Hmm. If you just click the link above, it should open right up for you. To do the program, you have to purchase the training manual. It also comes with workbooks and a bodyfat caliper. Once you've made the purchase, you'll have access to the members section of the Web site. Here, you'll find the...

Awwright ectos, Briee asked me to start a check-in thread, so here it is. I just finished my first week on the Gaining Mass program (www.skinnyguy.net). There are three workouts per week: 1)legs and abs, 2) back, biceps and abs, and 3) chest, triceps, shoulders and abs. No cardio, lots of...

Better Homes and Gardens has many great forums! The correct address is: http://www.bhg.com

I agree that LL is tougher to get through, but PLB is more thorough in a way. I like to tack the PLB floorwork onto S&H Legs! Angela

RE: Ecto gets serious! I got up to 93 pounds on the squats and that was the most weight hubby could lift up to my shoulders. I was supposed to do another set of 4 reps at 103 and a set of two reps at 113. I guess I could put my 5 lb ankle weights on my arms and get to 103. I may have to look...

RE: Ecto gets serious! Bobbi, Are you sure the belly is truly fat and not bloating? I'm always suspicious when I hear someone say they are slim everywhere but the tummy. I've touted the book "False Fat Diet" by Elson Haas on this forum before, but I'll mention it again, in case you missed...

One of our resident fitness experts on the forum once suggested to me to work each body part twice a week - once heavy/strength and once light/endurance. Following this plan, I would use PS, S&H or PUB/PLB for heavy and CTX UB/LL, ME or PH for light. This approach works both slow twitch and fast...

Well, that's correct. However, the idea is to get the picture square so it won't distort. So, if you want the photo to display larger when you go to the profile page, you could resize to 100 x 100 or 200 x 200 and it would still display correctly at the small size that appears with your email...

Hey Beverly, If you'll click my name above and send an email to me with your email address, I'll send you a corrected photo. Angela

RE: Ecto gets serious! I've been having DH load the weight on me for squats and lunges. This worked really well for a while, but last night I needed more weight than he could curl up with his biceps. I may have to start going back to the gym...:-(

If you want to make sure your picture isn't distorted, you must crop it to 50 pixels square. If it's not this size, it will be shrunk to fit, and unless it's square, it won't be proportional - hence the stretched look. If you don't know how to edit your photo, I'd be happy to fix photos for...

Here's the latest: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=7&u=/ap/20040202/ap_on_en_tv/fbn_super_bowl_jackson_23

There are three body types. You may be only one or a mixture of two. Briefly they are: Ectomorph - small boned, thin, have difficulty gaining either fat or muscle, high metabolism Mesomorph - naturally athletic and gains muscle easily Endomorph - large boned, gains fat easily, slow...

Yes, Briee, I'm convinced S&H, reversing the count and cutting back on workouts from six times a week to three times a week has helped me. Here's a link to a current pic, if I can get it to work. It's not the greatest quality... http://www.cei.net/~kirkland/ang_gm.jpg It may not look too...

Hi Clare, Were you able to access the site? Did you see his before and after pix? He looks great, doesn't he? I asked if the program was adaptable for females and they told me ectos should train the same way - regardless of gender. I read about emphasizing the negative or eccentric portion...

I agree, Lynn. I've yet to find any powders or bars that don't make me feel bloated and gassy. I desperately need the extra protein and calories, so I keep experimenting with different brands. Balance bars are the ones that bother me the least.

Erin, I've been struggling with this issue, too. I'm 37. Lately, I've noticed an increase in PMS misery, trouble sleeping and I'd even wake up with what I guess are mild hot flashes. A friend loaned me the book "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause." What an eye opener...

Hey Briee! I'm so happy for you! I've been dropping in on the prego forum now and then to check on your big event. Glad to hear it went well. I'm sure you'll be feeling ecto-y again in no time. I've been doing really well. November through March is the time I usually have problems with my...

As Cathe says in one of the SH workouts: "Those get better with practice."

I love the floorwork on PLB! I like to tack it on to other lower body workouts 'cuz the ball work does more for my hamstrings than anything else I've tried. Angela
