has two heads – BIcep, two heads, get it? But the tricep has […]
Workout Playlist #40
1) Quiet Riot – Cum on Feel The Noize This (vastly superior) cover of a Slade song will get you super pumped for your workout! 2) Nico & Vinz – Am I Wrong One of the few songs currently on the top 40 that sounds like it actually had some thought put into it. 3) […]
