Re: Creatine absorbtion

Re: Lower Fat vs Lower Carb study
IMO I think that is a reasonable generalized guideline for a healthy diet but it should only be a guideline IMO. If you are someone just looking to get a bit healthier and stronger and fitter than...

Re: My Pet Peeve as a Female
I just bought myself a 15kg women's bar and all my bumpers are in lbs so I weighed the bar. If I use collars it comes to just under 35lbs so I'm happy with that. The PRs in lbs don't have to be...

Re: Where's the Girl Power?
1. What is your height, weight, and body fat percentage? I'm 5'4 1/2", 140 pounds. I'd guess my bf at 16-17% but I don't know for sure. I can see my abs but I have a bit softness too.

I think for most people, getting leaner and carrying more muscle will improve looks, assuming of course a fairly athletic standard of what looks good. Not everyone shares that assumption, obviously....

Re: I need article on why women should do SS
I loved SS when I started. It was simple and easy to follow and I saw improvements quickly.
It felt great to feel strong too. A lot of women don't experience that or know what they're capable of.
