Dr. Oz to take a play from Lance Armstrong's book
Following Lance's lead, sources say Dr. Oz will come out on the next Oprah, explaining to the public that he is a quack and a fraud. There is talk that refunds may be issued for Raspberry Ketone purchases, if you still have the receipt. So hold on to those receipts!

I binged :(
I was trying to do one of those fasts/cleanse type of things. The parameters were to to stay off of MFP except to log my food. I heard this would jump-start my mental health. Well, last night I failed horribly. I binged. I must have posted like 100 times. I feel horrible about it today. What should I do? I don't know how I…

BeachBody, Body by Vi, etc
Which is better? I just heard some amazing #'s on another thread.. people making tens of thousands of dollars selling this stuff? Sounds too good to be true, but I'm intrigued. Which one of these MLM's should I hypothetically join if I wanted to make the highest amount of revenue possible every month? Doesn't have to be…

How Dave Tate cuts
Fascinating read on how Dave Tate (World Class Powerlifter) got cut and ripped. It explains his diet and habits that got him looking like this (and remember kids, he was also lifting obscene amounts that us morals will only dream of, and smashing records): And the changes he had to make to get looking like this: Imagine…

The things I've done / The things I do
This post will be a somewhat aimless braindump of some things I was thinking about on the drive home from work yesterday. I want to take a look back on some of the things that I did back when I first started with fitness and weightloss, that I really believed in, but in the end were not really necessary. It may or may not…

Warmup Sets for Meet
Let's talk warmup sets. What sort of formula or progression do you follow? Need to strike a balance between warming up well, but not wearing out. I am thinking something along the lines of: 5 x 40% of goal 3 x 50% 2 x 60% 1 x 75% 1 x 85% Then opening with 90% of goal. Second lift will be 100% of goal. Third lift will be a…

Choosing target weights at competition
I am likely entering my first meet on Dec 1st. I've been mulling over how to choose the weights I am going to lift. I could do some actual 1RM tests as the date gets very close, and shoot for something around there or a few lbs more. Or I could go with my regular training and pick some numbers based on calculated 1RM. I've…

question about Michonne's "pets"
Sure they are jawless and armless, but why aren't they relentlessly trying to attack and eat her? I didn't think zombies could learn anything, so I would expect them to keep trying and trying in vain. They are zombies after all! Any explanation, maybe from the comic (which I've never read)?

on belts and overhead press
Recently got myself a belt (4", 10mm lever belt) and just breaking it in and getting the hang of it. Yesterday I did OHP with it for the first time. I found that when I press up, my core gets narrower so it's quite difficult to maintain pressure against the belt. I really had to focus hard on this on the last couple of…

Context, people
Scenario: someone posts a question complaining that they are starving and wants advice. What should you do? Step 1: take a look at their diary. Is their diary closed or locked? Then don't give out random advice like like "drink a bunch of water", and "eat fiber one bars", and "brush your teeth". Ask to see the diary, or to…

Does chicken & sweet potato really work?
Like for weight loss? Should I eat them immediately after my workout? Will I bulk up eating them? This is how most protein shake / meal replacement shake threads read to me. Seems like people think these shakes have some sort of magical properties. I wish they would just look at them as they are - a form of food, that have…

I hate air
It's just so boring I can hardly stand it. I used to smoke, but I gave that up, because it's "not healthy" lol blah blah blah. I've tried soaking a dust mask in perfume and breathing through it, but people give me funny looks, and after a while the smell gets stale anyway. Are there any alternatives to just breathing plain…
