Hi My DH has always ignored my workouts but we have all been training alot lately and ended up in the workout room together. (My DD and he were doing bowflex and treadmill) I was doing Stepblast and then several body parts from Pyramid Upper (5 set). He got a respectful look on his face...

Hi I think SB is an excellent workout but something bugs me about it. The reps on the biceps don't match and the reps/different positioning on the floorlegs are off too. I think it's a tough excellent workout other than that defect. But that issue bothers me. I would wait for the remakes due...

I have the same situation w/ my older sister and I tell myself it's for the kids. However I go to her house and give them the gifts b/c it's only 60 miles round trip. She will "forget" my DD's bday, then tell me she's going to save the gift and "recycle" it for the holidays. :( However, I do...

Hi What position do you hold? I'm an attorney and I always treated the secretaries like gold b/c they are the GATEKEEPER. They know all, they have all the prior memos/motions in their hardrive, they speak to judges' aids every day etc. etc. I have never understood the stupidity of treating...

Hi I can totally relate to what you felt and because of that, I have been doing something that works great for me. I only weigh myself about 1x a month. I don't eat after dinner (sometimes a piece of fruit) and I eat lots of veggies w/ my meals (either salad or cooked). I exercise hard 5-6x...

RE: To AquaJock /Lap Swimmers: Advice on Swimming for C... Hi My DD swims 6 days a week, 2 hours a day. Granted she has the advantage of youth (12 1/2 y.o.) but she has such amazing posture, beautiful muscles in her shoulders and the tiniest butt and hips. A size zero falls off her hips...

Weights: Leaner Legs and CTX Upper make me feel like I really worked hard--love them! Power Hour, MIS, ME, Pyramid Upper more than Pyramid lower (too many quick changes on the barbell for me--I long for a 2nd bb when I do it) Cardio- my treadmill the most, SB, KPC Circuit- SB/SJP step...

RE: Anybody else feel Hi I am envious of anyone that puts on muscle so easily. I always try to lift as heavy as I can w/ good form b/c w/o weights, I pretty much have no shape, just a stick straight figure. Now that I'm 41, it takes me alot longer to put on muscle too. I'm just getting back...

Hi I use splenda but I keep forgetting to make a trip to the health food store to try stevia. I am no expert but I think it simply is a natural plant extract that is sweet and lo cal. (I think 600x sweeter than sugar so you only use a small amount) It's only approved as a nutritional...

Hi I try to tell myself that people who are making back handed compliments or are critical are just not happy w/ themselves and need to put other people down to feel better about themselves. I try to feel sorry for them so that I don't get upset and make myself feel bad. I also keep the...

RE: Crosstraining for the Hardcore Series - FirmDancer I'm alittle worried b/c I got what I think was the flu and was unable to workout for over 3 weeks. I lost 8 lbs but I'm sure it included some muscle. I am just starting my workouts again and I hope I will be in good enough shape when the...

I don't know if there's something wrong w/ me but I actually like doing LL. I love the way it moves so quickly w/o breaks. I also really like doing deadlifts. However, it did make my butt really sore this last time b/c I had been really sick and couldn't work out for 3 weeks. I also like...

I enjoy reading both of their posts, one b/c of their educational info and the other b/c of their practical experience. I just wish there wasn't the antagonism b/t the parties. :( /karen

I don't have S&H (yet!) I love PUB but I did CTX upper for the first time yesterday and it actually made me sore, which very rarely happens to me. It was a good tough upper body workout. I think PUB may be alittle tougher though, b/c of all the sets. If you heavy up, you will be working...

I think Annette's answer is very helpful! (way better than mine) I'm amazed by the level of knowledge available from the workout crowd here. /karen

I don't have an answer except that I've noticed that I can match Cathe on all weights just about every time except triceps. So triceps are hard for me. I think each of us has our own challenges and I guess biceps are your challenge. Lucky for you, you still have great development in them. I...

Actually, I believe DC has a HUGE minority population, which could also explain their voting pattern in favor of Kerry. JMHO /karen
