Thanks, one of the easier explanations I've seen of these terms.

Good stuff. Thanks for the posting.

Thanks for sharing your success, congratulations to you on the work you put in! You've done a great thing for your kids. Good luck to you in your upcoming races!

The oven "fried" pickles are great to fill my craving for fried foods. I've made them several times and they are great!

I have my eye on the FT4 as well. I'd like to hear more pros and cons of any monitors out there.

There has to be a video or two on Youtube of proper squat techniques and then head over to the squat racks at the gym and just try a few with the bar…

One picture is all it took for me. I saw how far my gut stuck out and decided that I needed to change how I looked.

@Christina...I'm like a mixed bag, I'll listen to whatever

Feel free to add me, we can all use some more support.

Agreed, Eye of the Tiger will forever be on my gym playlist.
