Thanks!

I think I'll be looking at the motivations of female bodybuilders actively building muscular bodies despite traditional notions of ideal feminine body type (taking the body/musculature far...

This is an interesting topic. And I tend to believe this issue is deeply embedded in a gray area, not so much in the black or white. How do Chris Tina's levels compare to other cisgendered female...

Hi all,

I'm currently getting my MA, and considering a few thesis options. I've been leaning fairly heavily towards a topic centered around women's bodybuilding. Unfortunately, I have limited...

Left arm... = elbow? shoulder?

Perhaps this is one of those questions that is too complex to give a sufficient answer via internet. If the arm gives you serious trouble during activities you...

I might also pay attention to whether the exercises (regardless of machine or not) are closed chain or open chain.

Generally speaking, closed chain exercises transmit far less force to a joint...

Patellofemoral problems???

I had similar issues as I was rehabbing a reconstructed ACL. Hmmm, though I can't recall exercises that were specifically targeted to alleviate this problem. ...

UGH! My heart(knees?) go out to you. I hung up my ultimate cleats after tearing both ACLs by 22 (4 years ago). This February I went to say hi to some friends, literally ran deep and jumped for one...

Don't know where you are since you first posted, but just thought I'd toss in my 2 cents. If you're young and active, (and it sounds like you are) I would indeed recommend the surgery. It's true...

No reason you can't get them if you think you want them - hair always grows back. A good number of female boxers have them

By saying it just "doesn't happen" do you mean you're initiating sex and he is turning it down? If it doesn't happen just because he doesn't start it, and you don't start it... well, I'd say step it...

I do wish there were more women in the weight room, and if anyone asked me, I'd encourage them.... but at least it means more room for me in there

Wait then... what do you mean by damages? And what do you mean by she and she alone should pay damages? (particularly when you conceded that bio-dad should be held responsible and pay) If this is...

If I am reading the main posters' posts correctly... i do believe that there is (some) agreement among them.

There are three people in this scenario, aside from the kid

(1) Duped dad - I think...

I'm pretty sure limniade did agree that, yes, a man who takes on the "father" role under the false assumption that he is the biological father is not financially responsible for the kid once the...

JK - I understand what you mean. As long as people understand, and identify me as a woman, I believe I am re-defining the concept of woman by, for example, having pride in my strengths, including...

Perhaps I didn't communicate effectively -

I'm all for getting past the labels -- and in my opinion, man and woman is just another label.

The accusation that I might be "trying to become...

To the OP:

I haven't read the book, and want to put that out there right away (though from the looks of things, no one else here has either). However issues of gender/sexuality/empowerment/agency...

yes indeed. Or i do a hot chocolate like drink w/ part milk, part water, bit of cocoa powder, chocolate whey (making sure to add AFTER it has been heated), a bit of dark chocolate to make it more...

Deadlifts, hmmmm; assuming the squats are (joint) pain free, those are still your best. Leg press is okay; I'd be cautious with the leg extension though. I'm in a similar boat, as in I tore both...

Lots of people suspect dairy when dealing w/ GI problems. While dairy can be problematic, i think lactose intolerance is thrown around a bit to much these days.

Systematically eliminate certain...
