The fastest way to build muscle and by that I mean build big muscle should -in a similar way to all other fitness goals- follow a combined, focused attitude towards your Training, Diet and Exercise. This focus will ensure you gain maximum muscle from your program. Seeing as that your aim is to build...

Though many bodybuilders, fitness enthusiasts, and other weight lifters train hard day and day out, they often don't pay nearly enough attention to nutrition. What's more is that there is a great deal of disinformation out there about the best way to eat to gain muscle. Here is the best muscle mass ...

OK so you want to work out the pectorals, but you don't know where to start? Well good thing, because your in the right place. First off you need to realize that in order to make large gains you need to use larger weight and smaller reps. This causes the body to grow at a more rapid rate then if you...

Having the right workouts to build muscle is extremely important. If you have the wrong workout routine you can end up accidentally under training. Which will leave you looking awkward and lopsided. The opposite is also true, you could end up over training, which can end in injury and no gains at al...

I got a phone call the other day from a woman I knew 23 years ago for about four months. I knew her back in 1987, a time when I was "studying abroad" in Florence, Italy - and by studying abroad I mean shopping, drinking, and having an intense love affair with an Italian disc jockey named Gianni. T...

What do you say to someone who has no waxy barrier? Well in case you were wondering, it's not, "Have you been painting?" See, when you ask someone who lacks a waxy barrier on her palms if she has been painting, she is likely to get confused by the question - and especially if you are a random ...

This blog has been sorely neglected for at least two years, or at least since I've returned to work full time in the booming metropolis of Hartford, Connecticut. Alas, though it's still ruthless in the suburbs, I am mostly in the city now. It's simply not possible for me to witness all...

She never saw the cord until it was too late, toppling off the ladder in shock as the hedge trimmer's metal teeth gnawed through their own power source. In an instant - zap - she was flung sideways, trimmer in hand, into the basketball backboard, whereupon she rebounded with a thud before falli...

Thank God April is over, because I don't think I could bear yet one more day of quoting T.S. Eliot in my head. APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. T.S. Eliot (1888–1965). The Waste Land. 1922.I do...

Who needs seedling starter trays when all you really need is a kitchen cabinet? Green onions, anyone? I guess starting my garden this year will be easier than I thought. var addthis_pub="ruthdynamite";

A tennis pal of mine who works in TV often passes along "casting call" emails to a group of good-humored, tennis playing women of which I am a part. One day a prominent television network might be "looking for people with annoying traits," and another day another network might be seeking "outgoing,...

Getting a moisturizing, straightening keratin treatment for my hair doesn't take away the fact that born-again child evangelists are after my son. But it helps. Straight, silky-smooth hair also helps numb the sting you feel once you realize that you've killed off your children's sea mo...

While the rest of the country spent this weekend digging victory gardens and licking their 401-Ks, I joined JUST ABOUT EVERY RESIDENT OF CONNECTICUT at the mall. Come rain, sleet, hail, snow, lack of credit, and the very real prospect of imminent financial ruin, we Connecticut folk flock to the mal...

Ceasing to blog for a few weeks is like not showing up to work day after day after day. It's a little death, of sorts. Like slitting your digital throat. Cutting off your own air supply. Unplugging your ties to a big, wide world of imaginary friends. But I had to do it. The world is too mu...
