Build Your Biceps

By Jorge Cruise / February 29, 2012

The biceps are those sexy muscles that twist along the front of your upper arm. The Standing Curl is a great exercise that will sculpt and strengthen your proverbial guns. Let's begin!

Step 1: Hold a pair of dumbbells and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Extend your arms by your sides, with palms facing forward and knees slightly bent.

Step 2: Feather your breathing as you curl the dumbbells up through a count of 10 seconds to just past a 90-degree angle. Hold and squeeze for 2 seconds.

Step 3: Keep your elbows tight against your body as you lower the weights to the starting point through a count of 10 seconds.

Step 4: Repeat three times without resting.
Take Action:
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass a LGBT friendly ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating money to anti-gay groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?
  • Boycott Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
    Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"

And Now, Our War of the Fittest!

Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey will headline an event at Harvard University today to launch the singer's Born this Way Foundation, as businesses, politicians and a statewide gay rights group endorsed the foundation's anti-bullying message.

Lady Gaga will appear today at Harvard University's Sanders Theatre with Winfrey and spiritual leader Deepak Chopra, among others. The Born This Way Foundation is a nonprofit charity with a mission to "foster a more accepting society, where differences are embraced and individuality is celebrated."

The foundation has yet to announce many details about its plans, but it's expected to make cyberbullying a focus. Lady Gaga, herself once a bullying victim, has been outspoken on the issue. After the suicide of a New York teenager last year was linked to harassment over his sexual orientation, the singer wrote on Twitter that "bullying must become illegal."

The star power behind the group, along with help from Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society and its Graduate School of Education, makes it one of the most high-profile efforts against bullying, which has increasingly become a focus of education experts, policymakers and politicians nationwide.

When she first announced last year that she would start a foundation with along with her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, the singer said that it would address issues like "self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development and will utilize digital mobilization as one of the means to create positive change."

According to the @BTWfoundation Twitter account, the foundation is "Led by @LadyGaga and her mother Cynthia, we are building a brave new world where humanity is embraced, individuals are empowered, and intolerance is eliminated.''

Today, the executive director of MassEquality, a leading gay rights group, praised Lady Gaga's message but also pointed out that lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender youth in Massachusetts still face high suicide rates and other challlenges in Massachusetts.

"This Foundation supports the core values that any just, accepting society should embrace and empower: the right to live authentically in safety; the resources to learn the skills to be empowered; and the opportunity to enrich your own community with a message of inclusion,'' MassEquality Executive Director Kara Suffredini said in a statement. "These values are critical to empowering all minority groups, not just LGBT people, to live to their fullest potential.''

Meanwhile, Bloomberg News reported that seven Harvard University students who were expelled in 1920 on suspicion of being gay will be remembered in a campus protest today. A group of Harvard students and faculty, called "Their Day in the Yard," is asking for the college to grant degrees to the students expelled more than nine decades ago, Bloomberg reported.

The launch of the Born This Way Foundation will be live streamed here starting at 4 p.m. The event is closed to the general public.

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino announced yesterday that he would attend the launch of the foundation. This afternoon, Menino plans to join 30 Boston public school students for a "youth summit on the issue of bullying in schools" as part of Lady Gaga's anti-bullying campaign.

As part of the visit, Harvard Square businesses are offering discounts for their merchandise and will donate a portion of their sales to the Born this Way foundation.

Upstairs on the Square, for example, this week is inviting people "to come to our over-the-top bar, pink and gold and all dressed up just like Lady Gaga, for a glass of this special rose for $6 per glass, with profits going to the Born This Way Foundation,'' according to Harvardsquare. com.

And Zinnekans waffles "will be donating $2 for each totally sinful Lady Gaga & Oprah waffle (banana, whipped cream, dark chocolate and caramel).''

Local realtor Holly Donaldson of Coldwell Banker is donating 5 percent of her next home sale to the foundation, according to the Harvard Square Business Association.

"The Born This Way Foundation addresses issues such as self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development through research, education and advocacy,'' Harvard Square Business Association said in a statement. "The Gaga nonprofit is in partnership with the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society and the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation."

Meanwhile, Cambridge Community Television reports that the public won't get much of a chance to see Lady Gaga and Oprah, who will be joined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, and Harvard Law Professor Charles Ogletree.

"Everything about the affair is a closely kept secret, presumably to prevent crowding and disorder,'' Cambridge Community Television reports on its blog. "Tickets are not available through the Harvard Box Office, and Harvard and Cambridge police departments are not releasing information about how or when Lady Gaga will get there. Requests for press access have been unanswered by the foundation office and politely turned down by Harvard's Office of Public Affairs and Communications.''
