Funny Gym Story
Last months funny gym moment competition inspired a lot of you to put pen to paper and send in some hilarious gym stories. Sean and I had a great time judging this competition. The prize for the best story is awesome! Even more goodies have been added into the Aussie Muscle gym bag. These include hats, protein powder, DVD, protein bars, magazines and much more. Total value is approaching $300:00.
Before I announce the winner, let me tell you about my funniest moment.
Years ago I trained legs with a former Novice SA winner. This guy was a bit of a pretty boy and even prided himself as a Mr July in the Fireman's calender. On this particular day we did legs on the leg press and I was spotting him as he was grunting out reps with about 500kgs. When ever he trained legs he wore an old pair of lycra tights which had seen better days in the crotch area, and not to mention that he had a habit of not wearing any under pants. Now picture this. He was doing leg press with 500kgs with very deep, knees to the ears form. I'm spotting him looking down straight into the crotch area. Add in frayed, old lycra shorts, and no under wear. Needless to say, my vision was filled with lots of "elbow skin" pushing itself out of lots of tiny little holes. After pissing myself with laughter, I told him that in order for me to ever spot him again, underpants are a requisite.

And the winner;
About 15 years ago I was training at a gym called "Lakeside Gym" at Royal Park (no longer exists). A monsterous 140kgs plus powerlifter known to me only as Bill ,had some extreme ways of psyching up for his squats and deadlifts and would get the attention of the whole place every time he did them. Sometimes he would roar like a bear, or stand with his arms raised showing his teeth like a gorilla or slap the walls with his hands and say C'MON! like Lleyton Hewitt.
On this particular day he was going for what was probably his best squat with the entire gym looking on. He began breathing heavy and growling whilst he strapped his knees. With spotters flanking him he grabbed the bar mounted on the squat rack and with the almightiest howl launched forward and head-butted the bar! He then fell to the floor like a sack of cowpats clutching his forehead, blood pissing through his fingers! The next words out of his mouth were "I need Panadol". An ambulance was called and he was taken to hospital and treated for concussion and given 4 stitches.
True story.

Honourable mentions, win a Aussie Muscle hat.
I spose if you can't laugh at yourself then you really do have a problem, my funny story is at my own expense. I work in a gym and when its quiet I take the time to get my training done. I had a 1/2 hour to spare and thought Id head into the gym and get my training done, but I had forgotten to grab my gym pants so decided I was only doing arms wouldn't matter if I wore my jeans. As I bent down half way through to pick up a fairly heavy set of dumb bells I split my pants, I was SO embarrassed. I had to spend the rest of my afternoon behind the desk with my bum facing the wall cause I didn't want anyone to see my accident. Needless to say once the aerobics guys found out about it I copped some stirring, and I keep gym pants at work now just incase.

I was training at my local gym which had a mirrors on practically every wall. I was standing next to a guy I had never met and he was doing some dumbell curls, while I was doing some concentration curls. His mobile phone started to beep, and he picked it up and started to read his message. I carried on doing my sets, not really taking any notice.
After a minute or so he was busily typing a message on his phone. I then saw him look at his phone in the mirror and heard him say " What a coincidence, you have the same phone as me!" He looked back at the phone in his hand and kept typing his message. The silly fool thought his reflection in the mirror was someone else!
I looked at him and said "What a coincidence, he even looks like you as well...hahahahaha".
He then realised what he had done, and we both had a good laugh.
Who says bodybuilders are all brawn and no brains!
Michael Harrington
It was on a Saturday morning and I was training legs, I started doing
squats on the brand new smith machine our gym just got in, so I loaded up
the bar to about 40kg for a warm up that all went well, increased it to
70kg, I bent down to do my first squat and as I pushed to stand up I felt
the whole smith machine sliding backward on the carpet, trying my hardest to
step backwards and push up at the same time it was just not happening, so I
had to fall on my back and drop the bar and watch to bar miss my face by
about a foot. Got up a bit winded and almost in shock, should have looked at
the bottom of the smith first as it was not bolted down.

