ditto. I think it is a shame so many people are put on beta blockers and not told how much power they have over their BP.

way to go...

well, I was just making the point that men on steroids shrink their parts. It is medically a known fact. I wonder why? Oh...maybe the testes go dormant? I don't know... Body builders can't get it up, I hear. So...everytime I see a picture like that, that's what I, and almost every woman out there with a clue, is thinking,
"yea, yea....BUT"

So..yes, it's disturbing.

better to be a lean, mean, machine.

Wouldn't Viagra overcome the steroids. If you could then take a photo...the mind boggles:no
 
Why was'nt I am a stroke included in the choices???

Actually, I am taking Nitric Oxide from Costco. "cardiac recovery" L-Arginine etc. Nitric Oxide is the ingrediant in Viagra...I think. so..I will report back.

Vasodilation is supposedly the desired effect.

Talk about analyzing the romance out....low quality pillow talk here! Between "buff boy" and the medical terms, I am officially "out of the mood". Thanks a lot.

Hijack alert: Was in New Orleans on biz last week...no diving...still a HUGE mess out there. But they love their Saints...even in defeat.
 
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas. Viagra works by causing the endothelial cells lining the arteries "down there" to produce more NO and that causes vasodilitation. And then, its showtime!

Not sure that Viagra will help with depleted testosterone levels, may or maynot.
 
By the way, if you are not fit enough to use Viagra, you are probably not fit enough to dive.
 
Meanwhile back at the ranch......

Being semi-retired my fitness regime is:

Walk every morning for 45 minutes.
Bike ride every second day for 1 hour.
Swim every other for 45 minutes in snorkeling gear.
Do as much "in door calisthenics" as possible (subject to permission/allowance).
 
Thalassamania:
I'm in middling shape, need to get better and drop 30 to 40 lbs. I do 40 minutes of laps in the YMCA pool with mask, fins and snorkel three to five times a week.

whoa, you are depressing me. I lost 5 lbs during my weekend OW class and figured it was due to the laps in the pool. I thought if I could swim laps regularly I would be able to eat cake and ice cream 7 times a day and still stay fit.
Are you saying you swim for 40 minutes 3-5 times a week and still need to lose 30 to 40 lbs? Please tell me you started out having to lose 300 and only have 30 to go. That 40 minutes burns an incredible amount of calories, how could be possible you are not losing weight in huge amounts?

You know it, now dont get me started. Saints in '07, all the way, baby!

Does anyone else find this picture disturbing?:11:

Yes, I do.... apparently, others agree. :11:

Maybe there should be a pole asking if this is a good diving physique.
