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.
Oh dear, I babbled on again. Oh, well. Thanks! Alan Chiras.
