Mario Brothers on NES - used to play it at a friends place all the time. Things changed when I got into PC gaming and started playing RTS' & RPG's. Definitely became more than just a casual gamer after games like Command & Conquer, Warcraft, Final Fantasy etc.

Wave from a distance as you're getting all licky :p

Open although half the time I don't click complete cause I pre-log the night before and don't need the "wtg's!". It's nice and all, but kinda redundant these days :p

Love basketball but far from a highschool/college player these days... Played throughout school and stopped after getting into uni and working part time as well. Have been back into it the last 2 years both socially and in local competition competition.

I used to use straps quite a lot when doing bent over rows, shrugs and deadlifts cause I didn't like using mixed grip. Since it was only training and not a comp I was fine using the straps. One day I forgot them and started using the hooked grip and chalk and haven't used my straps on a heavy deadlift since. I will note…

Definite hot affair with that Polar FT7 ;)

Cute dress

My concluded preference seems to be: * Female * Short/Petite (4'11 - 5'4 :D) * Brunette * Into some form of regular exercise/sport * Clinically sane, not over possessive and able to handle/dish out jokes Now if they have green eyes, are into gaming or can quote Simpsons proficiently that's a huge plus xD

I've got a Staffordshire bull terrier - she's pretty cool. If I could have any animal as a pet, I'd have an Orca. Or a Griffin.

No

It differs from person to person. MFP's defaults set carbs way too high and protein way too low. This link has been posted which is an online calculator to work out your macro targets http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ Just plug in some numbers and you'll have some better figures to work with. Remember, it's just an online…

They have that shifty walk...

I keep a tub of Optimum Nutrition Oats & Whey in my drawers at work in case I miss a meal for whatever reason. WIth a cup of milk I get a good hit of protein, carbs and fat if using full cream milk. Tastes good too and adds a bit more fibre to your day.

I used to low carb (<100g a day at times) and lost weight. Now I'm consuming anywhere between 200g (low day) and 450g and still able to lose weight so I'm not a hater of carbs. They're too delicious to hate.

Rich chocolate mousse cake (had 2 slices of one last week cause I felt like it and was estimated to be over 2000 calories with 100+ grams of sugar) topped with meringue and choc coated honeycomb. I'm an IIFYM person and it totally blew my macros out for the day. Totally worth it though ;D

Go to breakfast: Proatein shake (instantized oats, multi stage release protein, skim milk) Banana (or other piece of fruit if out of banana's. Tablespoon of peanut butter Common lunch items: Grilled fish + brown rice + salad Grilled chicken + rice/pasta/sweet potato + salad Avocado Common dinner items: Grilled chicken…

Definitely barbell.

Looked at the website and checked out the video and it does look like a great challenge and a great way to really focus on the task at hand for the 12 week period with the diary and blogs and whatnot. I've decided not to enter as the logging work sounds quite time consuming and I'm already burning the candle at both ends…

3 day shake bender ftw

Loved deadlifts from day 1 (mainly cause I rocked at them). Also quite keen on front squats and recently fell in love with power cleans.

Combination of changes to your training regime and nutrition plan. Training - Step away from the DVD workouts and pick up some iron. Start a strength/weights training program. There's a lot available on Bodybuilding.com - find one that will suit your schedule. Doing a 5 day program that you can only commit 3-4 days a week…

1. Oats 2. Milk 3. Brown rice 4. Brocolli 5. Spinach 6. Chicken breast 7. Rump steak 8. Eggs 9. Bananas 10. Tomatos

Exactly! Or after hitting a PR 1RM I'm gonna drop that weight but it's from just above the knees in a controlled straight down motion. Actually *throwing* any weight is stupid and potentially dangerous to people and property.

While I don't "throw" a loaded bar down after a lift, I will "drop" it especially on things like heavy power cleans or maxed out deadlifts. My gym has no problem with people dropping weights in a controlled manner (such as dropping a loaded bar after a deadlift straight down), but throwing them down is a different story as…

You've worked hard and are right to be proud of what you've achieved, and what you're still yet to achieve (a lot, I'm sure!) - just seems the people around you are going to have to get used to it as it is your life and your choice to do what you do. PS - I promise not to grope you if we go for beers in July ;p

I've recently bought a pair of adidas adipower weight lifting shoes. I used to use a pair of old runners or on heavier weight would lift in my socks but with the amount I'm lifting these days I've noticed my ankles and knees turn in a bit due to the arch in my soles. Since using these shoes I've noticed I'm a lot more…

Terrible to say the least. Cheap Tuesday meant 2 large pizza's for dinner. Regular visits to KFC and Burger King, sometimes would hit both in the same day. Constant snacking on chips, lollies, ice cream, chocolate, cakes - whatever was around or tickled my fancy. In my defence though, I did eat quite a bit of healthy whole…
