I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in Jun 2008 and started being more serious about weight training then, but only with small dumbbells. After a few months of that, I bought a weight bench with sort of a Smith machine / rack and have been working at it since early Dec 2008. If my bone density needs improvement, progressive gains within a bodybuilding program seems to be a good plan. My docs say it's not a problem. I'm also an atheist, a vegetarian, married, and we have one daughter.
Why I Love It:
I hope it's a positive step toward improving my bone density. I like the rush of the pump.
How I Stay Motivated:
I have only been weight training for a few months, so motivation hasn't been a problem. Prior to this, I was doing taiji and yoga 5d/wk and didn't have a motivation issue, so the weights shouldn't be an issue either.
BB Accomplishments:
None yet. Waiting for something to show for the effort, but for now I'm still a scrawny guy.
Increased muscular strength to improve bone strength.
Goal (Long):
Moment to moment, what do you do? What is your correct direction? Moment to moment, what is your correct life? How do you find your correct way?
Moment to moment, just do it.

You're right. It's just that I never saw the original series in English - just the synchronized version. In German they say things like "Machen sie's so!" or "Bringen Sie uns raus!". Actually it sounds better in English (especially Patrick Stewarts orginal voice)!
Left Puerto Rico in October of 1970 for Nebraska. I was the only suntanned, beach blonde kid in elementary school that winter. I don't think I've warmed up since.
Clouds of War does have more storyline, but it also climaxes with a lifting contest, so it does have more stats as well. I just breeze over them though. Glad you enjoyed the first one!
I know it is not good odds, but at least you did something. I tend to be cold alot, mrinky is hot all the time - but I understand why people hate the humidity - it's just that I love it lol. :) Happy to be home?

My gym has practically every type of machine possible I am actually quite good at squats The problem for me is going to the gym with these muscle bound guys and doing like no weight.
