It all depends on your coach. Before I started boxing I was told that you don't spar for your first year of training. But my coach had me sparing on my 2nd day at the gym and I have spared everytime since then. You just have to make sure that the person you are sparing with knows your skill...

Yeah I agree that strong knuckles and hands are an advantage in a bare knuckle fight. It all depends on what you want to get out of your training. I'm guessing it took a while to build yourself up to the level that you are at now. But even with gloves on you are not completely protected. I...

I notice everything about everyones appearance. In the past I would just check out what clothes and shoes people were wearing. But now that I have a receeding hair line I also check out everyones hair, how bald they are, and the way they style it. I compare myself to everyone, I notice...

I went to the gym on Monday. The bags are so old that any markings have rubbed off. I tried to lift the heaviest one (the one that feels like you're hitting a concrete wall) and it felt like it was about 50kg. I suggest you get a 30 to 40kg one as they seem like the most common.

Sorry my life is busy at the moment so I havn't had time to goto the gym. Next time I go I will have a look for you though. I would guess that they are about 30 kg (65 lbs). I watched two solid guys try to put one up and they struggled but worked it out eventually.

Sheep shagging jokes get old, not all of us are lonely farmers, we have cities too. Just remember who has the Bledisloe Cup AND the Tri Nations... Hate it or love it the underdog's on top, mate!

A little background info: I'm 6'3, 165 pounds approximately. Lanky/skinny build, trying to get the motovation to start working out at the gym. I wouldn't describe myself as being strong or athletic. I'm not sure of the weights but we have 3 kinds of bags at my boxing gym. Hard, medium...

I train as a boxer and it is very good for fitness and stress relief. I havn't used free standing punching bags as we have hanging ones but I'll try to help you. I would assume that the free standing ones would be designed to not topple over, otherwise they wouldn't be very popular...

I'm currently just having one every night about 2 hours after dinner as a "2nd dinner". Should I also have one after each workout?

I've also been in the same problem as you. What is the best (cheapest) way to get my finasteride? I've seen documentaries on replica pills being sold in Thai market stores and such (which I'm sure are the same ones you'd be buying online). How can you be sure that these pills do have...

I'm not currently taking Propecia but I have my prescription, I just havn't had time to sort out the cheapest place to buy it. My reasons for chosing Propecia: I want the exact 1mg of finasteride a day. Even if you manage to cut a Proscar exactly into 1/5's can you be sure that you're...

So what do we use for the slick bald areas?

Sorry for jumping the gun on you. "Muscle Milk" didn't sound like a legit product and then the post after yours... I'll see if I can get Cytosport products in New Zealand. I will definately check out those two sites though, thanks for them.

Thanks for your reply but I want something to increase body size. I think the drugs will sort out my hair by themselves. The other two replies: You guys are great. Someone asks for advice and you try to make wise cracks that aren’t even funny. A+. Almost as intelligent as VWDude that...

Hi guys, A little bit about me: I used to play a lot of sports when I was younger but always was a lanky build. I have been wanting to bulk up and get some muscles for a few years but have only just recently done something about it. I have been drinking a protein shake every day for the...
