Cool! Looking sweet in your avatar! Looking and feeling on the money, who cares about the numbers?!

Hi Frisky, sorry to hear you are suffering. For OTC joint anti inflammatories there are two I know, both topical creams/gels. Voltaren Emulgel by Novartis and Feldene PGel by Pfizer. For a more natural approach you could try Rhuta Grav cream and supplement with MSM capsules. Your doc might...

Very nice work! Most comments have been re. back, and rightly so but I think arms too are beautiful. Congrats and all the best from here on!

All the Dymatize stuff mixes great in water, I only know the standard flavors but it is cheap yet good quality, I get mine from Bodybuilding.com. It is much smoother and richer than Designer which I am never going back to... Dymatize is a double thumbs up!

A friend of mine here in Tokyo (Japan is ultra anti tattoos) got theatrical make up to cover her two large tatts. It worked a treat! She had to guess how dark she would be for the contest but I was amazed when I saw how well they covered. Please don't let it hold you back! I saw one other lady...

Do you add on the weight of the bar? Hell yes! If for example I am doing bench then the bar weight totals a third of my poundage... why would I not want to include this in my training log?

You can buy Arnica cream in any vitamin , supplement or healthfood store. I pick mine up in the UK whenever I go back and its not too expensive, maybe $5 a tube? I also just got a lotion from bodybuilding. com which has arnica, MSM and glucosamine for joints which is very good but plain and...

I have no idea about causes and susceptibility but arnica cream works a treat for speeding their healing!

Cottage Cheese? Tofu dessert?

For me its just being in the gym. I have fave exercises and those which I have a weird love , hate but total respect for like squats. At the mo I am totally into deadlifts, I only started doing them a month ago but they rock. Somehow I feel strong mentally and physically when I do them... and am...

Big fan of Dymatize stuff, especially the chocolate Supreme Whey Protein but for really good value I use their Elite Whey at $25 ish from Bodybuilding .com. But everyone's different. I used to try different brands at my gym's protein bar so I wouldn't end up buying something other people said...

Hi Sassy, just read your thread after a few days away from the board and I'd just like to say, Wow. You look really, really good. Thank you for putting up the pics and for using one as your avatar. It rocks. Good luck, and I am so looking forward to progress updates. You have a great physique...

Shadow, please post as much as you can. You rock. Diet stuff and please keep posting about other training issues too, all your posts are, in my opinion, like gold.

I think (and others may well disagree) that 8 to 10 pounds of muscle by February is an unrealistic aim. Of course everyone is different and muscle gain is connected to length of years in training, (longer the history, slower the gains), but have you also added in the fat gains to this target? I...

Thanks Joe, I appreciate your input. Is naprosyn the generic name or a brand name? Cool. Now I can ask my friend to go shopping for me. Thanks a lot.
