With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I drink water constantly, but then again, I live in the desert. I'll hit 2 gallons a day in the summer. I have found it easier to tolerate if the water is room temp vs. ice cold. -------------- Michael Powerlifters - We eat raw meat, and sleep naked in the snow...
