  • What part of NOOBIES, aka "WOMEN WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WEIGHTS" as opposed to people that have been doing it for years was unclear here? Seriously? You're "offended" that a woman asked him a question in order to learn more about weight training? GTFOI. Jeezus.
  • Add me as well - I'm in the market for fitness buddies. ;}

Grab yourself some Optimum Nutrition Whey (20+ flavors, I think?),or Six Stars (more expensive, but lower cal/higher protein) or whatever brand works for you. Keep your proteins lean, (pork…
  • How does one friend people? I'm not seeing anything helpful..
  • Hi all, I'm older & wiser fatter too, looking to lose it and get it back together again - slowly getting my diet plan together, although it's the exercise that has always made the biggest difference for me. Wishing all of us luck and perseverance!
