This summer me (I'm from Ga and have never been to NJ) and my bro uncle (lives in Hawaii, 42 yrs old, slays slame pieces in teens and 20's and partially retired) are renting out a house in Ocean City, NJ and are...  Keep Reading »

It's time to hit the treadmill, shotgun a beer, and toast a group of Spanish researchers, who found that beer hydrates you better than water. Seriously, it's only a matter of time before your local gym starts offering you a brew instead of Gatorade after a grueling workout.

In June, Science magazine published a report in which 25 student subjects ran at peak levels on treadmills in extreme heat. After their run half were given plain old H20 to drink and the other half were given two pints each of beer. The researchers compared all of the student's hydration levels, motor skills, and their ability to concentrate. Turns out the beer drinkers had a "slightly better" hydration level due to the sugars, salts, and bubbles in beer that allow the body to absorb water. Another bonus was carbohydrates in beer help to refill calorie deficits lost from strenuous exercise.  Keep Reading »

While pumping iron last night at my local New York Sports Club -- between the bouts of gawking at cute little vixens, thinking about things I'd rather be doing (coitus with said vixens) and actually working out -- something dawned on me. Every single gym I have ever been too is exactly the same. Sure the facilities and machinery may differ, but the patrons are all eerily similar.

Even though I am a personal trainer (non-practicing), I still only go to the gym because I am programmed too, not because I love doing it. While I'm there, all I want is solitude, a freshly Windex'd mirror, my music and whatever malice-filled thoughts I need to get through it. Unfortunately for me, other people exist, so this heavenly scenario is impossible. Below is a list of some of the people that I sadly keep finding at every gym I have ever gone too.

(Side Note: This does not apply to anyone who works out in a home gym, unless of course, you suffer from severe schizophrenia.)

1. The Playa: This guy usually is in pretty good shape, although you rarely see him doing any actual exercises. Instead he spends the majority of his time trying to hit on females by way of correcting their form or asking if he can "work in." If it were socially acceptable, this guy would walk around sporting an all-out boner with a 25 lb. plate hanging from it.  Keep Reading »

Picking up a girl at the gym is like scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef -- it's thrilling, challenging, and a little dangerous all at the same time. The colors are mesmerizing, the energy is lively, and there's an air of mystery that comes with unchartered territory. Despite the abundance of gorgeous visuals, be careful Bros, one wrong move and you could end up ripped to shreds.

Gyms are intimidating places, especially for women. They encourage us to scrutinize our body and find fault with our appearance. And for the most part, no normal woman feels hot at the gym. Florescent lighting makes us feel pale, floor to ceiling mirrors only highlight our imperfections, and sweat? Well, let's just say it's not exactly an aphrodisiac. That said, Bros, if you can work your magic and make us feel sexy in such a vulnerable state, there's a good chance you'll be able to see us all hot and bothered again -- without the elliptical machine.

Before you decide to walk up to a girl and entice her with your mojo, take inventory of your gym wardrobe. Avoid wearing anything too tight, short, or sweat-stained. And while you're at it, leave the Hypercolor tees and sweatbands in the '90s where they belong. Solid colored tee shirts and track pants look best. As always, make sure you smell nice, clean up the scruff, and throw a little product in your hair.  Keep Reading »

There's nothing worse than watching couples that work out together. What bro in his right mind would wanna go to the gym with his girlfriend and work out together? I was at the gym this morning and saw this couple...  Keep Reading »
