I just started using a fitbit flex and I'm glad I stumbled across this group. I've read through this discussion and I'm pleased to see I've been using it correctly. But now I also understand it a little better. Thanks heybales! Can you clarify something for me though? When I first synced MFP to fitbit it told me to still…

This is monstrous. :drinker: I finally noticed the smiley button.:laugh:

Revised based on what qualifies for squat. Bench - 280 Deadlift - 410 Squat - 320 ...using calculator... phew, just made it. Is there a pin or something?

How deep does a squat need to be to count? I should probably revise my lift stats. My squat is a quite a bit less going @ss to the grass.

I've never been to a meet and I don't think I've ever attempted all 3 big lifts for max on the same day, but at 6' and 211lbs my current PRs are: Bench - 280 Deadlift - 410 Squat - 450 Maybe that don't count as they're attempted on completely different days. I've done as much as 305 on bench but having trouble getting back…

I think sprints would be great for you. I don't know what netball is, but if it's periods of flat out followed by not so flat out, it's probably similar to ball hockey. So try running sprints. I did a program called Body of Fire about 6 months ago that called for doing sprints 2 days a week at the end of a bodyweight…

I usually listen to whatever is on the cr@ppy radio at my gym, but I have found Iron Man to be useful for heavier lifts while I'm home :)

This website is full of gluten free recipes. I honestly haven't tried many, but the ones my wife and I have tried have been good. Lots of desserts and meal ideas on here. http://ohsheglows.com/

I think what SezxyStef meant is that under cardio exercise there are options for strength training. I use it all the time. You can also find circuit training if you're into giant sets or supersets, etc... I find that selecting strength training seems unrealistically low for what I put myself through when lifting, but…

When I say burn fat, I mean lose fat. The muscles use glycogen first regardless what you do (cardio or weights). Fat loss comes from simple math, burning more calories than you take in (did I mention I'm captain obvious?) When you do cardio you have to deplete your glycogen stores prior to drawing on fat stores for energy.…

I'm no doctor, but what I've learned from personal trainers and general research along the way is that any kind of work you do (cardio or weights) your muscles use glycogen as the source of energy. When you do weight lifting first, you expend that energy source and your body must use something else to create energy for…
