5 ways to get stronger -- without weight lifting
Consider the pullup: It's the standard even the most hard-core lifters will agree that there's no better muscle builder for the upper body. The reason for its effectiveness: It takes full advantage of the scientific laws of motion and leverage, placing your body in a position that forces your back and arms to lift your entire body weight. You'd be able to build muscle anywhere, anytime, at home, on the road, or even in a public park.
Few men believe it, but you don't need barbells, dumbbells, or machines to build muscle; in fact, weight-training equipment often inhibits the process. That's because it requires you to be in a specific location, which might explain why more men consider themselves runners than lifters. After all, running is the most accessible form of exercise -- anywhere you go, there's your gym. But learn a little bit about physics and the same can hold true for your muscle workout.
Law #1: The longer your body, the weaker you become.
The science: By increasing the distance between the point of force (your target muscles) and the end of the object you're trying to lift (your body), you decrease your mechanical advantage. Think of it this way: An empty barbell is easy to lift off the floor if you grab it in the middle. But try moving a few inches in one direction and it instantly seems heavier -- even though its weight hasn't changed. The same is true of your body: Lengthen it and every exercise you do becomes harder.
Apply it: Raise your hands above your head -- so your arms are straight and in line with your body -- during a lunge, squat, crunch, or situp. If that's too hard, split the distance by placing your hands behind your head.
Law #2: the farther you move, the more muscle you work.
The science: In physics, "mechanical work" is equal to force (or weight) times distance. And since your muscles and bones function together as simple machines -- they form class 1, 2, and 3 levers -- the same formula applies to your body. It's the most basic of principles: Do more work, build more muscle. Of course, in a weight-free workout, you can't increase force (unless you gain weight). But you can boost your work output by moving a greater distance during each repetition.
Apply it: Each of the following three methods increases the distance your body has to travel from start to finish, increasing not only the total amount of work you do, but also the amount of work you do in the most challenging portion of the exercise.
Hard: Move the floor farther away. For lunges, pushups, situps -- your range of motion ends at the floor. The solution: Try placing your front or back foot on a step when doing lunges; position your hands on books or your feet on a chair when doing pushups; and place a rolled-up towel under the arch in your lower back when doing situps.
Harder: Add on a quarter. From the starting position of a pushup, squat, or lunge, lower yourself into the down position. But instead of pushing your body all the way up, raise it only a quarter of the way. Then lower yourself again before pushing your body all the way up. That counts as one repetition.
Hardest: Try mini-repetitions. Instead of pushing your body all the way up from the down position, do five smaller reps in which you raise and lower your body about an inch each time. After the fifth mini-repetition, push yourself up till your arms are straight. That counts as one repetition.

LOVE? What People Can Do For Love?
Sometimes you read something and it makes you stop and think..
and then you want to share it with everyone you care about.
There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him.
Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying.
"JUST TAKE CARE OF MY EYES PLEASE."
This is how humans change when their status changes. Only few remember what life was before, and who has always been there in the most painful situations.

Sex Secrets Revealed - Part 3
The Best and Final Part
Make a bedroom burrito.Bondage is appealing for a good reason: It heightens the anticipation for the one who's receiving the pleasure. But anything with locks, Velcro, or ties can freak her out (us, too), so try this: While you're rolling around in bed, wrap her up in the sheet so she can't do anything with her arms (think burrito or straitjacket) What?!!. Leave her head, shoulders, and lower legs uncovered. Now kiss every inch of exposed skin. It's simple, spontaneous, and soft-core. Hmm...
Blindfold yourself. Many women who are insecure about their bodies stick to the missionary position because you can't see their bodies that way. If you really can't see her because your eyes are covered, she'll do a lot more with you, to you, and for you.
Ask permission. Before you enter her, ask if it's okay. "Some women find it incredibly endearing," says Barnaby Barratt, Ph.D., president of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. "It gives them a sense of respect. It gives them the security to become more sexually relaxed." And when you're first entering her, kiss her lips or caress her face. "Give her stimulation in addition to penetration," De Villers says.
Practice reentry. After you first enter her, do it again--slowly. Repeat it over and over. "One of the huge turn-ons is anticipation," De Villers says. "Don't pull out all the way, but when you pull almost all the way out, she gets the anticipation of the stroke that comes back in."
Do it in public. Or just pretend. Exhibitionism is a secret thrill for many women, but the threat of arrest deters them. So have sex standing up, with her near the bedroom window. It's easy to duck out of the way. If she's semiclothed, your neighbors will be none the wiser.
Blow bubbles. Take a swig of champagne before going down, then use your tongue to swirl the bubbles around her clitoris. Nerve endings react to bubbles. In a very good way.
Use the cottons cycle."The washing machine is the biggest vibrator in the house," says Hodson. Sit on it and have her sit on top of you--the vibrations carry through your penis. Cottons get the longest, fastest spin.
Go into the closet.Novelty is an aphrodisiac. Any unusual setting, with strange sensations, smells, and muffled sounds, will make sex feel new. Confined spaces add urgency. "They're great for a quickie," says sex therapist Louanne Cole Weston. Watch that shoe tree!

