  • Wow MKLAMAN! How did you find that?!? http://www.popscreen.com/p/MTI4NjEzNTEz/-Starline-Cow-Water-Bowl-Waterer-Watering-Livestock-Cattle-Dish-eBay
  • I love the way my body looks in a pitch black room.
  • Isn't TurboJam and TurboFire a lot of kickboxing stuff? Maybe you can find one of those programs on ebay for cheap and pair it with something like Power90 so you get strength AND something you enjoy.
  • I am sorry, but I disagree wholeheartedly. I run in obstacle races like the Spartan Races and during registration, they give you some samples of different products from Gaspari Nutrition. Did I take it before the race?! Heck no! Why would I take ANYTHING before a race if I have never taken it before? I have no idea how my…
  • Think about time and what time means. Sure, we all want immediate results, but it is so important to think about everything extrapolated out over time. Why do I recommend this? Simple. Think of this: if you walked for just 15 minutes a day extra, that would be over 100 calories a session. Providing nothing else changed,…
  • Most people really don't want an answer to this question because it means they won't get their "goodies" either. Get rid of all foods high in sugar or starch until the child learns that veggies and meats can fill all voids. Veggies can be sweet, crispy, savory, spicy, or anything you want them to be depending on how they…
  • Well, let me share my thoughts about Insanity and maybe it will explain the lack of men who are active in the group. I am two weeks in to Insanity at this point and, while it still kicks my butt every day, I am making serious progress. On the other hand, I can visually see my lats and biceps getting smaller. I can also…
  • I am on Day 4 - Cardio Recovery. Not looking forward to it since I know there are a lot of squats and my legs feel like Jello today.
  • Yeah, I wasn't planning on doing additional workouts, but subbing some here and there. Like you suggested, I was thinking about subbing out the recovery ones for some upper body work since my lower body could probably use a break anyway. Maybe you are right and I should try the recovery one this week. I am just so worried…
  • I just started on Monday. I am still torn to whether I am going to do the whole thing as written, do the first month and then go P90x/Insanity hybrid in the second month, or start a modified hybrid today. I have been doing the strength workouts from p90x since June so I am really worried about losing the progress I made in…
  • Mountain climbers, Burpees (yes, I said burbees), Superman back extensions (can always do the superman / banana roll for 10 second holds), wood choppers, standing bicycle crunches, one leg stiff leg deadlifts (since it is a class, you have to go with no weight, high reps), etc, etc, etc,
  • I am a big fan of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard. Great flavor, mixes good, and whey isolate is the first ingredient in the protein blend. Isolates are more expensive than concentrate. I believe the ON Gold Standard product has the best mix for the cheapest price. Also, check Vitacost (…
  • I would, but I have the flirting capability of a garden vegetable and am as fun as a rock in your shoe on a long hike.
  • I didn't watch Tony's tips, but here is what I did: Use the chair to help you up and then lift your foot slightly off the chair so you lower yourself with your full weight. Lower yourself slow and in control. My first week I did 13 unassisted (total) in the Legs and Back workout. This week (one week left before I finish),…
  • Google is your friend. Try typing "Lose fat gain muscle study" in the search bar (without the quotes) and you will get a good start. You will see there have been a BOATLOAD of studies that have proven you can build muscle while simultaneously burning fat. Take, for example, the 1996 Ballor study. People cite this study all…
  • Yes you can. Many people on here will tell you otherwise but they are flat out wrong.
  • Page 20 for the first Bengals fan. Go Bengals! WhoDey?!
  • Exactly right. Right now my upper abs are starting to show quite nicely. My friends say they aren't abs and are, in fact, my nipples... but I say they are abs and I am proud of my sweet 2-pack.
  • Dude.. I am talking about STUBBLE! I have a happy trail too. Maintenance is key, but a 5 o'clock shadow on your happy trail is just silly. On the other hand, if that is your aspiration, have at it.
  • I am pretty sure I can see STUBBLE in that picture!! Are you kidding me? That wouldn't be sexy on a woman either! Look. I get it, he has a great body, but pubic stubble gets you going? Err.... ok.. .
  • I am mostly talking about the pictures on here -- not even guys out on the street. I am sorry, when a MAN has to bikini wax to wear a pair of jeans or shorts, it is just sad. Yes, a man should do a little manscaping, but some of these pics are ridiculous. =) I have a great set of glutes.. Maybe I need to change my picture…
  • I am going to say something very unpopular and for that, I apologize. I personally think you need to be almost all gray to pull off the "silver fox". When it is just in the 20% gray range, it kinda has a burnt out hippie look. That said, I HAVE seen women who can pull it off so you might want to try. If you want to keep…
  • True, but toxic, according to Merriam Webster, doesn't necessarily kill you either since the words "serious debilitation" are in the definition. In reality, it is all semantics anyway. I eat sugar so I don't give two poops about this debate. =)
  • First: I am not arguing either side of the argument. I just wanted to clear something up. "Toxic" doesn't necessarily mean it will kill you. Your body (liver) will, however, process a toxin before other nutrients. For instance, alcohol is a toxin so your liver prioritizes the processing of alcohol and stops metabolizing…
  • I would switch to a 10 pound dumbbell and curl. When your wrists strengthen, you will be able to do more. To be honest, this is a lesson on why machines are terrible. Basically, you have a muscle imbalance that could easily result in an injury. Your bicep says you can lift X,Y,and Z yet your connective tissue in your…
  • Vaseline works too if you don't feel like buying Bodyglide.
  • Great job!! I am, however, a bit confused by the concept. You were 4.76%BF to start and it sounds like you were trying to gain some muscle mass. Why did you add the extra cardio of Asylum instead of just doing P90X2 by itself? I am sure you would have gained much more lean body mass if you left out the Insanity. I am very…
  • Mercola just compiled a list of 68 studies, none of which were done by Mercola. Not one or two. Sixty Eight! Most of them say who the study was funded by. Of the studies I looked at from this post claiming aspertame is fine and dandy, NONE showed who funded the study. Admittedly, I didn't look at all of them so maybe you…
  • Here is a link that has 68 different studies about aspertame. Read some and make your own decision. As for the people saying it is fine: they are finding studies that say wat they want to hear. If you are comfortable with that, then by all means keep drinking it. I will not put that poison in my body, but that's just me.…
  • I am not sure if it will help, but I like to work out hard and heavy when I am feeling down. I can NOT do long cardio or anything like that because my mind drifts and I dwell on what is bothering me. Instead, I push heavy weights or, as a poster said earlier, I kick or punch a heavy bag. If you can find a release at the…
