300: Rise of an Empire

March 10, 2014 by NotSoAverage Joe Leave a Comment

300 + ripped up warriors

Years ago when the first 300 movie came out there were some pretty good workout routines that showed up online that these guys did to get into that kind of shape.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look at the links for some of those dudes. Not only did they have some excellent muscle, there were also shredded. Lean.

300 and 40ish cardio

Now, like a lot of other guys in [Read more…]

Be the hammer and the nail?

March 7, 2014 by That Guy Leave a Comment

It’s not about the nail

For most guys, life’s little bumps seem easy… give us an issue, complaint, or obstacle and most of us will quickly change into “solution man“.

I’ve noticed that most guys can come up with a solution to just about any dilemma, and for some reason, most gals don’t always want that as you can see in this classic ‘That Guy’ video.

Be the Hammer?

What if we applied our solution generating powers to our own personal lives and fitness situations?

What if we looked at ourselves with the detached, objective perspective and analysis we have when solving problems for others?

Then, what if we actually listened to our internal hammer/self assessment and took the necessary steps to [Read more…]

How to Fight Gravity

March 6, 2014 by That Guy Leave a Comment

Gravity

While running on the hamster wheel in our gyms cardio theater, I was able to pass some time watching the movie Gravity.

I’m sure the movie won a bunch of Oscar awards… personally I don’t care.

Cross Fit Guy vs Power Lifter (or the Battle of the Bulge)

March 5, 2014 by That Guy Leave a Comment

Battle of the Bulge

Anyone who has spent time in the gym has heard the expression, “Go heavy or go home.“
After all, as any red blooded 40-ish knows, if a little is good for you then a lot must be great!

 

The Power Lifter

Years of heavy lifting has been awesome!  Stronger than most men regardless of age and what a great feeling when you throw around some weight and hit new goals…

After 20+ years of lifting and exercising and now that I am 40ish, I’m beginning to see a perspective change. Actually, it reminds me of a commercial we (Gym Rats) often laugh about. Maybe it hits too close to home…

If you could be anyone…?

Who garners respect in the gym? The massive power lifter or the cross fitter/runner guy?

Of course, the one who’s [Read more…]

A Zombie Apocalypse

March 4, 2014 by That Guy 3 Comments

5am Gym Rat

A Zombie Apocalypse?

A look inside the daily routine of a 5am gym rat…

  • Wake before any sane person would ever consider possible.
  • Slam an energy drink while driving – in the dark – to the gym.
  • Warm up, work out!
  • Shower, shave and TCB.
  • Arrive at work before most guys leave the house.

That is just the start of the daily routine of those 40-ish year olds who have a never ending desk job, bills to pay, kids in sports…

All while attempting to maintain some glimpse of being an ‘in shape’ guy.

Types of Zombies

Stop by any health club at 5am and you’ll find nothing short of a Zombie Apocalypse.

You’ve got your mindless, burned out 40-ish men.

And then a handful of [Read more…]