Work the angle. Liberator shapes velvet cushions create an "orgasm-optimum" 26-degree pelvic tilt, which means maximum contact between your body and her clitoris, and minimum demands for foreplay. Feel free to adjust the angle slightly--there's evidence that 27 degrees works as well.
Or call a squeeze play.With her facedown and you on top, have her cross her legs, and position yours outside of hers. Her vagina will feel tighter, and the added friction means more pleasure.
Get bigger. When you're on top, place her legs over your shoulders. This shortens her vaginal canal, so your penis feels bigger inside her.
Stand by your woman. For better from-behind sex, have her kneel on the edge of the bed with her upper chest touching the mattress. This elongates the vaginal barrel, making it feel tighter. You get a fantastic view, and she'll enjoy the nipple stimulation from rubbing the mattress.
Make it easy. For oral sex, stand while your partner kneels or sits on the bed. This angle lets her take more of you, gives her better control, and is less tiring.
Let her give you a pearl necklace.But not a real one. Lightly lubricate the pearls and your penis. Have your partner wrap the pearls around the shaft and slowly stroke up and down with a gentle rotation. The beads feel warm and smooth, creating a new level of sensation.
Direct a fan at her. Then pour peppermint schnapps into her belly button, dip your fingers and tongue, and trace her body.
Arghhh!!! Where's my girl?

Sex Secrets Revealed - Part 2
Simmer
Kiss and lick her hinges.You've got the obvious kiss spots covered. Now concentrate your efforts elsewhere--on her elbows, knees, shoulders, ankles, neck, and hip joints. "They're rarely attended to with long caresses," says Davidson. "It's a super sensation." See if you can make her come unhinged.
Bear fruit . . .Chocolate syrup and whipped cream get all the kinky play in movies. Instead, turn her body into a juicer. "The best foods for sex are fruits that you can rub onto the body, such as soft mango or papaya," says Ava Cadell, Ph.D., Ed.D., a sex therapist in California and author of 12 Steps to Everlasting Love. "Then devour both her and the fruit." Get sticky, shower, repeat.
. . . and berries.Forget coffee and toast--bring hot chocolate (a sexual stimulant for her) and raspberries and strawberries to bed. The berries replenish the zinc you lose when you ejaculate--5 milligrams, or a third of your daily requirement.
Try the no-move move.When you start foreplay, tell her you're not going to move on to another action until she tells you what to do next. This works physically and mentally: It's a way to encourage her to open up and direct you to what she really wants. Now, your turn.
Give her a massage.But make it interesting:
In hot weather, roll a chilled can of soda along the backs of her thighs.
Season her belly with a little salt, and then slowly lick it off. Add tequila to taste.
Give her chills."Cold is sensed by more nerve endings than mere touch can reach, so you're expanding her range of response," says Phillip Hodson, a British sex therapist. Do this: Chill a bunch of grapes for at least 20 minutes. Then trail a small sprig of them along her neck, nipples, and inner thighs. Nibble away. Now put a grape in your mouth and gently press it against her clitoris by holding it in your teeth or between your lips.
Come clean.Here's a master class in the notoriously tricky art of bath sex. Start by slinging in a generous quantity of bath gel, advises Anne Hooper, a sex therapist and author of Ultimate Sex Guide. Fill the tub with 5 inches of hot water, then pour more foaming bath gel onto your bellies, chests, and legs. Have her lie on top of you and use her body as a scrub brush. To add to the fun, throw in a floating foam cubes that, when "rolled," reveal sexy commands like "sponge belly" or "kiss back"--or a vibrating bath massager you'll both enjoy.
Rub her down.For extra shower power, pour a couple of drops of shower gel into a spray bottle and mix it with water. Spray her, then rub. She'll feel three different types of stimulation--the steady pelting of the shower, the soft spray of the soapy gel, and the firm caresses of your hands. That's the kind of threesome that turns her on.
Should I call my girl now? Hmmm....

