Muscle Weighs More Than Fat

Muscle weighs more than fat. Many people have large frames, not necessarily big bones. They may have broad rib cages but not always broad hips. Others have small frames, even when tall, and not always with narrow hips. They’re born that way. Bones weigh a lot by the way. Suggested weights published for the medicalContinueContinue reading “Muscle Weighs More Than Fat”

So from now on I’m going to go slow and light. Very light.ContinueContinue reading “Why So Stiff”
