An example occured just last evening - my wife wasn't feeling well, and went up to lie down after work. I ate just a middle-eastern type salad that I like (tomatoes, cucumbers, oilive oil, parsley,...

I don't think anybody is blaming anyone. I'm not. I mentioned at the outset that my spouse does nothing to undermine my eating and that she too goes to the gym. But when I'm alone, I tend to tighten...

If I were single, I think better eating would be a little easier.

When I eat alone, I tend to eat less. For one thing, there's something slightly depressing about eating alone. Frankly, I'm not...

Age + shoulder exercises with heavy weight = injury.

But I guess you already learned that lesson the hard way.

As already stated, see another doctor. That's too long a time for your uncle to be...

As Alex suggests, ask him to see a doctor first. make sure he has no underlying health issues.

After that, I'm not sure that 'putting him on' a program is the best thing. You're 16, he's 55. You...

When I started reading articles about the top-shelf bodybuilders, it was easy to see that they all looked top-level and yet all did things at least somewhat differently. Since they all look the same...

My sister had a similar experience. She's no lifter or anything, but she started seeing flashes. Sure enough, the retina is close to detachment.

In some ways I look better, in some areas not.

I'm certainly not as good-looking. But last I checked, the face is kind of hard to work on in the gym.

I'm bigger; arguably stronger.

But when...

As I predicted, the doc ordered a CAT Scan, which is scheduled next week.

Interestingly, since the exam, I've had virtually no pain. I'm wondering if I have a reducible hernia, which, by pressing...

Well, it's been over a month and I'm just not healing from abdominal muscle pain and soreness. I've discontinued all workouts during that period. I do engage in normal activities and have not taken...

In some areas, true. In other areas (I'm thinking science, for example), not necessarily true.

In science, an argument can be made plain perhaps, but that doesn't mean that "everyone" will grasp...

Rip-off. $3.50 for a box of, what, like a dozen cookies? If I'm gonna cheat, I want to do it without being cheated.

I call them "money" reps. The reps you didn't think you could do when you began the set. You get to, say, 10 and realize that you've got a good bit of energy left and can do more. So instead of...

It's inspiring to read about these examples. I'm still almost 20 years away from 70, but already "feeling it" joint-wise especially. I can only imagine what another 20 years might do in terms of...

Well, your rule of thumb puts me at a 675lb deadlift. Oh, and a 450lb bench press. Where did you come up with these numbers?

I did only biceps curls for a long time too. I thought they were all I needed. Until I hit my late 40s and found this site, I didn't realize that other body parts needed to be worked. I just didn't...

I've wondered, not so much about the acid content, but about the frequency of eating associated with the common bodybuilder diet - 5 to 7 smaller meals per day - and what that could do to dental...

Deadlifts, though I have had to scale back due to lower back issues.

When it comes to pulls, I'm just not a fan. I do rows, etc., only because I have to for balance purposes - I don't want that...

One dilemma of the DB press has always been that since your chest is stronger than your arms, the toughest part of the exercise is getting the DBs into position. Once there, pressing them up is...
