If you are just using the site as it is without any personal adjustments then it goes as follows: You tell the site your height your weight your gender and what your goal weight is. You also tell the site if you are sedentary or active. You tell the site how much you plan to workout each week. Based on this information the…

Just to be clear you are saying this is a Scale Non-Scale Victory?

I don't see how this would do much for muscular endurance. Military exercises and drills tend to focus a whole lot around muscular endurance with only some emphasis on muscular strength.

I have had a lot of success with the workouts found on Military.com. I have not tried the pull up routine because the army does not do them but it stands to reason that it should be effective.

I am sitting on two strikes so it is only a matter of time before I am banned.

I know when I went to basic for the army we had some people that were barely able to get in and as a result they hated life. The majority of them failed out. What was an average day like for you in the marine boot camp?

I am not sure if you have something compelling you to join the marines so quickly but it might be a good idea for you to get in to far better shape before you even consider joining the marines. 2 pull ups and 10 pushups should be a complete joke to you if you expect to meet the physical requirements they will expect from…

The 10 pushups and the 2 pull up just get you in to boot camp they are not enough to graduate book camp. When I went in to the army we had to be able to do 13 pushups before our first day of basic training. If you are unable to get to 13 pushups you are put in to a Fitness Training Battery and you have to improve until you…

Oh ok there is an image that for some reason I cannot see.

I don't get it.

It isn't like they were issued their religion either. Most believers do tend to follow the religion that was taught to them by their parents but you do have a brain and you can and should evaluated those teaching against reality and not the other way around. My parents raised me to be catholic and when I was a kid I didn't…

The four stages of forum grief.

Sorry I have not posted a new quote for you all in a while. I am trying to maintain a standard that we have done pretty well at living up to so far. You are very welcome. I am glad that others are actually enjoying this as much as I am. There was a point at the beginning where I thought I was the only one who was in to…

People in this thread have said that they were shocked.

I though this was just and old fashioned practice that nobody did anymore but I looked it up just now and sure enough it is still going.

I swear I am trying really hard to only talk about stuff that the MFP moderators will not lock a thread down for. For this reason I did not make a thread about Syria. Yet Syria keeps rearing its head in here. This is not my fault. I have tried to keep this thread away from being divisive. I think that any moderator that…

I think the escapism can be considered too much if you are doing it so often that you neglect other things. For example if I spend so much time juggling that I never go around to paying my mortgage then that would be too much. I don't know how typical I am but things like this get the waste energy that is left over after I…

I was talking about the perception of the rogue as a class and not the actions of the individual rogue. The traditional wisdom when it comes to the rogue is as you stated "...we tend to be very selfish and care only for ourselves." I have done what I can in my gaming groups to dispel this perspective because I see it as…

I have had to make sacrifices for my children so I can understand the situation that you are in. Perhaps you were in fact in a situation without any other options. It is just that places like that are hoping that you will fail to pay them back so that they can keep ramping up your debt. If you go in to default and a…

You can use things like a certificate of deposit or a credit card that you get directly from your bank. This way you can have that history of credit without having to stray too far off the beaten path as it were.

I have a mortgage and my son recently had to move back in to my house so yeah I can understand having higher priorities then this but this conversation doesn't really demand much of my time resources or brain power. I can see why that would be a good justification to not join the conversation but you did join the…

Hey now don't go bringing God in to this. You are going to get my thread locked. I am trying to play it very middle of the road here. The fact of the matter is I am not allowed to give my opinion about God and/or religion so the whole topic has to stay completely off the table.

My response came off far more defensive then I intended anyways. I was really just trying to get across the fact that we actually can't talk about things that really matter without getting people upset. Upset people equals locked threads. When 9/11 happened it was all over the news along side another story talking about…

Asked and answered, but I will indulge you so you don't have to bother scrolling up and reading what has already been written. This is the general forums and we cannot talk about Syria because that topic would be divisive. If we made a thread about that it would be very unlikely to last very long before it would get locked…

Since I happen to be a straight guy I can't really comment on how sexy he is with any real credibility but I would like to point out that he is hilarious. "Jizz in My Pants" made me laugh my *kitten* off.

I would be interested in hearing how your atheist friends would try to justify a ban on same sex marriage since calling something gross and unnatural is not sufficient justification to support a ban. They would have to be able to demonstrate how they or others are actually harmed by their marriages and being grossed out…

We all make mistakes it's no big deal.

I think what lesteidel is referring to is the fact that advertising dollars are linked to the clicks of your mouse. If you click on a video or anything with her name on it does not distinguish between whether you did it as a fan, someone who hates her, of just out of curiosity. It is another click added to the pile. I will…

Oh I wasn't talking about you. I have seen you in conversations with me about heavy topics in the past. You know, before it was cool.

I never said I don't care. You are thinking of others within this thread. I never even said it was unimportant. I said it shouldn't be considered shocking. Judging by your post I am wondering if you even read my OP. I see this as more important that people would like to think. The overwhelming infatuation with this event…
