It's been a while
After a long hiatus, I'm back. No huge thing, just reintroducing myself.

Meditation?
Okay, from the advice of a friend, I recently started trying meditation as a stress reliever. So far, eventhough I was pretty skeptical at frist, I'm actually finding it benefical. I've always had a hard time falling asleep, but, it's really helped with that. Anyone have any tips for deeper meditation? I actually feel…

Feeling Tired
So, lately I've been getting rather sleepy during my relaxation time. I almost feel like I can take a nap anytime I sit down for more than 15 minutes. I've been eating plenty (2500-3000 cals a day) and getting 6-8 hours of sleep most nights. A few nights I may only get 4 (quick turnaound days at work), but, I feel pretty…

Inspirational quote?
I was watching Dodgeball on TV and the Lance Armstrong cameo just happened. Made me think of his old Nike commercial... So, I ask this. What's your favorite inspirational quote? "This is my body. And I can do whatever I want to it. I can push it. Study it. Tweak it. Listen to it. Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What…

BMI says I'm obese!.....
............... and so is Fabio! Just wanted to remind everyone, no matter where you read them or what they mean, you can't always go by the numbers. You're clothes getting "bigger," random people checking you out, the belt that is suddenly stretched out, underwear that stops shrinking in the drier..... Those things are…

Men and NRoL?
I just ordered a copy of New Rules for Lifting, and, I'm curious if there are any men out there that have used it? I used to be a big lifter year ago. Now, I'm trying to shed the extra pounds (obviously) but also maintain strength and some size. I guess I'm just curious as to what's in store for me and how it's worked for…

Was I wrong?
So, I was at the gym today doing my workout, and, there were these two women there. They got there about 10 minutes into my workout. My gym isn't very big, so, benches are very limited when using dumbbells. Essentially, these two women were using two benches to sit on. Not work out, but, to sit on. Their routine went…

Running routine?
So, I've been running now for about 3 months now and feel like I need some guidance as to a better way to go about my running. I'm sure it's the same as lifting in some way. I mean, you just don't go into a gym and start pushing weight. There's a plan, a method to the madness. I lift four days a week. My split looks like…

Who does #2 work for?
I know I'm not the only one with this issure, and, I'm sure others have had this issue as well. With my change in caloric intake and eating fewer processed foods, I have, well, stopped being regular. To put it more bluntly, I can barely ever do a #2. It's almost like I barely go over a 6-10 day period and then have a…

It's cold up here!
Well, it's winter here in Michigan and I'm starting to hit the boredum wall of doing cardio indoors... Besides the typical gym cardio equipment, what do some of my follow cold climate people do to break up the cardio routine?

A question for the runners out there...
Is there a stretch or exercise I can do to help prevent shin splints?

Not "new" but looking for a few friends.
I'm a 30 y/o male with a past as an athelete that gathered up a few injuries. Anyone need an extra motivator that doesn't mind being motivated?
