The Rainbow Bridge and saying goodbye
After reading posts, I notice some of us have had the difficult decision to have to say goodbye to our best friends....I thought maybe we could have a special place here to pay homage to them. Everytime I held one of mine while they were cossing the Rainbow Bridge I left a piece of my heart behind. To all people on here…

Tick prevention
Just wanted to hear what people do for their dogs...mine is on Trio. And since she has Lyme disease I try to tell people to be careful. Believe me it is worth the investment...my dog will never reach her full potential. She is on antibiotics every day for 6 months, and the neurological issues are endless. She had it when I…

Lat activation during pull ups
In order to develop my lats even more, I love doing pullups. But... Discussion today: I guess I am not activating part 3 of my lats ( lower point). By look? All 3 parts are well developped. But... I was told " feel them engage". Well I don't. I do feel most of the muscle as soon as it gets into position... Not the bottom…

Change in training routine and scared :(
wellI am a Spartan racer. Like big time... 10 races this year so far. But my sponsors have asked me to give crossfit a try, which means changing my training.

Muscles and body image (woman)
well, let's face it. I have muscles. Like a lot of muscles. I train hard, and eat right. So... My issue is the way people perceive me, and call me. Since I lift heavy, and have the muscles to prove it, i have been call at the gym "beast", " machine", " tank", etc... Always with admiration, true, but i dislike theses words.…

Funny anecdote with powerclean
well I know a coach who will be more careful when he says " if too heavy just push it in front"... i did. Guess who did not move fast enough??? The guy can curse in many languages. Too bad he was wearing converse instead if steel boots....
