Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Filed Under: Rants & Raves


In light of our recent technical difficulties, we want to take this moment to tell you how thankful we are that you keep coming back to visit our website.

We’ve been growing so quickly in such a short period of time… it’s been quite a whirlwind to say the least.

Whether you come from a big family or a small family, we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Eat lots of turkey… but be careful about how much junk you eat. One slice of pumpkin pie is fine… two is way too much!!! Just kidding… eat whatever you want today… you’ve earned it!


Is Your Gym Time Strictly Business?

Filed Under: Q & A


Anyone can go to the gym and work their body parts but if you lack intensity, you might as well go back home.

The gym floor should be a place of business… especially if your goal is to achieve big muscle growth.

Let us explain… Normally when we go to the gym today, we’ll see guys working out but also laughing, talking and standing around. Honestly, they will take 5 minute breaks between sets… which is completely detrimental to muscle development. We often wonder if they are taking their workouts seriously or if the gym is just some kind of daily social event. Let us tell you what is not happening during this kind of workout:

    1) There is no focus to psyche up for the next set. They’d rather talk about the weekend then get motivated to do their best.

    2) The body is cooling down and thinking “No Pain”….. which means “No Gain”.

    3) The muscles you are working will not get pumped or filled with blood.

In short this approach to a routine is just going through the motions.

The time you spend on the gym floor is your time to focus, push every rep to the limit, and drive your muscles to greater size and definition. To do anything less is a waste of time… and this defines the men from the boys.

So how do you achieve intensity in your weight training?

    1) Don’t socialize on the gym floor… or at least just keep it to a bare minimum. Your workout and timing of rests between sets is the #1 priority. If someone wants to say hello, then of course respond in kind… but don’t get distracted.

    2) Concentrate on thinking about your next set during your rest period. Your eyes will naturally focus on fixed objects in the gym rather looking around and catching someone’s eye for conversation.

    3) Talk to yourself internally. Encourage yourself with thoughts like: “I can lift this weight” or “I will push myself to the limit on this one”.

    4) Get a training partner that is every bit as serious as you. Motivate each other. Limit conversation to aspects that have to do with the routine at hand.

    5) Avoid long rests. This is not power lifting! This is bodybuilding! The muscle recovers to 80% to its original strength less than 1 minute after the previous set.

    6) Take every set to failure. Unless you are doing a warm up set, why stop at 10 reps if you could have done 12 reps?

    7) Get a spotter to push beyond the number of reps you can do on your own and help take you to failure.

If you don’t walk off the floor drained from your workout, you likely did not achieve the intensity required to grow your muscles.


We’re So Sorry!!!

Filed Under: News, Rants & Raves


Our website was down for almost 24 hours, and just came back online this morning.

The technical difficulties we were having at the end of last week finally caught up with us… but all seems well at the moment.

We just wanted to take this moment to apologize for any inconvenience you might have experienced while trying to visit us in the last 24 hours.

We’re working hard so that it doesn’t ever happen again.

Our regularly scheduled programming will resume tomorrow so we can spend the rest of today troubleshooting any future disruptions in your daily dose of GymJox…

Forgive us????


Biker Gloves, Biker Boots & Big Muscle

Filed Under: Muscle Worship

Buffed pro bodybuilder Claude Groulx (born June 24, 1962 in Montreal, Canada) wastes no time getting right to the point in the following muscle worship video….

But yeah, that’s right folks…. Claude is now 46 years young! And this muscle clip was filmed only a year or two ago…. How would you like to look like this muscle head at his age?!

We’re VERY impressed by his size and chiseled muscle definition.

Anyway, in the following muscle worship video, Claude sprawls out on a hotel bed wearing nothing but black biker gloves, leather biker boots, and a skimpy black mens thong.

Watch in awe as he flexes and pays tribute to his big muscle physique:

Jason Robinson

Jason Thorpe Robinson (born July 30, 1974 in Leeds, West Yorkshire) is a former English international rugby union and rugby league player.

During his career he usually played wing or fullback.

In total he won fifty-one Rugby Union international test caps for England, and in the national rugby league he won twelve caps for Great Britain and seven for England.

Throughout his career Robinson was noted for his acceleration and speed… probably due to the size of his thick muscular quads!!! Look at those hamhocks!

Italian College Bodybuilder Shows Off
His Muscle Jacked Body

Filed Under: Posing, Webcams

Everyone please say hello to David Giovanni Castano.

At only 21 years old, this muscular college kid is in amazing shape.

When he was a kid he used to be terribly skinny… but not now.

He does admit to having used supplements in the past… we’re not sure if that means legal or illegal, but we won’t pry. We really couldn’t care less anyway.

His personal philosophy about bodybuilding and weightlifting is not to try to be like the people in the magazines, it’s about reaching your own personal goals for health.

David has been lifting seriously now for 2 years!!!! Amazing physique!


Wanna Show Off Your Muscle Definition?
4 Steps to Body Hair Shaving for Men

Filed Under: Miscellaneous, Q & A


About a week ago we featured an article about the benefits of body hair shaving (if you are trying to really get your muscular physique to look good in public).

Since we received many emails asking us about the best way to rid yourself of unwanted body hair, here are some body hair shaving steps for you to follow. For you hairy guys this will seem like a chore, but it’s worth every razor stroke.

1.) Start by buying a standard electric hair trimmer. You know, those hair trimmers that your mom or dad bought to save them 10 bucks from taking you to barber. Well those hair trimmers can be bought for less than 20 bucks nowadays.

2.) Use the trimmer without any guards and simply shear the hair. Clean the Chest, Abs, Legs and Arms. Okay, you Neanderthals will have to trim the back too. The trimmer will take you down to a stubble in no time that is ready for shaving. The rest is easy…

3.) Hop in the shower, get your razor and have at it. Use warm-to-hot water, and if possible use a shaving cream that is made for sensitive skin. This will help prevent ingrown hairs and any skin irritation you might normally experience by using a much harsher shaving cream. Take your time, and don’t cut yourself. In less that 10-15 minutes you can be clean shaven, and when you hop out of the shower your muscles will show off every cut!

4.) After shaving, apply a body lotion. See how good this feels! Our personal preference is Lubriderm body lotion or Palmer’s Cocoa Butter, which is great for stretch marks and makes you smell like a million bucks too! Nivea skin lotion is also good.

You may want to do a quick once-over with the razor every other day in the shower to hold down the growth. Don’t worry if you miss a spot, it won’t look goofy and you’ll get it the next day when it appears more obvious to the eye.

So there you have it guys. If you want your muscularity to look its best, clean off that hair.