Cook for Your Muscles
Twice the protein, half the hassle. Try grilling some salmon, steak, chicken, tuna, or lamb.
Below are the best meal that you can have for muscles building.
Your weekend is a great power source. if you play it right, you come out of it recharged and ready for anything. Maybe you'll be a little sore, but that shows you made the most of your days off.
Even your weekend grilling can serve you well, come Monday. Just buy twice as much of whatever meat or fish you're grilling, and wrap up the extra after you've cooked it. This is power food that will remind you of the wonderful weekend and give you the muscle-repairing protein you need.
We're not talking "leftovers" here, sputtering back to reheated life in a microwave. Call it "repurposed surplus" brought back in a delicious new setting. Salmon steaks become spicy quesadillas; flank steak morphs into a Thai salad. You're firing up the grill anyway -- make the most of your effort.

We're not talking "leftovers" here, sputtering back to reheated life in a microwave. Call it "repurposed surplus" brought back in a delicious new setting. Salmon steaks become spicy quesadillas; flank steak morphs into a Thai salad. You're firing up the grill anyway -- make the most of your effort.
Flank Steak
Flank steak must be tender. Marinate it in a mixture that contains acidic liquid like citrus juice, vinegar, or wine. Don't overcook it--medium rare, max. Let it stand 5 minutes before you slice it, so the juices have time to settle into the meat. And last, slice it across the grain on a diagonal to further break down the meat's structure. Today: Basic Balsamic Flank SteakWhat you'll need:1 whole flank steak (1 1/2 lb)Marinade made with 2/3 c balsamic vinegar; 1 Tbsp black pepper; 2 cloves garlic, crushed How to make it: Poke the meat with a fork to help the marinade penetrate. Mix the marinade in a large resealable bag, reserving 1/4 cup. Drop the steak into the bag and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side (until medium rare). Brush with the reserved marinade before serving. Slice diagonally across the grain in thin slices. Reserve half the steak, unsliced, for tomorrow. Once it's cool, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Per serving: 360 calories, 48 g protein, 8 g carbohydrates, 14 g fat (6 g saturated), 0 g fiber, 105 mg sodium Eat with: Potato wedges. Quarter 2 potatoes lengthwise, coat with cooking spray, then sprinkle lightly with garlic powder and dried or fresh rosemary. Grill, turning occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Tomorrow: Thai SaladWhat you'll need:6 big handfuls mixed greens1/2 red bell pepper and 1/4 red onion, both sliced in thin strips1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil3/4 lb leftover flank steak, sliced thin on the diagonalDressing made with (per salad) 2 Tbsp soy sauce; 2 tsp sesame oil; 2 small cloves garlic, crushed; pinch of red-pepper flakes1 Tbsp chopped peanuts How to make it: Mix together the greens, bell pepper, onion, and basil. Add the steak. Blend the dressing and drizzle over the salad. Top with peanuts. Makes 2 servingsPer serving: 471 calories, 53 g protein, 13 g carbohydrates, 22 g fat (7 g saturated), 5 g fiber, 676 mg sodium Eat with: Whole-wheat pita chips. Stack 2 pitas and cut into 8 wedges. Spray wedges lightly with cooking spray and bake them at 350?F for about 10 minutes or until crisp.
Tuna Steaks
A restaurant chef barely touches a tuna steak to his grill, then serves it almost raw inside. For these recipes, it's okay to cook the tuna through to medium. Otherwise, the juices might soak right through your tortilla when the tuna reappears as a taco filling tomorrow. Today: Mexcellent TunaWhat you'll need:4 1''-thick tuna steaksMarinade made with 1 c tequila, juice of 1 lime, 1/2 tsp cilantro How to make it: Put the tuna in a resealable bag with the marinade, setting aside 1/4 cup, and refrigerate for 45 minutes. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Brush with the reserved marinade before serving. Refrigerate two steaks in plastic wrap for tomorrow. Per serving: 290 calories, 34 g protein, 1 g carbohydrates, 1.5 g fat (0 g saturated), 0 g fiber, 55 mg sodium Eat with: Mixed green salad Tomorrow: Tuna TacosWhat you'll need (per taco):Half a leftover tuna steak, cubedHandful of bagged coleslaw mix1 Tbsp chopped red onion1 small corn tortilla1 Tbsp sweet pickle relish, drained1 Tbsp plain yogurt or mayonnaise How to make it: Put the tuna into a microwave-safe bowl and zap for 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Arrange the tuna, slaw, and onion on the tortilla. Top with the relish and yogurt or mayo. Per serving (two tacos): 337 calories, 39 g protein, 36 g carbohydrates, 3 g fat (0 g saturated), 4 g fiber, 340 mg sodium Eat with: Low-fat refried beans
Salmon Steak
Omega-3 - rich salmon steaks hold up well on the grill. Plus, since they're usually sliced to a uniform thickness, they cook evenly. Before you light the fire, coat the rack with cooking spray so the fish won't stick to it.
Today: Yosemite SalmonWhat you'll need:1 Tbsp smoked paprika1 tsp black pepper1 tsp salt4 salmon steaks, or a full fillet cut into 3 1/2-ounce steaksAbout 4 tsp honey
How to make it: Mix the spices together in a small bowl. Rub the mixture evenly over the salmon. Grill for 5 minutes per side, drizzling lightly with a squeeze from the honey bear (about 1 tsp per steak) just before they're done. Wrap two steaks and put them in the fridge for tomorrow.
Per serving: 190 calories, 23 grams (g) protein, 7 g carbohydrates, 7 g fat (1 g saturated), less than 1 g fiber, 630 milligrams (mg) sodium
Eat with: Grilled corn on the cob. Brush the ears lightly with olive oil and grill for about 10 minutes, turning frequently. Serve with a lime wedge.
Tomorrow: Salmon QuesadillasWhat you'll need (per quesadilla):2 8" whole-wheat tortillas3/4 c shredded low-fat Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, divided1 leftover salmon steak, flaked1/2 c Mexicorn, drained1/4 c chopped green onion1/2 tsp red-pepper flakes
How to make it: Heat a cooking spray-coated nonstick skillet over medium heat. When it's hot, place the first tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle on half of the cheese. Add remaining ingredients. Top with the remaining cheese and the second tortilla. Cook, pressing down occasionally with a spatula, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the tortilla starts to become crisp. Flip and cook for about 6 minutes more.
Per serving: 430 calories, 40 g protein, 53 g carbohydrates, 11 g fat (3 g saturated), 6 g fiber, 980 mg sodium
Eat with: Salsa
Chicken Breasts
Shorten grilling time by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking. Put each breast between sheets of plastic wrap and, starting at the thickest point, pound the chicken with a tenderizer or the heel of your hand until the thick part is even with the thin part. Go ahead -- get some aggression out. The chicken's already dead.
Today: Beer-B-Q ChickenWhat you'll need:4 boneless, skinless chicken breastsMarinade made with 1/2 can beer, 1/2 c low-sugar BBQ sauce (like Jim Beam), 1 tsp cayenne pepper
How to make it: Put the chicken in a resealable plastic bag with the marinade, setting aside 1/4 cup, and refrigerate overnight. Grill for about 12 to 15 minutes per side. Brush with the reserved marinade before serving. Wrap two chicken breasts and refrigerate.

