A Few Days Without Doing Weights....The Ache?
Hi All; I'm pretty new to the whole 'lifting' thing, and so I apologise if this is a really dumb question! I have recently started lifting again after a break of about three years.

Now Doing This The Healthy Way
Hi All, I'm not expecting anyone to reply or add me, as I'm doing this more for myself, kinda like an 'affirmation' as to why I'm here. I suffered with anorexia a couple of years ago and lost a lot of weight (down from 168lbs to 110lbs). Since then I have recovered and gained back quite a bit of that weight (now 134lbs),…
