This is a good read for any cyclist: http://www.body2bike.com/articles/shoulderpain.pdf

Oh, you guys are talking about big leg muscles? No one has bigger quads than the German track cyclists: No steroids either. That's all natural.

It's a gym that you can go to and they give away free pizza once a week or once a month.

You're going to Planet Fitness?

YOU'RE BREAKING THE SPEED LIMIT!!! Where are the cops! Give this man a ticket!! :tongue: I once hit 44mph on a downhill... On a bike from the 70's... With the original, smooth steel wheels... With no knowledge that there was a tight chicane at the bottom, followed immediately by loose gravel. To this day I still don't know…

Holy serious *kitten* man. Glad you're ok! Screw the bike. You managed to walk away. The drivers insurance should cover the cost of a new bike.

Aim to hit your macros. The magic of macros is when you hit your macros spot-on, your calories will be spot on as well, barring nutritional information labels being accurate, which they usually aren't.

You're right. I forgot that people would rather spend money on something so they don't have to do the work to figure it out for themselves.

Does Slim Shady stand up most of the time?

I'll take two approaches to this: a) As I said, you need to start somewhere. Pulling a number out of the air won't do you any good. Using TDEE is a good place to start, but it is just an estimate. You shouldn't use the number as if it were God. Start with it, eat that amount, see if you've achieved your goals for the…

You should add some 'No Salt Added' seasoning and maybe some chili powder. Oh boy, is that yummy!

I would like to add not just steady state, because a stroll in the park is steady state. Steady state, aerobic cardio activity. In other words, you're working hard enough to sweat, but you're not killing yourself.

Someone clearly didn't do their research. Ever heard of TDEE? You might want to look it up.

So... You're unhappy with being a little bit overweight. You've decided you wanted to lose the weight yesterday. You choose to to be blatantly moronic and cut your eating so low that you are going to completely compromise your health so you can be thinner. End result: You'll be skinny, but if you aren't dead, you'll look…

Personally, I wouldn't trust a damn thing that uses formulas and algorithms to calculate your calorie burn. Instead, I would use something that requires no tools but a way to log your caloric intake. Pic a number of calories to eat that should create a deficit, and eat that amount for a month. After a month, see how much…

My only concern with using these are: What if it starts to rain? Your phone will be effed. What if you crash? Your phone will be effed. I also personally NEVER listen to music while on the trails. It's just a distraction. When I did try it, I crashed twice in 30 minutes. IMO, if you need to listen to music while…

lol @ eating it by itself.

No from me, thank you. I know people absolutely love them, but it's just another "thing" to me.

Carbs shouldn't be your enemy at any time of the day, but you should definitely try to get more protein into your diet. I love a good bagel, but perhaps start buying English Muffins instead of bagels, and throw in a few slices of deli meat, cream cheese, whatever. Also, throw an apple or two into your bag to eat on your…

1kg/week is still WAY too extreme a weight loss for anyone who isn't morbidly obese. You should be aiming for 0.25kg/week or, at most, 0.5kg/week. any more than that and your hair will start to fall out again. Oh, and if you want to look healthy, stop thinking about losing weight. Instead, think about putting on muscle.…

I doubt it's food intolerance. Food intolerance's are very different symptoms, often more like having a nasty virus.

More doggies!!!

I'd also like to add: The "fat burning" zone is a myth as well. What is true, is when you are at a lower heart rate, the PERCENTAGE of calories you barn from fat is greater than the PERCENTAGE you burn from glycogen. However, as you increase your heart rate, you increase the TOTAL number of calories burned. The PERCENTAGE…

I'm getting 17+g of fibre per day.

It's only nasty because that's how you choose to interpret the responses. "Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life." -Walter Anderson

Not nasty. Honest. This is a public forum. Everyone on here is entitled to share what they think about what you are asking about. If you do not want to hear what anyone of these people have to say, go to a private forum, start a group, or join an existing group. ETA: I'll be watching for the mean people thread.

I'm dong a meal replacement program. However, I'm not wasting my money on something like that. I make my own shakes at home. Costs me $5.80/day. But I'm doing it because my budget doesn't allow for real foods. Food is too expensive. If I could afford to buy what you're buying, I'd be eating real food. Any purchased "plan"…

Flickr is a real PITA to get photos from. But, here's what you have to do (playing from memory because I can't get on Flickr on here): Open the image you want to view. Somewhere there's a link that lets you "view all sizes" or something. It will then bring you to an html page, as opposed to a flash page. At the top will be…
