I always machine dried my t-shirts and as I got bigger I would only hang dry them to prevent shrinking. I was in a large at the time, then had to move to XL. Once I was not only hang drying my XL's but then having to stretch the crap out of them to make them fit, I knew something had to be done. Also, I couldn't breathe…

What about Celexa makes someone gain weight, is it loaded with calories? I have been gaining since starting celexa, I've also been over my calorie limit by approx 400 calories each day. Coincidence?

Thanks Stage14.

This actually hit me last night, I thought if I remembered correctly the iPhone app says, "if that was easy rest 90 secs, if hard rest 3 minutes." I then thought dang at the rate I'm going I could end up taking 15 minutes between sets and that is definitely not how the program is designed. Thank you for reminding me of…

^^True. Thanks all for the advice.

I really wanted to test 1RM. I wonder how a 70% deload week would affect next weeks 1rm attempts?

Sleep is almost always excellent, unfortunately only about 6.5 to 7 hours. Ha, not well. Recently found out I have anxiety and am now being medicated for it. For example, I used to sing and play music all the time on stage in front of folks. I was watching a show this weekend and called up on stage during a music break for…

I feel like 12 weeks of lifting (last 5-6 being heavy) may warrant a break, but like I said wasn't sure if was just in my head or me being a sissy. Or actually needing it.

Thank you for the explanation. I am now interested in finding a novice competition myself.

OP, when you refer to "getting lights," what does that mean. (I understand it has to do with proper form/depth?)

And please know, my response was not towards your comment, my first thought after reading the OP was "this is awesome" haha.

"This is awesome" gets thrown around a lot, but seriously this is really cool and awesome :). Thanks for sharing and congratulations on competing.

Sounds like the thread winner here. That had to be unbearable.

No, he was just proving that the "internet experts" could not diagnose him via the interwebzzz. Take that, bam! derp.

Generally, those considered "true experts" on this site will ONLY provide input when they are given ALL details.

You were so close to special snowflake status until you mentioned you were under professional supervision. (hence the reason the, as you describe, "internet professionals" backed off.

Read through page 2 and already decided I must be in. Thread.Has.Potential

Squats, Rows, and...flower pot deadlifting.

My thoughts exactly. If that is skinny fat, I am doomed.

From excitement? I hope :)

Whoa, are you talking studio albums?

Never thought I'd see the day that King Garth made his return! OP, I'm right there with ya, excited!!!

Backpedaling is much more admirable than the usual MFP rant/ragequit. OP, this is a terribly sticky situation. Your child: Certainly needs guidance in food choices as she is not old enough to know better. Your wife: In my own experience, any advice whether solicited or not is generally not met with kindness…

+1 yep

bump. Great post!

I know. I'm always running late and have just enough time to finish my sets barring any failure, so when I do fail, I don't have the 5 extra minutes required by the program for recovery. It's about me not getting to the gym on time, which also creeps in to me not getting to work on time, both of which need great…

While on lunch I tried flat semi-wide feet which was more comfortable and I was able to get them about halfway back. Felt more tight and stable. Also, tried grip width just outside shoulder width also felt better, no pesky elbow or shoulder pain. I am having trouble keeping traps pinned when locking out.

I have been checking the "so you think you can..." videos lately, has been very helpful.
