I do them seated at a smith machine, or seated with dumbbells and back support. When using the smith, I always do them behind the head. I have rotater cuff issues, so I never bring the bar all the way down--down to about the middle of the back of my head is as far as I'll go. Some people don't...

Mike, All very interesting. Thanks. John

Yeah, I figured out the micro reference...I'm a dum-dum. I love salads, so I can get plenty of raw veggies by adding them to a salad...and olive oil, too. I don't know why I didn't think of this, because back in the early 90s I went on a raw food kick where probably 70% of what I ate was raw...

You need more fiber...You can get pure bulk fiber in the form of psyllium husks or psyllium husk powder at the health food store or Vitaminshoppe.com. Mix it with juice or water and drink it 3 times a day and things should go....more smoothly. J.

I always made little cocktails out of my ACV...a couple tablespoons in some water with a little honey, twice a day.

Raw veggies...I can do that. What is special about flax seed oil? And what is micro? Thanks for the tips...I'm starting them today.

Is there any benefit to doing low-intensit cardio for a longer period of time than doing high intensity cardio for a shorter? I've been doing cardio 3 days a week, about 20 minutes of fairly intense interval training. I started doing it first thing in the morning (which I loathe--I hate doing...

I used to fast for 24-36 hours once a week.  I got into it after reading a book called "The Miracle of Fasting," by Paul Bragg, a real old-school health nut (see "The Road to Wellville" for an example of this)...it's kind of kooky in its zealotry, but entertaining for that...

Years ago I avoided the b.o. row because of lower back pain. Then I began doing stiff-legged deads, as part of my leg routine...strengthening my lower back made a world of difference, and it no longer hurts to do the rows. Also, I don't bend ALL the way over so that my torso is parallel to the...
