Why I Love It:
It has been a huge boost to my energy, self-esteem and, of course, physical strength. It is more than just getting exercise, more than a lifestyle, hobby or even obsession. It has become my secular church.

10/2009: After being ridiculed for being a "musclehead" because I followed a 5 day split, I changed to a 3 day split:
Legs & Shoulders
Chest & Back
Bicep & Tricep
I reduced the rest time to 30 sec before sets, which increased my heart rate, but the trainer I met with last week said...
