I lift every day. I just do different muscles or exercises so that the same "part" doesn't get a huge workout more than once a week.

That's old School. Back in the day, when we were bulking up in the 90's we all did it. Granted, there weren't as many protein shakes and nutritional supplements to choose from and the ones that were available were very expensive. Some guys drank it during their workout. I would space it out over the day. It works, its a…

My evil motivation is to still look like I can kick-*kitten* when I'm 70. I want to be the terror of the nursery home. "Don't piss that old *kitten* off!"

Refusing to order a drink is no biggie. I am on medication that prevents me from having alcohol and I don't even bring it up. I just don't order a drink. I get lemonade, tea or soda and usually no one even asks. When I was a single man, I liked to go out for coffee for a first date- very little investment, you can actually…

A great deal of the "studies" involving agriculture being an unnatrual food for humans are based more on conjecture than scientific evidence. Man has been eating bread and grains since the Paleolithic era. Unless you have celiac, grains are perfectly fine for you. For a vegan, you NEED to eat grains since you are not…

Make out like a bandit...

I've been a boss just about every place I've worked and done many an interview in my day. The best answer to this question is to make your weakness sound like a strength. Some of the other posts do exactly that: say your attention to detail makes you over-focus. It makes you appear thorough, yet you are conceding that you…

Its funny how people are always surprised that counting calories and exercising works. Its like they expect the answer to be something else. Like you're going to say "I found a lamp on the beach, rubbed it 3 times and this genie popped out!" Everyone knows that limiting calorie intake is how you lose weight- yet no one…

Mom's Side: German and Welsh Dad's Side: Danish and Scottish Here's the fun part: 1/2 of my family is Native American. When my Danish Great Grandfather came over from Denmark he started a mission and married a local Native woman. They split off from the main tribe and started their own- which became quite large. So, I have…

"I won't have time." Is just another excuse. If it's important to you, you will MAKE the time. I used to be a Chef. I worked 14 days on a regular basis, came home put ice packs on my back and knee, took pain medicine just so I could get to sleep then woke up the next morning and did it again. However, I still MADE time to…

2 weeks is a very small window of time on the weight loss journey. Don't obsess over minor differences on the scale. They will only discourage you or give you false hope. You have to "trust the process" not the scale. As previous posts have stated, water retention and a myriad of other factors can make your weight…

And you can get by just doing flat bench press. Body builders like to concentrate on each muscle for the more sculpted look. But for strength, you are fine just doing flat benches.

The pectoral has 3 major muscles that intersect at the shoulder. The 3 positions on the bench are meant to isolate each muscle (incline= upper, decline= lower, flat= middle). They ALL get worked when you do any of the 3 exercises, however the different positions are meant to isolate and concentrate on the muscle fibers…

Skip the cowboy boots- barefoot please.

Hang her from a church tower and call her- Isabelle

I don't like being told what to do. Even by my Self. I have a great tendency to rebel against things I'm not supposed to do or have. I don't "Black List" anything. That being said: I don't eat artificial sweeteners because I hate the way they taste. I drink soda in moderation (and by moderation I mean one or two in a week)…

I think an "ideal weight" is largely based on opinion. And Doctors can be just as biased as non-Doctors. My former Dr. said I should weigh 166 lbs at 6'2". She is my former Dr. because she was also a vegan and thought everyone should be vegan and said that having large muscles was not healthy. To give some quick backstory-…

I tried a farting cleanse once- where you eat nothing but beans an broccoli for 3 straight days and clinch your but cheeks (to build up pressure) until the 4th day- during which you spend the entire day releasing the gas. That day almost got me fired and divorced...

Got it. My dirty mind went much further south when I heard the term the first time... Gotta love the language barrier. I still crack up when I hear someone offer someone a "biscuit." I'm thinking sausage gravy whenever when I hear it.

Wrap the steak in foil. It keeps the steak from drying out as it cooks and helps hold the thermometer in place- you can omit this if you prefer- but if you like your steak more than medium it will help keep is moist. I like mine ultra rare so I skip the oven, but my wife prefers her's medium well.

The key to maintain fitness is exercising briefly every hour for 10 minutes. I have a Shake Weight. Every hour or so, I turn my back to the rest of the office, put both hands on the Shake Weight and get in 100 reps. I keep the weight low, in my lap, so no one can see it. If anyone asks what I'm doing, I tell them its my…

Ok tips for steak. Depending on the cut of meat you're talking about- lets go with a NY Strip. Get a meat thermometer- (one that you can put in the steak and run the cable out of the oven). Remove some (but not all) of the fat on the side. The bit that remains- score gently on a diagonal with a knife (this will keep it…

I've got two words for ya: potato-f@#$ing-pancakes

FIREFLY!! FIREFLY!!!!! and FIREFLY!!!!!!

You took the words out of my mouth. I cringe visibly when I hear people say: "muscle isn't heavier than fat, a pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same." Of course they do! A pound of ANYTHING weighs the same as a pound of anything else. That's like asking which weighs more: a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks!…

BMI is such a poor indicator for anything other than your height to weight ratio. It has nothing to do with health or physical fitness. According to my BMI (30.1) I am Obese (Height: 6'2" Weight: 235#) I have the same BMI as a person that is 5' 5" and 180# or person at 7' 5" and 340#. See how ridiculous that is? I would…

Holy Hit the Nail on the Head, Batman... Absolutely. You don't become fit overnight then have the miraculous ability to "Eat Whatever and How much of Whatever you want." But no one wants to hear that. They want to hear: "All you have to do is take 3 ChubboBurns a day and the fat will melt off- you don't even have to…

"When I'm with you, the voices stop..."

Totally. When we would "go outside to play" we would be gone all day- by ourselves, no adult supervision. We had plenty of places within bike riding distance to play: baseball fields that were open to the public, 3 schools with playground equipment and basketball courts (and it wasn't trespassing to be there), the high…
