You are amazinglysuperfantasticallysuperdeedupertyawesome! The doctors said where you were after 3 months was most likely were you were going to stay, but you've refused to give up! You've put one foot in front of the other, when it was hard, when it hurt, and even when you didn't want to, and you've consistently proved…

I know this kinda sounds ****ish, but the only real solution is, if you really don't want him to have them don't bake them. If your complaining about his lack of will power, then lead by example and use yours to not bake a dozen brownies.

38M 500 x 1 DL 465 x 1 SQ 360 x 1 BP Goals are to get a 550 Dead, 500 lbs squat, and a 400 lbs bench by the end of the year. 5 lbs increases a month put me at or over those numbers, so it should be doable! :-)

Good points. Especially the communication. They only one I'd dispute, and it's just how I lift, is the spotters ability to pull the full weight off your chest and set it back on the rack. 1- There aren't many people who are going to be able to do that when you get into heavier weights. 2 - As Winston Churchill said - Never…

I agree your examples suck. But . . . vegetarian bodybuilders and athletes exist. You can in fact add muscle mass eating only vegetables. You can get stronger and you can get bigger and you can get ripped. It is harder though. The amount of planning that goes into getting the right nutrients eating just vegetables is…

Apparently you did take your fiber into consideration so the real answer is math. 108*4 = 432 46*9 = 414 188*4 = 752 432+414+752 = 1598 Which means your 1 carb is 2 calories not 72. I think that's close enough to call it good.

Everybody always forgets about fiber. Fiber is a carb and counted as a carb, but it isn't digestible so when you multiply by 4 for you carbs you have to subtract the grams of fiber you've had.

God told us to eat meat so that we would eventually create horrible farms dedicated to the slaughter of innocent animals and inadvertently create greenhouse gas factories as well. This way when the solar minimum hits humanity will be saved by a blanket of methane. People that would look without horror and revulsion on the…

While an interesting theory, it will remain unconvincing to most simply because they won't accept that cows, gophers, ants, or snakes have the cognitive ability to apply logic to a situation and decided that 15 dead gophers is worth having 15 acres of food at the disposal of the rest of the family. You, as a human being,…

. . .

Your stated conclusion based on this study as the evidence of such is not valid. You say that there a many other studies that prove your point but list none. For the purpose of this argument (you did post in debatable debating after all) you have failed to prove this claim. Here is a link to a study that directly…

So we eat red meat. This meat is broken down into a bunch of protein strands. (The same protein strands that are in beans and rice, although in greater quantities in the red meat) Those strands are then eaten by bacteria in our gut and produce another compound called TMAO. This substance has been shown in studies on mice…

Knee injuries suck. You're knees are kind of important when trying to exercise your legs. You're doing about the only basic movements that you can right now. For a little bit of variety you can try throwing in some cable abductions, stability ball leg curls, wall squats (not sure if that's post knee operation approved or…

Yes! Quantum Leap! The whole reason I came into this thread was to make sure somebody had that on their list. 1- Quantum Leap 1a - Doctor Who 2 - X-files 3 - Walking Dead 4 - Big Bang Theory 5 - Voltron (Hey nobody said cartoons weren't allowed) ETA - I forgot about the Doctor!

Well . . . God knows the JC Penny girls were good to me as a teenager, but those showtime girls carried me through most of my 20s . . . I think the edge has to go to the late night ladies

I think there's a flaw in your original premise. You can't have 2 identical people, have one do cadio for 2 years and have one lift for 2 years, and at the end of the 2 year period, have them wind up in the exact same spot with the exact same bodies. The weight lifting will change your body just as much as the cardio will.…

You ever look at pictures of transformations that feature 18 year old males? There are a ton out there that go from underweighted skinny kids to hulks in just a few years. Quite a significant portion of the reason is that as an 18 year old male your body is making it's own perfect blend hormones that help. And the other…

I've run 5/3/1 for nearly 2 years. I don't remember the last time I tested my 1RM. My rule of thumb is - If i can crank out the 1 on 5/3/1 week I add 5 lbs to my max and start over. If I can crank out 2 or 3 reps I add 10 lbs to my max and start over. I haven't been able to crank out more than one rep on 1 week in a long…

Well . . . how much better are your shoulders? If they're even a little bit questionable I'd bump it to 205; if they're 100% then you got 225 up, use 225. If 165 is you're 1 weight then you're current max is 195? Bumping it to 205 isn't that huge a leap, you're only going 5 more lbs than you would anyway. But it is less…

I set up at the top of the lift, and have nothing further to contribute. Thanks for listening.

I make no form comments. :-/ All mine involve a good bit of cursing the nicest being "you got this *kitten*!"

Shhhhhh! Stop poking holes in perfectly good diatribe with your mathmatical skepticism! Just because someone doesn't understand arithmetic doesn't mean they don't understand complex metabolic processes involving hundreds of variables.

No, the reason most people don't experience extreme hunger on this diet is because the shot they give is loaded with long last appetite suppressants.

^^ This. Max heart rates vary by a HUGE margin.

Going from 20 to 30 lbs is a 50% jump. That's massive! You can help yourself out a couple of different ways. You can buy 2 - 2.5 pounds of chain to wrap around the 20 lbs bar. You can buy weighted gloves and do the same. You can even experiment with 1 lb chains so you can go up in smaller increments. Or you can add…

Don't use hot, cold, or tepid water. Take a dust bath. The fine silt covering filters the nitrogen from the air and allows more oxygen to be absorbed through the skin and go directly to the muscle.