No names to protect the innocent .....
Not so many years ago a quite and relatively unremarkable suburban gym was
bought out by a wannabe-gym-junkie business man type. His very obvious only
interest in the gym was to up the prices and suck the cash out of an
otherwise fairly blue collar clientele and nucleus of dedicated trainers
(when the P 30 protein drinks in the fridge double in price a week after the
new owner takes over you know it's all just about the profits !)
Several of the dedicated gym guys were quite miffed at the sudden and
unprecedented price hikes and there were plenty of quiet rumblings of
discontentment. Equipment in the free weights area was allowed to run down,
broken items were not fixed, wore out items were not replaced. A key group
of otherwise very pleasant long-serving members spoke with the new owner to
highlight the problems and point out that the gym would loose its long-standing member base (the ones whose annual memberships pay the bills
remember ?) if the free weights equipment wasn't kept in at least working
repair. His retort was that he was quite happy to loose the "meatheads" as
they were unaesthetic and their presence "scared off" the middle-aged
white-collar treadmill walkers who could afford to pay more for their
memberships (see ... it's all about the dollar).
Bad enough that the new owner is a tosser but .... a couple of days after
this otherwise civil discussion one of the owners good friends who had been
frequenting the gym since it had been taken over(theI've-never-set-foot-in-a-gym-before-in-my-life-but-I'm-coming-now-because-I-get-a-free-membership-through-my-mate-and-think-it-might-be-a-good-way-to-sleaze-onto-chicks
type of nancy) starts very overtly and obviously 'hitting on' the girlfriends of one of the gym guys who had originally approached the owner
about the slipping standard of conditions in the free weights gym (remember
... the meatheads the new owner didn't want).
The boyfriend lets it slide ... lets it slide ... until this fellow and he
cross paths in the male change rooms (nancy must have been toweling himself
off after a particularly hard walk on the treadmill reading Cleo or New Age
Guy or something).What ensues ... no, not the typical 'meathead grunts several times and then
beats the innocent skinny guy to a pulp in an unsubstantiated steroid rage'
type meeting, much rather nancy starts provoking the gym guy about his
girlfriend (thinly veiled antagonism in retrospect).He gets one warning. He gets two. His last comment is WAY too far below the
belt and he gets a backhand on the end of a 20+ inch arm and a "show some
more respect when you speak about the ladies in these parts".
Nancy hasn't even hit the floor and shazzam !! The owner is right there
pointing the finger.
"Grab your gym towel and get out. Considered yourself banned. I don't every
want to see you here again."
How opportune in timing.
Funny Nancy doesn't say boo to the girlfriend after that. Mission accomplished ... one meathead gone.
The rest of the boys sulk for a while. The free weights gym takes on a
sullen mood in general (on top of progressively falling apart). How can
there possibly be a silver lining to this cloud.Bingo ... everyone comes to train one Monday night a few weeks later, big
sign on the door, 'under new management'. The guy who had been banned bought
the gym. First task as new owner ... fire the old owner (who had also
appointed himself as one of the business managers). Revenge is a bitch.
And there is a continuing happy ending to the story ... prices are back on
track, the free weights gym has been progressively refurbished (looks
great!) New equipment seems to pop up every month (the new weighted ab
machine thing is unreal). Morale is up. Membership seems really strong. The
new owner has pumped heaps into doing the place up, and everyone's happy.
All good.
That's my tale for this round.
Take care.
AK.
I Was trying to think of a funny gym story for this months competition but no one story jumped out. So I thought I might make a list of things I find funny about bodybuilding and the gym in no particular order...I'm sure you will recognize most of them!
Happy Pants!
FRAC, Gamma Oryzonol, Liver Tablets
The looks I get when I deadlift
18 year old guys who tell me they train light because they don't want to get'too big'
Women who won't lift heavy weights because they will get 'too muscly'
People who ask me whether protein supplements 'work' - as if they contain a magic growth formula. Yes they provide protein - so I guess they 'work'
'Belters'
Personal Trainers (most of them)
Professional bodybuilding
FLEX, Muscle and Fitness etc etc
People who walk into a gym, put a broomstick on their backs and proceed to do endless 'twists'
People who dedicate an entire workout to chest but manage to fit quads, hams, and calves into one session
How there's always a wait to use the leg extension machine but never a wait to use the squat rack.
The fact that my family and friends think I'm insane
Cheers

Charles in Charge in Florida
Perennially peaked Darrem Charles captured all four judging rounds to win the IFBB Florida Pro Xtreme. In second was a fellow immigrant to Florida, Ahmad Haidar: full, cut, and classically proportioned. Wasp-waisted leg-man Craig Richardson (who failed to place in his only other pro contest) was the surprise of the show, placing third and realizing his lifetime dream of qualifying for the IFBB Mr. Olympia. 40-year-old Willie Stallings placed a well-deserved fourth. It was nearly an all-aesthetics posedown, until Art Atwood overwhelming mass was thrown into the mix.