Lamb
Lamb deserves a closer look. What beef is to America, lamb (and its grown-up counterpart, mutton) is to Greece, Morocco, New Zealand, and many other parts of the world. Think of the tender, flavorful meat as veal without the guilt.
Bonus: Lamb is a leading source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fatty acid that's been linked to successful weight loss. In fact, the only meat with more CLA is kangaroo, according to a recent Australian study.
Today: Baa Baa and KebabsWhat you'll need:1 carton cherry tomatoes1 carton whole button mushrooms1 yellow or red bell pepper, chopped into large pieces1 medium red onion, chopped into large chunks1 Tbsp olive oil1/2 tsp cumin4 lamb chops (about 4 oz each)Sauce made with 1 c plain low-fat yogurt; 1/3 English cucumber (the seedless kind), chopped; 2 tsp fresh or dried mint, chopped
How to make it: Alternate vegetables on four skewers. Brush them with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with cumin. Grill the kebabs and chops for 5 minutes per side (until the chops are medium rare). Use the sauce for dipping. Reserve two lamb chops and refrigerate for tomorrow.
Per serving: 355 calories, 27 g protein, 15 g carbohydrates, 21 g fat (8 g saturated), 2 g fiber, 125 mg sodium
Eat with: Couscous (it cooks really quickly)

