Can You Buy Happiness? By: Brian A. Yeager This is the “American Dream”: “The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States, a set of ideals in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility achieved through hard work. In the definition of the American Dream by…

Black Ops2 (multiplayer online) and Madden 25 (offline). Both on PS3.

Triple meat, triple cheese... Bigger in Texas. Checking in from El Paso. With all the big burgers, steaks, etc. we have here it is surely hard to eat out and not be HUGE. However, the best BIG part of Texas is in Arlington (Go Boys).

Under Armour Men's 7" HeatGear Compression Shorts. Works great for me.

I don't know. What I do know is what I do. When working through injuries I give it time to heal. Once I do that I do the full exercise even if it is a limited range of motion. That has worked for me. If I were you, I would try both and try to gauge what works best. I have had shoulder injuries and bench pressed through it…

I started out not being able to do one. I never did assisted or cheaters. I just kept working on biceps and doing lat exercises (i.e. dumbbell rows). I tried a chin up every time I worked out until, one day - I got one. It took months. Then, two and so on. Now, I pop those bad boys out up to 15 reps. Just keep working. It…

Born and raised in Steubenville, lived in Springfield. Now in Texas.

I burn over a 1,000 calories on occasion. No secret. I wear a HRM. I can burn over a 1,000 calories when I run 10.5 miles, play football or basketball for 2 hours, etc. Put in a long cardio workout and you can do it. I only have four friends, so I do not pad stats to impress people either. As others have said, the MFP…

I have had neighbors like that. Made me struggle. Thus, I wrote the following to help myself and others: When Neighbors Attack By: Brian A. Yeager Imagine yourself standing outside your home. For the tenth time in three days you witness your neighbor’s child hitting your vehicle with his ball. You’ve talked with the “man…

Slow up. Start doing some strength training to build up your calfs (i.e. weighted calf raises / tip toe squats). When I first started running I had similar issues. I had to get my legs strong enough to support the run. No problems after I started doing leg workouts with my weight training.

I have had an inguinal hernia for two years. I wear a hernia truss when I workout. I lift heavy. I run distances. I play football and basketball. Having seen three doctors, I got conflicting information from all of them. Good luck on figuring it out.

I am working on building strength. I switch up every three months or so. My workout plan for the next 12 weeks is as follows: Monday (Chest/ Abs)Bench Press (5 x 15, 12, 10, 8, 6) Incline Press (4 x 12, 10, 8, 6) Dumbbell Flies (4 x 10) Push Ups (4 x 20) Side Twists (4 x 20) Incline Sit Ups (1 x 150) Tuesday (Arms)Barbell…

The question: "Why don't women pay for dates?" My answer: A real man will not allow it! I still try, after 18 years of marriage, to never allow my wife to even open a door. A woman is precious to a man (I Peter 3:7). A moral woman is more precious than fine jewelry (Proverbs 31:10). Thus, a man treats her delicately and…

El Paso!

El Paso, TX!

We have to be careful not to judge based upon how things appear. I have three children. I spanked all three as they were growing up. However, I have one child that has autism. She threw fits and we had to figure out why before we corrected her. In her world, things don't line up the way they do for me. A child with autism…

I use a Powertec rack (http://www.amazon.com/PowerTec-WB-PR11-Powertec-Power-Workbench/dp/B00574S394/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354816296&sr=8-1&keywords=powertec+power+rack), a weight bench, and I have 700lbs of olympic weight plates. For dumbbells I use Bowflex SelectTech 552. I started out with as much weight I could do…

Hello. I have three children. Two boys and a girl. My daughter (age 13) is autistic. She was diagnosed at age 3 as non-verbal; severe. It is tough. My wife and I have found it easier as the years have gone by. In fact, we even took her out of the "autism program" at the school here in El Paso and started home schooling her…

How can you live in Cruces and not be a Cowboys fan? C'mon man (in the spirit of Monday Night Football). :)

Listen up, for the scale to move with little effort... Put wheels on it. I hope a smile was provided which may have helped you burn a few calories. :wink:

I am originally from Steubenville, OH. My favorite hometown food is a Meatball Heel from Naples Italian Restaurant. A Meatball Heel is a half loaf of baked french bread that is hollowed out and stuffed with meatballs, sauce, and cheese. Then, the hollowed out bread is stuffed in to plug the hole as it is baked. It is…

El Paso!

I had this same problem and I too could not just have a little bit of sweets. In fact, I can't eat a little bit of anything. So, what I finally did was this... I slowly weaned myself off of sweets. I started off by having sweets every other day. Then I went to every three days and so on. I still have a once a week or every…

Look, I know that this response will get some hate. However, truth must be told. It is not the man's role. While there is nothing wrong with a man cooking, it's not his God given job. Skip the gym and take care of your family.

I have been married for 17 years. I tell her I love her every chance I get, including at the end of a phone conversation.

Look, I know it is horrible what she did. However, confronting her will not help. She will take that to Twitter too. It will make you look bad because she's a dirt bag. Consider a pig... If you want to tackle a pig in the mud you're going to come out dirty too. We live in a messed up world. People like to hurt people. Just…

Wondering why someone would carry a concealed firearm... Can't speak for anyone else, but I live on the border of US & Mexico (El Paso, TX). The city we border with is Ciudad Juarez. It just happens to be the most violent city in the world. The drug cartels carry AK 47's, M16's, etc. Thus, a Glock 26 with a red dot sight…

I run both outside and on the treadmill. When I am running on the treadmill, I watch TV (have to put on the surround sound to hear it). If I am watching basketball or football, l I can get to the point where I almost forget I am running. Outdoors, that is the best. I change routes and love being outside. Right now, it is…

Those of us who are "men" in Texas own three things: 1. Justin western boots. 2. Some sort of a hat. 3. A pickup truck. Vistors are not expected to have all three, but at least one of these will help you "fit in". Before I forget, if you have never been on a horse at least walk like you have :). Then again, I live in El…
