Using Light Weights to Build Muscle Mass
Hmmmm, interesting article .... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/04/120430105358.htm I think I'll just stick with the heavy weights, personally... but, nevertheless, as the article states, lighter weights can be a good alternative for those with joint issues.

It's Iron Bowl Saturday, so in honor of this great rivalry, I made sure I got in a good hour workout with the weights this morning. Now, time to relax and get ready to watch the Tide Roll!!!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!! :)

Defective HRM??
So I got a Polar FT7 3 weeks ago and have used it 10 times thus far. At first, everything seemed to be working just fine ... but for the past 3-4 times that I've used it, I've noticed that it just "hangs" on a heart rate. For instance, if I'm doing bench presses and my heart rate peaks at 190, when I'm done with the set…

Wow!
Okay, so after starting off by buying a stationary desk-top type handcycle for cardio work ... and then a new weight set for strength training ... and a new weight bench for aforementioned strength training ... I finally got a HRM! It was a birthday present and it just came in today, so after getting it all set up, I put…

Sore Abs from Incline Bench Press???
Okay, so this past weekend I got my new weight bench put together and put it to use by doing 6 sets of 8 reps of inclined bench presses (probably more than I should have done but I was excited) as well as some dumbbell flys. Yesterday and today, I've noticed that my abdominal section is really sore ... more so than my…

Not *really* a NSV, but something cool nevertheless ...
So, after about 7 months of exercising and logging all of my workout and cardio routines via the fitness program my company offers, I finally built up enough points to order a weight set that I've had my eye on since about day one! A $200 weight set (per Amazon.com's prices) for FREE ... just for exercising and keeping…

Woa ... my first NSV! :)
Okay, so first of all I have to say that, technically speaking, anything "positive" in regards to my weight/physique would be a NSV for me since I can't really weigh myself. :tongue: That being said, some vacation pics from our trip to the beach got posted on my FB account and one of my wife's friends commented on a…

Anyone else use Sweet Sweat?
So does anyone else use Sweet Sweat when they work out? I personally don't sweat very much when I'm working out unless it's just really, REALLY hot. I read some reviews on this Sweet Sweat and so I thought I'd give it a try, and I have to admit that it does what it says ... it makes me sweat! This is after just a 20 minute…

A newcomer ... but not really ...
Okay, so I've actually been a member of MFP since February 2010 and I stuck around for a while, but then I kind of faded away and didn't get on here for months. Then in March of this year, I started working out and monitoring my foods with a renewed determination and desire to really make a difference. I was logging my…

Rewards Program
The company I work for is good about promoting a healthy lifestyle. Earlier this year, they started participating in a program that basically rewards points every time you log your workout. You can log up to three workouts per week for 100 points each ... and when you log three workouts in a week, you get an extra 200…
