I picked up a great idea from the hotel gym on my vacation. The gym kept a small refrigerator with wet hand towels in the workout room. It felt great to pause between sets and wipe down my face and neck with an icy towel. I have started putting a wet washcloth in a plastic lidded box in my fridge a couple of hours before my workout.  Try it, it feels great!

Spent last week in the Florida Keys soaking in the sun.  While I was lounging around the pool, I would estimate I saw between three and four hundred different people in their swimsuits. Out of all of those people, the number who exhibited thick, lean muscle was…one.  There were a few young guys who were lean (its easier to have a six-pack before you are old enough to drink a six-pack).  Curiously, among the over-thirty year olds at the pool, all of the fit and lean people were women.  When you spend an hour a day at the gym and look at the photos on this site, its easy to forget that even modest fitness accomplishments will place you among the physical elite of the general population.
