Organic. Home made. Fresh ingredients. Been there. It's good, but meh as an alternative to the processed taste I'm after.

short, sweet and to the point :) Worchester is on the shopping list now.

10 pounds is about 40 000 kcal. You got 21 days. Thats a deficit a grown man can live on.

I would have though this thread was dead already. In a month the land will begin to produce more that I can eat or give away. Starchy stuff comes autumn. It's the reds and greens and yellows I need to consume soon. I'll google vitamix, but I doubt I'll find it in this market. This non-centrifugal thingie sounds interesting.

This is exactly what I was after, but it seems my opinion is now to give it a pass because the others said so. I'm a reasonably seasoned cook, but I don't cook for myself. Waste of time. I wouldn't appreciate my cooking anyway.

I've never used one. Seems like a fine shortcut. I gather it would require more involved cooking to utilize the leftovers. Eating raw fiber mush doesn't sound like an easy sell.

I'm mildly drunk and typing on a iPhone, but lifting how many days a week (full On?) and two hockey practices in there somewhere? Anything less than a cow a day would leave you gassed. Weights suffered dramatically means 1) You got weaker 2) you stalled 3) you didn't become Conan the barbarian in a week Would you like to…

This I can use!

I'm not going beast mode on for now. I was surprised of the strength of the effect of muscles having proper fuel to play with. I was hoping for a quick survey on magnitude, but I got mostly boiler plate. I will eventually learn to formulate my questions correctly. Thank you all for your time, though.

But you ARE being a dick. Not reading the question, being enthusiastic about your opinion, and grinding an obvious axe are surely going to get you there. Please, tell me more about these doctors I see you mention. Are they as free with off topic patronization as you are, because I love it!

Unfortunately a lot of the half squats (not the quarter squats with an overloaded bar, but the decent efforts, the 90 degree knee angle people) I've seen are mostly the result of over careful PT's. I don't recall terribly horrible form with deep squatters and heavy enough weights. Women are especially good at being good…

Meh, suck it up and eat more. That's what I've done the last 25 years. I was hoping for a flood of superfluous information and hard numbers. I see it here all the time. Trying my bestest to be part of it.

A shortcut that requires a bit of luck and trust in strangers: Look up a few squat videos on the internet so you approximately know what a deep barbell squat looks like. Go to gym and see a person doing said squat with about body weight or more. Ask for help. Variations of this happen on a daily basis. PTs cost money and…

I meant that after probably being ketogenic for a month and a half of lifting (and working) and feeling it, I unintentionally for the first time loaded myself with carbs, and the next day I was more where I thought I supposed to be strength wise. The difference was larger than I ever expected. Two days later, albeit still…

I probably should mention that SS has taken me to 2xBW in DL (and correct scaling in other lifts) before. Various programming has put me at 2.5xBW in DL occasionally. Nothing fancy, but plenty strong to open jars.

Possibly. I'm paying attention to this. As a repeat customer, the gains don't tend to be so leapy and boundy. Cheap form gains are over with, and most neurons have woken up. I want to blame the food, but I don't want to complicate matters. 'Tis why I'm asking.

Because-for me-it's the least fussy way to deal with food. I can't keep up with my calorie intake in the long run if I'm eating willy nilly. This kind of lagging in strength is unacceptable though, but I'm afraid of all the more complicated options. Carb cycling and all that. Will listen nevertheless. Eat eggs, go through…

You're good for push-ups without weights for some time. Get up to about ten clean ones, and ramp it up by lifting your legs. Once your legs are on a chair with ten clean ones, you need to start adding weight or get acrobatic (handstand push-ups, never got very far with those), try something silly like rocks stuffed into a…

TL;DR be aware of pitfalls, don't trust the box until you do. Read up on it. Have fun. Don't be proud of torn callouses. Get ripped. I was doing CF alone in the very early days when it was just about only in the public domain and no buzz, the time when you just looked weird doing it. Progressed to the only gym in my…

I'm a bit anal when it comes to cast iron. Lard, coconut, even butter (clarified first) do well. It's a grill, right? Just blast the kitten out of it in the beginning well basted in fat. If you don't see smoke, you're only fancifying it. Flaxseed just turns into oil paint at low heat, albeit get the grill to black heat and…

Huh? Getting to one unsubbed abwheel IS the progression to everyone below a hardened athlete. Then there are vests. And ingots of iron that go into those vests. The progression stops when the wheel breaks under the weight.

Oh, it wasn't food poisoning. I was just very weak and I ate three weeks worth of food. Just get your shots, don't let the monkeys bite you, and you'll be fine. No more civil war either. Nice place, all in all.

27 Mcal is only a few litres of oil. Throw in some sugary binders, and that's barely a bucket of food. I'm sure I've touched similar numbers on occasion. You need a big frame for that though. My worst is not my biggest. Had recovered from typhoid in Nepal, and having eaten nothing solid for three weeks, I made my way to…

Just don't get dynamic and ballistic stretching mixed up.

I verbally abuse my co-workers until they stop smirking, whip the kitchen staff to do my bidding, and pretend to customers it's something they missed on the menu. It took a while to get to this point, but it helps we only go to two-three different places. Literally, the pain of having to shut people up who know everything…

We even look the same!

*kitten*, you're my twin separated in maternity warden! Apart from me never having had a proper physical - hence not knowing how deep I'm in it - just about everything matches, all the way down to disliking paying attention to eating out with customers and co-workers.

I do, obviously. I know of his reputation, might as well read what he writes.

He started it. The forward fold variation goes straight into the toolbox, thanks! Getting rid of straddle sucks are one of the main motivations to post in the first place, I'll keep on looking. And that reclining half-hero pose used to be (and may well be again, now that I remember it) an accessory lift for squats. I can't…

An observation is that I'm perfectly comfortable in sharing a sauna with naked women. Goes with the territory; sauna is considered quite asexual in Finland (albeit not wholly so, I suspect a large chunk of us have begun in one), but put on some yoga pants, and go for some downward dog and it gets distracting really fast.…
