The use of stimulants like Adderall is not a long term solution to losing weight and getting in shape. Stop taking stimulants for a month or two and then see what happens to your weight. You'll blow back up in no time just from the rebound effect, even if your diet is in check. If you require...

I agree with that. And given the myriad of doctors that are now offering hormone replacement therapy these days (look for ads in any men's magazine), getting one's hormones optimized shouldn't really be that big of a problem if that's a primary concern.

How to Become a Better Version of Yourself in 7 Days I challenge you to take a few minutes to envision of better version of yourself..... Think about what you would actually look like, think like, and most importantly, act like if you could improve yourself in those areas you feel...

I think the real key is making small changes to your daily routine on a weekly basis that ultimately add up to being significant over time. Too many people try to change everything at once in the very beginning and it all just seems so overwhelming very quickly, so they eventually just quit. I...

I started off with a whole body workout 3 times per week, with one set to failure per body part per workout. That was a pretty efficient workout for a beginner but I eventually hit a plateau with that. Then I went completely to the other side and started doing a high volume split workout...

I'm not sure I understand your question.

As an example, my upper body workout go something like this. Chest - 3 sets of dumbbell presses on flat bench Back - 3 sets of lat pulldowns (for back width) and 3 sets of rows (for back thickness) Triceps - 3 sets of dips Biceps - 3 sets of dumbbell curls Shoulders - 3 sets of lateral...

6 sets to failure per week per body part. I wouldn't say I really focus on either. I incorporate both when possible. But you're right, your exercise choices are pretty limited on body parts like calves and forearms.

I am 5' 10" and I weigh about 188 in that photo. My ultimate goal is to get to a lean 200 lbs. Actually, most people that see me in person think I'm already over 200 but the scale says something different. My workout splits are different that what you may have seen before. Monday - Upper...

Thanks. I have to balance out the nerdiness with some physical activity. Otherwise, I go freakin' insane.

So I just turned 40 and I recently bulked up and then dieted back down to see what I was left with. I ended up with about 7 or 8 pounds more muscle this time over a period of about 6 months. I still feel like I could have done a little better, but I will try again for sure. :)

Even if someone put a gun to my head, I couldn't still construct a single sentence like Jack Hershey writes.

"The Oracle" is one of my one of all-time favorite bordeaux blends...

I thought mine was decent until I saw some of the other results posted :mad: http://www.speedtest.net/result/1975262857.png

My family heritage is Scottish, but oddly enough, I have been unable to develop a palette for Scotch. I've tried probably 5 or 6 times in the past but it just never did anything for me. Maybe I just haven't found the right one.

Ok, well since I can't find those locally, the next time you get your hands on some, feel free to mail me a few bottles. :D

I bought some Woodford Reserve today. It's very nice and smooth but to me the Eagle Rare has more character and depth to it. I'm smoking some beef brisket and a couple boston butts tomorrow, and I'll be using some of that Woodford for an apple-bourbon bbq sauce I'm whipping up. :)

The Chimay beer I mentioned liking above is a Trappist brew :D

I'm always in the pursuit of finding a new drink to enjoy. Post what your all-time favorite wine, champagne, beer, or mixed drink is. It could very well be something expensive, but it certainly doesn't have to be. I drink quite a bit of red wine and I love full-bodied Napa Cabs and...
