  • Why would you remove the fat? That's what makes it AWESOME, and sets it apart from the junk you get at the store!
  • But this picture is not men in kilts, this is women in kilts. I am pretty sure I would enjoy that race though.
  • I am just here for the men in kilts.
  • In the cardio database, there are both body weight squats and several flavors of calisthenics. So, if you are doing 10 minutes of jump squats, I would select the "calisthenics, vigorous" option; and the bodyweight option for just regular squats. If you are doing high reps weighted for an extended period, I would probably…
  • One more link; here is a fella who has a gym focused specifically on climbers. He is training professionals with a lot more intensity and variation than what is in Stronglifts, but all the classic compound lifts are there, along with some "weights" you could source on your own. "The best thing I can do for my athletes is…
  • Your goals are so specialized and unique, I don't think you can expect any kind of tool that has an algorithm to provide a satisfactory answer. I would talk with or research a variety of other climbers who are in the shape you are aspiring to be in, and build a training regimen based on what they are suggesting. Since you…
  • Yikes...duly noted on the Russian Twists. They are part of my Sitting In Front Of The TV When I Don’t Want to Workout workout. I do lower weight, higher rep with them but maybe I will stop. OP, if you are in that much pain, it doesn’t make sense to push yourself. I tweaked my back doing deadlifts a couple years ago....just…
  • Many of the professors I have had would have been utterly irreplaceable. What a gift of love and knowledge to give to his students, and such bravery in the face of death.
  • My point was, it was not HER representation of her weight that I posted. It was what was posted on celebrity sites and Wikipedia, which can be all kinds of inaccurate. It could be old, it could be made up, it could be publicity that requires an asterisk and the disclosure “For marketing purposes only.” As the great Abraham…
  • I was just chiming in to say, I had posted that based on the stats available out on the interwebs, and as we know, the interwebs NEVER lie, nor do people ever misrepresent their weight...right? :D I thought she looked heavier too, but just figured it was the tricky camera or something. However, after you asked this, I…
  • This makes me think of something I read many years ago; my focus was the medieval era with one focus on the history of medicine (and disease) and its representations in literature. So I was widely read across 3000 years of diseases, with special attention paid to plague and leprosy. At some point I came across something…
  • My husband is a scientist too, a chemist...whereas I can easily work from home, it's not like he can bring home all his test tubes and equipment and bottles of acid and such. As far as redundant employees, it doesn't make a lot of sense to maintain two chemists to do one chemist's job, or to expect a secretary with some…
  • First, don’t worry about bulking up...it is difficult for women to add muscle, more so as we get older, especially while eating in a deficit. Your lifting for now will just be to preserve muscle, which you will appreciate down the road if you have any loose skin from losing weight. The toned look you would like to achieve…
  • Here are a couple of different options for Excel charts that you can tailor as needed to your individual circumstances. https://www.excelmadeeasy.com/templates-nutritional-charts.php One has 8600 foods, the other has 800 foods.
  • Welcome to the site! You and I have a few things in common (two kids growing up, long-term marriage and completely out of shape when I started), but I am a year older, and my "illuminating moment" hit me a few years ago. I worked my way down from 180+ to 140 lbs in a bit less than a year, and worked my way up to being able…
  • Thank you. I normally make the Betty Crocker cookbook recipe with lemon juice, garlic and assorted herbs, but this sounds great. Yay, ACV!
  • If I am packing my lunch: A turkey sandwich with provolone and romaine, or a pan of lasagna made with lots of veg in the sauce (tomatoes, zucc, summer squash, eggplant, and/or mushrooms), carefully cut into smaller portions and weighted out (300 g or less), plus several bags of prepared fruit and veg. Today I have 275 g…
  • I need this recipe, please! @snickerscharlie
  • Also, what is the connection with Chipotle to specifically organic food recalls? I don’t believe that any organic connection has been identified with the E. coli issue in 2015, which I believe you are referring to since it would be crop or animal related, as opposed to the norovirus spread by sick or dirty workers in 2017.…
  • The NY Times article is unpersuasive as to the point you are trying to make. Potentially it is showing a one year blip, based on one particular approach to crunching the numbers put out by one company, and persuasively disputed by the trade association. I am interested in a year over year correlation with numbers and…
  • Most of the public is comprised of people who would come across as drooling idiots if you asked them ANY ag related question, even a gimme such as, explain the importance of the NPK ratio on that bag of fertilizer you are dumping on your lawn.
  • While it is certainly true that all manure carries risk, it is not true that manure is the only fertilizer available to organic growers. I personally use composted yard waste and veg, greensand, soybean meal, blood meal, bone meal, feather meal, fish emulsion, kelp emulsion, agricultural lime, and a variety of other…
  • In the US, human manure is not permitted in organic farming, but its use is starting to boom in conventional agriculture. It’s still an organic fertilizer, it just can’t be used by organic growers.
  • I consulted Dr. Google. During the red haired phase, she was in WWE, did 2 hours of Oly lifting at the gym (times per week unspecified, but I would guess at least 3 or 4 days) and had to be physically able at all times to lift another human above her head. She is 5'8" and 125 lbs.…
  • If you are on "create a new exercise" under "my exercises", make sure you have selected cardiovascular and NOT strength training.
  • Here are a few different options, depending on how advanced you are, what kind of equipment you have access to, what your goals are, and how much time you have. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you/p1 I just look up form videos on youtube and compare a couple…
  • Look for shoveling snow under the cardio options and enter the time you spent doing it (or adjust the time to get the right amount of calories if you are trying to match the burn from a heart rate monitor).
  • If only there were a diet that was highly regarded from both a nutritional and a culinary perspective that featured very healthy foods like lasagna and, say, other traditional Mediterranean foods, appropriately moderated. It could also--and I'm just daydreaming here--remind us to get adequate exercise as an excellent…
  • Ay! Zombie thread!!! I just made this lasagna. I did not manage to successfully calculate the nutrition on it, because I used 1 lb of each of the meats, and then ended up having a LOT of both the meat sauce and cheese filling left over (I am not sure what I did wrong), so I said screw it and just weighed and logged it as…
