GREAT HIV / AIDS RESOURCES
- Thread starter 21inch_arms
- Start date
The third edition of "Built to Survive" is finally out and, YES, they finally did a better job on advising HIV+ people about workout routines. Michael and Nelsen, it's about time - Thanks to the two of you for beefing up this section in the new edition. In case you're just catching up to this, in the first two versions of this book, they only gave one workout routine for three times a week and you could finish your sets in about 1/2 an hour. Great for a start, but you MUST change your freeweight routine about every six months to a year, or your body gets too used to it and your gains slow dramaticly. In the third edition, they finally admitted that their workout routine they publish is only A START and you should not stay on it for the rest of your life, or your workouts will become stale and your building of lean body mass (which HIV+ people MUST have because AIDS waisting attacts the muscles and not your body fat) will slow dramaticly. I too am at the point that I must change my workout routine from "Built to Survive's" to something else and i'll probally use the help of Nelson Montayna's e-books for a guide (this is NOT a sales pitch.) I'm thinking of moving up from three to five days a week and increase the number of routines I do in the gym to keep me there for 45 minutes to about an hour.

Just a note that there is a great article in the latest POZ that everyone should read, Gay or ST8, POZ or not called Status Seekers. If there is enought call for it, I will start a thread on the history, controversity, and effectness of "serosorting". Thanks! Alan Chiras.

I am currently reading the new book: "Testosterone: A Man's Guide" by Nelson Vergel. It's very good and has a lot of information that I have not known before I read this publication. Available at amazon.com and on iBooks.
All of you should know that the 4TH edition of "Built To Survive" is now out in print and in e-book form. I will review it asap. (_)> Cheers!

While not a professional resource, I offer anyone newly diagnosed or otherwise an ear and someone to talk to via PM. Still playing catch up on the AAS side of it, but I have been poz for 7 years, and realize the only reason I have made it this far is because of people around me to talk. It is great having info at your finger tips, but sometimes someone's personal experience helps you understand or normalize what you are going through. Many people and personal experiences have helped me along the way figure it is payback. The learning curve is steep, but you have to get through it!
