I train blindfolded.  If I bump into you, then you just weren't loud enough.

That's completely false.  I store my contact lenses in test cyp.  That way when I put them in right before I go to the gym each day I get a quick testosterone boost due to the good absorption of the eye membranes.  I use test cyp due to the shorter half life.  My buddy was using prop and his dosage was too high.  The "spot injection" really threw of his symmetry.  

I know some of you guys are gonna claim BS so attached is a pic of my training partner after high dosing using the contact method.

I wear contacts when I work on the door but not in the gym. I know many people who do and think they are fine.

When I train I just wear my glasses.

good job for sure ;),, but i still think its abit much running ,, but what do i know..i only know bodybuilding not running  ;D

my advice,, mainly regulare bodywieight via nutrition,, yes do some cardio but 12 cardio session per week in such amount sounds like too much.,,
Title: Re: Contact lenses in the gym?
Post by: newmom on January 13, 2010, 06:38:35 PM
well the running season is quickly approaching, so gotta stay strong, nutrition on point..Did my first marathon, full at that 26.2 miles in  5 hour 22 minutes in October of 2009, this years goal is to run 3 half marathons, the empire state bldg run, and the hartford full marathon...

Maybe hard lenses (popping out from straining during a set), but not soft lenses.

You get on the bus and immediatley they fog up. I just used to stand on teh bus with foggy glasses. Could not be assed cleaning them a lot of the time.

My glasses actually fogged today doing lying leg curls.

I have worn soft contacts in the gym for years and they have never popped out in the gym.  Way better than glasses because glasses fog up. 

 ;D  JME I doubt I would be able to get to the gym either without my contacts or glasses. 

Newmom, you are my kind of woman.   You should be a role model for other women.  I'm proud of you. 
 ;)

Self outing: When I was younger, like 20-21 ish, I like wearing my round rimmed glasses when I worked out because Nasser did it, and I thought it was cool.   :-[
