What's an Ohio press? And why are curls and shrugs pointless? I like curls. They make my biceps feel stronger.

Also, what does it mean that you chose "vitality over vanity?" Aren't the lithe little guys the most vital of all? Why do you feel as though you need all that muscle mass? What is it protecting you against?

I like Murph's idea of using real-world activities to exercise your real-world muscles. My avocation is golf, and that's the present line of thinking there. All the work is in the core muscles, with fairly realistic exercises. No bench presses or anything of the sort there. Lot of medicine balls and lunges and such.
