Not heard, but saw: The other day my girl saw a ~70 year old man with a Harbinger weight belt (the kind with the chain for dips) wrapped around his head like a headband with a 10 lb plate at the end of the chain. He was bending forward at the waist and then popping back up with the weight dangling down between his legs.

Yo, I've seen Over The Top several times and I think that qualifies me to take on a dude who is clearly in much better shape than I am.

Oh man. As a child of the 80's, that was horrible in the best way.

Just think about how many pairs of unwashed hands have been on those goodies...How many people do you know that wash their hands every time they use the work restroom. What about that creepy guy in accounting who always has a runny nose. He had a brownie today. It's easier to just avoid the snacks. We have muffins and…

Mitymax's numbers are good. I'd use that and adjust as weight comes off.

In the middle of the summer I rock a tank top and short shorts. Come at me, bro.

Exactly 31.02846 calories. The hell is wrong with you?

Of course.

Sick delts bruh.

I went raw vegan about two years ago and lost 20lbs in a month and most of my self-respect. I don't think that sort of diet is sustainable long term. For a few months, sure, even a year maybe, but I have never met a raw vegan who didn't operate on some strange space-cadet level mentally due to b12 deficiencies.

I think I know the answer to this question, but are you weighing and measuring your food every day?

Best advice: Check your ego at the door. Lifting with your ego only gets you injured. Worst advice: If you exercise enough it doesn't matter what you eat. (Said by a Kenesiology student friend of mine who does a generic version of crossfit.)

Go see your doctor. Self-diagnosing is silly.

The Texas Method and Advanced Texas Method have a neat model that incorporates big three along with Oly style stuff. They're mainly Rippetoe's programming. http://www.t-nation.com/training/texas-method I've also heard good things about Greyskull LP You may want to also check out Glenn Pendlay's approach to programming.…

So, this is what's called the Competency Matrix. It's a good start on how human beings establish habits and behaviors. Take driving for instance. When you first start, you think about all the things you have to do: Check your mirrors, keep the wheel straight, keep your speed up (or in my case, down), use your turn signals,…

My girlfriend does this as well. She loves "What Not to Wear" and stuff like that. She puts it on her ipad or her phone and does a 15 degree uphill walk at a 3.5mph pace for 1/2 hour - 45 minutes. She's lost almost 70lbs this way. It's a good technique.

Yo, you decide what your kids eat. That's the end of that. If they're gonna argue then you need to put your foot down. It is incredibly hard to focus on health and wellness when you have a house full of processed kiddy junk food. Teaching them good eating habits early will make their lives better. As for the grocery store,…

Space your meals out a bit more and have more nutrient-dense foods during the earlier part of the day. (Vegetables and fruits, protein and fats)

You look like a friendly dude.

IIFYM works, but you have to treat is as a guideline. The important parts are the amounts of fiber, macronutrients and micronutrients. You will not get fit eating only pop-tarts or bacon. Let me repeat that: YOU WILL NOT GET FIT EATING ONLY JUNK. Now, before the barricades come down and people deride me and start linking…

In looking at your diary you could use more protein and fat in your diet. I'd start there.

When people ask me what I eat, I always tell them I eat whatever I want. It's the truth. It's all about quantity versus specific food type. Find something with a good macro profile and stick with it and you'll be just fine. Haagen Daaz is okay! Triple meat burgers are okay! As long as you aren't going way over calories…

Easiest thing I have found is to just eat what's available and try and think about the macronutrients. I make sure that my protein intake is about equal to my carbohydrate intake. Portion style if I don't have access to a food scale. Get some meat about the size of a deck of cards, and some rice or whatnot about the size…
