Experience with the "whoosh"?
I've heard about it, read about it, researched it... What is your personal experience with the "whoosh": what did your body look like, how did you feel, is this even real, etc.? Note that this is a more precise post than my mistaken thought that people called it "fat flush" :laugh:

Acid reflux?
So I guess this is the best place for this post, since there's not a general "health" board. Does anyone deal with Acid Reflux or GERD? I'm 23, not overweight (just trying to get to pre-BC weight for my upcoming wedding), but with a family history of acid reflux. The last month or so, I've noticed crazy weird coughing,…

PMS- More calories?
Alright, I've read enough valid research that says that women tend to burn extra calories right before they menstruate (though that numbers is HIGHLY varied across women's cycles, heights, weights, etc.). Do any of you up your calories a teensy bit around this time? I'm eating on par with what I usually do, but I'm due to…

Magic Pudding
GO AHEAD AND MAKE MAGIC JOKES. But seriously: has anyone tried the "Magic" Protein Pudding put out by Body Nutrition (formerly called Trutein)? I love their protein powders (particularly the CinnaBun), but they don't have reviews on the pudding yet (Chocolate and Vanilla-Caramel flavor so far). Anyone tried it? Liked it?…

How to fight ranch cravings?
I'm sure this exists, but I'm always looking for more ideas, and I've never really opened a topic on here before... My number one craving is ranch dressing. Be it with fried food, vegetables, salad... I crave ranch dressing. I have made homemade dressings, made it low-fat/low-cal, etc... but nonetheless, I find it is my…

Trutein Samples
I'm putting this on the main forums as a hope that SOMEONE has some tips (I got a good tip about Quest bar variety packs on Amazon the other day). Does anyone have any knowledge on any site/store that sells the TruNutrition Trutein protein powder samples? I've read their site does, but ANY time I go, it says "Check back…

What to do with snow?
I've recently come into quite a bit of snow, and I'm wondering how I can use it for food? Don't even move this to Chit-Chat, mods. I'm not being funny. I've heard about people making ice cream and candy from this foul substance, and I WANT IDEAS.

Thinking of switching to 5/3/1
So I've been weight training for over a year now, more strictly StrongLifts for maybe 8 of those months, something like MadCow the last few months (not upping weight as aggressively). I've done at least two full deloads, in the middle of a small deload now, because I'm reaching a point with lifting + deficit where I'm not…

Krampus!?!?! I hate the truth!
So my oldest is 4 and he asked me about Santa and Christmas. I told him the truth about Krampus because I didn't want to lie to him, and now he's terrified he's going to be smacked or dismembered and taken to hell. Why did I not warn him that he shouldn't have been so naughty this year? I should have told him that he'd be…

Idiot Needing Help with 5/3/1 Calculations
I'm horrible at math/numbers, so... please don't laugh at me. Maybe you can laugh. Or pity me. I'm about to finish my first cycle of 5/3/1. I'm in love, easily. However, I'm having trouble figuring out how to apply Cycle 2, 3, etc. I've read what Wendler's said (I don't own the book, though I know he says he breaks down…

Game of Thrones Beers - Ommegang
Has anyone seen/found/had "Take the Black Stout" yet? Ommegang's site "says" you can look for where it's distributing, but it never works for me. I know it started in September and is going state by state (where it distributes, and it DOES distribute to Michigan). Gah; I missed the Iron Throne Lager which was supposed to…

Weight lifting and pushing too hard?
So this is less about my own anecdotal experience (recent) and more about everyone else: What do you do if you've pushed too hard at weight lifting? And I mean... you end up too sore, nauseous, etc.? The obvious thing would be to do less reps/less weight until that becomes easier, right? What if the weights and reps are…

Problem at the gym
Hi guys, does anyone have any advise? This same guy has been using the bench I usually use at the gym right before me and leaving it reaaaally sweaty. he looks like he came out of a shower, but it's sweat, and he leaves it on the bench. Idk if I could catch something from him, so I've been spending lots of time just wiping…

Protein and Nausea
I figured I'd post this in here, since I trust SideSteel/Sarah (and really, more people in here) than the general forums. Does anyone else experience nausea after eating protein? I'm talking whey protein, protein bars, eggs, chicken, even tofu at times. Chicken is always baked or grilled, eggs just scrambled, etc. I've…

Big change in levels in less than two months
Has anyone had any experience with this? I'm awaiting a call from my endo after getting results (they screened my thyroid levels even though I went to my primary care for a sinus infection... because they're very much a, "Oh, you have thyroid issues, let's blame EVERYTHING on those."). I have been steadily lowered on…

Weekend - Enough?
Alright, I'm going to plead ignorance on the more direct science of lifting/rest periods/etc. I'm adjusting to a new schedule with the work week (slash letting a strained muscle heal up a bit) and haven't lifted, but when I start back up again, I have the following question: Is possibly doing main lifts: squats, DL, OHP,…

Hey guys. I'm not getting any support. I feel like I could be doing so much better if I just had the proper support in my life. I feel like I just sag without any support; I could really just use a push. Help?!??

I need advice...
Hi everyone. So there is something going on with me. It is affecting things in my life and causing me to post about it. I need some advice. I don't want anything negative, and I'm not really looking for opinions. I would only like everyone to say what I want to hear. I won't say what it is that I want to hear, because I…

My ultimate goal
My ultimate goal is to be on the Power Team: http://www.thepowerteam.com. How can I achieve this? I've been strength training and I can lift at least ten bibles at once. It doesn't look like they have many women, but I'm sure I could join because there's not usually any restrictions on women in the bible. Does anyone have…

Serious question about milk
If I'm looking for a good protein, fat, immune system booster, should I drink human breast milk? I see people sell it online, and it seems pretty green (women don't produce as much methane as cows, or so I'm told). Could I just mix it in a protein shake to disguise the taste?
