I've been training for 38 years, 22 in the Air Force, and can say without a doubt, CSARdiver has probably forgotten more then I've learned about fitness. No other posts necessary...=)

You better be careful. You'll get bashed the same as the mom did, but those who bash you will be "justified???". It seems many people on this site think there aren't more healthy options. But what amazes me is that most people are on this site due to bad dietary habits learned from childhood. I agree that it isn't the…

Baked Butternut Squash with Olive Oil and Cinnamon. Mash and go.

In your original post you said " I don't know if everything on this list is true, but maybe it will help you". Now you are saying that "I don't know if everything on this list is true, but maybe it will help you." With the number of posts you already know, people don't like others posting facts that aren't facts.

Thank You!

What? Did you even read the Subject? When did the OP hate on anything?

VERY well said!!!

Part of the problem is the bad information that is being passed on. People take real offense to someone talking about something they know "nothing" about. There are absolute right and wrong ways to do things and some in between in losing weight. But too frequently, someone who has lost 12 lbs and thinks they are an expert…

***FOUL*** For attempting to highjack the thread and turn it into a private political discussion. There was already enough anger with adding more ignorance into the conversation. And I'm a Conservative Liberal so just don't...=)

This X 100!!!

The same can be said for every exercise program in existence. Mountain bikers die in crashes, gymnasts fall, even non-crossfit weight lifters injure themselves. If you have good trainers, a clean facility and you enjoy it, use common sense and have a blast. The primary programming in Crossfit calls for 5 days a week...2 on…

"Skillet" in New Bern, NC. They were great!

Like it or Not...This is the "Truth".

This!!! And be careful about letting your emotions get you involved in another relationship...it's the last thing you need right now. Remember, a guy who will kiss you while you are still married will kiss someone else while married to you. I don't envy you and wish you the best.

This says is all.

I do obstacle course races and I won't wear anything but my Merrells. I get better traction and feel of the terrain and they dry extremely fast. I do have to train in them a few weeks prior to adjust but it's worth it.

If you don't care, why did you share? And I "personally feel" you don't know what you are talking about. Do some research and you'll discover the truth. And if you weren't "bothered", why did you call it a rant?

I recommend ignoring all post saying you can replace squats...you can't. But, this response says it all. It appears to me that you are suffering from the same problem I suffer from...age. I recover much slower then I used to and had to change sets/reps for squat day. I'm still not a fan of doing legs but I know my overall…

This statement is from the site, because I'm no expert. "The performance standards are adult standards (>18 years old) for a single maximal repetition (1RM) based on competitive weightlifter and powerlifting classification systems in use from the 1950's to present." I figured it would give folks a basic knowledge of where…

A lot of people these days really needs to read the definition of a "friend". Friend: 1. a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard. 2. a person who gives assistance; patron; supporter. (THIS) 3. a person who is on good terms with another; a person who is not hostile. Friends don't keep…

This!

Gotcha. I don't believe in scare tactics either. I'll do a bit more research in the future.

Believe it or not, there are people who do eat that amount of sugar in a day. Not sugar packets but considering the amount of sugar, it might was well be. My problem is not disagreeing with an article, it's the way people do it. You can respond without being a jerk (Not meaning you specifically). There are many ways to be…

You might as well give up. People on this site put down anyone who isn't "Caloric Deficit Only". They complain that groups of people are elitist but show themselves to be elitists. The world is fatter now because of inactivity and calorie consumption...fact. Whether you eat wheat, sugar, cane sugar, Paleo, Atkins or Weight…

Oh, I do too. But, I'm just saying it doesn't mean these guys are all wrong. And to get where I am now, I had to change some bad eating habits. Did it years ago and without MFP. I refuse to cut out dairy!!!

You'll find that almost everyone on these boards are confused that these "recommendations", not rules, do work. Of course, you'll find a lot of experts here and what does Bob Harper know? He wasn't doing this, successfully, before The Biggest Loser? Just because you learn to lose weight from caloric deficit, doesn't mean…
