Before I learned the proper form for squats, I was always hurting myself. Once I learned the correct form I never had problems ... and I was getting a deeper squat to boot! So, for me, they are myths.

We all know the unspoken part ... by volume.

I tend to agree with this; we all know what is meant when folks say this. Reminds me of an episode of "Beauty and the Geek" where the "geek" is arguing with the "beauty" that fat is more dense ... but I personally felt the "geek" was being dense when the "beauty's" argument was easily understood, if not accurately spoken.…

Love it! You could always say, "Tell my what my regular is and I'll confirm it!" I got to that point at Starbucks. Looking back, that's just sad ... and expensive.

I can't believe the above is what was in my clipboard ... how boring!

My diet is eating below my TDEE, while trying to maintain my macro nutrient numbers. Oh, and I LOVE TO EAT, so I do interval cardio training to burn more calories so I can eat more. But, at the end of the week, my calories consumed is about 1750 less than what I burned (including, but not limited to, exercise). I also…

I have to laugh every time someone talks about "bulky" muscles, as if getting "bulky" muscles is easy or something that just happens. The truth is that it's hard to get bulky ... and that's for men. For women ... it's even more difficult. Lift heavy weight and eat right (no excess calories), you won't get bulky. It really…

I'm curious what research has been done that shows that this daily fasting for 16 hours will do anything good for your metabolism. I'm not expert, but this goes against anything I've ever heard. Like the notion that eating breakfast start your metabolism each day. Any research on the subject would be an interesting read.

First, you don't need to do anything if you are overweight. And, you can be overweight while committed to lifting and/or cardio. Since you ask about lifting specifically, here are some things that might help you decide if it's right for you. 1 - Lifting does burn calories, though not as much as cardio does over the same…

I've got a couple of questions, but I may be short on any good advice. When you work your arms with those 10 pound dumbbells, how many reps are you doing, are are you going to failure? You may be getting a benefit if you are going to failure and you're not doing more that 12 or so reps. If you are grabbing 10 pound…

Thank you for the clarification. I didn't state this, but it is very true. It became clear to me that I was getting into better shape when I had to increase the resistance level on the elliptical to get the same HR I had been getting months earlier. This made me realize that I had to work even harder to get the same…

A couple of things: I have the polar FT7. I've never noticed any interference between my watch and chest strap, but I have had interference between my chest strap and the machine I'm using that was caused by my iPhone. It was giving me a heart rate of over 200 bpm when I first got on the machine. Also, I believe a HRM does…

This. Exactly. I got involved in a non-physical affair - seriously, no touching of any kind. I refer to it as an emotional affair in that we both liked each other and talked about it, but neither of us pushed for anything more. It's a long story but the bottom line is my wife found out months after it was over, and she was…

In my youth ... 80. Today ... 45

I love this!!!!

Interesting to hear all the responses. I've done some reading on the subject (does not make me an expert) and have been married for 22 years (makes me more of an expert than what I've read). My wife and I dated for 3 months before I proposed. We were married 6 months later. And when you see we've been married for 22 years,…

With a topic like this, you must be digging for responses. I'll play... Thanks to my cardio routine, I've managed to cut in half my BP medication. I was diagnosed at age 14 with borderline high blood pressure. At age 38, my doctor decided it was finally time to get me on medication. We had to up the dosage once to get the…

I'm pretty sure I'd be asked to run for President! Yes, I am THAT brilliant! Let the slamming begin. :tongue:

I love a good laugh! Thank you all!! Charlie, it's all the laughter and smiles you brought because of this thread that I'm jealous of!

I have a cell phone so I can text people! When I got married the first time (19 years old and 26 years ago), I refused to get a phone for the first 6 months of our marriage. My wife finally convinced me that if we got an answering machine, we wouldn't have to answer the phone. These days, my wife uses the phone to order…

With soup, I like it mixed up. Same goes for a salad. But for everything else, I will eat my least favorite the fastest, and my favorite the slowest. My goal it to make sure my last bite contains the flavor I want to linger in my mouth after I'm done eating. Also, my salad MUST be in a bowl ... not on my plate where it can…

Hehe ... I'm a Christian, and the person talking about tattoo's being a sure ticket to hell doesn't know what it means to be a Christian if that is their belief. But, haters gotta hate I suppose. I've got a tattoo of a dragon on my right shoulder. I got it a long time ago, and had it fixed up about 4 years ago. I got the…

LOL! I work for a healthcare organization doing work on the website. When speaking in terms of when someone is released from the hospital, we use to use the phrase "Discharge date". But many people didn't like the word "discharge", so we changed the text to be "Date released from the hospital" So, you are not alone!

When I hear this, I just want to laugh! I like it, but respect that you do not!

"Here's my ask..." - as in, "Here's my ask: can each of you meet this deadline?" I thought "ask" was a verb! "Can you status that?" I thought "status" was a noun! "U" ... is it too hard to spell out YOU? "R" ... is it too hard to spell out ARE? Now that I've listed what I hate, I do have to include the word... "HATE" ...…

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing! My wife and I went to Maui for our 10th anniversary. We drove the Road to Hana, but did not take this hike. Maybe next time we visit. For our 20th, we went to the Big Island. I'm not sure which one I liked more, but both are better than Oahu. I'm glad you guys didn't have to cancel out…

Reading that you talked to her and she is STILL convinced, it just upsets my stomach that she is about to be taken for a second time. One other piece of advice you should offer her, if she plans on going through with this scam: advise her not to give out any account information - they will damn sure ask for information…

"You've already been scammed once. Now, people have contacted you that you have never met. Someone you have never met has represented you in a foreign country. Do yourself the favor by actually contacting the FBI yourself. You make the call and contact them ... and use a pay phone if you are worried. Find out from the FBI…
