No Bull: Pelvic Tilt Gasm
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.
