So people who actually know what they're talking about are haters? Juice fast all you want but don't try to tell people its "the way to go" when nutrition, physiology, science and plain old common sense disagree with you.

I use them after intense workouts to "shock" the muscles and speed healing- it works great. Shortens recovery time and prevents next day soreness. Just don't take one on a first date- women don't know about shrinkage...

Ripping your muscles with heavy weight will make them "puff up" temporarily as your body responds to the stress of lifting (just like sprain or an injury but on a smaller scale). Give them a full week to repair between leg workouts. You can work lower body without weights at all. Squats, lunges, calf raises, isometric…

How many calories you burn really doesn't matter. You lift to build muscles, get stronger, tone etc. The benefits of lifting go far beyond how many calories you burn while doing it. Lifting raises your metabolism and you will burn more calories the rest of the day than you would if you didn't lift. If you really want to…

I was buying a coconut cake for my wife's birthday and this very attractive woman in the aisle looked at it and said: "Is that for dessert? Can I come over?" "It's for my wife's birthday." I said casually- not getting her inuendo at first. Then she lowered her glasses, seductively looked me up and down and said. "Well it…

The "number" doesn't matter much to me at all. I like curvy girls, hate to see bones sticking out and I don't think washboards on women are sexy. Two women with the exact same weight can be vastly different in their physical appearance (just like men). Its more about "where" the weight is. If I see a woman with large…

Weight loss logic is not logical. Having a binge does not mean you will immediately gain weight no more than exercising will immediately make you lose weight. If you have been eating at a deficit your body has started to dip into your fat stores- so you have actually been losing weight the whole time. Your body does not…

Don't approach it like its "All or Nothing." That's why you want to rebel and eat the whole tub of ice cream. Have a cup of the ice cream and enjoy it. Put some F'in cashews on it and some hot fudge. But log it and move on. Eat the things you love in moderation. Change your portion sizes to something live-able. If you keep…

Just like every other profession: some are quacks and some are equivalent to the celestial being you mention. You might have to look around to find the right one. I've had a bad back since I was 20 and I've seen several chiro's over the years. This is what I've learned: 1. They can't fix every problem. Adjustments are only…

I don't torture myself eating stuff I don't like or denying myself completely of the things I love. Healthy eating doesn't have to be torture or depravation and you are more likely to slide back into that style of eating if you don't allow yourself a guilty pleasure once in a while. Yes, I will eat french fries- but only…

Listen to your body. If it feels like you are overtraining then you are. Fatigue, soreness, lethargy, spasms, muscle weakness etc. are all signs that your body is trying to tell you to stop. Rest periods are just as important as lifting. You don't mention how much weight you're lifting so its hard to say if you're over…

You are far from ugly or awkward... Kids teasing me in Middle School gave me the motivation to lift weights before H.S. I beefed up to 250 and no one has picked on me since. But its not a bad idea.

I was raised old-school. You show respect for women, your elders and hell... everybody else.

What's the word for a sexy older man? DILF? FILF? Wallet?

I was on a blind date once with a girl that was "plus size"- to put it plainly. Anyway, I like her I thought she was funny and we hit it off right out of the gate. However, we here at a Comedy Club and she had an annoying laugh that was quite loud. A trio of jerk-wads were at the table next to us and one of them said:…

Isometric exercises will help strengthen the tendons and reduce pain. Any exercise you do can be done isometrically, you just hold a position during the exercise for 10-30 seconds at a point where the muscle is stressed. Stop at the point before you feel pain. If you do feel pain, stop. Tendons and ligaments take time to…

Agree SO much! I used to be a Chef, I love food. The only way a weight loss program was going to work for me was if I could still eat the things I love. So, I still do- I just eat less of them or fit them into my calorie count for the day. We enjoy food for a reason. Our body, mind and soul needs the pleasure of eating…

Just my opinion: But, you are 20 years old, beautiful and don't look like you need to lose a pound. Why would you choose to do a 1200 calorie diet? I would bet my num-chucks that you could eat a 2500 calories diet of good food and exercise and you wouldn't gain a pound. 1200 calorie diets are for people that want to shed…

"All men watch porn. The ones that say they don't watch a LOT of porn." Joey- Friends Its perfectly normal. Men are just naturally excited by things we see- so we like to watch. It doesn't mean he's going to cheat, doesn't mean he's a pervert, doesn't mean he expects his wife to have sex like that. Its a fantasy. Its just…

Get a coach. Or a personal trainer or somebody else that KNOWS how to lift. And by KNOW I mean, someone who actually KNOWS as in; educated or at the very least has been doing it for years and has the body to prove it. Someone who has studied body physiology, nutrition, exercise science etc. Broscience is your worst enemy…

I've found it makes a huge difference. You think twice about that 5th piece of pizza... Plus, I thought I was eating a lot less than I actually was until I started keeping track of it. The last time I was on a regimented eating cycle was in the 90's when I was trying to bulk up (to become a professional…

I agree OP! Unfortunately, the Internet gives otherwise wussy cowards a set of virtual cojones so they poke at people without fear of reprise. You know in real life people would never say some of the things they do to a flesh and blood person that is standing right in front of them.

Any Metal Band with an "M" in their name: Metallica, Motorhead, Megadeth, Manowar, Metal Church, Iron Maiden, makes for good workout music.

Curls for the gurls! (fist bump) Ok, I never fist bump, but that was pretty funny.

Atkins was never intended to be used long term. It was designed for heart patients to drop weight quickly for surgery. You can get the same (and healthier) results simply by counting and cutting calories while exercising. Its a tried and true method that has been around for ages. Carbs are not the enemy. Well placed,…

Weight loss or not, you look great! Good for you!

I love your username by the way. I practice Asatru, come from a long line of Vikings and even studied the Viking Martial art (Liekfang). Good luck!

I compared the FitBit and the UP extensively before settling on the FitBit. I've heard people saying good things about the UP both on the internet and in person, but for me the FitBit site is easier to navigate, the band is barely noticeable (I felt the UP was a little clunky) and you can change the color if you want to…

To truly follow a Paleo diet, you have to wear animal skins, go barefoot and kill your food with a stone... I'm totally kidding, I really don't understand why peeps demand that you follow a diet 100% in order to call it "Paleo." I don't understand why anyone would give a damn what anyone else eats anyway. Call it whatever…
