Rehab workout regimen
Posted by in Exercise on September 19, 2012
So, as I mentioned previously, I’m doing a modified version of Madcow’s with machines until I am cleared to lift like a big boy again. Well, I expected to actually be on this for up to a year, but this morning my surgeon cleared me to squat and deadlift again, so this will be the […]
Final Gym Review–NET Fitness
So, after checking out Gold’s Gym and Muscle House Gym, I decided to try out the gym that I was originally thinking of just skipping: NET Fitness. The reason I was thinking of passing on it was kind of shallow, but it shows how much a first impression matters. When I walked into the place, […]
Gym Review–Muscle House Gym
Continuing from the previous review of Gold’s, the next Gym I checked out was Muscle House Gym, near downtown Gilroy. Muscle House is pretty much diametrically opposed to Gold’s. Where Gold’s is your typical, up-scale, big-box chain gym, Muscle House is more or less the personal gym of Dave Camacho, an amateur bodybuilder turned gym-owner […]
Gym Review – Gold’s Gym
Well, the first week of trying out commercial gyms here in Gilroy is done, and after spending a week lifting in Gold’s, I have a few things to say about it. First and foremost, the signup process for the one week free trial is simple and quick. You basically go to the main Gold’s Gym […]
Injury Update, First Track Run in the GT500, Other Random Stuff
Posted by in Automotive, Exercise on August 17, 2012
Well, this week was the first week I was allowed to do ‘limited training’, which basically means nothing that loads my cervical spine. Since I am really concerned about breaking the instrumentation (screws and the titanium plate) loose, I stuck with benching alone this week. On that front, things felt mostly good. I had some […]
Which is Better for Increasing Strength: 1, 4 or 8 Sets Per Exercise?
Interesting research review that examines a study that not only tracked strength differences but also mass differences on identical regimens of squats (only differing in sets performed) with three groups of previously trained lifters. The results are pretty interesting. Not that I’m strongly considering switching to squatting 8×8 two times a week, but doing 5×5 […]
Four Rookie Lifting Mistakes, and a Simple Guide to Success
Posted by in Exercise on June 1, 2012
This is an article that’s been floating around in my head for over a year now, as I’ve seen people , over and over, despair over their inability to have any major success at lifting. In some cases, these folk just started, but in others, they have perhaps been lifting for years and still haven’t […]

Injury Update: Now with more MRIs!
Take heed, boys and girls, here there be some foul language. Turn back if you offend easily. Well, now it’s settled: I’ve officially fucked myself up good and proper. As I told my office mate upon finding out the prognosis and degree of my injury, evidently I can’t do anything half-assed, even fucking myself up. […]
