Well, JJ had many gems to highlight and remember, too.

Geez, thanks all. Part 2 is today, I believe!

"And for some reason, I believe that whole "you should be able to talk" while performing cardio is applied to weight training. Many women that go into the gym believing "working out" means more time should be devoted to conversing and "making friends" in the gym rather than actually training. I see it all the time, women talking during their sets and between their sets, never focusing on the task at hand. A lot of them think that if they were to up the intensity, they’d get ugly, bulky muscles."

Do you find it odd that they add 30-40 minutes to their workouts in talk time, but then claim to not have time to workout?

LOL @ Spatts - amazing how that works, isn't it?

Part II is up:

Vixen Roundtable - Part II

Good point, Spatts!

Of course, what happens is these women then go on to comlain how since they didn't see anytype of "results" from weight training, they give up.

Happens all the time.

Part 2 was cool! I'm going to have to print it out.

I get women asking me how I lost the weight (35 lbs), blah blah blah & I tell them. Then they say "well I don't want to get big" and I have to ask if I look big & they say no. Then I tell them how much I lift & they look shocked.

I think a lot of people (women & men) just don't want to put forth the effort involved. America has become very lazy.

Hey, I really enjoyed the articles! Slinky, you're such the hottie! I knew you had the booty, but damn girl! Was that your man sitting down in the "push press" pic? Just curious since he's a new member here...where has he been? Still lurking?!

Anyhow, a few things caught my attention...mainly diet issues. I definitely prefer Soy milk over regular milk. It doesn't taste "chemically" (to me) like reg. milk does...I don't "drink a glass of it", but put it in my cereal, oatmeal and other foods, etcetera. The article led me to believe that soy products were not a good choice and I was curious if you could shed some light on that.

Another item was the discussion on post-workout shakes...I found it to be a bit contradictory. I honestly have really dropped the ball on my post-workout meals/shakes. I usually end up out of the gym pretty late and by that time it's too late to fit 2 meals in, so I stick with a solid meal afterwards. Can someone please clarify for me....pretty please.

Thanks

I'm bulking, so that post workout shake helps me get my kcalories in. If you only have time for one or the other, I personally would choose the whole food meal.

After seeing MS's conditioning, I'd say don't be scared of soy. After all, that's her (and Steel's) primary source of protein. I personally don't intake much soy, but that's because I get whey isolate for free from my sponsor, and I don't drink milk (don't care for it). I haven't tried soy milk yet, but I tend to shy away from drinking my kcalories (unless it's wine); one of these days I'll try it though.
