The gym makes me spew, why?

[ManDownUnder]

I, for instance, have about a 2km running range before the inside of my thighs start to bleed from grating against each other. Lycra shorts it is.

And cycling presents the same problem vis-a-vis the groin area no matter how fat or thin the rider may be.

My god you know how to turn me on ...

A good legs day is when you get carried to the changing rooms - to throw up again.
Go hard man. As hard as you can for 3 or 4 days in a row, and then don't go for another 6 months. Repeat as often as necessessary until you give up and sell your membership.

It's all true. I have a photo somewhere of Arnie chowing down on a roast chicken and a pint of lager post-workout.

Seroiusly, I started at the gym 6 weeks ago, best thing I did was get a personal trainer....well worth it!!! At least you know what you are doing is correct and wont stuff your body! And they are good at pushing you but not quite enough to make you puke

Yep very wise move!, PT's are great for assisting and pushing you safely to reach your goals quicker.

Texmo is a mate so I'm giving him free training and advice. Hopefully starting this Saturday.

Remember this Tex, machines are for the girls.. you'll know what i mean in a few years.. make sure you deadlift and eat shitloads.

i'd hate to see you end up like the rest of the homos..

Whenever I feel like I need exercise, I lie down till the feeling passes.

Oye sonny- deadlifts or squats are NOT meant for newbies unless performed under supervision!!!!

Go see Fishy - he strikes me as a chap with personal training experience. Get him to show you some moves.

AND PLEASE - DON'T APPLY YOUR ATTITUDE TO RACING TO STRENGTH TRAINING. I've seen while riding you crash at almost every trackday/raceday from pushing it - try that cowboy stuff in the gym and you'll break something that can't be welded up or duct taped.

Go see Fishy and let him take you through a program.

Training is only 33.33 percent of the situation, the other 33.33 is eating and the remaining 33.33 comes from getting good rest and having a positive attitude towards your goals.

sorry mate.. i learnt from watching, and with out a trainer.. it's one of the very few that doesn't require technique to lift your max. For example, i was lifting 200+ (which is not much) within six months.

keep your back straight and you'll be sweet.

Squats, i agree on. correct form is needed.

Bench, deadlifts, shoulder press and squats is what "newbies" should be doing to build mass first.. after a few years then use machines to look prety like the girls..

Really?? Deadlifts if not done properly - i.e lift with your legs first can wreak havoc on your lower back. I've lifted twice my bodyweight before - it was hard but fun, took a break and my strength dropped. Can only doing about 150% of my bodyweight now - should reach 200% by very early next year or sooner.

I think one can get away without using machines. But that's just me.

We should catch up for a ride soon-.

[Colapop]

Each to their own. Some people thrive on machines, some on free weights, some even get a whole garage full of TV machines! Just do do what ever works for you. If you haven't tried a gym before, use a personal trainer even if it is only once a month to keep you on track. The main thing is to take your time. Nothing will happen in a week or two. Expect to 'see' results in 3-6 months.

Shows how much you know. You have seen ride how many times on the track? and when did you say you saw me pushing it?

[The_Dover]