Sex Secrets Revealed - Part 1
I would like to revealed to you about sex secrets. So listen carefully. May God bless you.
Most bedroom problems boil down to this:
Men are microwaves and women are slow cookers.
With men, all you have to do is push a few buttons and we're hotter than a habanero. But with women, it's an all-day process. You have to buy the ingredients, mix them together, and then put everything in the pot and let it simmer . . . and simmer . . . and simmer.
With men, all you have to do is push a few buttons and we're hotter than a habanero. But with women, it's an all-day process. You have to buy the ingredients, mix them together, and then put everything in the pot and let it simmer . . . and simmer . . . and simmer.
That's why we're offering a microwave mentality for the Crock-Pot reality:
quick, easy things you can do to make her heating speeds better match yours. Our suggestions take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. The payoff? They'll quickly adjust her thermostat to high heat.
Warm Up
Buy her a silk thong.A gift of lingerie is cliched, right? So twist it. Give it to her when you (seemingly) don't expect sex right then and there. Pass it under the table at a restaurant and ask her to go to the ladies' room and change into it. "It's a little naughty, but she has a chance to play back," says Joy Davidson, Ph.D., a relationship therapist in Seattle. Not recommended for a first date.
Whisper into her ear.In public, at a party, tell her what you want to do to her later: "Tonight, I'm going to make you have as many orgasms as possible." For women, anticipating it can be as exciting as the actual event.
Embrace her until she makes the move to leave.Good kissing tops most women's lists of turn-ons, but don't underestimate the heating power of a great hug, especially when she initiates it. "Let her know how much you savor it," says Lou Paget, author of 365 Days of Sensational Sex. Make it clear you don't want the hug to end.
Skip the flowers.Blooms at the office are overdone. If you want to stand out, send a card instead. "It's really the thoughtful things you do at nonsexual times that make a woman want you," says Paul Joannides, author of Guide to Getting It On! Go with a thank-you. Write out a few things you've never thanked her for--making breakfast on Sunday, cleaning your stubble out of the sink. An appreciated woman during the day is an appreciative woman at night.
Plant a picture.Stash a photo of her in your wallet. She'll deny it, but all women rummage at some point. You might as well turn it to your advantage.
Say why.Anyone can say, "I love you," so explain why. Maybe it's the way she nibbles at a KitKat, or how her nose scrunches when she drinks tequila. The more unique your reasons, the more special she'll feel.
Make yourself sick.Leave love notes around the house--in the fridge, on the bathroom mirror, under her pillow. That much sweetness might make you nauseous, but it'll make her feel like a lovesick teenager.
Get your story straight.For a happy ending (tonight and every night), remember the beginning: the details of your first meeting--where you were, what she was wearing, what you said, and how you felt. Recount them. Often.
Apply her lipstick."Grooming a woman is kind of a role reversal," says Linda De Villers, Ph.D., a California sex therapist and author of Love Skills: A Fun, Upbeat Guide to Sex-cessful Relationships. "She's being doted on and served, and it shows that you think a certain part of her body is attractive." Other ideas: Shave her legs, paint her toenails, or brush or wash her hair.

Girl Gone Wild? How?
Last night I went to Coffee Bean with my fellow friends. We talk and discuss in many topics. But the best topic is that how men can turn their girl from good girl to bad girl in bed. Sound interesting ha... we talk and talk and laugh a lot. So many thought we shared about. Sally said that a men should seduce her more the before, talk dirty with her, say something that can make she maximum horny. So many thought and confession that I got last night. But for you my loyal reader, I summarize it and give you the best way to make your girl bad. Hahahaha... Just do it and see the result. I guarantee its work. Have a nice day...
Give Her the Power
Imagine her doing something wild, then describe it to her. "You have to see her that way before she'll be able to act that way," says Scherven. "She has to feel confident that you think she's capable of it."
Show Her Off
"In public, whisper how much she turns you on and combine that with some neck kissing," says Ian Kerner, author of She Comes First. Get her used to feeling sexy in public and she'll reciprocate in private.
Grant Her Wishes
If she's joked about skinny-dipping, find a lake. If she's mentioned skydiving, book the plane. "Overcoming her fears with her will build trust and make her more likely to go out on a limb the next time," says Yvonne Fulbright, author of the Hot Guide to Safer Sex. You're giving her the security to be daring.
Tease Her All Day
Plant a long kiss on her in the a.m. and tell her you can't wait to ravage her later. "Knowing you find her irresistible is the ultimate turn-on," says Regena Thomashauer, author of Mama Gena's Marriage Manual. Follow up with phone calls and you'll both be counting the hours.
Give Her the Power
Imagine her doing something wild, then describe it to her. "You have to see her that way before she'll be able to act that way," says Scherven. "She has to feel confident that you think she's capable of it."
Show Her Off
"In public, whisper how much she turns you on and combine that with some neck kissing," says Ian Kerner, author of She Comes First. Get her used to feeling sexy in public and she'll reciprocate in private.
Grant Her Wishes
If she's joked about skinny-dipping, find a lake. If she's mentioned skydiving, book the plane. "Overcoming her fears with her will build trust and make her more likely to go out on a limb the next time," says Yvonne Fulbright, author of the Hot Guide to Safer Sex. You're giving her the security to be daring.
