Why do so many people still use BMI charts/calculations if they are so inaccurate?
I think the only reason they are used is because they are simple and for the average population they can give a reading that is somewhat accurate. As soon as someone outside the average applies it i.e. someone who lifts weights so has a higher than normal muscle mass, the index will become...- skidmark

Flexibility limiting squats
You could try putting some little 1.25kg weights under your heels, or something similar to help with the falling backwards issue. I've tried this before and it does seem to help, but I don't really have to much trouble with the balance. There's a photo around that shows arnie doing really deep...- skidmark

Don't take it to heart. What I was talking about was the extreme end of the spectrum.

Some people swear that you shouldn't use them, but as long as...- skidmark

Anyone else get tempted by roids?
I lift weights to improve my body shape and to stay healthy. However I would never put my health and wellbeing at risk to improve my body. That is the reason I will never do 'roids. I'm not interested in being the next Ronnie Coleman so I don't need them anyway. I think the best physiques are...- skidmark
