Lori in Florida - August 2005

I just retruned from my working trip to Florida…again. Blue skies, hot and humid, no hurricanes in sight so far. Do not forget to watch my documentary, “Hurricane Frances” in Studio309. While I was in Florida, I joined a new gym, and trained in at least 5 different locations. These photos were taken by my friend Paul Schon. Hope you enjoy these amateur pics.

The Joy of Natural Bodybuilding

Why I chose NOT to take steroids or performance enhancing drugs and why you should stay natural too.

By Tom Venuto, lifetime natural bodybuilder

Many people choose not to take drugs for fear of health consequences. Although this may be a legitimate concern depending on the degree and duration of drug use, this is not the reason I chose to stay natural. In fact, I believe that the dangers of steroids and other performance enhancing drugs are probably exaggerated greatly and sensationalized by the media. In my opinion, scare tactics like, “You’re going to get a brain tumor and liver cancer” aren’t really accurate or effective. If this were an effective approach, then drug use wouldn’t be so widespread today.

Lori Braun’s Training Tips

1. To avoid injury, you should always do a light warm-up set of 15 reps before each exercise.
