For example instead of just finishing biceps with a set of 8 reps with your normal weight, is it more beneficial to curl that weight until muscle failure,drop 5 pounds and immediately curl until muscle failure again, and continue dropping weight until its at 0 and your arms are ready to fall off? Ive heard its a great way to get the most from that muscle group, but ive also heard that its overworking the muscles. Any fitness guru's got some advice on this?

Yeah, I only have one testicle. Laugh it up if you have to = P. When I was 15, I got some kind of infection that made my genitals swell up. I had to spend a few days in the hospital because of that. After the swelling went down and the infection was treated, one of my testicles (the right one) was left a hard mass; therefore, it had to be surgically removed.

Now to my question. I was just wondering, if I were to go to the doctor to get a vasectomy (which I probably sometimes within the next several years), would it be reasonable to ask him to charge me half price for the procedure---seeing as how he would only have one testicle to work with?

In my PE class today we found our resting heart rate. My teacher said that the healthy number would be between 50 and 80, but my number was 101! I'm 13 years old, 5'5ish and about 100-105 lbs. What does the high number mean? Am I really unhealthy?

I have recurring thoughts of suicide. I must highlight that i am absolutely not depressed, I've started university, and I've made new friends and I get along with my family really well. I'm happy with my life. But sometimes when I see a cliff or the edge of a high building I think about jumping off it. And also think about cutting myself. I don't think I'd ever actually do it. But why do I think about it? Is there something wrong with me.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jem O

TomorrowI have an appt. at the gynocologists. I am 15 and have been getting my period since I was 12. Within the past year my peirods have become very heavy and the cramps hurt really bad the first 3-4 days. It lasts 6 days and comes every 28-32 days. I skipped it in december and this month (march). What will the gynocologist do? Will it hurt? Will she put me on birth control? I am not sexually active but I heard that birth control can make your periods shorter, lighter, regular, and hurt less. Please help. Thanks

Contact me at minpingurl1@gmail.com if you want to tell me directly.




I would feel weird though telling my mom that she said I should go on birth control.

Im sure that my parents wouldnt mind. But I just feel weird telling them. I would go in by myself. Will the doctor tell my mom that she is writing me a prescription for birth control.

Alright, to start off with, I'm a high school student, I'm currently dating a very emotional kind of guy, whom I have had sex with (lost my virginity to), I'm dealing with tons of hormone problems (such as hyperthyroidism last year and still on meds for it) plus the hormones from having sex, PLUS the hormones from my period (which I'm currently on) and my boyfriend and I have been practically at each other's throats for the past couple of days (since I started my period) and he claims I have changed and I have become this horrible monster ***** to him and only to him. (Which I'll admit, he's pretty immature and I do go off on him sometimes) And today him and I broke up (it was actually me who broke up with him) only to about an hour later be begging for him to take me back. (Which he did) Is there any way on Earth I can possibly cope with all this hormonal stress? I love him dearly and I cannot let myself be like this towards him, but amost everything he says to me sets me off! Help!

My right ring finger has a bumb on it, on the inside. It also is bending more than normal. I've compared it to my other finger and my left hand doesn't bend like that one and doesn't have a bumb there. The bumb is more pointy than round. You can only slightly tell that it's there if your not touching it, but the area around it is red... It just popped up, but i'm not sure exactly when. My finger is also a little sore, this only just happened and it only just started hurting(it's only like a small pang)

Is this anything to be alarmed about??

Is ther esomething wrong with me because I can't burp? I VERY VERY rarely burp. I just drank some pepsi. After that, I laid down for a few minutes trying to grt the gas to move around my system. I then tried to burp real hard, but nothing happened. I think there was something in my throat. Was that the burp? If it was I was trying to force it out so hard, my face got red. I must be doing something wrong because I don't think it should be that hard to burp. Shouldn't it just basically come out automatically? Do I have to fore it out? If so, how would I go about doing that because when my face turned solid red from trying so hard, I think I was doing something wrong. What do I do? Please please please please please help me out.

So I have noticed it on a bunch of people so I know my friend isnt the only one. Is there a way to cure this? I asked him if hes ever tried different deoderants, he says he's tried them all. Then I just figured he was nurvous, he also said no to that. Just like i said, i have seen a ton of people with this problem is there a normal way to cure it? Or does he really have to go to the doctor and get prescription deoderant?

I'm 15 and I masturbate every day. I really hate masturbating. I want to stop getting cheap thrills by touching my genitals. It goes against my personal values. But it's really, REALLY, hard to stop. The longest time I went without masturbating was 1 month. I also don't want any perverted thoughts at all. In school, a lot of the girls wear VERY mini-skirts. I keep staring. I feel ashamed.

Please do not tell me it's normal or that it benefits one's health. I want to stop permanently.

If you smoked for 45 or more years and you quit smoking, do you need an oxygen tank to stablize your breathing? Can anyone tell me what happens to your lungs/body if this is the case? If not, would this be the onset of emphysema? The person this is happening to, I would rather not ask.

I have been extremely tired lately and sluggish all day. When I go to exercise I can only bare to do 45 minutes when I'm used to doing anywhere from 60-90. I also get very dizzy when I go to stand up and have not been able to concentrate on my studies what-so-ever. Could this be a sign of an iron deficiency? What else could it be?

Hi I'm 17 and need some serious help. I'm a little scared of the dentist not anything to serious. I have to get a cleaning and before that my densit told me that I had to have my wisdom teth pulled. I'm only going for my cleaning, but now I'm so scared for some odd reason. Please give me some advice and tips especially if your a dentist or work in the dental field. Also can you give me some ways to stay relaxed while recieving any injections I may need, the last thing I want is to have even more pain by not acting the way I should.
