Re: Belt Squat Machine
What gym in NYC do you go to that has a belt squat machine? The only one I could think of would possibly be Coliseum but not even sure they have one.

Re: Seen in Public today

Re: 5 3 1 programming
Yeah I agree with this, but its nothing new unfortunately around here... One thing I can say is doing the 5-3-1 program while following the mainsite sounds like a huge recipe for disaster.

Re: RIP John hughes
Although I think most would pick The Breakfast Club, I still love Wierd Science the most... Ive watched it so many times. But really, he had some great stuff, and truly sad to see him go.
