Jokes For A Meathead (If you don't get the joke, just ask your local bodybuilder to explain)

If you plan your schedule around when you go to the gym instead of planning when you go to the gym around your schedule. You might be a meathead.

Involuntary Muscle Spasms...Enjoy the show.

Went to the Doctor today and when he ask for my symptoms I told him that I was super swole...well after the test came back it was offical. I've got Swoleosis.

If you ever pop your pecs to the bass in music, you just might be a meathead.

Meathead Problems: Go to party, see the another swole dude there, and he is also wearing a black V-neck....but your not a rookie. You always keep a spare white one in the truck..just in case.

Red bull may give you wings....but so does Lat Pulls.

Having the right diet,, aint no thang but a chicken wing..or breast......and rice, eggs, and oats. Well you get the point.

Meathead Bluetooth- when your traps are big enough to keep your phone in place.

Probably not the best idea to listen to your workout playlist before you go to bed. Note to self.

Opening a gym with tanning bed bulbs for lights. The jacked and tan special. No eye wear or shirts required.

So glad to finally have the sun out when I get out of the gym. Now I can get a little bit of a tan on my way to go tan. YEAH. 

Went to GNC and ask for protein. He ask if I wanted Casein and I said No Whey...( no way)..

I'm so dedicated, I never smile...because it takes more muscles to frown.

As a meathead, it is my obligation to wear a bright tank top to any extended amount of time or event that is outside.

Think I'm allergic to exercise. Every time I do it, I swell up all over.

You're like a t-rex...you got a big mouth, but no biceps.

When it comes to Back, It's not weight it's work

     When it comes to back it's not all about weight. The back can move a lot of weight but it is also easy to not train correctly and only focus on the weight. In many of the different exercises for back you will see people working more of their other muscles and not so much of the one that they are isolating.

     Probably one of the biggest mistake made when working back is when doing rows. Remember that what is needed is full protraction and retraction at the scapulae. Instead of moving the shoulder blades people hinge their upper and lower back all over the place in an effort to move huge piles of weight. This is not correct. Your goal should be to use the actual muscles and develop them correctly, after all, we're trying to train, not be the "tool" in the corner trying to impress everyone by slamming uncontrollable weight around. "When rowing, focus on locking down your upper and lower back. Set them in place, and then think about allowing your shoulder blades to glide to the front on the eccentric or lowering phase, and then retract them on the concentric phase."



    The lats are one of the largest muscle groups in the body. Most bodybuilders have spent serious time working on their lats. Focusing on using lats vs. using your biceps when doing exercise is one of the biggest mistakes commonly made.



    Other major muscle commonly mistrained in the back are the rhomboids and traps. The biggest mistake here is people "throwing" the weight up or using there legs to move most of the weight vs. isolating their back.
