25 dollars.

Everyday the world tries to get you to spend at least 25 dollars on something. Here are just a few things that cost 25 dollars.

-2 person meal and tip at TGIF’s
-2-3 drinks at a bar with tip
-half a tank of gas in a SUV
-24 pack of paper towels
-plain tank top
-2 packages of gourmet coffee
-The chance to help save someones life and over 800 pages of some of the best training, nutrition, and rehab information you can find.

I bring up the last point because it was recently the anniversary of Liftstrong.  A  product where you get over 800 pages of goodies. The best part is that 100%, not some, but all proceeds go to help aid in research for cancer.

I fucking hate cancer.

Apparently I am more of a loner in this than I thought.

See, I have a emailing list. Any self respectful guru wannabe has a email list.

I try to provide my list with helpful information and updates about what I am doing. I have talked to over 1000+ people personally on that list. I assure you that is not normal. I genuinely care about what I send my list of readers.

I am also signed up on other people’s email lists. You know, to spy. To see what the competition is up to, to find out about the latest crazes, and to check up on what that bastard Mike Robertson is doing. Are you on his list by the way? I would link you but I don’t want to divert your attention just yet, but after you are done with all of this go sign up.

When the anniversary of Liftstrong came up I got asked to  get the word out. I didn’t give it a 2nd thought. I had nothing to gain either. I am not even on the damn thing. You think they would have done a 2nd edition. Just so I could have make an appearance. Maybe a video with me hugging the “fuck cancer” bear or something, but no.

In my humble state I did what anyone else should have done in that situation, I swallowed my pride, and I sent out the word to help fight cancer. You know, cancer, that shit that is killing millions of people we love everyday.

For a brief moment or two, I felt warm, and good about what I had done for the world.  Then I got bitter because I noticed that only me and a few other people had the same enthusiasm to help. It’s funny I kept getting emails about my abs, and flying lessons (because that is relevant to ab training), but no cancer support.

I am not going to jump to any conclusions…yet.

Hopefully they didn’t know about it. So now, this is where YOU are going to help me. I want you to let them know about it. You are going to share how much you would love to know about something like this.

Your assignment

I want to you send a message to all the gurus that you are subscribed to, and let them know that you want their support for Liftstrong. Ask them if they could send an email out or post up a blog.  I have made it even easier on you and am providing you with a pre-written email.

“Dear (enter 6 pack ab toting guru name here)

I have been a member of your email list for a long time now. While I do enjoy all the daily emails about how to look massively sexy, I feel the need for a little more substance today.

Recently, I stumbled over to the Flzine site and read a blog post by the amazing (and might I say highly underrated and talented) Leigh Peele.  It was discussing this great product, Liftstrong, in which all proceeds go to cancer. I hadn’t gotten any emails about that from you, and was wondering if you knew about? I think it would be great for you to send out to your list of readers, and also it will not lump you into a category of douches and vagina’s that shaft cancer research. Wouldn’t want that!

Here is the link to the Liftstrong site.

http://www.liftstrong.com/

Looking forward to seeing the email.

(Your Name Here)”

Don’t assume that someone else is going to do it. Even if you can’t buy the product yourself, take just 3 mins to copy and paste that on a blog you visit, or to email them personally.

I am going to be making the rounds tomorrow and I better see this any and everywhere I look on a blog. Even if you aren’t sure if they mailed it out, do it. Some people might NOT have known, and we really don’t want them lumped in with those others guys now, do we?

After you have spread the word, hop over to the Liftstrong site yourself and get an awesome gift and support the research that might change peoples lives.

Ridiculous Photoshop of the Week: Oh SHAPE, you just don’t know what you’re doing, do you? Danica obviously prides herself on looking great, as evidenced by her photoshoots for Sports Illustrated, but she must be Houdini to get her stomach to look like this. That takes special talent, or a really horrible plastic surgeon with a liposuction machine.

