This is totally not fair, all these cute pups make me want a dog to run with. If you have one give him or her a scratch behind the ears and a treat for me!

I don't fuel unless it's a race or near race pace run. For races I use 2x caffeinated gu flavors and take them early and often. For hydration if it's cool out I probably won't take any unless it's a really long run. If it's hot I carry two bottles, and only throw one away so if I need I can refill from a water fountain…

Put a step ladder or chair beside it, step up into the position at the top of the rep and then lift your feet from the chair or ladder. Concentrate on lowering your body as slowly as you can. Repeat as you are able, you get fastest improvement from this eccentric phase, but expect to be sore.

I got a good deal on a treadmill from Costco

You might consider a chest strap that pairs with your phone, depending on what you lift a watch may get in the way. I've got a fenix3 that I absolutely love but I wouldn't want it on when I do certain strength exercises and I really only use it for cardio. If it's not optical you could just put a watch based unit in a…

I'm in for 100 10/3 5.7 miles 10/4 7 miles 10/5 5.16 miles

I was in a 10k once and the people ahead of me were talking and said take a picture to prove we weren't the last ones to finish :D I was the picture :|

These two know how to survive, a better bet than most...although I'm really interested in the new Morgan. My goals: 1. Under calories 6 days a week but I'm going to have to space it so reporting day is the first day of the new week, because we have to report before the day is done here 2. run 20 miles a week 3. strength…

Sorry you hit a plateau, they are frustrating I know. I can't really tell you what will work for you. For me it usually it means I'm underestimating the calories in something I eat, and I drop my daily intake by 100-200 calories. It can also mean I'm getting more efficient at my exercises so I can either increase duration…

*high five* That's so awesome! Congratulations!!! Reaching those milestones makes it all worth it. I'm pretty jazzed that today on a regular run I got a 5 min 10k PR B) Technically it's not a lifetime PR but it's pretty good for recent history

My experience is that HIIT cardio is the best for fat loss, strength traning second and long slow cardio the worst of the three. The long slow cardio burns more calories but the cortisol from the stress of it tends to keep fat on my belly. Have to have the diet right for any of it to work, and sleep matters.

@cocolo89 good luck if you decide to run, and if you don't I hope you get back to 100% soon.

@senecarr interesting, I had always taken the increased aggression, impulsivity, and irritability/reactivity to insult as a given with testosterone in the context of a male dominance hormone. I suppose I'll have to read up on it to see what the prevailing attitude is.

Christian Bale was the most obvious. Even had the roidrages on set. I read something that how many veins you can see is a good giveaway for hGH users.

I think its totally doable...race day atmosphere will get you a couple of extra miles just with the aid stations and crowd support. Go slower and you can run further, don't let the race start push you into going out too fast.

Sometimes what separates us from the outcomes we want is nothing but our own philosophy. What if you for a moment imagine that each one of those people is someone you admire. Rather than focusing on negatives such as what didn't happen or what is wrong with other people the effort will be spent on how to earn more…

motivator by carbopro its made from chocolate and green tea so its probably healthier than most...extra energy without nausea or jitters

I didn't see the cobalt episode yet I guess...but its kind of interesting b/c there was a rumor that AMC was going to have a tie in with their other hit series breaking bad...where the meth was called "blue sky". I don't really see it happening but might be interesting

Hey I hope you find a lot of good advice, I'm not sure how many people here have EDS but if you don't get good responses you may find more information on the patient support websites. I'm not familiar with them first hand but googling will give you some options (for instance the national EDS foundation has a message board…

TEAM First responder: Zombie! RAAAWRRAAAAHH

JP FITNESS haha that was such a blast from the past for me. Thanks for posting it. I think they got started on the menshealth.com forums about 10 years ago. Back then it was all about Lou Schuler's Testisterone Advantage Plan. Looks like they are still in pretty heavy with the new rules of lifting.

First responder Not a zombie but just barely.

Haha I think you need to take the s off of teens

First responder team Met all goals, did the squat video Not a zombie!

First responder team member reporting: mission accomplished (just barely) for this week. Zombies need to up their game if they want to feast on me.

As if the apocalypse isn't bad enough...ZUMBA...OH THE HUMANITY!!!

First responders get the job done B) Way to go everyone!!! This team is hard core!

If anyone didn't see the pilot it's free to watch on the AMC website I was a huge fan of walking dead, it really drew me in from the first episode. Fear of, not so much for some reason. It seemed kind of slow and I really didn't develop a connection to the characters. I wonder if Calvin turning so fast meant that he was…

I did the Sally Squat thing For the fit test 1 mile in 7:56 35 squats 30 push-up +3 knee push-ups Plank hold 1min 7 sec Stretch +1 after taking off my shoes Goals: 1. I ran 21 miles of the 20 mile goal 2. I did strength training 4 days out of the 4 day goal 3. I will be under calories for 6 days of the 6 day goal assuming…

Hey everyone! My goals are 1. Stay under calorie limit 6/7 days a week 2. Run at least 20 miles 3. Strength training at least 4 days
