Where's Grizz -- Grizz Hater, 15:13:24 02/05/09 Thu [18]
Any one Know where Grizz is? Did he roll up under the rock he came from and start eating donuts and large quantities of peanut butter? I have not seen him at the gym and begining to think the dipshit wonder boy gave up and is off somewhere trying to be a competitive eater or something because he could not hack the big leagues. Well I would call myself Steve P. Hater but everyone pretty much already does so thats not as fun. Anyway if you are out there Grizz and you read this.... AFF is such a great gym now that your ugly ass is gone.
l-Leucine -- Boy Wonder, 11:58:59 02/07/09 Sat [4]
Leuince is the bad ass amino acid that is the must need for the 8 week stretch.It stimulates muscle protein synthesis and may be the major fuel involved in anabolic reactions.
Glutamine Peptide is the muscle savior. This is anti-catabolic amino will help u maintain during the stress of lower carb & calorie restricted diets.

The 1st PRO has entered!! Steve Boyer is in.( USBF and NGA). Who will be next for the "Battle In The Burgh"? $2000 riding on the PRO division!! $750 for the CHAMP!JT
Empire States update -- halzman, 11:29:24 01/25/09 Sun [6]
The show is showing to be the sprint to start the spring season off.Already have some new faces who have taken advantage of the early bird $25 special.
Men's pro will be sickly retarded with the best talent the USBF has to offer along with some debut diaper dandies. The King Bierly will be defending his latest crown after coming off a huge victory in Baltimore last fall.Gillis,Cancelino,Austin,Comstock,Uzar,Rico,grizz,Parmeter and Jolly green Giant la Clair are among some of the BIG men coming. Ripped to the bone lightweights such as Usher,Le,Firth,Ray jr.,Potenziano,Provist,Silva and possibly Coleman.There have ben more emails from pros whom I am not familiar with also.This could turn out to be the biggest men's pro show ever.Note that there is a pro show in Rochester(NGA) the week after. This could be major piggyback for each sanction.
Women's pro figure has 5 names in the mix
Question is who will be our next new three pros??
Long one- But Funny! -- Tracy, 11:23:09 01/30/09 Fri [10]
Sound familiar anyone?

You Know You're a Dedicated Trainer When...
Take a humorous look at what being a dedicated trainer is all about...you may recognize yourself!!
1. If, on a job application, under "Previous Employment," you've listed weight training and under "Hobbies" you've listed your actual previous employment.
2. If you've ever made yourself so sore that it either takes you a full minute to sit on the toilet or you have to fall down onto it.
3. If you've been banned from an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant.
4. If you've ever broken a bone and tried to "train around it."
5. If you're buying a home and the first thing you look for is where your training equipment will go (not how big the kitchen is or if there's a furnace or running water or anything like that).
6. If you've ever mentally calculated the protein content of a piece of your own birthday cake.
7. If you'd vote for Arnold Schwarzenegger regardless of of his views, policies or even what he's running for.
8. If everybody you know asks you to help them when they move because you can lift heavy things.
9. If Navy Seal training "looks like fun."
10. If you've ever had to scratch your nose in the middle of a set and you've used the weight to scratch it.
11. If you've brought skinless chicken breasts to a rock concert instead of beer.
12. If you can remember your One Rep Max for 76 different exercises but you can't remember your family and friends birthdays.
13. You've kept an old vitamin bottle for 12 years because it "brings back memories."
14. If your fridge has more than 6 cartons of eggs in it at any given time.
15. If, when you travel, you pack an extra bag just for your supplements.
16. If your marriage vows include the words "for better or for worse or for pre-contest dieting."
17. If your idea of a good leg workout is one where you work them so hard you can't take two steps without falling down after a set.
18. If you use the squat rack more for squats than you do for barbell curls.
19. If your spotter is yelling "It's all you!" and it actually is.
20. You do bicep curls with your grocery bags as you bring them in.
21. You mix tuna into your cereal to get more protein.
22. If you need to go to therapy if you miss two workouts in a row.
23. If the thought of lifting a car sounds perfectly reasonable to you.
24. If you've ever set a 45-pound plate on your lap and used it as a TV tray for eating dinner.
25. If you set your alarm to wake up in the middle of the night to drink a protein shake.
26. If you don't even have to set your alarm anymore to wake up in the middle of the night to drink a protein shake.
27. If you've ever wrapped the calorie counter on a cardio machine back around to zero.
28. If you've ever had to add extra weight to a machine because there's just not enough weight on it for you.
29. You mix protein powder into your condiments.
30. If you're regularly the very first, very last, or only person in your gym.
31. If you've laughed at any single one of the items in this article because it describes you perfectly.

Peanut Butter Recall -- AFF Member, 05:43:01 01/30/09 Fri [2]
Hey all, I was just reading Fox News, they have a listing of items recalled, I noticed protein bars from Supreme Protein were on the list. They also listed Cliff bars as well. Here is the link if you want to check it out!
I posted the posters in the Golds Gym location in Clifton Park. I will also be posting another one in the Albany location. However, I will need more for the Latham and Niskiyuna location. So if you would like to send me more I will do that for you. So I have talked to five guys and figure competitors I train and they are interested. I hope all goes well for you.
