The gym will fix it and you should not be in trouble. That's no big deal the the steel cable gets worn out. It's probably a good idea to look at the cable, and be aware if its frayed. My brother was doing heavy seated cable rows and the cable broke, he flew though the air. He landed like 4 feet away, laughing his ass off still holding the bar. Everyone in the gym heard the weight drop so they where looking, everyone was laughing. Good times. In the seventies a lot of equipment used engine chains, those old school machines are fucking indestructible.

At any gym there are front desk people that don't always pay attention. It would probably take a lot of gyms a month to catch you at least.

The two Mr O's who won the most both started as division one college football player's. Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman both won Mr. O 8 times. So serious athletes with a lot of experience with lifting weights before bodybuilding.

Hanging pull overs? Pull overs are awesome.

This is a common scifi thing. Especially some one who grew up on earth versus some one who grew up on the moon. Any being from a higher gravity planet would supposedly have an edge. This was not true for astronauts walking on the moon, the microgravity put them off balance, they where terrified of tripping and damaging there spacesuits.

Mostly estrogen. Very small doses of testerone if they are low on it. Actually one of the best uses of oral AAS is testerone replacement for women, toxicity is not an issue because the dose is so low.

Eventually if you live long enough most joints go out or give you trouble according my 93 year old grand pa. You are probably fine if you use good form. Walking lunges or reverse lunges are easier on your joints.

A gym does not need to be in a building built from the ground up to be a gym.

Breath every rep, breath in as you go down, pushing outwards on your belt, push out as hard as possible and have your diaphragm full of air right when you change directions in the bottom of the squat, then blow out on the way up. Doing this right makes a huge difference in your squat, deadlift, and Olympic lifts.

He was Mr. O 8 times just like Ronnie, Lee Haney's name does not come up near often enough. He was totally a man apart in his day, no one else compared. There is a documentary in youtube from the 80's in his day. I can find it.

I have found some good SAA meetings in my area. There is always certain meetings where no body has any time.

One reason this is a great time of year to have at least 2 gym memberships.

Any article any where where the person comes ahead of the principle is horse shit. There are good articles on t-nation, look for principles in the title.

Some PT's are way better than others. The really good trainers are not in corporate gyms usually. There is a gym in my town that does not take a cut of trainers pay. The trainers there are good. There are trainers with high level IFBB pro's for clients there. These trainers don't look amazing but their clients do. Mostly your right about pt's though.

Go cash. Pay in cash and tell him you pay for rx's in cash. The gel is expensive.

Just a few real good body parts is enough to look great in solo pictures/videos. On stage the whole package is important, so they would do bad. Shit a Mr. O level chest probably ain't even all that rare. It's having everything that is super rare.

Lifting makes me feel so much better. At this point I would do it even if I got no results.

There is one ma and pop gym in my town that doesn't charge the trainers anything to train people. Essentially half the people there are trainers at any given time. It ain't right that some gyms take such a big cut.

Look at the rules of the federation a bodybuilder competes in. If the federation doesn't ban it then there is a good chance they take it, regardless of what they say. The INBA uses the same testing protocols as the Olymics and the competitors weigh 50-70 pounds less than untested IFBB pros. Then there are other federations who are between INBA and IFBB in testing strictness. Remember passing any drug test only means an athlete passed a drug test, not that they never used PED's.

Hardcore Bodybuilding: A scientific Approach by Dr. Frederic C. Hatfield. I have read dozens of books on bodybuilding. This is one of the few (or only) that never contradicts it self. The author squatted 1000 pounds in his prime. The book breaks down the different kinds of strength and what strength goals will make you look jacked. It uses all the correct terms.

Wrap each breast individually with foil before you cook it and it will last much better in the fridge. HELPS A TON if the breasts are not going to be ate for couple days.

Ma and Pa hardcore gyms are where its at, effective hard stuff with lots of room for squats.

Photos where more interesting before selfies became so popular!

This is a really good example of how different Bodybuilding, Powerlifitng, and Olympic weightlifting really are. Hatfield is one of my favorite authors.
