Another vote for the fitness model level of muscularity, but the body building level is too much for me. Even on men, it's just too much for my tastes personally. 'Course I'm the type that doesn't care for a guy with a neck circumference larger than his head...

That's really gross, but on the other hand, don't you think you could tell that something had been worn? Hate to be graphic here, but don't you think you'd see and/or smell the evidence?

Congratulations! What an exciting time! I had a similar situation when I got engaged - a big family reunion was scheduled immediately after my hubby proposed. Like you, I thought I would wait to announce it until we had an immediate family gathering. Unfortunately, this was a mistake. A...

Hi Scott, I've had the best luck with the Slow and Heavy series. I've been using these workouts once a week and going as heavy as I can. Then I work each body part once more during the week using a lighter, faster endurance style workout. I've really been pushing myself to go heavier on S&H...

If there's any history of heart problems in the family, I'd sure think it was worth checking with your doctor, but I think the key words here are "power lifters."

That may be where the "higher percentage of muscle = higher metabolism and more calories burned, even at rest" comes into play.

Hi Phyllis, I started a new thread because I have tried to post a response to your question twice and it's not showing up for some reason. I've been through what you're going through. I have UC and have been on high dose pred a couple of times. I experienced the bloating, weight gain...

It's hard not to be curious, but even if we knew, I doubt if it would mean much. We're all very different in terms of metabolism, body type, level of activity, food sensitivities, etc. What might be more helpful would be to schedule a consultation with a personal trainer and/or nutrition expert...

I'm having trouble with mine, too. When I add the weight of a couple of dumbbells and sit on it, it really squashes down. When I complained about it, my husband pointed out that colder weather will cause it to feel less full. In warm weather, the air expands; in cold, it contracts. Then I...

I wondered how this would compare to Meaner Legs. I previewed it last night, but haven't done it yet. It looked to me like it would be tougher than Meaner Legs. We may have a new killer lower body workout! Angela P.S. Cathe's quads look more amazing than ever!:o

I hope there are some leg exercises using the ball like the stuff in PLB. The deal where you put one heel on the ball, raise the other leg in the air and push up gives my hams a better workout than anything else I've tried - even the same move on the step in PS Legs and Abs! Angela

Unfortunately, the UPS man had still not arrived at my parents when it was time for me to leave work. If I don't leave on time, I face terrible traffic trying to get out of town, so I had to go home without them.;( I was planning on trying Legs and Glutes, so I pulled out good ol' Meaner...

My DVDs are scheduled to arrive today. At the time I preordered, we were preparing to move and I was switching jobs, so I didn't know what my work or home address would be. I decided to have the DVDs shipped to my Mom's since we live in the same metro area. So, last week I call her and tell...

I'm in Arkansas. Maybe I didn't get my preorder in early enough. Sigh.

Everyone keeps saying there DVDs are scheduled to arrive right away. My email says next Tuesday! Dang it! What gives?

I've found the Lotte Berk series to be a very different, but very effective approach to working abs and lower body. Initially, I thought, "What, no weight? How hard can it be?" For me at least, it's very challenging. I skip the upper body stuff - not enough to bother with - but the abs, legs and...

YES! The wait is almost over! Yee-hah! :7

No way! I hate fighting the crowds! And in the past, I've always had to work the day after Thanksgiving. This is my first year to have it off - I'm taking it easy! I do a lot of my shopping online, anyway.

You can purchase l-glutamine in powdered form or capsules. I use the powder 'cuz it you'd have to swallow a lot of capsules for a larger dose. The powder is pretty much tasteless and I mix it in with my protein drink mix. I use Fitness Labs from Nutrition Express...

I kinda hate to admit this, but a couple of years ago, my Mom, who always cooked the big traditional turkey dinner, made plans to visit her sister out of state over the holidays and left us all high and dry. I was coping with some health problems at the time and my sister-in-law was on call, so...
