I agree with Michael Sullivan.  There has not been enough 
discussion about bodybuilding in rec.sport.misc to deserve the  
creation of a new newsgroup.  Those proposing this idea should 
first read the article on how to create a new newsgroup in the 
news.announce.newusers newsgroup.  By the way, I would gladly 
subscribe to a mail list such as Michael is proposing.

To keep the general discussion going, if there is one :-), I have 
another question for all you iron pumpers.  I always do stretches 
before I work out.  Somewhere I read that if you really want to 
prevent muscle soreness, you should do stretches before AND 
after a workout.  Can you post your stretching routines and tell us 
why you prefer them (or even why you don't bother to stretch at 
all). And can a sports medicine expert out there tell us which is 
best to prevent soreness--stretches before a workout, stretches 
after a workout, or both?