OMG! Dieting Advice!: No carbs! Orange Juice as a cheat food! OMG! Maybe someone needs to tell these women that they’re not looking great because of the lack of carbohydrates but rather that they have great genetics and dance five to six hours a day. But that’s no fun, is it? I mean, who wants to actually, you know, sweat and all that nasty stuff. Sweat stinks.

Ridiculous Car Crash of the Week: Courtesy of Carl Edwards. Gotta love the Ricky Bobby synergy as the first thing Edwards wanted to do after he got out of the car was to run across the finish line. Hopefully this inspires NASCAR to incorporate Le Mans starts in the All-Star race sometime in the future. Just penalize the drivers if they run over someone who hasn’t gotten to his car yet. That’ll make sure nothing happens…

Ridiculous Wave Riding of the Week: Even though the wave has already crested and disappeared. Really, Men’s Health? Really? You’re still getting mileage out of this one? I just emailed them and told them that I had this new workout called “Pilates” (named after Pontius Pilate of course) that I think has a chance to really catch on. Wish me luck!

OMG! Swine Flu!: Didn’t we go through this shit like 30 years ago? We’re still here, aren’t we?

OMG! Anorexia!: Um… yeah, she’s too skinny. According to the NSCA CSCS textbook, denial is a sign of an eating disorder, so she’s definitely got one. For the record, I would like to say that I don’t barf after meals either.

OMG! Morons!: I don’t care what Kim Kardashian’s talking butt has to say about Miss California, and I don’t care about what Perez Hilton has to say either. However, this girl is more famous for saying what she did than the girl that actually won the damn competition. Those beauty pageant contestants; they’re always one step ahead of the rest of us.

OMG! Morons! Pt II: Miss California got her tits paid for by the pageant. I bet that wasn’t supposed to be part of this media barrage.

Editors note: Upon further talks FLzine believes that Miss California’s boobs were part of the protection from falling gays. It seems that Miss California is working with giantgayrepllentumbrella.com and that her boobs are apart of the project.

Random Non Fitness Thought of the Week: Thoughts go out to the family of David Poole. Poole was the best in the business, and is going to be sadly missed. NASCAR fans are going to be a little less educated now. (bada bump)

OMG! Science!: First off, I hope that no one is going around like some Africans and knowingly spreading AIDS. Secondly, don’t listen to this guy for AIDS prevention tips. I can’t figure out what’s funnier, the fact that he thinks that AIDS cells can osmosis themselves through a condom, or the glass and strainer example for a vagina and a condom.

Ridiculous 11 Year Research Project of the Week: Well, you gotta give her props for perseverance if nothing else. And she’s not isolating muscle groups people, she’s targeting accessory muscles. That’s COMPLETELY different. And that leg over the cabinet deal? Well, it’s great for those of us with lower ab problems “and all that.” Sweetness. I will say, water containers project an infinitely tougher image than the pink dumbbells do.

Ridiculous Baseball Preview of the Week: Men’s Fitness needs to stick with, you know, fitness. (Yes, I realize that would eliminate 70% of the magazine) There’s too much to rip apart in one paragraph, so I’ll just stick to his Phillies blurb. 1. Way to go out on a limb there, Mitch, picking your former employer and reigning World Series champions as a “team to watch.” 2. The fact that they have a good closer is not the reason they won the World Series. There are eight innings of baseball played before the last one. 3. The Phillies won the World Series despite Charlie Manuel’s bizarre lineup management.

Ridiculous Teaser of the Week: Also from MF, the write up for this interview with David Banner says that you can see how he drops five pounds a week. Apparently “see” is a synonym for “vague description.” I must admit, I do want to sculpt myself up though.

Editors note: We had no idea who David Banner was. Apparently he is a rapper turned Biggest Loser wannabe based upon this video.

Ridiculous List of the Week: Are you wired to cheat? For number three, I suggest creating a color coded chart, much like the Department of Homeland Security did. Every girl (guy) you see corresponds to the chart. Green, or “low” means that the girl (guy) is ugly, and you didn’t even do an ass check. Blue, or “guarded” means that you made sure—on the off chance that something happened—you had a condom in your wallet (purse). Yellow or “elevated” means that you started to, well, elevate. (sorry, I got nothing for the ladies.) Orange, or “high” is along that same wavelength. And as for red or “severe” you’re already in full-on grope and dry hump mode, the authorities have been called, and much like in a terrorist attack, your life as you know it is now over.

