OK here is the deal I have a friend and she cuts her arms and wrist just to take the stress of her day away because her parents abuse her and beat her all the time even for things she has not done, they just do it to revelive their stress. I told her it is wrong what she is doing but she didn't listen. Today I saw her in the bathroom cutting herself. I hate what she is doing and I don't know what to do she has been to a few councilors but she still does it. What can I do to help my friend cause one of these days she may turn to suicide!

Ever gone to the gym and saw a guy with big muscles. I mean, I see a lot of guys working out and such, but today I saw a guy that I wanted to look just like. He had big arms (but not TOO big), big shoulders, and a good chest. I could tell this guy worked a few years for these muscles.

My question is - is what do you do to get bigger arms and bigger muscles in general? Is there some sort of rule to live by, or some secret? Does diet matter?

PS>>There's usually a bunch of hot chicks there too, huh? :_)

I just bought a pair of dumbbells, the ones you hold in each hand seperately(not the big long one which you have to hold by both hands).

Anyways, i was wondering what all exercises can be done with them. Do they help in increasing muscle mass or strenght or both? Can they be used to build the chest and shoulders. Thanks in advance..

There's a young lady on my job whose very friendly and a outgoing person. She loves to talk to others and laugh and have a good time whenever we can. The only probably is her breath is horrible (early in the morning). It smells like she bypass the toothbrush and toothpaste in the morning. One day she was sitting across from me with her mouth closed and the smell was so terrible. Whenever I have peppermint or gum, I offer it to her and she takes it but it doesn't do much good. As I look at her teeth, it appears that she does not brush her teeth everyday because most days they are very yellow and there are a very few days her teeth are clean. I enjoy talking to her but don't want to hurt her feelings. I hate to be rude but I just don't know how to tell her that her breath smells or just don't say anything at all. Any suggestions?
