Correct me if I am wrong...but shouldn't experiments like this be for longer terms. Say, six weeks "on" and six weeks "off". Should we have a placebo (control) group and then a peer group and affect group? This could be a big splash! (Pun intended) We could get published...(in what Maxim?)...

I would look into your state's requirements...and specifically the requirements of the agencies that you wish to work for. These are usually posted in their "Job Opportunities" sections of their web sites. One agency here has the following P.T. requirements... There are 5 physical fitness...

Deviance, There are differing opinions on using support equipment just as there are on any topic. The rational of not using straps or gloves or belts for that matter goes something like this. If you use a piece of equipment to support part of your body, you will be come dependent upon it. I...

I will second the isolation theory. If you want symetry you have to work the muscles individually. You may never be able to completely overcome the genetics that made you what you are, but don't let this discourage you though, I have been able to equal out many differences by isolating each...

While I do not have small wrists, I can attest to pain. Last winter I shattered the outside two metacarpals in my right hand and dislocated a few bones in my wrist. It was all pinned back together for six weeks and is "somewhat" as good as new. I have found that stretching and warming up has...

Sincerely I compare myself to myself. That is why I make a journal and keep track of what is going on with me and my body. I compare myself to last week, last month and even the last decade. I will never be you or anyone else so why would I strive to look like anyone esle? My goals are to...

I'm only back to squatting 225 in the fourth set. This week was the first time back in a squat rack in a long time and I'm still paying for it (my legs that is). I'm just curious as to what people are doing not what the "experts" are saying. MJ

that is the questions! I have seen opinions vary from "expert" to "expert" and even regurgitated opinions from people that had their best friend's father's vet tell them not to use or to use a weight belt. Having grown old enough to learn that opinions are like anuses, everyone has one and...

Well guys and gals, I'm making a comeback as some of you might know. I severely injured my back in 1996 and have slowly made my way out of therapy and back into the gym. I have been a HITter for a long time and have been very conscious of form and intensity along the way. Today was the day to...

Anyone here ever go to anabolics.com and read their hype about their products? While it makes sense to me their "steroid expert" looks like he is only 165 pounds and that by all means makes me feel a little uneasy. Just curious. MJ

A good friend of mine is a card carrying pro. He will freely admit to you that they use drugs for every aspect of the sport. Including speed to help melt off the fat before a contest. In the same setting he will tell you about the failed kidneys, stone hard liver and bad stomach he has from...

So, if the whole of it is B/S...but some parts are good. Does that mean since part of you is anus that all of you is? Just curious? Seriously though, you have to take into account what is good for you and what is not. One very important thing about bodybuilding is genetics. You may respond...

Grizzly, Have you ever tried to use HIT principles in your workouts for a sufficient period of time to see actual results? If you have and they did not work for you then quit reading now. If you have not read on. HIT, while not typical of the masses, is a lifestyle. It needs to be built...

I'll second the banana and the stretching advice. Both are very fundamental things that should not be over looked. MJ

Well I hate to break this to you, but you cannot do the best of both at the same time. You should focus on what you really want to do more. Do you want the mass or the cut first? Also, and I wish that I could find the study, it has been shown that people that are more than 10% overweight will...
