I, too, oredered from them this summer. Best price around and very fast delivery. Pretty helpful on the phone, too.

You can also use a spotter to assist you w/ pull-ups: bend your knees and have someone support you under your shins. Then you can push off their hands just enough to help you complete a rep. Do the negative part w/o their help. Keep trying - it will not be long before you can do these on your own!

I am not sure what kind of workouts that you will be doing, but POST workout (30-60min) your body will readily replenish its glycogen stores with a 50% dextrose/ 50% whey protein shake - you do not have to worry about your body storing this as fat! If you are doing a longer endurance type...

Well Makedah, Since you also love BS tea, Ill pass this along to you. My friend insists that oatmeal made with BS tea is delicious. Although I love both, I have not gotten up the courage to try them together. Woof

"Why does your family all eat like you're on a diet, when you don't need to?" So funny FitFossil!!! There is this secretary (fat) here at work that gives me that sh*t all the time: "I wish I were like YOU and could eat anything I want". Yeah right. I have been dying to answer: "NO honey, if I...

I hear ya, flexygirl. Some stuff I picked up from this board: 1) tell yourself: "nothing tastes better than looking good/being ripped/performing well feels!" 2) force yourself to undress and look in the mirror before stuffing your face w/ junk 3) look at a picture of some ripped person you...

BBF, Oh I am with you for sure on that one - that is why I eat the meat and brocolli instead of the pizza!!! And Spatts, I am envious of your dislike of carbs and love of meat and veggies. I was kind of hoping that if I weaned (sp?) myself off of the carbs that I eventually wouldn't crave them...

Well, I am a type O and I actually have been trying to move towards a diet w/ less carbs. I have oatmeal for bfast and lean meat (chick, buffalo, beef, tuna, salmon) for the rest of my meals along w/ salads and lots of brocolli. My question for y'all: Don't you miss bread, pasta, potatoes...

Thanks everyone, Ive heard mixed reviews on extensions - my PT said to stay away from them (too much stress on the knee) but I have also heard that if you limit the ROM to the last 20 deg that they really isolate the VMO. So, I just might try incorporating the 4 exercises that y'all mentioned...

hello, I had an ACL replacement (left knee) a few yrs ago and my VMO on the left side is STILL noticeably smaller than my right. What are some exercises that might help equalize them? thanks

Thanks fit fossil, The links were very informative. I am going to try to pick up a copy of Dr Uzzi's book for me and my doc (he is very progressive). Im really not sure what to do about this problem - it is more of a problem for my husband than for me:D ! About the test gel from the compounding...

thanks for the reply witkowsd, so your doc put you on it just for helping your training? wow. do you notice an increased libido (or was it fine before)? had you tested low for test? thanks again.

Flax oil goes well on salads w/ some balsamic vinegar or on cooked veggies w/ some Parmesian cheese. It also goes well in protein shakes or smoothies - the taste is masked by the other flavors. The only thing that you canNOT do w/ flax oil is cook w/ it - heat breaks it down.

I have an appt w/ my doctor tomorrow to discuss my low (more like non-existant) libido. On the phone, he mentioned the possibility of putting me on Estratest: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/uspdi/202037.html Does anyone know how this would affect my athletic ability? I realize that...

Hi jenscats5, Check out this link re: grip strength: http://www.ironmind.com/crushed.shtml I have a the trainer and the #1 gripper but have not really used them since buying them over a yr ago. Right now (untrained), I can close the trainer 5-8 times (right hand) and 3-5 times left hand...
