Not adding much, just bumping to learn more about bulking

I second the Convict Conditioning. I use these ideas for the night that I cant get to the gym. The book is great and takes you from baby steps all the way through into extreme exercises...one arm pull ups, one handed handstand pushups etc. It is meant to guide you and train not only your muscles but your tendons and…

Just squeaked onto the list at #20! Its 45 in Boston now and tomorrow its supposed to be 20!

It depends on your program. If you are bulking or trying to build muscle then do all of your sets together. If you doing a HIIT type of program then you would cycle your way through the exercises.

Here is a great article that Bodybuilding.com posted recently. Jim Stoppani is one of the best when it comes to supliments and the science behind them. Google him, very interesting guy and very smart! The article explains when to take creatine to maximize its usage.…

I guess I should start by stating the obvious...I am not a woman but Aileen was nice enough to invite me (thank you). I feel that when it comes to lifting, and bulking in particular, it really doesnt matter if you are male or female the lifting is the same. I am currently on an upper/lower split with mosly compound lifts…

Sounds like you are jaundice which is typically a sign of liver issues. I would push your doctor to be seen MUCH sooner than a couple of weeks. This could be very serious! (I am not a doctor or in the medical field, my wife is so I know a very little)

Thank God this is over and I am so happy he is alive and torturable! (maybe not a word but I like it) :)

That man was from my hometown of Chelmsford Mass. Amazing how such tragedy bring forth the true heroes of our community!

I work in downtown Boston and actually went into the office for a few minutes this morning. I should have taken it as a sign to go home when a Homeland Security Officer pointed his assault rifle at my commuter van. I am home now and very happy to be here! I have never experienced anything like this ever! It's crazy! I am…

Thank you everyone! Taking pictures was the best thing I ever did

I use Optimum Creatine 2500mg and the Optimum Hydro Builder protein that has 5g per scoop in it - I have been using for years and have seen some definite increases in muscle mass and my max weights have significantly increased.

I wear Levi's 569, loose fit, straight leg - they fit me very well

My 3 year old son loves "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel" and "Katy and the Big Snow" by the same author. My 7 year old daughter is getting more into chapter books

Optimum Hydro Builder - Chocolate or Vanilla I like the Hyrdo Builder because it has creatine in it.

Do you lift at all? If not, you should! The dreadmill will only take you so far. Start building some muscle and let the muscle burn the fat. Google "Stonglifts 5x5" This is a great program and forces you to keep increasing weight and making progress.

This week I am starting a more home based workout. I have been using the gym but I need to be home more with the family and I have equipped myself at home for a great workout. I have Convict Conditioning and it really is a great book and great concept. I also have a heavy bag. I recently bought the Gold's Gym 7 - in - 1…
