    What size do u consider to be skinny?

    Good commentary.... This is clearly an issue that strikes a nerve deep within all of us as women... I think we all struggle with our perceptions of ourselves in terms of body image...self acceptance...no, self LOVE is a hard concept to internalize sometimes, especially when there are so many...

    Decline bench for sts?? How did u do your 1RM?

    Hi all! Is a decline bench necessary for STS? How about slanted risers? Also, how exactly should I do my 1RM testing? Should I warm up, then use my 1RM tests as my w/o for the day? Can I do another DVD (say, Crossfire) then do some 1RM testing? Help! :-) Thx!!!
