if you're going to estimate, err on the conservative side - that way, you're doing awesome with the pushups / other BW exercises and really doing a great job but not overestimating (and risk disappointment). but love it - what are your favorite push up variations (feet elevated, diamond, clapping, feet elevated / hands on…

ugh. oh mah gawd. you are are, like, just too mean. WILL YOU STOP JUDGING ME!!!!! YOU ARE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!!!!!

the board at mainsite has BW exercises (e.g., Cindy) and other routines. Ross training dot com has great gymless workouts that are redolent of some crossfit programming (or I should say vice versa). then there's the 100 pushups, situps, air squats, lunges, burpees routine... running for 20-25 minutes :) the trainer should…

welcome back! here's a great place to help make that happen! what are your goals for the next week / next period of time? Let us know and listen to the cheers as you check them off! Miss one, no problem. We'll cheer even louder! If you're at a gym, find one or two things that look comical / strange / funny (sort of a…

ugh. such a bummer you're having that experience. Please speak up to the management -- the gym should be the new version of "Cheers" where it's positive and fun. You're creating magic there. And the trainers of all people should be first on line to cheer you on (or whatever behavior from them you'd prefer, such as…

prediction: AWESOME!!!

Smolov challenge?

segas -- no. i think you're being obtuse and patronizing. it is not Joe's responsibility to make Bill feel welcome when Joe is doing heavy squats. He stays away from Bill and doesn't hinder Bill. If Bill feels intimitaded by Joe's weight lifting, that's on Bill, not Joe. I think your attitude gives us the Lunk Alarm, etc.

it's that some people pretend they will be noticed and laughed at as a convenient, made-up deterrent to trying something new. so in that respect, it's them pretending that's it's gym like grade school when we were five.

burpees are pretty good..... :)

sure, but pretending that everybody is pointing and laughing seems to be a way of not handling the problem and is blaming ghosts and devoiding oneself of the responsibility of learning / trying / starting.

placebo effect of stuff like this is huge. but no. no benes from organic apart from conscience.

I mean I guess since warfarin is, like, new, and, like, there's no experience with it, man. we sure do need a tracker, since, like, this is, like soooo new. I kid, but seriously -- "it sure would save lives" is some nice hyperbole. VKAs are a pain in the tookas to be sure, but your MD office gave you all the resources you…

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: CONSEQUENCE OF "EVERYBODY GETS A TROPHY" CULTURE!!!! you do realize that college is a place to push yourself out of your comfort zone and to turn "inabilities" into "abilities"? but striving to reach mediocrity is a lofty goal if you don't ever wanna "feel terrible about inabilities". claiming you…

so glad it's working!!!! it's unbelievable, isn't it??? yay!

Liver recipient from autoimmune hep, Feb 2011 here. (was category 1A, so didn't have a waiting list ordeal - five weeks from sick to TX, one of which was in a coma) CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! YAY!!!!! SO PSYCHED HE GOT ONE!!! (ad shfoster -- awesome! way to go! dude, that's amazing!!!!!)

THREAD NECRO!!!!! Liver TX here -- autoimmune hep. Feb 2011. While this thread was started, I was just getting diagnosed with post transplant lymphoma. The last post was when treatment and was in a period of cyclical neutropenia... ugh. *shudder* the anti reject meds, etc do make it harder to lose weight (weight gain is a…

squats. just cuz :)

E(HIIT, LISS, 5x5) + D(FORK PUT DOWNS) = success. you need both parts of the left-hand side of the equation.

^+1 nope.

do you even lift, bro?

xxx = flu? haha. fat and gross is contagious and transfers via heat.

breeding ground for all sorts of nasties?

burpees.

^^ this. this is the ultimate marathon. kick butt and do great!

goblet squats. box squats. keep going, be safe, and continue the awesome. The god SQÜATR is pleased with the efforts! Starting Strength / Stronglifts / T-nation -- places like that have great advice, including conditioning of the shoulders for the bar, etc.

you can certainly get support - but please examine your initial statement, " I do not have any medical conditions ( hypertension or diabetes). [...]. I feel they are saying that people who are overweight are unhealthy."" That is most certainly not what they're saying. At higher risk for certain conditions, absolutely.…

the web site "people of walmart" would suggest this is a gaffe based on "truth in advertising"...
