to add a little more rain, there's an equivalent tendency to overstate the intensity and therefore burn of exercise, so lots of time when you hear those special snowflakes whining about "ooh. I kill myself in the gym and starve myself and gain weight..." or similar crap, this Caloric bomb (predominately) and over-rated…

^^ yay! :)

sheesh. doctors. OP shouldn't ask. quit playing doctor and send the OP to the MD. you don't know.

yeah - cool stuff - ours are 35 lbs at our xfit - thinner. good for that and carnie folk - SMALL HANDS

don't give advice without being a physician. it is trite advice. for someone who's sick "shake it off" style of advice may not be helpful. Play doctor when it's not someone's life. and you should know better: since I'm on my head, I read the counseling advice first. Approved and then puked at the rest. But I'm sure Dr Oz…

love it! good calls here

how about making a specific MD appointment with the appropriate specialist to get the answer instead of novice, "I watch dr oz and house, so I'm a doctor and internet diagnose myself all the time" advice? some of these responses are unreal *kitten*... mein gott. this is curl-in-the-squat-rack stuff, really. make an MD…

a little. there were also unspoken references to witchcraft and candlewax on the nipples. not just the "chips, dips, chains, whips" (movie credit)

a couple of things - talk with your MD and team about your goals - they will help you get through this. but also be careful with managing the pred, etc - they will also help you with activities during the taper. it's tough being on meds that hinder fitness and weight loss (I'm in a similar situation). it's triple tricky,…

how are your knees behaving (drooping inwards or anything?) while rising? am also curious - is there some targeted vastus medalias work that could support the knee better to prevent the discomfort... ORTHOs - weigh in!!!

DBs are tough cuz progression is tough. T-nation may have some good dumbell programs... While not ideal for strength, maybe progressive volume? ach. that's a good question and I'm interested in the replies

nice! totally forgot about exrx. (and I share your thoughts on figuring out the differences). and yeah- there's a CF in Seattle that has some good charts, but I can't find those either on the fly :(. but I think you're right about Rip being more PW geared. cheers

it's nice to be naughty... "slipping" can be pre-programmed or just a "whoops" moment. but absolutely - and totally agree that nobody has ever believed otherwise - it's a part of life. enjoy, know what you need to do, gather the support needed (thinking of your other thread), and you can do it.

YAY!!!!!!!! love the plotting etc. and great message!!!! YAY!!! Stata rules :) (although I don't recognize the graphs as Stata graphs... hrumph)

^^ yeah. if it is actual (clinical / diagnosed by an MD) depression then snowflake's trite advice is NOT the first step. MDD is serious business and professional help would be more appropriate than tyro comments on a web board. good luck!!!! and good health!

Wheel - i think from Crossfit Football and from elsewhere across the crossfit intertubes. redf's strength level scales would also work.

as a potential measuring stick, check out how crossfit scales 225(m). You'll see any where from 135-165, depending on movement.

+1 rack and bumper plates.

that's calories and not kilocalories as VK said. 58.5 calories / 1000 = "Calories" or kcal or dietary calories (same reason that drinking a cup of ice-cold water doesn't do anything to make you lose weight -- you'd have to go by degree centigrade per liter)

I apologize in advance for what I"m going to say: SHE CAN STUFF IT UP HER ARSCH. THIS IS THE HALLMARK OF A TERRIBLE PERSON. WTF. A MOM SAYING CRAP LIKE THAT TO HER KID????????? WTF... BAD PERSON. BAD. this is more than rolled up newspaper bad. ARGH ("censored" beeps going off) If you'd like to - go for it. Her sentiment…

fun stuff. handstands on the beach. a fave. (as profile pic demonstrates) against the wall is good training. pike position pushups help with shoulder stability. dunno if a yoga person would be the right one - more of a gymnastics type. if that's also a yoga type, fine. cartwheels, etc are also lots of fun, too.

lolz. something like a Jefferson deadlift or something like that. Not a hack... not a suitcase... or it was something that was invented by the Sopranos. ha ha.

For those old enough and with good enough taste in the Funnies, remember one of Opus's diets, "Figs, Frogs Legs, and Flatulence"... oh... and piling it on a bit: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-detox-scam-how-to-spot-it-and-how-to-avoid-it/

I say, meh. I like how there's a scaled version for competitions (Garage Games/ Galt Games), cuz "mission creep" makes some of the WoDs insane. Most gyms track their own scaled versions. I really think it's lame when people "want to compete on the whiteboard" (for the masses, not the actual regional / nationals levels).…

totally. xfit. and swim training for the 2016 Transplant Games. cheerio, gang!

yoga is awesome. sure it's "stretching", but flexibility is an important of any wellness plan. while the "caloric expenditure" may not be there, it's hugely important to work on flexibility. and it's active, it's social, it requires some level of commitment to it. Has many of the elements, if not all, of a programmed…

awesome! seeing that one pic that looked almost horizontal / sideways, that must have been one helluva hill! :)

those are dangerous. fortunately, I leave them for the T2D coworker with no sense of self control. I use that person as a "watch out" example.

morning workouts are great (I do my CV and BW work in the mornings). allows for doubles / weights in the evening. seriously - walk / jog - just try something like that. doesn't have to be uber strenuous, but give it a try. yes, you have to go to bed early, but with good winding down time (others made awesome suggestions),…

you can add it to your database, can't you?
