I joust found this while surfing- totally serendipitous! Anatomy Site

I agree with Chthonian- you need a full evaluation, including an MRI, to ascertain whether or not you've got a disk problem. And a "hernia" usually refers to a rupture of the ligaments of the inguinum (where the thigh meets the crotch), but anything can "herniate," meaning...

Thanks guys! Actually, I'm out of the sling now (to prevent frozen shoulder), and while uncomfortable, it's good to be able to move. Still, I won't be doing any benches soon All the best- Jake PS: Congratulations on being elevated to Expert, Fausto!!!

Hi all- Alas, I'm going to have to take a leave from training for a while- I suffered a minor shoulder separation (class 1, so it could have been a LOT worse) in a bike crash. I know this is a bit off-topic, but I just wanted to remind everyone who cycles (bikes, mopeds, scooters, whatever)...

Last I checked, ON Natural used stevia as the sweetener. Not that I mind- it's about the only one that doesn't give me a bitter aftertaste, but according to the FDA, stevia is the devil's work (untested in trials, blah, blah, blah). Never mind that it's been used in Central and South America for...

I'm 55- lifted in high school, but then stopped and got fat after I got out of the Navy. I started lifting again (mostly HIT-style) in 1999, and then found religion (HST, that is) about a year or two later. I never went back after HST- I've been doing it now for over four years and am extremnely...

As to DLs, sure- I'd alternate them with squats. As to forearms- that's why I do reverse EZ curls- these hit mine nicely, but may not work for you. You could also try forward and reverse DB wrist curls.

Welcome to the Forum and HST, sidewayz! I'd recommend a push-pull split if you're going AM/PM. Here's a sample routine: AM (Push): Squats Incline (<45 degrees- try 20) bench presses Arnold presses Tris (I like standing DB extensions best, but your option) PM (Pull): SLDLs Pullups or...

Right- no problem with six, or five, or four, for that matter. A number of us in here have experimented, successfully, with cycles like these. Three-days are good for those who tend to overtrain or whose schedules don't allow for more frequency, or whatever. But if you have the time and the...

Either would work just fine, but I'd be inclined to do the 15RM session next week.

Holy cow- that's a *lot* of unnecessary (and bad) fat- and it's not all the eggs' fault)! So switch to nonfat milk, and that will help to some degree (assuming you don't mind it- if you do, add a packet of nonfat milk powder to every 16oz of skim milk, and it's very much like whole).

They are two different exercises that hit different body parts! The squat is a "push" and hits your quads primarily. The DL (not the SLDL) is a "pull" that primarily hits your lower back and glutes. The SLDL is also a "pull" but targets the hammies. I wouldn't do...

Hardrock- Good to hear from another oldtimer! I've been doing 6x/week, push-pull splits, only 5 exercises per. Sounds like a lot, doing this every day but Sunday (or whenever), but keeping the number of lifts down to a minimum helps a lot, even when I get to the 5s, especially because I keep the...

Fiber One is great! I also like oat bran with ground flaxseed, dried cranberries, and crushed walnuts or almonds.

And from me as well. Sheesh- with O&G gone, I'm probably just about the oldest guy in here (55). Let's hope his absence isn't permanent- I learned a lot from the ol' guy!

Bicycling. I'm fortunate to live in a city with *great* trails and bike lanes and so forth. I incorportate HIIT most of the time- other times, I just ride, ride, ride

I generally feel great afterwards, except in this heat!!!!

If this is your first cutting cycle, I'm not sure why you're going low-GI, rather than just cutting cals, but here goes (for starters): Tofu Gluten (seitan) Skim milk Non-fat cottage cheese

Absolutely- I do it, and I'm only 6'. BTW- it's good to do for SLDLs too.
