Programming Problems
Hello, I have been off the wagon for a while, but have returned to the world of health once again (Thank god). I recently picked up Rippetoe's beginner lifting program (again). I'm on my 4th week, and I think I've gotten rid of the initial quick gains; I've started focusing more on the power output and bar speed than…

Kevin Ware
WHY! This is under the chit-chat because I didn't know where else to place it... but seriously, how does this happen? Not enough training in certain areas? Poor diet? I mean it looks like the guy should have just landed with a broken ankle, but no.... (I'd rather not post the video, so feel free to search :noway: )

Physique Trainers vs Strength Trainers
I've been trying to figure out a new weight training schedule. I'm close to finishing New Rules of Lifting for Women, and I'm unsure what to do afterwards.

Juice Cleanse
I'm thinking of starting a 3-day juice cleanse/detox, and I'm curious to hear about anyone's experience(s) with it. Is it safe?! I read something about how your metabolism slows down and that you experience "side effects," like headaches and nausea. Is it worth it? I figure it's only three days compared to others who do it…

Instead of counting calories, make claories count!
I just read this somewhere. It explained how instead of counting calories from useless junk food containing no nutritional value whatsoever, make the calories you do consume matter, like ones that come with protein and fiber. For example, instead of grabbing a 100 calorie snack pack, pick a serving of almonds instead. It…
