I tend to agree with other members on all sorts of things, but this is where I always disagree. Sure steroids are a relatively victimless crime (of course excluding the person using them), but I feel that it creates an unfair image that dwarfs normal bodybuilders like Robert. I guess I pretty much consider it "cheating." BTW, sorry to whoever started this post for going off topic. You can always look in Muscle and Fitness mags for a bunch of huge guys.

Thanks for the advice everybody. Seems to be helping already. I really appreciate it. My newest problem is that my forearms will sometimes get sore for days after I work my biceps. Any ideas on what this might be?

Well . . . my biceps are driving me crazy. It seems like no matter what I do, they just wont grow any more. I've made quite a bit of progress since I started working out, but I'm still no where near where I want to be. I've been doing bicep curls, low row, preacher curls, hammer curls, pull ups, chin ups, lat pull down . . . Is there some miracle exercise out there that I should be doing? Something that is very frustrating is that when I work out my biceps, they don't get sore or tight like my legs/abbs/chest do when I work out. Is this normal? What does get sore and tight, are my forearms. Does this mean that I'm doing something wrong? Thx, Drew

Their logo "Tired of Being Tired?" made me really want their product, not to mention lance armstrong endorses it. Just wondering if it works and how people feel about it. Thx, Drew

I figured that they aren't natural and they take a bunch of drugs, but are they all legal?

Do they test for steroids before the competitions?

There really weren't any exercises in particular that I was planning. I'll probably end up looking for something else, but I'm running out of room for anything big.

Has anyone used this http://www.proform.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product2_12401_10301_71801_-1_19556 or any other weight vests. I would prefer a heavier one, but they cost a fortune. Are weight vests primarily used to burn extra fat or build extra muscle? Or both? Thanks, Drew

Thanks. I'm not raw. I just started using a protein powder and It's alright. I'm trying to eat more raw fruits and veggies, but I'm already getting sick of them.

I always hear people saying that lots of pro bodybuilders get their body fat down to single digits. I don't know if I want to go that far, but any suggestions? Is it about more cardio or a better diet? It seems to be the only way to naturally get protein, means you also get lots of fat (like in nuts).

Ya, it looks good.

Nice work!

lol. Wow. I had no idea this much thought went into getting a bike or this much money. I mean, holy crap, $500 sounds like a lot to me, but I'm certainly not someone to go buy. I usually buy my bikes at k-mart

lol. livedandlost, you live in CT too? What part?

lol. yeah. optical illusions . . . the best kind . . . jk.

I don't know how you all spend that ammt. on food. How many people does this food feed?

For me, my mom, dad, and brother, it comes out around $1,000 a month . . .

Tj Maxx. I just got a bunch of great work out shirts that are just like under armor. They were only $3 each and I love them! I don't know the brand, but there is a small 8 in the upper corner of the chest on them.

Just curious. I recently picked up an application at my local volunteer fire dept. and I was wondering if anyone could give me a general idea of what would be required.
