I'll probably do that! Although it hurts a little it's worth the time saving. Bojangles

I am not discrediting the article. I am simply stating that training until muscle failure DOES WORK and it is not a "surefire way to cause injury" as you had earlier stated. The 16 yr old who only does bench is not huge for a number of reasons...the main one being that he/she is not fully...

LittlePammy, I think it's great that you are a competitive body buiilder and a woman to boot. One of my best friends who is also a female used to compete as well. Just wondering if you competed in Northern Ontario at all? I loved going to her shows and when the competition was over we'd go out...

Beadwidow, I am not going to get into a pissing contest over this. The question in the beginning was simply how does one increase upper body strength or gain muscle mass? To which I offered my advice based on 15 years of experience as a personal trainer. You can discredit my CanFit Pro...

Beleive it or not...you're not the only one who has thought about this...so have I! Shave fast I suppose or the other way that I see it is I can shave my legs faster than most men can shave thier face. So, if the men have enough time to take care of thier business, I guess we do too. Bojangles

I guess it's still pretty cheap considering it works out to about $11/day. You can't cook your own food for that price and the best part about rations is that you don't have to do your own dishes.  ;D Bojangles

Can you opt out of rations and simply pay as you go if you prefer? Bojangles

Just wondering when you start having rations and board taken off your cheque if you decide to live in barracks. Does it start coming off during your training or when you get posted? Also, I heard that the military will arrange for the rest of your belonging to be sent to your posting, does this...

Good for you! While your wife was probably embarrassed by your outburst back at these most deserving "hags"., I bet somewhere inside she's pround that you had the balls to say something where everyone else just watched in awe. Again, good for you! Bojangles

Beadwindow, I have my CanFit Pro certification, where did you get yours? Training to muscle failure does NOT mean injury. In fact, if you do not train until mucle failure then can I ask what are you trying to accomplish? By not training to faliure, you are not breaking down the muscle fibers...

Nitz, you're right on the mark with protien shakes/supplements. Find one that is of good quality and that you can handle the taste. Most poor quality ones taste chalky. Shortbus, Muscles are a little more complex than one may think. First off, your muscles have memory which is a good...

Doing 10 to 15 reps is fine depending on the results you want to achieve. I would normally advise someone to do 10 to 15 reps if they simply want to define/tone up thier muscles. This also means you are strength training but you won't "bulk up" the way you would if you lowered your reps and...

Chags, Personal Training is an awesome job and has some of the greatest rewards you can get from a career. The sad part of it is that alot of people simply don't invest money into themselves and it's hard to make a living at it. People will somehow always find money to fix their vehicles when...

This would make sense to me because I got my call yesterday and my BMQ starts on April 26th and goes until July 30th. I thought the recruiter may have made a mistake and meant June 30th but it is definitely July. That would make it 14 weeks total training. Bojangles

I got my call yesterday and the recruiter told me that my BMQ training will start on April 26th and will run until July 30th. I did the math after I got off the phone and that makes 14 wks total. Unless he made a mistake and meant June 30th, then I would assume that SQ would follow directly...

Thank You so much for your advice. I appreciate it more than you know. I am not disappointed what so every that Sig Op was my "second" choice, only disappointed with myself for not researching it as well as I could have. I still have a month to get alot of my questions answered though. Now it...

I am a Personal Trainer for GoodLife Fitness Clubs...until April 21st anyway...then I go to my BMQ on the 26th. Anyway...I might be able to help you out with your question as I have trained many people both wanting to gain and lose weight. Some quick tips are to make sure you are not only eating...

I honestly have so many questions it's really hard to know where to start. I guess the most typically asked questions is what does a typical day consist of? Do you do alot of feild work or is mostly inside? Are you expected to have some basic knowledge of communicaitons systems, and if so, what...

Hey everyone. I just got "the call" yesterday to start my career as a Sig Op. I am very excited but have to admit that it was my second choice so all this time waiting I was actually elbow deep researching info on my first choice. So...needless to say. I have a TON of questions still regarding...

When I got my call today, the recruiter mentioned a number that went along with my job offer. My MOC is Sig Op and the number he gave me was 200. I know that this is not the number that is associated with Sig Op's. Any idea what the number represents? Is this the specific unit I am assigned to...
