> [@BluBalls](#): > > I agree with Jim… I keep fruit to a minimum… has a ton of sugar. Same with fruit juice. A tall glass of mango juice has twice as much sugar as a can of coke. It’s not just the sugar in the fruit that it bad. Fruit is full of empty calories. It’s basically filler food that suppresses your appetite and offers nothing that MUSCLES need to grow. If you want to drop a lot of weight then incorporate fruit into your diet. If you want to grow and put on muscle, leave it for the fatties. ---

if you are wearing running shoes or something along the lines of running shoes, they typically make you lean forward a bit. when doing heavy lifts (deadlifts) you want to lift with your heels, not your toes. taking your shoes off will give you flat(er) feet and help with pushing from your heels. ---

Might not be a bad idea. I felt something go _twang_ in my lower back on the first set last time. Now the other side of my back hurts. Weird. Time to start paying more attention to form. ---

Time to start paying more attention to form. I usually warm up with :naab: sets before i go heavy, i do alot of warming up because its too easy to hurt your back. ---

Everytime i curl my left wrist feels like it’s going to snap in half ☹ i was talking to someone today about snowboarding back around christmas time, and i remember falling on my wrist on ice and i basically couldnt move my wrist the rest of the day i never actually put 2 and 2 together but i started working out about 2 weeks after this happened and it hurts every time i curl, whether it be 25lbs or 125lbs it feels like it’s going to break. it only hurts during the curling motion of my bicep exercises, not my triceps ---
