Yeah, agree 100% on stadiums. The extension per step makes it so much more difficult as well. There is no comparison, but very few have access. Running stairwells is a good compromise, especially if you do the negative (walking/running down as well). I see so many people propping themselves on the rails of the stepmills. Nitro, don't use the rails to offload bodyweight when using the stepmill.
It is possible to do sprints on the stairmaster (or at least go to maximum speed). You just have to remain very focused and stay on the balls of your feet. One slip and you're the laughing stock of the gym for a while. The good news is that you won't be able to sprint for very long. You can also try taking 2 steps at a time, at a low speed, for a decent leg workout.
Nitro, don't say I never gave you anything... http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/18...schanel-kat-mcphee-minka-kelly-and-jaime-king
My taste, but I have to tell you, I am easily seduced by personality and it is a horrible crime that I post pictures of beautiful actresses as if that is what it took. I have always known it, but I didn't realize how smitten I could get.
One note: My pecs are getting stronger, but they are getting stronger in a weird way, from the inside out. I mean this, take the very center of my chest, the part of your pecs that are closest to this center, this is the part that is getting stronger. The outside of my pecs are not responding. Maybe I need to target that more carefully somehow...
Exactly! And Nitro, if you want your chest to grow, can I ask if you are doing squats and deadlifts? What does that have to do with your chest growing? Lol! The squat, benchpress, and deadlift are the most "anabolic" compound exercises you can do for muscle growth. Those guys in the gym that work just chest and arms all the time will be lame all the time. You've gotta to do the above three to be freaky. Watch what happens to your chest when you do the above three compound exercises. Guarantee you'll get results! (That's if you're eating 6-7 small meals/day, sleeping 8-8.5 hours/day, and drinking at least 1.5 gallons of ice cold water/day.) This isn't rocket science, but at the same time, it is a science...
Great advice! Now go find a stadium Nitro! I use a local High School stadium at 5-6:00am, and trust me, it's NOT crowded there! You will get a REAL workout running stairs. I warm up first by slow jogging the rubber coated track for two laps (1/2 mile) Also, if you're traveling, go to the hotel, and run the fire escape stairs. Last, ALWAYS stretch when finished! Gets the lactic acid out, and lets you replenish your muscles with much needed glycogen, and amino acids. Carry on! Ooh rah!
