Depending on what kind of weights and lifts you are looking for, you can find things to use around the house. The gallon milk jugs filled with sand are about 14 pounds. You can add water on top of the sand and maybe add a few other pounds to that. The handles make some motions a little awkward but they can be used in a…

I'm confused. Are you refering to a pause during a set or between the sets? During a set, the only pause you should have would be to swap weights if you are struggling to much to finish a proper rep. Between sets, i found i get best results at 30-90 seconds.

Mass is the measurement of the amount of matter someting contains. WEIGHT on the other hand is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. That is why on the moon, your MASS stays the same, but your WEIGHT drops. There is less gravity. Stop trying to confuse people and learn basic physics.

I use the playground at a local elementry school for the monkey bars. I have to hold my legs up so my feet don't the ground but hey, I get an extra ab and leg workout from that on top of everything.

Right now I am focusing more on my upper body strength than my cardio. I have talked to friends who have done multiple of these and they all tell me that the challenges are harder than the running is. I have till October so come July, cardio will go into full swing for me.

"Cowards never start, the weak never finish, winners never quit."

I tend to workout to a lot of the same with the addition of: Five Finger Death Punch Bullet for my Valentine Disturbed. Rise Against Breaking Benjamin Blackviel Brides Alestorm (Pirate Heavy Metal. It makes me smile) Flogging Molly Dropkick Murphys.

While never attending a "box" to crossfit myself, i do have crossfit trainer friends and they will put me through workouts now and again. Talk about tough, not just physically, but mentally as well. I love the feeling but they never try to push me past my limits only to that limit. As for the constant talk about how…

I use a pen and paper at the gym and then put everything in fitocracy and JEFit at home on my tablet.

Honestly, the cold water stuff doesn't scare me that much. I surf down here in the winter months so the cold water is fine. Its just the thought of not finishing or being to weak physically to do the obstacles.

Mine's in October and I am already starting to get nervous about it.

Even as a huge footballer, I have zero care who wins so long as the match is a good match.

Ha i like it Jenni Bear, that might be a good way to go about it. Tell him about it but yet tell him you want to be respectful of his thought behind it and you are willing to find a way to cover it for the jack and jill if he would like you to. Lets you get it out that you have it and are proud of it and can keeps the…

Nice, but yeah, she is just kinda all out there. Not much you can do about it truth be told. unless its a super formal jack and jill and stockings can be worn, its just gonna kinda be out there. I stick to my thought of tell him before hand so it has less potential of ruining the party for everyone.

While it is true that this is a growing market, I would rather keep mine even if I get to a point where I don't like it cause of what it reminds me of from my youth. Granted I am not that old and I have only had mine for about 7 years, I wouldn't change my choice one bit from then to now.

That I can understand as well. That is just something that you are going to have to face one way or another. Luckily for me, my art is just knotwork done on my leg. I would still go with telling him before hand. I have to imagine that unless the piece is of substantial size, the topless mermaid shouldn't be too noticiable…

My Mom freaked when I told her about mine but we were going on a family vacation and it was either tell her or let her find out on vacation. Now she just makes underhanded comments about it all the time. I would definitely recomend saying something before hand.

MMMM Sauage gravy and biscuits. I know what the misses is making for breakfast tomorrow. Hello fat thighs.

I agree. I'm from Houston so total city but a lot of my family is from back water Louisianna or BFE west texas, so I'm used to living close to the land for stints at a time and man does that make your feel good.

You must have been close to Gulf Coast for that diet. That sounds like what I grew up on. Making my mouth water.

I disagree. While not a broke college kid anymore, Ramen noodles are still a staple in my diet.

Growing up in Texas and being to a few European countries on vacation to watch/play football (soccer for you other americans) my own version of American food is still going to be BBQ and home style Hamburgers. I have an Uncle who currently lives in Thialand and says while you can get BBQ over there, it comes nothing close…

^ This. Thanks for all the fish.

After having this problem myself and seeing tons of other posts to it most people seem to agree to just not track their sugars. I stopped doin it cause my breakfast is super high in sugar from all the fruits.

Man, you guys are fancy. I use an old tube sock that i cut the bottom off of. Just roll it up my arm, tuck the ipod underneath and roll the bottom under the ipod. works like a charm and only cost a dollar

I used to have severe shin splits so I understand your plight. I eventually bought the bullet and went out and got some higher quality running shoes by Saucony and those helped a lot. There are also a couple of stretches you can do that will help with the muscle. Usually between the combination of the shoes and the…

My rest days are days where I just don't do my lifting. I might do some moderate to intense cardio workouts or maybe go play some vollyball or soccer but I avoid the weights like the plague.

Cool. This makes trying to plan my meals for the day much easier. Thanks for all the advice guys.

I eat meat cause it tastes good. I have relatives who are vegitarian not by choice and they are perfectly healthy so I know it can be done. Plus, I enjoy the satisfaction of going out, killing a deer, and eating it more than I do from eating produce I get from my garden.
