Anything with Soy in it. Thanks to my bros on MFP, I know better now.

Tell us about your workout that causes the knee issues.

double steak burrito, extra cheese, extra veggies. Great macros.

You don't need to overconsume water like so many would suggest. Try adding more fresh fruit to your diet.

They want you to eat back your exercise calories so you stay fatter longer and spend more time on the site. :tinfoilhat:

Keep in mind that speed comes from power... :) Do you think someone stronger or weaker can hit faster/harder?

Swap the extensions out for front squats if you want to hit the quads harder.

This is the warm up I use for every compound barbell lift: Reps x Weight 5 x 45 (empty bar) 5 x 45 5 x 45% 4 x 65% 3x 75% 2x 85% Work sets So if you were lifting 200lbs, it would look like this: 5 x 45 5 x 45 5 x 90 4 x 130 3 x 150 2 x 170 I do my warm up reps with no rest between sets (just however long it takes to load…

Keep in mind that most sites you'll find like that are total horse doodie. So I wouldn't put too much faith in them. That said, if something you consume bothers you, don't do it. ;)

No, it hasn't.

Dead animals. which, coincidentally, is the best source of protein.

The only thing left then is aspartame. I couldn't find any -credible- sources that link aspartame to hyperactivity or feelings of increased energy. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199402033300501

Diet coke has 45mg of caffeine. Regular coke has 34mg Caffeine free has 0mg, obvs. Pretty much all the same ingredients, but swap corn syrup for aspartame. You must have a reaction to aspartame.

No matter what you choose to do, reading Starting Strength can be really helpful.

I don't miss training days, unless an injury prevents them. In those cases, I work around the injury if possible.

Jim Wendler doesn't even have a thyroid.. He does just fine with his exercise plan.

good olympic barbell, plates, bumper plates.

How does the slide cycle?

Most sunglasses are made from a few bucks ofr material in the same factory. Oakley, rayban, gucci, lenscrafters... Get some decent polarized glasses that don't distort your vision. The ~$40 ones from Costco are just as good. fwiw, oakley polarized tend to delaminate after a few years. They do not cover this in warranty.

Read Starting Strength by mark rippetoe. Take his diet advice.

very popular in areas with cobblestone roads and lonely cyclists.

Just cleats when I did spin. The bikes there had lame cushy seats.

If you find you aren't losing weight, and it doesn't make sense per your journal, then worry about the calories.

600 sounds entirely unrealistic. Probably more like 300.

Before and after thigh measurement, including body weight pls. thx.

Resistance bands are good for physical therapy (rehab) and mobility work. calorie deficit is good for trimming tummy down.

too much for what?

if you want to grow muscle mass, forget about the steady state cardio. you need to gain weight, son.

Someone that doesn't know to not contact my wife

That's about what my power rack and used plates cost. (not including barbell.) I'd buy that again.
