Re: Bulking up healthy but innexpensively



I miss the days of having to try and gain weight! :D I lifted/competed pretty steadily for over 18 years before a neck injury in the squat rack.


Doing squats with a bar is such a horrible injury prone exercise. I just chose to stop doing them as it seems so hard to get a safe and perfect form ...

Always use a stop/loss and or a trailing stop loss to protect your assets. When you feel you have made your decision to purchase something based on your research stick to your thesis right or wrong. Once you let emotion get in your mind, your back to guessing what already is a Vegas game. Start ...

Re: Do you listen to motivational talks?

All through the late 80's and early 90's I listened to Zig Ziglar, Earl Nightingale and others. Early by far was my favorite though. Felt it was like my Grandpa telling me the way of the land and yes I feel it helped me alot at least think more about things. I also enjoyed reading books about ...

Re: Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund VMMXX
