Truth! ^^^ This needs to be saved & copied & pasted around.

It's all a part of the Bro-code man! In fact maybe I should get a bro to push my *kitten* up on those last few pullup reps I struggle with :P

That's mostly my strategy as well ^^^. I either add weight with my chain/belt or transition them into muscle-ups (pull into dip position & go all the way up over the bar to straight arms). I can only bust out a few of those now & they're with some kipping, but getting better. Or other variations - pullup move hands…

I eventually pulled outta my wife that her crush is Zac Efron. All those posters above our bed is what gave it away. It doesn't bother me. Now I know what my reconstructive surgery should look like :smile:

Wow! Even by guy standards that's pretty dense! Kudos for not slapping him :)

Chameleone: 23... and your legs

If I knew he/she had a real successful past, sure! A lot of folks have been down the road plenty, then decide to give it up for whatever reason. But this reminds of a saying "never trust a thin chef". That I don't think I would do :wink:

First question... is it definitely a "mud run" vs a Warrior Dash or Spartan Race? Most of the time, a "mud run" is just that running in a lot of mud (& prbly crawling at some point), not a lot of obstacles. In a mud run my primary training would be just running. If it will have obstacles then I would definitely try running…

I have a Harry Potter scar (lightning shaped on my forehead that goes into my hairline.) In football, not wearing a helmet, I dove for a fumble & hit a guy's shin.

I've lived in Houston now for over 4 years. I can tell you it's great to those who haven't lived anywhere else. As soon as folks move away for a good while, they realize there are better places to live. Sorry to be a downer on the most proud state but it's unrelentingly hot & humid,, people pretty much stay inside from May…

Yes, Pure Protein is a brand of protein bar, fairly common ones. And not too bad seeing as they actually have more proteins than carbs. And don't believe the hype about bulking. A woman bulking (without the use of steroids) is a myth; a very well perpetuated one.

a loincloth

Yeah you accidentally stumbled upon myFITNESSpal.com. I think you wanted myWEIGHTLOSSpal.com... common mistake.

Oh crap it's just a dieting site? In my quest for general fitness, you're saying I've been in the wrong place for the last 3 years?!?!

I listen (lurk) more than I speak.

Beginners are able to recover (and achieve gains) more rapidly than experienced lifters. If you're currently working one muscle group on alternating days I think that's enough recovery. As time goes and you approach your genetic potential, you'll probably find that you need more recovery time. So long as you can lift thru…

By clueless and insensitive, do you mean the type of person who'd make sweeping generalizations about an entire gender?

I agree with this ^^^. Actions always speak louder than words. And, frankly, I think sometimes folks will even rebel against words if it's perceived as nagging or whatever. It's gotta be a decision from him. I can tell you that over time you can def find a good middle ground if you work on it. I'm the husband that's kind…

Yes. Here I can bump it :)

Yeah I'm such a sucker for dark hair & dark (or blue) eyes... Zooey, Salma, JLo Hewitt, Megan Fox, Sofia Vergara, Natalie Portman or my local traffic girl Jennifer Reyna. I REALLY stay on top of the local traffic around here!

Haha, I made these... and they were awesome! But I guess I'm the only numbskull who didn't know you're supposed to refrigerate them once made. They were great last night... not so good this morning :sick:

Thanks all! These are some great ideas!

38-42. Once in a hospital I had some fun cuz an alarm beep would go off when it hit 40 or lower. So to bug the nurse is relax as much as possible & keep setting the alarm off.

992 Words cannot express how I feel for your loss

Like I said, for a lot of folks it's the limited number of olympic bars that's the issue.

Right. It's the number of available olympic bars that's the problem.

I'd agree except that if the only other olympic bar at the gym is being used by some dude doing curls, then I'm doing my deadlifts with the other.

^^^ with Scorpios and with Pisces. A Cancer and a Pisces can move the earth.

Will def try this!

Well, assuming you mean a weight loss plateau, at some point you'd need to start asking yourself if the number on the scale really matters. I'm sure you know that the same weight can look very different in terms of composition. So I think the StrongLifts program you're doing is a great move. But yeah, muscle will burn more…
