My husband can't be trusted either.
He keeps taking the full-sized candy bars out of the kids' buckets.:angry: :grumble: Also we have a ton of left over candy because after I had already bought $20 worth of ring pops and fun dip (awesome right?) he went and bought another $20 of fun size chocolate bars.

Ladies who have "bulked"
In honor of some of the comments in this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/940303-my-lady-bulking-memoir-pic-heavy (and because I'm bored), I thought it would be cool to put together a collection of Lady bulking success stories. Bonus points if you've successfully cut afterwards. Also please answer the…

Why does a high heart rate mean?
Not resting but during activity. My 41 year old husband did a mountain bike race last summer. 6 hours race, average heart rate 169. That's pretty high for an old dude. Should he be worried? He does use an inhaler for asthma during his races but doesn't over use it, and supplements with caffeine.

And this is why I haven't take my new bike out yet.
This is my "home" trail. Bear Creek Lake Park. In the picture on the left, the trail is down there in the trees. It's covered by about 40ft of water on the right. I'd guess 75% of the trails in the area have seen heavy damage from the Colorado Flooding. *right click -> View image to see the entire thing.

What weight lifting does for small boobs...
This has come up a few times in the last couple of days. Someone complains about losing boobs with weight. Others answer and say lifting helps. Others still doubt this tip. Now this is hard to show without getting banned and/or divorced but I'll do what I can... My breasts are still small. 36A. But I've birthed and…

Yet another, why lifting is awesome post.
A friend posted this on facebook. I remember hating to wear shorts in college because of how my thighs looked when I sat. Yeah. I'm actually okay with it now. Because, yeah, muscles.

Would you buy a demo bike?

What are your thoughts on Scott mountain bikes?
My husband can get a good deal on them through the bike shop he races for. He's looking at a Spark for racing and I was thinking about a Genius. However the lady that runs my riding club, who's worked at bike shops for 20 years, says they aren't that great. She also thinks $2000-$3000 (how much I want to spend) is really…

Because I'm bored. My squat video
Squats have progressed very slow for me. I was analyzing form constantly trying to figure out why my bench press was the same as my squats (115). I had done the big plates once a year ago but backed off, missed some work outs, etc and hadn't ever gone back up. I decided the reasons I was slow wasn't form but fear. I was…

Mountain bikers, flat pedals or clipless?

Someone needs to invent a progress picture program.

Oh no! I'm pear shapes and my thighs got bigger.
I also have been eating too much and gained 6lbs but I'm sure it's due to the squats. :sad: :drinker:

Do you lift heavy? Are you bulky?
Show me. I've seen a random increase in the "Lift low weights, high reps to avoid bulky" posts. I would like to perform a quick survey of women. Do you "lift heavy", meaning 4-10 reps as heavy as you can for 3-5 sets? (4-6 reps is good for strength, 8-10 for size, by the way). I'd like to see pictures in "street clothes"…

Is Being Really Lean Really Worth It?
Good article: http://mollygalbraith.com/2013/07/is-being-really-lean-really-worth-it/ I like this: I think this is where I am at. I'm pretty happy aesthetically and not really willing to change my lifestyle anymore get my aesthetics exactly where I want them to be.

Give me some ideas for a cheapish bike related gift
My husband's birthday is today (I know, last minute) and I need ideas for something my kids can buy him. The 4 year old suggested a new bike but he already has 3 and the next one on his list is $6000. A little out of a 4 year olds price range.

Does it REALLY matter if you can gain muscle on a deficit
or not? Just lift weights, deficit or no deficit. It's fun. It's challenging. It makes you feel bad-*kitten*. It's good for your bone density and your blood pressure. It's awesome to be stronger. And yes, it'll make you look better at the end of your weight loss "journey" :flowerforyou: (in my opinion, and yes, I just used…

What are women competeing for?
In response to the catty women thread (and yes, I felt the need to start a new thread as that one had been derailed). I love this quote: from here: http://fitandfeminist.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/woman-on-woman-jealousy-worst-motivator-ever-or-worst-motivator-ever/ However the solution to "catty women" isn't to write off…
