Great summary. I now have 3 years to live...great, happy friday to me.

The flags shall fly with this one. Great thread. Great info.

Chicken Tacos, add grilled onions and pico de gallo if you like. Limit the chips and salsa. Problemo El solved.

LOL, Chili's? Terrible example. Their calorie counts are definitely large and in charge, however, that does not make the food un-healthy. When I go to a sit down restaurant I try to stick with either fish or chicken, try to have veggie sides or a sweet potato. I also do not order appetizers, if someone else does I try to…

...Tony Danza.

No jumping. So that would be used as a training mechanism for elbow speed? That makes sense. Later on I would reintroduce the jump?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G2pd_58D-w&feature=youtu.be Peep please. I love the slow motion setting on youtube, I just noticed it a couple of days ago lol, very helpful.

Wonder where OP is at and how things are working out now?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkT1QLXFAWM&feature=youtu.be So I lost the weight and just practiced with an empty bar. So the concept is...Create momentum by driving off the floor with the legs then shrug the weight (no arm flex), while the weight is "flying up" from the momentum, drop under the bar similar to a front…

Haha! Thanks for the honesty. I've been watching videos trying to figure out where to start making them less terrible. It doesn't seem that many people do PC's, at least on here anyways. I wonder if that's necessarily a sign?

Thanks for the response. I will work on the squat issue. DL - sometimes I will scrape my knees but not nearly as often as I used to. Power cleans are uncharted territory for me. When I watched the video myself I knew it was incorrect right away, too much arm bend, pull timing off. Watching Cal Strength videos made me want…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp2sMQXgyH0&feature=youtu.be One more for the road, I'd like to think my DL is the most technically sound of my lifts. Please tell me if I am wrong and what to tweak. Thanks folks!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8cbuo--2xE&feature=youtu.be * I particularly want to get feedback on these power cleans. I have not done them since HS and I sucked terribly at them then. I know they can't be correct, but how bad are they? Thanks.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=CqWOtVPNYy0&feature=youtu.be It's been a while, please critique squat. Thanks.

During the peak of my weight loss I was highly motivated by my SO who would frequently complain about my loss, saying I was sick looking, or acting like a woman because men shouldn't diet, or calling me gay for being concerned about my obesity. Now she has come to terms with it and I don't quite feel as motivated.

Can someone tell me how I can find this thread again later, now that I've replied. Also how can I find the other thread that was similar to this one earlier (mentioned in the second post) Thanks. Also, If anyone has seen any good threads today please let me know, just hand write the URL of the good threads and mail them to…

bump, for forthcoming responses. ETA: I wouldn't mind a woman offering a spot, however I generally do not work with more than I know I can. When I do go for say a 1RM I will plan accordingly and have a spot lined up.

At work bored. Would rather be home watching BBT reruns. "I don't ever wanna feel, like I did that day" Let me be real, I'm really only in for Moar hula hoop action!

Congrats on the weight loss, I reset my ticker as well as to quit living on my past successes. I was called out the other day by someone for only losing 2 lbs. and giving out advice/my opinion. lol.

Heeyyyy, you beat me to it! I swear, my thoughts exactly haha.

^^It has been entertaining. I gotta give it that. Props OP!

In.. Since I did read the OP plus the 6 pages (currently) to follow. What am I doing with my life?

Well ya'll, I bought a tractor last weekend. True story.

No chocolate sauce :( I would get a spoonful of ice cream and then a spoonful of brownie, and repeat until my wife yelled that I better not be eating all the brownies...oops.

I mowed the lawn Saturday, logged it, ate back some (if not all) of the calories in brownies, ice cream, and milk. You jelly? You affected?

Lost 63 lbs. Gained about 15 back, and was tired of living on past success. Reset my ticker, plan to lose 25 more for a grand total of 73 lbs. If it would restore any of my credibility in your eyes, I could reset my ticker to reflect my initial loss. Would you like for me to do that? ETA (that means edited to add, in this…

Nothing to see here just doing some test posting, maybe do a little farming later.

Crap. I can't find "mouse clicking" anywhere in the cardiovascular database. Maybe strength training?

^^My point.
