Farmer walk implements: 115lbs for 140ft. (one turn) With dbs? I've routinely carried 90 and 100lbs in the gym. You know, having to put 'em away for the so-called "big, strong" male trainees who leave 'em lying around on the gym floor. I'd say I've carried 'em for 20-30 ft.

Diet and training is not gender specific. Only individual specific. Therefore, you eat and train according to YOUR needs. I would say this: think about boxers. No matter if they're beginners or veterans, they NEED to eat so that they do maintain the stamina necessary in the ring. If they...

Ha, this has been funny. I'm flattered. Actually them covers of WW (191-197), will be the only ones my physique will be used. Alas, after Adam Hughes (cover artist extraordinaire) had won the Eisner Award (comic book industry's answer to the Oscar) as Best Cover Artist; DC Comics...

If you mean the gym where everyone's curling in the squat rack, wearing gloves for 5lb concentration curls and no one squats below parallel since, you know, it's "bad" for your knees? Yeah, that be the gym. And yes, I keep to myself and what everyone does should not affect what I do in the...

Straps are good on the dealift when the concern is to really target/concentrate on the back. I don't use straps when I'm in the 80% region of my 1RM. Before that, I still do use straps. And don't forget dimels and rack pulls to assist in the deads.

I can write a paper several pages long regarding my experience training through asthma. What type of doc is your regular physician? I had been going to a local clinic and my longterm regular physician was one who specialized in "internal medicine". After several weeks of NOT being able to...

I have seen people leaving with their belts on; even after they've gotten into their cars. Heh, have seen 'em wearing their belts while grocery shopping. I guess groceries can get pretty heavy. :)

Great timing! Recently began searching for the PERFECT calendar for my desk at work. This just might do. Kewl!

You know, I really believe that to be true. Since I talk about beer all the time and really, really drink alot of beer. So, that makes sense, right? :beer: But wait..does that REALLY mean that since I talk about beer all the time, that I'm really a....beer? :alien:

I'm usually too busy either getting ready to lift or spotting my bf to even notice if anyone's staring. But then, of course guys are gonna stare; just like there are chicks that are starin' at guys. I sometimes think if they are starin' at me, it's at the weights on the bar that I'm liftin...

No, you don't need to abort your deadlifts just due to a weak grip. We would perform our higher rep sets w/out straps and our 1RM deads w/straps. At the end of every other back session or after a deads session, we also perform deadlift holds. We hold the weight for just three 30-second...

It's all I did for months. Primary reason was to work on that all-important form; however, after those months of hard work, I saw what it did to my back. After a few months of just deadlifting, I began to incorporate all the assistant exercises such as good mornings. Result? Not only a...

Beautiful children and great pics! :D

Pwr_machine and anya: If you wanna sell or just promote more of your work; there are a few online sites you can do that for free. Artwanted.com (I have a "mini" portfolio there), and the portfolios.com site has a free option as well. You can also check into the Graphic Artists Guild (I'm a...

Benevolent A: ahhh, forgot (shame on me) about sex. And you're right about a healthy sex life. Thanks all. The reason I began this is that after a break from artwork, I recently began drawing and sculpture again. It made me think that there was some sort of connection between my artwork and...
