Why do people hate burpees so much?
Seriously, why do burpees have such a bad rep? I can think of several other exercises and lifts that are worse. Clean and press, deadlift, thrusters and power jumps for example, make me want to vomit and pass out much worse than burpees.

Heavy lifters, do you get offended when...?
Do you get offended when people who don't lift heavy, claim that they are heavy lifters? According to these standards, I fall in between advanced and elite.

Overweight attributed to genetics???
If it's commonly accepted to attribute athleticism and good looks to genetics, is it possible that being overweight is attributed to genetics? Of course through exercise and caloric intake, one can perhaps fight their genetics. But why is it that so many people who bust their *kitten* in the gym, and eat so few calories,…

It's not 3,500kcal/pound!!!
So Pu_239 and I have been discussing, you need to burn almost 3,700 of FAT kcals to lose a pound of fat. 1 pound = 454 grams 1 gram of fat = 9 kcals Therefore, one must burn 4,086 FAT kcals to lose a pound of fat. EDIT: Multiply by .9(correction factor) = 3,677kcal However, our bodies constantly burn a mixture of fuel…
