Ahhh, so YOU'RE the guy who backs up the course and makes a 3.5 hour round into an interminable 5! Don't be that guy :)

Unless a woman makes a concerted effort to achieve the muscular look, it will not happen with your garden variety resistance training program. It just won't. You may be doing adequate work with the chores that you do, but most women don't do that and they are missing out on one of the most important benefits of strength…

Picked up and moved a piano with my husband. Thanks deadlifting!

Kudos, OP, that was a fun read.

Girl scout Thin mint cookies. Like crack.

I don't do cardio other than a 10 minute warmup on the treadmill on lifting days, but if I did I would do cardio on nonlifting days. I am so spent after lifting, my legs and arms feel like they're made of jello. During lifting, my heartrate stays relatively high because I don't rest long between sets or between exercises.…

African or European?

Please cite the peer-reviewed studies that demonstrated a reduction in any toxin stored in the body from the use of the product you are so obviously selling. We'll wait.

Hey, now, Hollywood Upstairs Medical College is totally legit!

You originally posted that 1.5% bull**** statistic, when the true efficacy is around 59% depending on the year. I agree that is "moderate" protection from the flu, and that vaccines can be improved, but that's a far cry from your suggestion that only 1.5% of the population is protected by the shot. That is simply false. As…

NaturalNews is not exactly unbiased, and they misinterpreted the actual study: http://www.forbes.com/sites/peterlipson/2013/02/04/how-effective-is-the-flu-shot/ The findings from the abstract: We screened 5707 articles and identified 31 eligible studies (17 randomised controlled trials and 14 observational studies).…

Obummercare? That's what you went with? And you wonder why ignorance is being called out on this thread?

Forget the exercises that work only small muscles (biceps, triceps, inner thighs etc.). Monday Wednesday and Friday, find a program that you like (Stronglifts, NROLFW, Starting Strength) and follow that. If none of those appeal to you, find another program that concentrates on compound lifts. These exercises will work your…

1. How tall are you? If you are near to ideal weight for your height and frame, the pounds will come off slower than if you had a lot to lose. 2. You are 44 - I am 40. I have found that the weight is coming off much slower than it did in my 20s and 30s. IT is taking more patience than it ever has before. 3. What is your…

Cheese is the bomb. Yes it needs to be moderately consumed but there are some lower fat versions out there that taste great and will giv you your fix. I eat mini babybel light (50 cals per wheel), laughing cow, light crumbled blue cheese, part skim mozzarella, grated parm, light shredded cheddar, the list goes on. I don't…

THIS! I weigh myself more often than I should, but I have learned to not let the daily fluctuations get me down. I've had a 5 lb swing IN ONE DAY. I know that's not fat gain/loss, it's water. I look in the mirror and use a tape measure to judge my true progress.

I think it's because weight loss centers typically focus on one thing - the number on the scale. They are not fitness experts or personal trainers and they want to be able to advertise that "So and so lost 40 pounds in X weeks on our program!!!" Newb gains such as they may be are not conducive to rapidly dropping numbers.…

I've been lifting very heavy, doing compound lifts with free weights to failure. My neighbor remarked that I look thinner, even though the scale really hasn't moved much. At a golf outing on Saturday I blasted a drive 300 yards. That's the farthest I've ever hit (I usually hit about 240-250). Yay for strength training!

So I read through this and while I agree wholeheartedly with the positive responses for you, I just would like to add, that if it were me in the situation: I would shame his *kitten*. Everywhere. To his parents and family, to his new girlfriend, to the f**king internet. Then I would seriously consider finding someone…

I hate the fishy aftertaste/burp but I have had great success with Nature Made Burp-less fish oil (1200 mg). I really don't get any fish taste from them at all.

Do you have a lot of fat around your middle? The electric pulse won't even penetrate through to the muscle if you do.

Return the suit. Get a bench, barbell and plates. Use them 3x per week. Then do 30 minutes of HIIT on 3 days of the week you don't lift. Rest on the seventh day. Repeat. Eat sensibly and drink lots of regular water. You're welcome.

QFT. There is a thread on here with a chart of a poster's daily weigh ins. It is very eye opening. Picture a stock chart - lots of little fluctuations, but a visible general trend. You could even plainly see when the poster had her TOM. There was no mistaking the overall downward trend though. If I can find the thread I…

*puts onion on belt* While I agree that there are ways the government can influence behavior in a positive way (it's happened since the existence of taxes after all), a big part of the issue today has to be the change to our lifestyle. I grew up in the 70's and 80's. The screen (TV, computer, phone) was such a small part…

Take measurements, and pay as much attention to them as you do the scale.
