wtf? TS (or OP) - where the heck are you? and this was a MD- medical doctor - not some other new agey, untrained monkey? 1) find a new doctor 2) wash, rince, repeat. without knowing your med history, advice could be harmful. Start with an appropriate health care professional and go from there. this isn't a time to stop…

why is the first point an advantage for the otherwise healthy person? what other ways of retaining muscle mass during fat loss? maybe for a newbie with newbie gains, but what? and lol at the idea of program zealotry. often times "I'm looking for an alternative when there are plenty of easy to follow programs out there" =…

??? if "medically" is the case - do you mean that you and your PCP evaluated your goals and overall health risks and went from there? but what do you mean about the statistic? you're you. if you choose to think of yourself as that, then voila, but otherwise, ??? reset - do your best 80s montage scene - watch those drops of…

I think Mr Knight is guessing what the underlying reality is... and lol.

hey Timothy - legit question - this is actually one of the "work conversations" of the morning, and medscape, science based medicine, etc aren't cooperating. which publications / sources for med profs who disagree - there's a bet (which they've just changed) now! (morning excitement!)

(love it! glad the coffee was empty at the time - else there'd be a monitor-cleaning bill) woah. careful there Terra_: Mr M27 has Gil Grissom on the case and is now going to put in a guest appearance on "CSI: Special Diet Victim". lolz. bit who cares if you're flagged cuz of someone's opinion. ooooh. ohnoez!

and herr löffel, when they do fail, they're just walking along with a longtimeterp...

feed a cold, starve a fever?

hey kats - there's a crossfit group! they have suggestions and help for this. my rule of thumb is figure out how long the metcon part is and enter that as circuit training. use the other parts as "light calisthenics". I try to understate the amount expended. YMMV. I have not a clue how to log weights, so I just don't log…

^^ tis to a degree. lots of gyms have a strength component where you're basically doing a 5/3/1 program for the big three lifts, too. but yeah - that's the idea. circuits / barbell complexes. it's fun. but you really do have to be careful not to put your self on a one-way trip to the ORTHO

where?

agreed, guitar - that pretty much goes for anything in the world of fitness. you see the bambi kneed squatter following everything else in the diagrams perfectly, etc. that is a bummer of a situation. the usual recommendation is to look around. there are good, white-light lifting vids for the OLY lifts... my thing that I…

rosstraining.com has really good bw exercise sets too

^^ Guitar -- check out when the Science based medicine blog talks about her. some of the commentary there, which seems staged at times, was hilarious!

never mind that. what we have is a yoga-hating (ex?) vegetarian. ^^herr - the tolerance is there for us to embrace. like a good bernaise sauce on the muscle of some mammal that is no more

squash the spiders!!!!!! accepted and completed. we need to break this out next halloween.

although whomping the holy hell out of the twaddlenocks who are stressing you (low impact for you, at least), apparently HR frowns on that behavior. punching bag is satisfying... my buddy breaks out 10 burpees or so. (not exactly low impact). I do the internal stairs in our building - not much impact if you're otherwise…

as someone who's offensive, I find that to be a challenge! >:)

^^ bwahahahahahaha! and love the name, lift! "a lot" as one word "you're" vs "your" are others :)

Hi mhollen again! ^^ steve nailed it. you can work on and articulate (and adjust) your goals with the coaches. Different people will have different goals, so their great results may differ from yours. wrt weight loss, mobility improvement, strength and conditioning improvement: yes. There are five or six at our gym that…

hahahahahaha! YES!!!! those threads! and really good call about the changes and good point for us newer folks! merci! :)

^ pa-jorg (nice rollins reference, btw) nailed it: "don't be embarrassed at all" easier said than done of course. but it's so awesome you're doing this. there are so many positives going on here that you're starting and doing it. It's a great shot of awesome with a side of "this is so cool". (I'm not a runner and don't any…

totally. Queen - I'd be more cautious with the "hey, this has worked well for me and you can try it" - besides the border of the pragmatic fallacy, let's say the advice is expensive (a dr oz supplement), unproven, etc. It's the same with injuries - we get armchair orthopedists dispensing advice. Saying "this worked for me"…

^^ that's cool as long as they realize that it's not science based, cannot be projected onto others, and it's just a mental boost that helps them kick *kitten* (YAY!), that's one thing. falling onto whatever woo bandwagen thereafter, on the other hand... and if it isn't based on anything other than their way of kick…

stickied. thank you. ^^ re: someone's "take" - sometimes you get the articles thrown down that are older / surpassed / overly interpreted. when you see that with some dogmatic statements, my strategy is a "cool, thanks" or something and moving on. despite science, critical thinking, some people will just wanna believe…

there's a forum! and so awesome! mhollen - of course you're ready. scaling, technique, going for your progress. remember not to "compete" against anybody but yourself. "finishing last" is for those who don't start. it's "finishing". scale scale scale. technique technique technique. and fun fun fun!!! yay!

separating yourself from them? not seeing them? not participating in their activities where they "force" you to participate? all of those sayings are fine and good, but how can one accomplish that? what about concrete advice? "get the heck away from them. you don't deserve to be treated like that. you shouldn't sacrifice…
