I have used a lot of different supplements over the years. So has my husband. I'm against supplements. I know some people like them but every supplement I've been on was pretty dangerous. Actually...

I've used trainers to help me with my form. You can't always see that your back is straight or whatever. So they can be an extra pair of eyes to help remind you what your body should feel like while...

Losing fat is about things being perfect. In order to lose fat you need to lift weights and do less cardio. Cardio will eventually start to use your muscles for energy, not fat. So that weight you...

Starting out? If you are starting out you don't want to do really heavy weights or you may be extremely sore for one or two days. Delayed onset muscle soreness will kick in and then you will have to...

His wife isn't trained though or she could do pull ups. Most women cannot do a pull up and he was asking if most women could. Doesn't mean they can never do one, but it means that most will never...

True, I'm already trying to compare myself to a minority of women who will lift free weights. And I'm not a machine person. I do love to use a leg press but that's the only machine I touch. I...

I'm trying to judge myself against the norm to see possibly what percentile I'm in. It's like taking a test in college. You know, when you take it and you get a C you want to know what the rest of...

I recently purchased The Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding and Arnold Schwarzenegger says that training for women is different depending on goals. But he said that the book does not talk in depth about...

I'm not a bodybuilder. I'm 30 years old and I've always been active. In 2003/2004 I lifted weights and was 5'2", 98 pounds with 13 percent body fat. I could do about 290 on a leg press and I'd use...
