You need a deep conversation with your mom. I hope it goes well.

"Hey sweetie, you feelin' some magic in the air?" Significant other gives disapproving look. "Ok, well goodnight then. Love you snookie bottoms. Say can you hand me the lotion and some tissues?" Problem solved. Except for their crappy relationship.

Axe from Lone Survivor.

You might not, but the dude has a puppy crush on you. It may be hidden from you, but its probably there.

After reading all of this, I shall invent a new exercise combining a conventional deadlift with a back squat at the same time. It will be the greatest exercise on the history of forever and I will be hailed as the king of all fitness. I shall call it 'The Dead Squat'. Prepare to be amazed!!!!!!

Plan your meals ahead of time. Do the shopping and prep work as if it was a project with a time limit for each day/week.

No way in hell I want some hot girl spotting me squatting. Under a heavy load there's too much risk of a booster rocket firing as I start the lift off. Having to concentrate to keep the ol' sphincter throttled for fear of blasting an olfactory destroyer, I would probably end up dumping the bar on her.

I watched that entire video. To paraphrase Billy Madison, "what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this post is now dumber for having…

American Gods was great. Supposedly Starz has picked up the rights for a TV series. Finishing No Less Than Victory, 3rd WW2 novel by Jeff Shaara.

There's a good chance its his own insecurities about his weight gain that are being magnified by your weight loss. The male ego is a pain sometimes when the guy we used to be isn't who we are now. Then again, he could be a total jerk....

Been married for a while, huh?

Visit several local breweries, a trip to the range, and a rugby match where she can meet some young, oversexed gents so my wife doesn't shoot me.

I am the exact opposite of a cute adorable puppy. Also, I had to google 'catfish confessions'.

Carrot cake, any type of good cheese, ribeye or strip steak, bourbon all get a taste no matter what that number at the bottom of the log says.

Or a weak side wing. Seriously, 1600 cal on a solid training regime is going to leave you near net zero cal on those days, even if you're running short 7's practices.

You've stumbled on one of the basic streamlines of nutrition. The efficiency of food digestion and absorption, the caloric density of fat cells, thermogenesis, metobalic expenidture. etc. all make calorie counting a inexact activity. But while the numbers do vary, the philosophy is sound and you can attain your goals. Just…

Do leg humps count?

Ahh, Planet Fitness. You have tapped the vein of discontent that runs nearly universally throughout the MFP forums. I went with my wife regularly to PF for a year because she hated the power lifting gym I went to at that time. PF is fine for beginners who want to go through a range of machines to hit some muscle groups.…

Don't ever try to change yourself for someone else, including weight loss. Only make changes you want to fulfill your goals or make you a healthier person.

A simple answer without being able to observe your form is flexability. If you have regularly trained to a parallel or half squat position, the muscle and tendons have adapted to this range of motion and going to a full squat requires them to stretch further. Go light with the loads and see if the issue begins to correct…

I used to use belts for deadlifts and squats and stopped after an unrelated injury made me take some time off. I started back with the philosophy that if I couldn't lift a weight without a belt, strap or wrap then I didn't need to do it. That philosphy has slipped as I'm can't hold my current deadlift without wraps, and…

God, I do love a good troll thread...

Brother, you've never experienced ball sweat until wearing several yards of an 18 oz. twill worsted wool in 90+ degree heat. You'll leave a trail of sac sweat in your wake that people might use for a slip-n-slide. Just make sure to get a lighter weave and go toss a caber!

A few recent ones. I was planning for a big leg workout and hadn't eaten, so I wolfed down a banana and some yogurt on the way in the gym door. On my last set of squats, I puke on the second rep, but finish. My buddy says I got one more, so I try and have to dump the bar in the cage. Its redicously loud as it hits the…

A beating heart, but some dudes are OK with just a warm body.

Ok, I'm not a doctor, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn last night. My experience is limited to paying my orthopaedic surgeon enough to put a couple of kids through college. You could have anything from a minor sprain to a meniscus tear. Rest is your friend if you want it to heal and not get worse.

Its not much fun and can be quite expensive to do long term, but as someone with Ciliac, the other option is even less enjoyable.

Pork tenderloin. Trim all removable fat, cut into small cubes or strips, season with spanish (smoked) paprika. 3oz (85g) has 122 kcal, 3g fat & 22g protien. Also started making my own sausage with it. I buy it on sale in the vacuum pack and it freezes pretty well.
