  • As everyone has already said "heavy" is relative. I find a good way to measure is % of your 1RM of each lift: e.g. 5x5 at 75% is "heavy"; 5x3 and 85-90% is also friggin' heavy. current stats @ 130# BW: BP - 115# OHP - 95# DL - 275# Squat - 185#

  • Berries :( I love blackberries and blueberries but they are so expensive. Nuts, tropical fruits, fish/seafood in general, the list goes on and on. I also live way north, so everything is shipped up here by trucks and has a bunch of added costs. BLARGH

  • I find paleo cooking is generally just spices and meat and finding (often vegetable) substitutions for wheat products: zuchinni noodles or spaghetti squash for spaghetti; eggplant for lasagna noodles, cauliflower for rice and for pizza base, etc. etc. Here's another easy, pretty much fool proof one. Smoky Bacon-Wrapped…
