One random girl from the gym actually consulted my trainer to make sure her program wasn't going to make her look the same way! (good luck with that) It's OK with me if you want to look like Tracy Anderson, but no need to be a dick about it or put down my goals! I'll just focus on taking Tom's advice and make it to the stage - to hell with the naysayers. Who knows, maybe I will have the physique they're looking for when some more body fat is gone and they just don't know it yet. If not, who cares, I'd rather have abs and not crumble under the weight of a door than be a weak waif any day. Thanks for the motivation, Tom!

Pubmed is an excellent resource, but there are times when I find myself wanting a full report, don't feel like spending hours filtering through questionable findings (lab rats, special populations, poor controls), and still 15+ days out from the next Research Review release. Plus, there is only so much I can hope for Lyle McDonald to put out each month! Thanks to Tom for giving out so many great resources!
