For many who toil away in gyms to keep their weight down and muscles toned, exercise is more work than fun. But some day, those who identify more with Homer Simpson than Arnold Schwarzenegger may finally be able to lose the sneakers and turn on the tube

Where do I sign up?

[bloodmeridian]

I don't feel guilty. Beer anyone?

Hmmm... I'm as skeptical of this as I am of those electronic belts advertised on TV that supposedly give you rock-solid abs. Yeah right. If Americans just got up off the couch and went jogging for 30 minutes a day we wouldn't be reading stories about "rising Medicare bills."

I think the rules will be taking these at least 3 hours after eating anything.

I don't know if its bad lighting or what, but the body in the picture looks somewhat grotesque!

At first reading this looks very promising not only for the major medical conditions that were listed in the article, but also for the large number of chronic conditions suffered by patients who's condition has a myopathological component.

By finding a way to increase the Mitochondria in the muscle cell that will in turn increase ATP and decrease chronic muscle spasm and pain that are coupled with most chronics.

Unfortunately, the weekend warriors will have to take a number and stand in line. ;^)

I can't wait for the "sports" drink version.

[Joe Brower]

I don't feel guilty either. Pass the potato chips.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

You might be very disappointed. Most likely it will come in a powder.

Given that anabolic steroids are illegal, why would anyone think the government would let people have access to these drugs?

In the future, people will take a pill called "Life" for about a hundred years; then take a pill called "Death." They won't have to do a thing in between: not eat, sleep, drink, work or exercise at all.

Most will also need to take several of the pills called "Happy" every day.

Why spend all that money on weights or going to the gym? The greatest piece of body building equipment ever devised by man can be had at the hardware store for about $40. It's called a post-hole-digger.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Totally different. Steroids are hormones and these are proteins which generate the production of insulin somehow.

[Joe Brower]

Sorry. The smokes and donuts are gone already. You should've gotten here earlier!

I'm betting as soon as it's available, they'll find a way to get it. The DEA is all over GHB, calling it a "rave drug". You never hear anyone mention that weightlifters and body builders were among the first to start using it, long before the "ravers" go ahold of it.

[bloodmeridian]

How better to disolve it my beer.