My Contest Preparation
I have started my contest preparation for the Night Of The Champions on the 11th of September. For the next 4 months I will detail my progress in the Muscle News. This year I have entrusted my diet to Trent Minchington from Shape Up Personal Training. I chose Trent because in the past two years at every show I have been to, Trents clients have
all been ripped. One week out from dieting my bodyweight is 86kgs at a slightly chubby 25%. The first 4 weeks of the diet is relatively easy. The carbs are still there and I am doing cardio only 2-3 times a week. The cardio side is interesting as it is high intensity work utilising sprint work. It's hard work but only lasts for 20 minutes. The theory behind it is that it isd muscle sparing and induces a high testosterone spike. Our goals for the first 5 weeks is to get my bodyfat into the teens and to actually build a bit of muscle. Twelve weeks out, the diet will be revamped, and again at 8 weeks. Obviously as the contest day approaches cardio will be increased to where I will be doing it every day.
I have added another day to my weights training schedule and now train four days a week. I split my bodyparts up thus;
Mon: Quads
Tues: Chest and Triceps
Thurs: Back and Biceps
Fri: Shoulders, Calves, Hamstrings.
Abs are trained every second workout at the end of he main session.
Each session last for about an hour.
The thing I like about Trent's diet is that it's full of variety. For every meal I have a number of choices to choose from. The diets are fully laid out with supplement programs and even a shopping list. Each meal has exact serves and sizes worked out.
If you are thinking of competing or just want to get in shape, give Shape Up a call.

Here is a review on all major protein types that should help all bodybuilders simplify and understand this subject even more:
Soy Isolate Protein — Soy isolate can contain over 90% protein. It's extremely high in glutamine, arginine and branched chain amino acids. A brand known as SUPRO contains 2 mg. of isoflavones per one gram of soy and data suggests that soy has strong anti-estrogenic capacity and may even help prevent some organ specific cancers such as breast and prostate. Additionally, soy may be heart-friendly and potentially good for steroid users
too. Lately though Soy has found to have adverse effects
especially on males. Those of you familiar to my site know that I
am not a fan of Soy. Go to google and enter "evils of
soy", and see what you get.
Milk Protein Isolates — This is about 90% protein. Milk isolate is casein and whey coalesced together from skimmed milk. MPIs are digested more slowly than whey and with a higher branched chain amino acid score than soy and/or egg.
Whey Isolates and Hydrolysates — Manufactured with ion exchange, cross-flow micro-filtration, or more likely, a mixture of both, these proteins are fat and lactose free. Hydrolysates are a very special form of isolates and considered the best-absorbed protein, especially for immune system compromised patients. Pure whey isolate should also be carbohydrate-free and can be up to 95% proteins, and up to 2.5 times more expensive than whey concentrates. While whey isolate has the highest biological value, along with egg protein, is instantized (mixes well), it's not as high as some proteins in glutamine. It also is absorbed quickly and it should not be taken on an empty stomach, so the amino acids can not be oxidized by the liver for energy instead of taken into muscle cells.
Whey Concentrates — Whey concentrate is the bedrock of 99% of all whey proteins in the marketplace as it is a relatively inexpensive quality protein. The protein content can range from 40-90% protein for each 100-grams of whey and it is high in BCAAs with high immune constituents. Concentrates are fairly high in BV and PER. Concentrates contain carbohydrates and can cause more bloating and gas due to fast absorption and the presence of lactose.
Caseinates — This protein is another bedrock to supplemental protein powders and is also commonly used in pharmacological and food product preparations since it has a great mouth feel and dispersion qualities. It's very high in glutamine (higher than both soy and whey). An agonist of whey, casein is slowly absorbed and it is considered more anti-catabolic in action. It is the protein of choice at bedtime and first thing in the morning and for someone who eats three or less meals each day.
Beef or Bovine Proteins — Bovine is made from hydrolyzed beef blood plasma and USDA inspected, this is a VERY expensive protein, up to 4 times MORE expensive than whey isolates. Bovine can be up to 90% protein. Why is it so expensive? Some bovine is super-concentrated to have very high immunoglobins, preventing hard exercise from leaching from your own immune system. Favorable research suggests that bovine plasma beef protein can enhance nutrient utilization because of the addition of cytokines and ancillary growth factors such as bioactive trace hormones.
Egg Protein — Whole egg is nature's purest protein with the highest combined biological value and protein efficiency ratio due to its superior amino acid profile and absorption. Because of the fat/cholesterol in yolk however, almost all our egg protein used is egg albumin (white). White has a BV of about 90. Egg has sort of a middle absorption rate between anabolic whey and anti-catabolic casein. Egg white is sulfur producing and has been traditionally considered an adjunct to all natural hormone function.

