Tomorrow is Monday and in meathead terms, that means it’s bench day.  Why?  BECAUSE MONDAY IS ALWAYS BENCH DAY.

To prepare you for the onslaught of bros that will be hogging your equipment and most likely talking about their pecs, bis, and tris, I decided to help you with your creativity.  If you have a limited amount of time at the gym, here are a bunch of exercises that can help keep you lookin’ good while throwing in some spice to your “all chest all day” workout plan (although, that workout plan is highly ill-advised).

I was on Facebook a few weeks ago when I saw a “Facebook friend” (need to make that clarification for those that understand the differences vs. real life) say something to the tune of “Worked hard at the gym for my birthday cake!”  I didn’t want to be “that guy,” nor did I have the heart to tell that person that it doesn’t quite work like that.

It’s OK, I’ve done it too.  In fact, I’ve probably done most of the mistakes I write about on this blog.  So, let’s think about this problem in a more scientific way: does a 45 minute workout justify eating another 1,000 calories?  Absolutely not, and it’s a losing proposition.

Have you noticed how Omega-3 is now in everything?  Seriously.  Eggs, juice, milk, margarine, pasta, bread, and my personal favorite that's just around the corner...ice cream.  I get it, I really do.  If people aren’t getting enough Omega-3’s, from their bad diets, let’s just fortify everyone’s diet so that it's no longer an issue.

Or, you know, people could actually EAT SOME FRIKEN FISH.

Not long ago, I was a pitcher in college and thought I knew everything about strength and conditioning.  Oh, how wrong I was.

Since my career change, I’ve often thought back to my high school and college career and how I would have tweaked my own training to be tailored to pitching.  It should go without saying that I know a lot more now than I used to, but by no means am I the “know-it-all” I was before.

“Back pain?  Never heard of it!” – said no one ever.

As I mentioned in my first post about back pain, almost everyone will suffer from it at some point in their life.  For this reason, I’ve decided to post another 5 tips that could help if you’re suffering.  (In fact, if you said I’m a back pain junkie, you’d probably be right).
