As much as I appreciate all things Lovecraftian, I'm going to have to go with no.

Why would you want to know?

I'm really not a fan of most men's colognes. Especially when they douse themselves in it. And ESPECIALLY NOT patchouli. Smells like dirty unwashed hippy to me.

<Cartman voice> I wear what I want! </Cartman voice>

Everybody cut loose! Footloose!

Because I'm bored. Christian Death- Romeo's Distress Chameleons UK- In Shreds Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds- Curse of Millhaven (this is an excellent lifting song) Siouxsie and the Banshees- Metal Postcard Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Maps Dead Kennedy's- Kalifornia Bauhaus- Stigmata Martyr Joy Division- Shadowplay (or really ANYTHING…

I would if I still went there. But I don't cause it's not for me. It's great for those who only want machines though.

I once set off the lunk alarm when I dropped my cell phone while on the treadmill.

I too am a fan of cheese.

As far as I know, you can only change your name once. Otherwise you'd need to make a new account. So for me, once.

This thread is infinitely better than I expected.

I also misread the thread title as Chloroform. ETA: HOLY! How many times has this thread been resurrected?

Is this why my cat wants to lay on my phone?

I'll drink it occasionally, but I can do without it. It's certainly not my favorite thing.

You're absolutely right. I will force myself to work out when extremely tired after a busy 12 hour overnight shift (I joke that my superpower is that I'm supertired) and will go to the gym if sniffly, sore throat, etc (I'm always sure to disinfect what I touch though). I was more referring to the kind of head cold/flu…

So glad I'm finally on a computer and got to see this. You are so awesome Davena. I'm glad to know you. So proud of you.

I tend to wallow in self pity and baby myself when sick. Maybe that's just me though.

Well this was an amusing read.

Yes. I've done NROLFW, Stronglifts, and now Wendler's 5/3/1 and have never had a spotter. I prefer to work out alone. However, I've always used a squat rack or power cage for squats. In place of barbell squats which you need a rack for, you can do goblet squats (this requires kettlebells or dumbbells). There's also a ton…

Pretty!

The magic low carb fairy burns your fat away in her cauldron:

Oh who cares. Not everyone celebrates the same things for the same reasons.

Incorrect. That one ingredient is a slice of tiramisu.

Interesting choice of necrothreads. And the answer to the question= No. Unless you are very large it is extremely unlikely to burn 500 calories doing 20 minutes of weightlifting. Hell, I don't even burn 500 calories doing 60 minutes of intense cardio.

Unfortunately you cannot target an area for fat loss and there is no specific exercise or exercise program that will cause you to lose fat in one specific area. Fat comes off unpredictably from different areas as you lose weight. That being said, strength training (lifting weights) helps. If we could spot reduce though, my…

^^^This!

Because that's where the mirror is?

As someone who completed New Rules of Lifting for Women, I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. It does not give enough information or instruction on form and has you doing a ton of obscure unnecessary lifts. I strongly recommend reading Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe, it will tell you everything you've ever wanted to…

4' 10 1/2" ~130 lb in this picture, size 4.

When people misuse the word disproportionately.
