Discipline That Makes Waves
here’s nothing wrong with having the kind of discipline that makes people uncomfortable. In fact, that’s what I’m always striving for… “Why don’t you drink?” “Why are you eating that?” “Why are you always at the gym?” Here’s the thing—anyone doing more than you will never talk down on your effort. It’s always the ones…
Creatine Pros and Cons
A friend of mine started taking creatine a few months ago. At first, she was worried—would she feel bloated? Would the scale go up too much?
