Thank you to you and your coach! I need a coach locally, that would be awesome.

Ladies, keep (or start) lifting heavy. You'll be sexier and stronger.

I was vegetarian for 10 years.

I had a period about 10 years ago where I was the fittest I had been in my life until then. I was very active in martial arts and yoga, and some weight training. I was certainly my leanest then. Grad school pretty much wrecked that for me and now I am fit again, this time a much stronger (SL 5x5) but not quite as lean fit.…

As a NSV I purchased none.

Perhaps you can post a link to them so we can better understand the situation?

I drink red wine.

You can set up your 5/3/1 here easily: http://www.strstd.com/

I cannot recommend "starting strength" barbell program enough.

Awesome. You rock Primal Poster Girl!

Just in time for Steak and BJ Day. Thank you!

In Ray Kurzweil's and Terry Grossman's book on longevity they devote a chapter to alkalinity and its health benefits. They do mention that the body already regulated the blood ph tightly, but that was not their point. I think the book was called "Fantastic Voyage". Sorry I am fuzzy on the details.

While I agree with the spirit of what you are saying, most people here would be considered "novice" in a strength program. I still qualify as a novice even after some time in lifting. I eat at deficit, I am losing bf% and scale weight. Will that last forever? No. But it has lasted a while and would apply to most people on…

Odd. I've not read the book, but picked up Primal lifestyle from the blog pretty easily. Now I find it a great reference and inspiration...

A lot of folks just make their own in the food processor. The best almond butters have only one ingredient: raw almonds! :)

I <3 this thread.

Agreed. You are hung up on semantics.

for me, per meal!

Treat each other well! Cut your partner some slack when they don't - it happens to all of us sometimes. Talk openly. Do not have unrealistic expectations that all will be roses and easy for your entire marriage. You will disagree. You will probably fight. You will probably not like each other, sometimes perhaps for a few…

If you want results just do Stronglifts.com or Starting Strength http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-3rd-Mark-Rippetoe/dp/0982522738/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331237281&sr=8-1 Results oriented weight training from guys who know their *kitten*. Burn calories like crazy, burn off fat and build muscle. 2-3 days a week,…

Second That.

I agree with the other comments on this note. Don't let ego trump form. I also suggest that not only de-loading but also add chin-ups in once a week as an assistance exercise if you are not already. This will help get your bench going as well.

Primal and Starting Strength work great together!

I agree especially with these. I eat fairly low carb pretty much every day (<150g/day - I am 6'5" 221 lbs), but get 1 - 1.25 grams of protein per pound of LBM daily. I also take getting 8 hours of sleep per night seriously. This is when your muscle actually builds. do not skimp on sleep!
-
Great choice of programs. If you want to build strength, Starting Strength or Stronglifts are the best place to start.
-
Not with that attitude! ;)
-
yes.
