The New Rules of Lifting for Women: Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess 
(Hardcover), Published December, 2007, by Lou Schuler (Author), Cassandra Forsythe (Author), Alwyn Cosgrove (Collaborator)
From one Amazon review: “It’s a mix of straight sets and superset total-body workouts with emphasis on functional fitness and periodization, so it’s built around 6 basic multi-muscles moves (such as squats and deadlifts). There’s also a progession with a mix of variations to prevent workout boredom. It’s a little hard to figure out the charts at first glance, but what they’ve done is spell out every workout for you.”

Does it get any more perfect?
(Another Tom Venuto article)
If you’re a serious competitive athlete or bodybuilder, I think you have to have a little bit of “compulsiveness” or “perfectionism” in how you approach your training. That’s just a part of the nature and personality of successful competitive athletes. No one gets to the Olympics by living a normal, balanced lifestyle do they? You don’t become a bodybuilding or fitness champion by being “normal” either. Athletes, especially bodybuilders, are a unique breed and many of them lead lives that aren’t totally balanced. Training dominates their lives at times. Frankly, if you’re going to set your sights for high levels of athletic achievement, then you’re going to have to be willing to pay the price and make some sacrifices.

Yes I HAVE been looking for a reason to use a Pam Anderson pic!
(answer by: Tom Venuto)
Question: I swim 4-5 times per week, which is great cardiovascular exercise, but is it important to do weight bearing exercise, i.e. running/jogging or power walking? Is the fitness required for swimming different from that required for running? Whenever I try and run a couple of kilometers it nearly kills me, yet I can swim laps for an hour!
Answer: The type of cardiovascular exercise you choose should be something you enjoy; that way you will be motivated to stick with it. So if you enjoy swimming, by all means, continue to do it. In terms of pure aerobic conditioning for your heart and your health, swimming is right up there with the best of them. Like cross country skiing, swimming is one of the few forms of aerobic exercise that engages your entire body; arms, legs, torso, everything!

“You are what you eat!” This adage may seem dated and cliched, but it is absolutely and literally true! Dr. Deepak Chopra, is one of the world’s most renowned authorities on health and the mind-body connection. In his bestseller, “Quantum Healing,” Dr. Chopra writes that quantum physicists have proven through radioactive isotope studies that 98% of the atoms in your body are replaced within one year. In three months your body produces an entirely new skeleton. Every six weeks, all the cells have been replaced in your liver. You have a new stomach lining every five days.
