Does Sylverster Stallone Make the Come Back with Steroid?
2008-01-24 17:16:00
An original post from: MunFitnessBlog.Com Sylvester Stallone , who has played Rambo and Rocky, was an icon of Hollywood heroism. He was my idol when I first watched those movies and I even had the First Blood poster sticking on the wall in my room. This year, 2008, Stallone is going to be 62 years old and his fourth Rambo movie was just released in January 2008. In February 2007, Stallone was stopped by Australian Customs officials for having human growth hormone Jintropin in his luggage. He was then convicted of taking restricted muscle-building hormones into that country and ordered to pay for the fine. In an interview, he admitted that Jintropin gave his body a boost to feel and look good and he needed that for the shooting of Rambo IV in Burma. He also said that he takes that hormone regularly because of damaged tendons and thin bones. It looks as if he is using it as an anti-aging therapy. To make things worse, Stallone’s ex-lover, Janice Dickinson has told the med...

An original post from: MunFitnessBlog.Com The main muscle being worked out is chest, especially the mid and the lower section. Triceps and shoulders are involved too. For beginner, do this exercise with barbell or Smith machine. The reason I am recommending barbell or Smith machine instead of dumbbell because you definitely need a spotter if you are using dumbbell. Steps: Set a decline bench at about 30 to 45 degrees and position it under the Smith machine. Keep your buttocks, back, shoulders, and head positioned on the incline bench. (more…) ShareThis

4 Reasons You Should Consider Drinking Soy Milk Instead of Cow Milk

An original post from: MunFitnessBlog.Com Cow likes soy milk. Don’t believe me? Watch this. This advertisement is quite cool with cows wearing clothes, speaking English and having breakfast. But, what makes it really interesting is that even cow is drinking soy milk, instead of their own milk! I am no sure whether these cows are using Gateway as their desktops. . Take the joke aside, cows drink water and soy milk does not come from cow, but it is processed from the bean itself. My younger brother drink soy milk because he has lactorse intolerance. Soy milk is often drink by my other vegetarian friends too. However, nowadays, rather than drinking soy milk because one has to, more people are choosing soy milk because of the following health benefits: (more…) ShareThis

Why Santa Claus Should Lose Weight?
2007-12-18 17:01:00
Lately, Santa Claus has come under fire and pressure to thin down. Some people have complained that Santa Claus overweight image has set a bad role model for the kids. So, they are having campaigns to get people to accept “thin” Santa Claus. While these people are serious about the plan, I have thought of three possible reasons Santa Claus should consider slimming down: If Santa Claus is getting fatter, more rein deers may be needed to pull sleigh. Even if he drives big bike, more fuel will be needed and fuel price has been increasing since year 2005. Santa Claus may not be able to pass through the chimney. Also, Santa Claus may take longer breathe to say, “Ho…Ho……..Ho&h ellip;…………Ho& rdquo;   An interesting survey was conducted in Spain lately. A poll of 4,000 spanish children between the age of 4 and 12 have these thoughts: Source 53 percent of them believe that Santa Claus was too fat 59 percent want Sa...