WHAT'S
NEW?
Australian Muscle now stocks a number of bodybuilding DVD's. The bodybuilding DVD range is growing bigger each month, and I will be expanding the range as new titles are released.
Definately the hottest DVD at the moment is the Pumping Irion 25th Anniversary edition. This DVD is worth it alone for the 84 minutes of special features wich includes deleted scenes, interviews and more.
Memorable
Quotes
Girl to Arnold on bodybuilding competitions;
When you are on stage, do you talk at all?
Arnold;
No, only the winner does.....so I talk a lot.
Arnold;
Being perfect, it's one of the hardest things to do.
Arnold to Lou Ferigno backstage at the 1975 Mr Olympia;
What are your chances today?
Lou: I will lose, you're the best
Arnold: Thank You.
Lou: You're welcome.
Arnold: I just wanted to have reassurance.
The quotes above are from deleted scenes from the DVD, Pumping Iron
25th Anniversary Edition. Now available for $39:95
Other
DVD's now available are;
Meta-Cel
This product has had the best feedback I have seen with any product I have sold for a long time. Sean and I are also using it, and we both reckon this is best creatine product we have used....period! I put on 2kg's in 10 days and got stronger in every exercise. The fullness and pump you get in the gym is awesome. Next time you need to get more creatine, give Meta Cel ago. If you're not happy, there is a money back guarantee.
Meta-CEL is a new dietary supplement designed specifically for individuals who are trying to gain lean body mass fast, without adding fat weight. Meta-CEL provides a precise synergistic blend of two revolutionary new complexes-the patent-pending Phosphitol™ and the exclusive Potentin™, shown in recent studies to help promote volumizer transport into muscle cells and increase lean body mass-safely and effectively, without the use of high amounts of sugars and/or carbohydrates, harmful pro-hormones, or pro-steroids.
Potentin and Phosphitol work synergistically within Meta-CEL to enhance two different functions in the body: the highest achievable gut tolerance and increased myocellular (muscle cell) retention of creatine-formulated to promote complete absorption (thereby avoiding any possible intestinal distress) and to enhance whole body creatine retention... all without adding unnecessary sugars or producing insulin spikes, which makes it ideal for "carbo-phobics" or calorie cutters.
First, Phosphitol contains a vital "energy-producing" compound stored in muscle cells. "Supersaturating" the muscles with elements in this revolutionary complex may "open the door" to new muscle growth by activating the muscle cells to respond to increased hydration within cells, which may assist in muscle cell development and gains in lean or fat-free mass.
Next, Potentin contains critical "nutrient-driving" elements, which may increase the activity of existing creatine-specific proteins in muscle cells. Using this compound may help "revolve the door" by potentiating or boosting the effects of Phosphitol and transporting its primary components into the muscle cells, to store them there and promote muscle cell volume.

The
Whey
Do you have a slow metabolism? Do you carry extra weight around the waist? Do you want lean muscle mass? Do you follow a high protein low carbohydrate diet? Are you 'cutting up' for competition? Are you a vegetarian? Do you find it hard to get enough protein from your diet? Do you want a product that is high protein but still tastes great?
THE WHEY is designed to meet the requirements of athletes, slow metabolism types or followers of a high protein diet, and is perfect for both males and females.
Protein is the King
Protein is the nutrient that provides the structural building blocks for all the tissues for your body, including lean muscle tissue. It provides nitrogen groups for muscle protein retention - something carbohydrates can't do. THE WHEY is 90% blend of pure Whey Protein Isolate and Whey Protein Concentrate.
Lean Mass and Cutting Up
Some weight trainers have already achieved the Mass Gain they want and now want to 'cut up'. Competitive bodybuilders approaching the last few weeks want to cut down on carbohydrates. THE WHEY can assist.
Vegetarians
Vegetarians often find it hard to get enough protein in their diets; a daily drink of THE WHEY with its blend of Whey Protein Isolate and Concentrate can assist here too.
Tastes Great
THE WHEY is 90% protein and has only 1.4g of carbohydrates per serve. Most high protein powders have a taste issue, because it's difficult to make them taste ok without some carbohydrates! Years of careful research and formulation at Musashi has produced a genuinely great tasting product, but with the inclusion of the absolute minimum amount of carbohydrates.
Undenatured = Easy to Digest
You may have found that some other protein powders can cause stomach discomfort, bloating and flatulence. This is because the digestive enzymes are unable to break down the complex and poorly processed protein chains and lactose, which then pass down through the digestive tract to be broken down by bacteria.
The Instantised Whey Protein Isolate used in THE WHEY is a soluble, spray-dried product manufactured using the latest ultrafiltration and cross-flow microfiltration technology. It then has been surface coated with soy lecithin to aid dispersibility and solubility.
This process filters out denatured protein, providing a product that is low in fat and high in quality whey proteins. This preserves the glycomacropeptides (GMP) that enhance immune function.
Improved Immune Function
Undenatured whey protein, which is found in THE WHEY, has been recognized by the medical community for improving immune system function and detoxification. Whey Proteins aid in the replenishment of Glutathione, which effectively enhances the body's immune response, and studies have shown depleted levels of glutathione are associated with enhanced toxicity and a weakened immune system.
Weakened immune function results in time off training due to flu and viruses. Heavy training loads can create an 'Overtraining Syndrome' effect with resultant lack of muscle gains. These training loads also increase free radical formation and tissue damage. By enhancing antioxidant production in the body; whey proteins can protect your body against this oxidative damage.
High in Glutamine Peptides and BCAA'S
These two factors are the two fundamental muscle-building and recovery nutrients.

