Pah, idle threat! You are
loving the loving that the girlies have going on for you and the program right now. OK, so only CQ and I like to openly get slushy about it ... but I know NG and Jodi feel the same way, deep down.
And more seriously, NG, I think you're probably right - it's better not to argue when reading the nonsense that Johnny (and more, he's hardly alone in thinking girls shouldn't lift heavy) writes. I regret biting the way I did earlier, that was a purely reflexive action on my part. Read, type - no think. And with him in particular, all it does is give him a reason to respond and expound his crap still further. Yet ... even knowing that .... so hard to not to argue when misinformation is stated as fact.
So much ignorance, so much prejudice. I'm surrounded by it down here, which I guess is why I'm so over-excited about the program, the learning, you guys and all the support (I know, I know

). I've read much of your old stuff at Avant/here Steve, and know how much help you've been to a number of girls, preparing Jodi and Les for comps, etc etc. A body is a body, and, accepting that m/f differences exist and will affect how the body responds to training is NOT the same as assuming girls can't, shouldn't or don't want to lift in the same way a guy does. Seems to me you've just always 'got' that, and espoused it.
Blurrghh! Sorry NG, not sure where that all came from. Just felt the need to vent ...
Train hard my friend, and good luck with the diet change. I knows you can do whatever you want and decide to do. It's your head that will decide, and that's strong too