Random Non Fitness Thought of the Week: Directv are geniuses. By giving me every baseball game free for this week they’ve almost convinced me to put down $190 for this luxury for the entire season. And the week has just begun. I’m in trouble.

OMG! Steroids!: This investigative report from Kansas City’s NBC affiliate is groundbreaking. Of over 36,000 high school students surveyed in Kansas, guess how many are taking steroids. I’ll wait. What’s that? 2,000? No, go lower. 1,000? Nope. 322. Yes, 322. Or roughly 0.8 percent of students. And in Johnson County, a suburban county in Kansas, an average of FOUR(!!!!!!!!!) students are juicing. (and, as the reporter said, they threw in fake questions so they KNOW that number is accurate). Well shiver me timbers and tie me up, this needs to be stopped! Ban steroids! If this steroid story took up three minutes of the news, imagine the hour long special report on marijuana use in high schools.

OMG! New fitness words!: Calorie burnability. (Yes, it’s from the same affiliate, and yes, there truly was a story telling you that one exercise burns 10 calories more per half hour than another one does. And yes, that trainer sure looked like he was clueless and/or bullshitting)

Ridiculous airbrushing of the week: When you’re going to airbrush someone, you might want to do it before you post the pictures online for the interwebz to catch.

Ridiculous ridiculousness of the week: So when you’re dumb enough to take back the dude who beat the crap out of you, what do you do for protection? If you’re Rihanna, you get guns. Or more specifically, tattoos of guns. Seriously, she needs help.

Ridiculous excuse of the week: So now I can blame my every-other-minute usage of the word “fuck” on the economy? Those are some fucking brilliant mother fuckers who thought of this fucking idea. But wait! There’s this: “If you can’t get through one paragraph without swearing, then you need to get a dictionary and starting expanding your vocabulary. It might also be a red flag that you have some anger issues that you need to get a grip on.” Well fuck me.

Ridiculously good looking ballpark food of the week: The four pound burger. When I first saw the $20 price tag, I thought that it was really expensive. But if a double cheeseburger (roughly a ¼ pounder) at McDonald’s is $1, it’s really not that much of a ripoff in relation to ballpark food. And I’m going to wager that the first person to eat it all is skinny. For some reason, fat people can’t eat under pressure and on a time limit. Have you ever seen a (good) fat competitive eater?

Shane video of the week: Shane takes on Timbaland.

Random non fitness thought of the week: Steak and Shake has half-price shakes from 2-4 PM. You can thank me later.

Internet Fight of the Week: I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the epic throwdown between Lyle and Leigh. Just look at the haymakers! My offer still stands of free registration to the 2009 JPFitness Summit to whomever wants to bro-down with Leigh in person over the quiz. However, I don’t think anyone will come, and in-person bro-downs are such a letdown from internet ones because the parties involved are usually 20 lbs heavier, considerably uglier and infinitely more socially awkward than they portend themselves to be.

Ridiculous Magazine Cover of the Week: John Cena is on the cover of Muscle and Fitness. First off, his movie looks terrible. Secondly, what kind of finishing move is the five knuckle shuffle? That wouldn’t hurt a midget. At least the diamond-cutter has the remote possibility of knocking someone out. Thirdly, did he really just say he has always been “naturally strong” and that he didn’t use steroids? Come on Congress, it’s time to give wrestling the baseball treatment. Or maybe it’s the magic jorts?

Ridiculous Insinuation of the Week: Also from Men’s Fitness. I will say that a “I’m white so this is very uncomfortable for me” pickup line could be gold if coupled with a pit-stained plaid button down shirt and ill fitting khakis. (Anyone else pick up on the “When I was younger, I wouldn’t become friends with a guy until after we were already at it,” and the “”When a woman is too easy, men lose interest really fast,” quotes?)

