Shoulder exercises
After watching the video "Deltoid slam: 5 shoulder exercises for bigger and badder delts" I decided to add more exercises to the shoulders section on Rejuvepedia. Rejuvepdia is about building up muscle just as much as it is about reversing the aging process. We aim to do both!

Here is the link to the first video: http://www.5min.com/Video/5-Shoulder-Exercises-for-Bigger-and-Badder-Delts-79726267

I have taken down the names of all the exercises and have found individual youtube videos for each one. I'm going to practice each exercise until I can do the entire deltoid slam myself. I will make and upload individual videos of my attempts at each exercise and finally one complete video of myself doing the entire deltoid slam!

This is what we have so far:

Dumbbell front raises:

Dumbbell side raises:

Dumbbell bent over lateral raise:

That video was actually made the next day. You can see how recording yourself training is a good way to watch your technique to ensure you are doing it correctly. Possibly the next best thing to a personal trainer. Of course this may be a bit of a game changer when we can all personal train each other using the power of the web and online wiki's such as Rejuvepedia.

Dumbbell shoulder press:

Rejuvepedia re-design
I am thinking of ways to improve the design of Rejuvepedia possibly using the golden ratio in the process. Here is a webpage that will give me some ideas:

"The Golden Ratio in Web Design" http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/other/the-golden-ratio-in-web-design/

The other thing I am thinking about doing is putting in a button that will show or hide the recent blog posts. The recent blog posts weren't always on the mainpage but I showed them to give the site a greater feeling of story telling and active community.

Amino acids and longevity
Researchers in Italy may have struck upon a health supplement that could extend life. Enzo Nisoli and colleagues developed a cocktail of amino acids and gave it to mice via their water supply.
