Hi Lynn, Pick up a copy of Body for Life by Bill Phillips (not Body for Life for Women! Different book.) It lays it all out - eating, working out, the mind game. Much easier to get it all in one place than to get pieces here and there! If that one is too much, the other possibility is the...

:worried:

I work with engineers - how this hits the nail on the head!

How to stop wanting her: Quit sleeping in the same bed. Quit using the washroom when she's in it. Quit touching/hugging/holding her. Treat her as an administrative assistant or someone else you work with. Be professional. Get an evening job - so when she's home with the daughter, you're out...

Even the terminally ill who have been mentioned so often will not, according to my reading, look to suicide unless they are also depressed. Probably the best definition for suicide I have seen is 'A permanent solution to a temporary problem.' For a 'rational person to weigh the options' and...

Define "ruthless". If it means making the hard decisions (like you said "we don't want to give up his current job" - that is a decision), then yes, absolutely, a person HAS to be willing to change, move out of the comfort zone, try new things, follow the dream/plan/goal, MAKE the...

People without chairs do just fine. Squats anyone?

There was just as much media attention and freaking out as global warming! I was only nine years old and I still remember being scared of the 'new ice age'.

Wherever I can! I really enjoy the southern Gulf Islands off of Vancouver Island and the West Coast around Tofino is incredible. I almost drown myself in a riptide off Long Beach a couple of years ago - the other guy got to tow me back in after the boat and I went different directions! The...

Sea kayaker here - Current Designs Storm boats X 2, wetsuit/drytop and all the safety gear.

Um, no. Actually, it has an equal or greater carbon cost than straight hydrocarbons - they don't factor in the cost in carbon to grow the stuff, fertilize it (fuel for tractor, oil based fertilizer, etc.). Tangent: I'm not sure that burning hydrocarbons is a problem - after all, all that...

Hi all, so sorry I didn't get back to you on this. Yes, I will try front squats, hip flexor stuff and video! Thank you all for the great ideas - I'll try to let you know how it turns out.

Well, I like the idea of not bulking/cutting! Now, I'll just get to 17% ish and start the muscle building. Thank you!

I'm not really interested in comp - more in functional strength and in 'looking good' for me. I'd like to start bulk/cut cycles, but I'm not sure if there's info out there on the differences women have when they build muscle - slower? plateaus? etc.

Hi Tat (or anyone else!), Do you have any good detailed articles on natural muscle building for women (or men, that apply)?
