		<title>Braces: The Ultimate Diet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently turned 30, and for the first time have braces. While most of my friends dealt with this back in grade school, I&#8217;m dealing with it now as an adult. My teeth were never that crooked, and growing up we didn&#8217;t have a lot of money so there wasn&#8217;t a justification for it. Now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Joined LA Fitness&#8230; in Texas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently was transferred from sunny Southern California to very sunny Dallas Texas for work. I really fell off the wagon there for a few months, what with moving and starting a new job in a new city and new pretty much everything. I still had my 24 Hour Fitness membership when I got here, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Switching Back to a Chest/Tri &#038; Back/Bi Rotation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most gym rats have a chest/tricep, back/bicep and shoulder/leg schedule, or something similar. For the past year, I&#8217;ve switched to a back/tricep and chest/bicep rotation to change it up. Changing up your rotations and workout schedule keeps your muscles from getting used to a routine that can quickly lead to a plateau. The back/tri &#38; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tracking Your Workout with Gym Buddy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the best ways to track your weight lifting progress session-to-session is to keep a journal of your weights and reps and the order of your workout. This allows you to see progress over time, and lets you know what weight you should be attempting at your next session, so that you&#8217;re always pushing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Checked Out the Spectrum, but Settled for 24 Hour Fitness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In need of a new gym, I checked out the Spectrum Fitness Club in Manhattan Beach. Having gone to Bally&#8217;s or 24 Hour Fitness for as long as I&#8217;ve worked out, it really was a night-and-day experience. The club was huge with a spa-like atomosphere and a very friendly, helpful and knowledgable staff. Everyone there [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Need of a New Gym, Decisions, Decisions&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So my previous gym membership expired somewhat unexpectedly and I&#8217;m now in search for where to get my pump on. I&#8217;ve previously been a member of 24 Hour Fitness and Bally&#8217;s, and it&#8217;s likely that i&#8217;ll go again with one of them since they&#8217;re inexpensive and have facilities just about everywhere. it seems that both [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Year, But A Week Start With the Gym</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In year&#8217;s passed, I&#8217;ve been particularly motivated to hit the gym hard and often, but this year has started off kinda slow. I&#8217;m still making the gym at least twice a week, but I&#8217;ve had this problem with my left shoulder that has hampered chest and shoulder workouts and my buddy Eric strained his back, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Year&#8217;s Almost Up &#8212; The Gym is Empty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The gym seemed to stay busy much longer than years passed. But now that there&#8217;s only a few days left in the year, the gym is a ghost town. I hit the gym at about 11:45a today (Sunday) and there were only about 10 people in the entire place, which was nice because I didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bigger, Faster, Stronger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m usually not a fan of documentaries, but I saw a great film over the weekend about steroid use in America. Bigger, Faster, Stronger is a documentary that follows a family of boys and their use of steroids and its effects on their families and themselves.  The film is balanced and is very entertaining and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trying to Get Back to Where I Was</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s just me and my smaller body frame, but when I&#8217;m out sick (and not eating right/taking protein supplements) for more than a week, I lose mass and strength so fast. Like I mentioned, I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted a few weeks ago and was not only [...]]]></description>
