Would you be able to take a nice warm shower to loosen up and then work out? Heck, put a good non slip pad down in the shower and do a mini workout in there with the warm water flowing on you. You could start with some knee lifts (brace yourself on the wall and gradually increase the height and speed of your knee raises…

Your doctor may, or may not, be an idiot as so many in this thread have said. However, the mere fact that she gives the same advice to all women indicates that her mind is narrow. I was an amateur competitive bodybuilder many years ago and life changed. It happens. I stopped training and REALLY let myself go (like 50…

Ugh. Wake up. There's no damn movement trying to force us to accept that fat is anything other than unattractive except by some dipshit media idiot deciding that it would be a cool story that would get them noticed because there are so many fat people in this country who refuse to take responsibility for their own lack of…

Congratulations on your decision to make the change! I use this app to track my food intake and calories expended. I promised myself that I'd be honest and enter everything. Some days I love this thing. Some days I would stab it in the femoral artery (if it had one) with a sharpened stiletto heel and gleefully watch it…

I am SO stealing this!

*****UPDATE***** I found what I was looking for. I can't figure out how to post a photo. They are called Grip Power Pads (Reverse) and have a thick hook that faces the palm so a barbell or dumbbell won't fall when you're working out. Ordered from Amazon for less than $35.00. Can't wait to be able to push some more…

Thanks. The suicide grip is what I've been using, but my traitorous hands refuse to hold on to sufficient weight to train at the level I want. That's why I was wondering if anything had been developed to assist. Actually, there is something in existence, but it's cost prohibitive for someone who doesn't intend to compete…

My husband and I get up at 330am and walk into the gym by 350. I hate nothing more than the alarm going off at that hour, but I've always preferred morning workouts to evening. We live in the Washington DC area and he works at the Pentagon, so commute consideration has to come into play here. We decided we wanted to work…

Thanks for that, I checked it out, but I wasn't clear. I should have ensured that it is understood that I can't engage my thumbs in order to hold on to a weight. I have to grip with just the other 4 fingers on each hand. This works fine with straps for pulling motions, but not so great for pushing weights that actually…

Lol I have an ex-husband who, two years into the marriage thought I was 5'7". I'm 5'3". He didn't believe me so, being a carpenter, got out a tape measure and measured twice. When he realized the truth he said "You might only be 5'3", but you have 5'7" worth of attitude."

I guess most of us have those days/weeks where we just want to be indulgent. I've found that getting mad at myself, or depressed about it, or just deciding that just F it...those things don't work. I've recognized that I'm going to indulge sometimes and it's ok. It is part of my nature. I am NOT someone who can or will…
