I think body type needs to be taken into consideration, too - mesomorph, endomorph or ectomorph - when choosing total body versus splits (upper/lower or three day split). An an ecto or hardgainer, a split plan with lower reps and heavier weights works best for me. The older Slow and Heavy and...

Another vote for PUB and CTX upper body is TOUGH.

It's amazing to me. And lest we think it's all the younger generation, my Mom, who is past retirement age, was telling me the other day how one of her friends had asked if she could ride with her to a funeral if she met my Mom at her house. The day before, my Mom called to confirm she still...

Surprised no one has mentioned improved sex drive yet. Improved strength and endurance for everyday tasks as well as the occasional very physical days - moving or big project in the yard. (Maybe that's not so "odd," but is certainly awesome!

Discovered and started reading Charlaine Harris' books long before the True Blood series came out. We don't have cable/dish, so didn't even know there was a series until we stumbled across it while on vacay. I think both are great, but the show certainly doesn't follow the books per se. My...

Another vote for Burt's Bees - love the fresh peppermint scent, too!

That's awesome!

Well said, Marie. To a certain extent, we reap what we sow, but I don't know how anyone can issue an ultimatum that all "bad" things are the result of a negative frame of mind. And I can only imagine how hurtful it might be to someone devastated by loss to imply it was their own fault.

If you're having the super curly problem as a result of chemo drugs, I can assure you, with time, your hair will move back toward it's previous consistency. When my hair grew back, it was super thick and tight curly like poodle fur. I agree trying to straighten it is a bad idea. Apply curl...

I've been off the boards for a while concentrating on heavy weight training in the gym. I'm a hard gainer, so cardio is eliminated or used very sparingly in the program I'm on. However, I have a wedding looming and really want to get in top shape for it (and the honeymoon!). I've decided to get...

My boyfriend's the big Apprentice fan, so I'm not that familiar with the whole thing, but I watched last night's episode with him. I was shocked after everyone making Randall out to be such a nice guy... and his little breakfast where he was so nice and complimentary to her... but then when the...

I check out bodybuilding.com some. I also spend a lot of time on a forum specific to the training program I'm on for ectomorphs. I'm pretty much the only active female on there, so it gets interesting.

You do look awesome. Very impressive!

Hi Kimbra, I have two Shelties and neither has done this, but we don't get a whole lot of snow here in Arkansas, so it's always kind of an unwelcome surprise to them. They're both spoiled indoor dogs, and don't care for messy weather. My older one, in particular, seems to hate even getting...
