Delt Dilemma: spur new growth with ample rest and this hard-hitting routine.(WORKOUT RX)(Brief article).

One thing to keep in mind: Every time you do anything with your shoulders, your rotator cuffs and tendons are involved. On bench-press day you work not only your anterior delts but also your rotator cuffs; when you do pulling moves to hit your back, you work your rear delts along with--you guessed it--your rotator cuffs. And if you were to do a separate shoulder day that week, they'd get beaten up again. Over time, your efforts will become counterproductive as the shoulder capsules become chronically tired and overtrained. The last thing your delts will do in this state is grow.

The solution is to train shoulders only once a week, adding your delt routine to either your push or pull workout. Even though that workout will now be much longer, you'll have more recovery time between sessions and you should begin to see progress.

The routine below is designed to build mass and give your shoulders a good pump. If you're short on time or feeling overtrained, reduce the number of sets for each exercise by one. If you feel you can handle more volume, on the other hand, add an extra set to each move. After four weeks of using this workout, take a full week off from training shoulders (if not two weeks) before repeating it. Remember, avoiding overtraining is the key to bigger delts.

Healthcare India to treat its international patients

This perhaps can be the top rated fact in the dictionary of weight-watchers. Adnan Sami losing 107 kg was a shocker of news for men and women alike.

Supposedly Sami stared westwards for the phenomenal surgery. But ever-increasing number of fat westerners and others round the globe are looking forward to India for the "common" procedure in national capital hospitals.

Nancy Leviatt was an anxious woman till she flew to India, to trim down when she was weighing 120 kg. She was a 40 year old morbidly overweight Pennsylvania dweller who went under a knife for a bariatric surgery at a Delhi hospital. She’s now slightly less than her yester year’s weight.

She works as a plumber and has ditched a brain stroke few years back. Medical practitioners point fingers at her weight for rise and fall of her blood pressure levels and have repeatedly cautioned her against high cholesterol.

Leviatt, mother of two teen-age boys Christopher and Jachary, confesses that she wants to stay fit and fine to watch her grand children play.

Now the question arises - What lured her to India? The answer is price-less, quite literally. The expenditures incurred for the surgery, which is also known as gastric bypass, is cut by 75% of what it is in the US. It is approximately priced at Rs 3 lakh in India; 3 times less than what it is originally priced in US.

The ABC of morbid obesity
Morbid obesity, classically defined, is a disease, which is chronic and lasting. It involves unnecessary storage of fat inside one’s body. An individual may appear fat; however the possibilities can be that he or she is not clinically obese. Ideally, an overweight person has a BMI of 25-30.

Patients who suffer from clinical obesity, even slight amount of weight loss is difficult to accomplish.

Overweight tags along with itself blood pressure, diabetes (type 2), heart disease, stroke, gallstone disease and cancer of breast, prostate and colon. Doctors would agree to the fact that there are around 30 odd medical conditions which are unswervingly related to obesity.

Thumbs up for surgery
Patients who suffer from morbid obesity can opt for it. Weight loss, altered body's food digestion and absorption levels, are some of its highlights. This particular surgery alters the gastrointestinal tract to trim down nutrient intake and absorption.

Diabetics in a win-win situation
According to JAMA, researchers have found that 73 percent of patients, who underwent a stomach reducing surgical procedure, were cured of Type 2 diabetes when compared to only 13 percent of diabetics that followed other forms of conventional therapy - dieting, weight loss and medication - went into remission.

Cutler House in Montauk, NY

I love Montauk for several reasons - it's within driving distance from my home, it's on the ocean, and it's tranquil and peaceful. The Cutler House in Montauk, New York, designed by Murdock Young Architects, is exactly how I would envision the perfect Montauk ocean home. I would usually prefer a less modern style home, but there's just something about this house that got me. It has an open floor plan, incorporates natural materials, has huge windows that capture the amazing views and is built into the surrounding landscape. Isn't it a dream?! (all images via freshome)