Article That Should Never Have Been Written of the Week: What the fuck? Who feels that this is so groundbreaking that it deserves a “spotlight?” And apparently they were afraid to type “masturbate” into google. Nothing like getting pwned about dick grabbing.

Stupid Lede That Should Never Have Been Written of the Week: If this was written about a male athlete, would she be writing about his dick size? I realize that sex is always going to be a selling point in women’s sports, but articles like this do nothing to legitimize women’s basketball. And if a man wrote this, he’d have his perverted ass fired over charges of sexism.

Random Non Fitness Thought of the Week: My dog chased down and killed his first squirrel this week. My baby is growing up. I am so proud.

Editors note: *Is uncomfortable knowing that.*

Ridiculous Exercise Routine of the Week: Muscle & Fitness has a new routine this month that promises amazing gains in two weeks. So what is it? 100 rep sets. They bullshit their way through the reasons that 100 rep sets are the greatest thing since last month’s issue, and that one 100 rep exercise per bodypart is all you need. However, you’re not going hard enough if you can go the whole way through without stopping. Optimally, you’re going to have to stop after about 70 reps, rest 30-40 seconds, and then finish the set. THAT’S TWO SETS, MORONS. Next time someone asks to work in with you on the pec deck, tell them that you’ve got one set left, even though you may have to rest every eight reps or so. Just tell them that you’re following M&F’s guidelines and give them that all-knowing wink. They’ll patiently wait. Trust me.

Ridiculous Online Photo Gallery of the Week: Maxim’s 10 hottest vegetarians. Pam Anderson #6? Really? Pssst, it’s 2009.

NSCA Textbook Lesson of the Week: When doing a back squat to parallel, the top of your thighs must break 90 degrees. According to the picture, when doing a front squat to parallel, just get your hamstrings in the remote vicinity of parallel and call it a day. Also, when supervising someone doing a barbell step-up onto a box, if the client is of the opposite sex, place your hands on their obliques, but make sure not to grasp firmly, much like you would the fat kid you reluctantly slow danced with in sixth grade to avoid being one of the few people alone in the corner.

Dancing With The Stars Update of the Week: Sadly, Jewel’s steroids couldn’t fix her broken legs, so there won’t have to be an asterisk on the Disco Ball Trophy. Oh, and Steve-O’s partner has an incredible APT. I bet she would give Mike Robertson a correctivegasm.

OMG! Steroids!: Apparently, Brian McNamee kept needles that he stuck in Roger Clemens’ ass in a box in his basement. Upon hearing the news, Brazzers.com made plans to start reaching the previously untapped syringe-fetish market.

Treadmill Desk for $20 My Ass: I click on the link for the $20 treadmill desk wondering “how the hell is Leigh going to make a treadmill for $20?” And so I read the article, and ohhh, you already have to have a flipping treadmill. WTF? If FLzine is really going to be groundbreaking, it needs to have $20 treadmills. Not $20 craft projects that you put on your already $400 piece of equipment. (Mad props for shopping at Home Depot though. If there would have been pictures of Lowe’s I would have firebombed this site.)

Fitness Video of the Week: Shane’s workout part two. With more weight!

Random Non Fitness Thought of the Week: Friday Night Lights is the best show on television. It’s not like you have a life anyway, so when you’re at home and bored on Friday, turn it to NBC at 9/8 CT. You’ll thank me later.

The gym I go to can hardly be considered “hardcore.” Hell, I have to drive 15 minutes to go to one with a squat rack. The clientele is far from hardcore too. There’s a fair amount of senior citizens, a bunch of people who only use the treadmill or the elliptical, and of course, a few bros to make things interesting. However, there aren’t any roided out freaks—at least none that I’ve seen recently—so I found it a bit odd to find FLEX magazine in the magazine rack next to Kelly Ripa and Helen Mirren.