WHAT'S
THE GOSS?

Muscle
Ute
Those of you who have been to the shop recently may have noticed
the new Aussie Muscle Falcon Ute. Yes, I have lashed out and bought
a 2001 model EA ute. Finished in a striking dark blue duco with
green and gold sign writing depicting the flexing kangaroo, it's
an eye catcher. I want to see just how eye catching this ute is.
If you see the Aussie Muscle ute on the road, call me on 8373 0735,
and tell me where you saw it, and you will win a prize. The first
person to call me each month wins the prize. Seeing the ute in the
shop carpark, in my driveway, or at Limbo Gym, does not count. In
the past month the ute has been at Sellicks Beach, Adelaide International
Raceway, and in the Adelaide hills, so I do get around.
Speaking
of hot cars. If you think your beast deserves recognition, bring
it in to Australian Muscle and I'll take a picture of you and your
pride and joy and place it on the Aussie Muscle website.

Craig Titus vows not to come back.
Craig Titus had a not so friendly experience with Australian authorities on his recent trip down under for the Australian Grand in March. Upon his arrival in Melbourne, Craig was whisked away by federal police and placed in a lock up for 4 hours. The reason? He admitted to a criminal reckon on his entrance form. Craig was threatened with immediate expulsion on the next available US bound flight. Only lengthy intervention by the contest promoter convinced federal police to let him stay and compete. Needless to say, Craig might not be back here for a while.

Arnold the Editor?
According to reports from the Arnold Fitness Weekend in Columbus, Ohio, the Governator announced that he's accepted a new job as executive editor of Muscle & Fitness and Flex, but will be donating his salary to charity.
I'm not sure what kind of maneuver this is, but allow me to let you in on something: it takes a lot of hours to be the editor of a magazine. It's not something you can do in your spare time, especially if you happen to be the governor of a state getting crushed by a fiscal tidal wave.
Maybe Arnold is going to be "editor" of those magazines in the same way he was the "author" of all those articles and bodybuilding books in the past i.e. the co-writer or ghost writer did most of the work (usually Bill Dobbins.)
Did She or Didn't She?
Another interesting twist in the BALCO Labs steroid fiasco came out over the weekend. Two newspapers reported that Victor Conte is naming names, specifically saying he gave steroids to track stars Marion Jones and Tim Montgomery in exchange for their endorsements of ZMA. Lawyers for Conte said he isn't naming any names and lawyers for Jones said she's as clean as a whistle.
Apparently the gold medallist just keeps having the misfortune of getting tied up with people from the steroid trade and marrying men who fail

Chicks Dig Muscles, But Not for Marriage?
According to a study conducted at the University of California, college girls are attracted to muscular men for quick flings but choose scrawnier body types for marriage.
Why? Wimps, er, non-muscular men, were thought to be nicer, more faithful and better care givers. On the other hand, the perception of muscular men was that they'd be "less faithful, less likely to treat spouses well, and be less emotionally sensitive." Oh yeah? Well, our bimbo mistresses tell us we treat them just fine, so take that you oversensitive broads!

No Bling-Bling for Beavers
It may soon be illegal for women in Georgia, USA to pierce their cha-cha's. The "crime" will be punishable by two to twenty years in prison. It's not illegal for men to pierce their naughty parts, however.
Apparently, this bill was passed by Georgia lawmakers to prevent the female genital mutilation that's still prevalent in some cultures and cults. (That stuff goes on in Georgia?) The lawmakers later said they had no idea a woman would voluntarily adorn her genitals with piercings.
Nice to see American tax dollars at work on such important issues, isn't it?
