There are a lot of people that can't wait to have excess skin. Agreed, look at it as a daily reminder of your hard work and success!

Go for a brisk 5 minute walk. I used to be a huge binger and this helped to turn off the signal.

Keep training and never use lifting straps or gloves. Grip strength comes with time and when you finally get it you'll be amazed at what you can hold onto.

Marshall White on youtube has some good strong man conditioning by super setting various lifts like high bar squats, sumo deadlift and then a muscle clean for reps of 3-4 each. Leaves you pretty burned.

No one is forcing women to have babies. (or at least, I'd hope not!) There would be more births at the end of August so paternity leave would coincide with the beginning of football season and of course last until Super Bowl Monday.

I forgot CT Fletcher because it's ... still... my... mother.. fckin'.... set!!!

All of these will work just fine for home use. The rest is up to you.

Hyphy Mud is one of the funnier things I've seen on Youtube. Kali, on steroids or not, is a monster but seems to be a good dude along with Hulse, The Brofessor, Marshall White, MDUSA folk. Could do without the Hodge Twins, that Matt "I'm Natty" FlexForAll Guy and all of these lame broscience people. My supplements: - Good…

I almost moved to Qatar from Singapore two years ago. I had the same concerns going from hot and humid to hot and arid. My advice is to find alternative ways of working out that aren't running. Swimming, for example, is an excellent for of exercise. And there are a lot of pools in Qatar. Also, give weight lifting a try.…

I'm waiting, Mr. Financial Planner. Being a financial planner and knowing about actual investing rarely go hand-in-hand

This is the thread of the butthurt and blanket statement.... and 'Merica cakes. Each to their own. I hate cardio. I love lifting weights. I am learning to control my diet to fit my body and get lean.

If I have a short future on an Aussie government bond and SP CDS on a Singapore corporate what is my interest rate risk profile?

A lot of good responses from people thus far. I am doing the weight training only and calorie conscious approach for the first time ever. I've lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks which is exactly the pace I want to go at in order to preserve strength. Why did I choose this approach? I hate doing cardio. It is boring and wears your…

Good amount of pause / hitching in the 335 which, depending on how serious the powerlifting meet is, would probably get DQ'd. 305 was solid. Give it a few more months and 335 should go easy and you could probably try a 350/360 on your third attempt if 1 and 2 went successfully.

The weights are in your head. Don't over think it.

Living in Asia, being a foot taller than most people and easily twice as heavy, yes I do. Doesn't stop the little old ladies from pushing onto the subway!

Probably is from the max out. Your body isn't used to having that much weight hang off of it! Get in some proper stretching and lay off of the singles for a while! In order to cope with larger amounts of weight in deadlifting or heavy farmer walks I do a lot of rack pulls with more weight than I'd normally be deadlifting.…

Bailing is better than snapping!!!

First off, congrats on the PR! Second, having a cool looking weight stack is the most important thing in the gym. That way people not only know exactly how much you're lifting but they also know you, like me, are anal retentive. :-) On a deadlift I don't think it would matter all that much. On a push press it might account…

Thanks, both! Definitely incorporating more fish and egg whites into my diet. I like how they keep you full and taste different (by fish) or can be prepared different ways (egg whites). Have been lucky to hit ~210 grams on the days I train so it will only take a little more experimenting to get there. I've also been…

Pizza and pancakes.

I like what everyone has said so far. In addition, it often depends on what end-goal you're looking to achieve. For strong man training I don't concentrate so much on depth as I do for the weight being moved but without half-assing the end goal of the exercise - stronger functional strength. For my athletic training, like…

THIS.

Would say given a good day you have 450 easy! A couple weeks off of the singles and low reps should freshen you up nicely for another cycle of going for singles!

I too am a really bad binge eater. There are three things I've done to help me control binges. If I feel like I might be entering a binge I'll go for a walk around the block if I'm at work or take the dog for a quick trot if I'm at home. Second is I'll drink a lot of water throughout the day which helps to cut cravings.…

Each to their own. I"ve been doing it for 16 years, have healthy shoulders and a really good incline bench. Is this better - bring the bar down where it is comfortable? Do you approve now?

As many have said you're doing way, way too many chest exercises. To get that big Arnold-style upper chest you need to have some energy to move the big-for-you weights. Keep the bar close to your chin when you bring it down, keep your elbows in tight and don't take too wide of a grip. For me personally, incline bench is…

Rise Against

For maxes I'll never go 100% fasted. Usually I'll sip down a protein shake before hitting the gym or maybe have an apple / banana. Max lifts for me are more about weeks of singles training beforehand and focusing on a mental image of success. Fasted training and I never really went together.