Like an onlooker to a car crash, I had to look. And I had already been thinking of doing a magazine “review” series for FLzine, so why not start with the April (WTF?) issue? I calmly slid it under my sweatshirt as I left (yeah, it wouldn’t have surprised me to be chastised for taking a magazine, so I had to be careful) and started to “read” it when I got home. Boy, was it fantastic.

–Apparently Ronnie Coleman is coming back. I honestly had no idea he left. The cover also boasts 432 pages (at least half of which are supplement ads), 72 workouts and 124 exercises. But then at the bottom it says that it contains five programs to get big and strong. Therefore, the five programs must contain 72 workouts. Brilliant!

–If Joe Weider just turned 88 and is a “Trainer of Champions” since 1936, he’s been training champions since he was 15. Just look at all the training principles he’s invented!

–Flex Lewis’s (who?) travels are chronicled because it was apparently the trip from hell. “After a 15-hour flight to London Heathrow Airport, security saw fit to confiscate his most prized possession: his food.” From now on, I’m calling steroids “food.”

–On the steroid denial note, what continuously cracks me up is the impression given off that these juice monsters are huge because of the Volumaize they took 15 minutes pre-workout.

–Juice Monkey Jay Cutler says that if he was on American Idol, he’d sing “…Baby One More Time.” I’m so inviting him to the summit.

(Alan “bro” Aragon featuring Nick “lil bro” Bromberg”)

–Mary Lado gives us a guide to New Orleans. One of her six places to go is a movie theater. The rebuilding process must not be going well.

–Hydroxycut Hardcore has a five star rating system for fat burners. However, only those that are given one star are considered “a complete rip off posing as a fat burner.” We give this 1.5 stars.

–There’s an ad that says “GET MORE” on the top, with a fitness model in the doggy-style position with her ass to the camera. Hmmm…

–Chulsey Graham’s thigh routine is revealed! He does four sets each of smith squats, leg presses, leg curls and leg extensions. (I swear I’m not making this up.) He feels that higher reps build size, endurance and greater separation in his thighs. I think I sense Leigh’s next program!

–Dorian Yates says that his narrow hips and longish legs are better suited for leg presses and smith machine squats. I mean, who are we to argue? He’s only a six time Mr. Olympia.

–FLEX did a “study” which found that one arm dumbbell rows let you move more weight than bent over barbell rows. However, there was no mention of the fact that in the one arm row version they’re referencing YOU FUCKING USE YOUR OFF ARM FOR SUPPORT!

–Jenn Gates sculpts each muscle to blend in perfectly with every other muscle. Email me if you have any idea what that means.

–FLEX’s fast fix meal of the month is a 382 calorie chicken wrap from Sonic. Seriously, if you’re training to get hyoooge, who the fuck is going to eat one of those for a meal?

–Oreo thin crisps are now an acceptable PWO snack. Hell yeah!

–Is Ronnie Coleman the best bodybuilder of all time? I have no idea, but I’m leaning towards yes, because not many roided out freaks can pull of the Moses look, complete with a cardboard Ten Commandments Tablet.

–Juice Monkey Cutler says that focusing on barbell movements lost his separation and made his waist wider. Poor guy. But on the bright side, he doesn’t hump up his barbell rows anymore. Good thing, I don’t want to see him humping anything.

–Actually, the 20 tips to get ripped aren’t all that bad. Sure, the frequent meal theory may be bullshit, as are five or six other tips in the article, but on the whole, it’s probably the best thing in the magazine.

–FLEX lists the top 10 heavies hitters of the UFC, still putting Chuck Liddell at #4 despite sucking and being old. It must be the painted toenails.

–“Within seconds of your very first dose of ANABOLIC HALO, you’ll feel a chilling avalanche hit the back of your throat. Then you know it has begun… your most dramatic musclebuilding transformation ever.” I’m just leaving that one alone.

–“For example, I never got my shoulders separated by doing an hour and a half on the treadmill. SO I realized I was going to have to do cardio for each bodypart. That means light weight and lots of reps, because that’s what cardio is.” Holy shit! So that’s what the pink dumbbells are for!

