    ...k? anyone have anything positive to add to this?

    I can honestly say that i probably spend more time in a gym every week then anybody on these boards. I've join/worked out at almost every gym in Fargo/Moorhead. I have had a membership At the YMCA for the last 2 years and I lift primarily at the West Location everyday . For your needs (price, location) including finding someone to lift/exercise with, I would choose the YMCA West.

    It's never as busy as the Wellness Center, has the nicest equipment hands down, and gives you more options (free-weights/Hammerstrength/cardio/basketball/raquetball/swimming) then any other gym in town. I pay 32$ a month and it's well worth it.

    Ask Bryce or listen to Ryan, nothing beats the Y.

        Great facility, <u>Too many people</u>. Plus I think the wellness center will chase joel away from excercise very quickly. Plus: Joel are you a NDSU student??

          Joel, I used a lot of Cormax equipment in high school and really liked the style of training it provided. I believe there is a Cormax out in West Fargo on Main. I haven't been to that one or heard any reviews about it, but it might be something to look into. I know it was really reasonable as well. Most places have a trial membership period for no charge to try it out. The new Anytime Fitness is supposed to be really nice, and is 24 hours. I used the small one in Moorhead because it wasn't busy at all and it was 24 hours. They also have a joint program with Exhale Fitness on 12th ave/I29, and I liked that place as well except it was busier.

          At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

            Tony is that the one on 45th that you're talking about? My sisters boyfriend/babys daddy/whatever is a bodybuilder kinda and he uses that one when they're down here from grand forks. I do agree that the wellness center is VERY busy at times, but after 7 or so it's fine...besides...it's free (for me) so I can't really beat that.

              I was wondering if they were working on that.

              MSUM's work for what it is, but the plans are on the wall for a new facility (of course that won't be for a couple more years and I'm gone after this fall).

              I really need to get my fat ass back in the gym and work on my rehab...

                Yeah, it is on 45th.

                Another option is always the high school weight room. The only downside is that it's only really available 3-6 usually.

Very few days is it busy and if it is it only last an hour or so.

                                      I've heard that like 6 times this week. I'll answer that the way I always do. I'm 6'5" 295-300lbs at 22% bodyfat right now. I look large, but not abnormally so.

                                      With my current lifestyle (eating/workout/sleep pattern): If I used steroids or HGH I would probably sit at about 370-400, and look like Master-Blaster (midget on giant retard) and have more acne on my back then Brian's ass. Oh and I'd blow out an ACL, MCL, whatever in about a week.

                                      IE: If i used steroids I would be so big it would be rediculous.

                                        It depends on how you shrug.

                                        The way to make gains: Straight bar in a freesquat cage set to at least 6-8" lower than the bottom of the bar with you holding it. Add weight till you can't stand with it. minimum 8 sets of 10 - 15 reps: works primarilly you lower back and ab core, also you traps, rear delts, upper lats, hamstrings, quads, glutes and your entire forearm. <u>One of the most important excercises among powerlifters as a jumping point for olympic style deadlifts/clean/snatch</u>

                                          Umm, I may not be as big as you Colin, but a lot of my life was spent in the gym and have since lost pretty much everything I worked for in high school. I know what they do, I was just stating that shrugs aren't something you get cocky about. Thats all I was saying.

                                          At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!