–More goodness from Moe el Moussawi: “When I flex my (blank), I always feel it more than for any other bodypart, as if it’s a natural gift. That means I always get a good pump in it. That’s what makes the muscle grow. I’m hoping to get my whole body to do that.”

–Admit it, you thought he was talking about his weiner and not his arms.

–“Caffeine delivers actual energy to the body by inducing fat stores to release fat to burn for fuel. This reduces the size of your love handles.” If that’s truly the case, then why are the people who order the double quarter pounder value meal—super sized—with a Diet Coke not ripped to shreds? And I drink 40-60 oz of Coke Zero and coffee a day. Why can’t I see my abs?

–Awww, five pages later it says you can build up a tolerance to caffeine. Damn you FLEX, I just shotgunned three Coke Zeros. Now I’m going to have to pee.

–If “Vitrix promotes a dramatic increase in your natural testosterone production so you can have the best sex you ever had,” will it work in the weight room too? I think they’ve severely mismanaged their marketing strategy.

–Why is FLEX putting out a guide for hardgainers? The only people in this freaking magazine with normal male testosterone ratios are the women.

–The 2009 NPC Bikini Division Guidelines state that all swimsuits must be in good taste. Apparently that provision isn’t written into the Mr. Olympia rules.

–“Female bodybuilding has long endured mixed reviews from those who consider bulk and sensuality to be an oxymoron. Bergmann and German-born Anja Langer are offered as examples of women whose lines and looks invoked the standard male responses to a sexy woman.”

–Next month’s issue promises to follow Silvio Samuel for an entire day so no one would ever have to stay up at night wondering what he ate. Methinks there’s going to be some edits.

First off, thanks for reading, or at least reading my first sentence before realizing that you wanted to read Mike Robertson’s section instead. No hard feelings.

Secondly, I want to tell a little about what you can expect from my section. Sometimes it will have a lot to do with fitness. Sometimes, it will have very little to do with fitness, and a lot of times it will fall somewhere in between. Leigh’s told me that I can say anything I want (FLzine.com SUCKS!) and I promise that at one point or another you will at least be slightly offended by something I write. (Of course, that’s entirely dependent on your continued readership. I sincerely hope that my section will become a regular stop on this series of tubes for you. With the way things are going right now, the least I can do is distract you for a few minutes) I’m often irreverent and politically incorrect, but I promise to attempt to try my best to be tactful. Honest.

Anyway, let’s get it on.

Ridiculous Airbrush of the Week: Did anyone see Julia-Louis Dreyfus on the cover of Shape magazine?

What the fuck? Someone photoshopped the abs of Zeus on that woman. Granted, even though she’s probably had a little work done, she looks great for 48. But what 48 year old woman has those abs? (Please do not send me any pictures of roided up female bodybuilders. I’d like to keep my testosterone levels where they are) It would have been slightly more believable if she didn’t have no-squat thighs. Then again, maybe she’s following the uber-popular crunch ‘n cardio plan. With lattes for breakfast.

Ridiculous Airbrush of the Week II: Speaking of magazine covers, Mischa Barton graces the cover of FHM this month. Yes, this is the same magazine that recently had Stacy Keibler on the cover. Quick, what’s one thing that they don’t have in common? If you answered “the gym,” you win! I pity the person that had to airbrush this.

OMG! Steroids!: The Dancing With the Stars that we all know and love is now tainted forever. Singer and songwriter Jewel, who is a contestant on the season that starts next week, has been battling knee tendonitis, and is sticking needles in her ass to compensate. If she wins, I hope that there is a giant asterisk affixed to the disco ball trophy. No word if Jewel’s steroid abuse will pressure the other contestants to ask Lawrence Taylor for the hookup.

Fitness Video of the Week: This is well worth your time.

Random Non-Fitness Thought: Whoever the producer is that decided to only play Bruce Springsteen and Dierks Bentley songs in the transitions to and from commercials during NASCAR races on ESPN deserves a huge raise.
