Is my gf too underweight?
Stats: she's 5'6 and weighs about 55kg. Brief description: You can see her ribs. She does yoga. You can see her abdominals. She has very thin limbs. She knows she ought to eat more. She eats very healthily and so doesn't take in that many calories. I wonder if encouraging her to focus on compound lifting would increase her…

And they say sugar in fizzy drinks is addictive
I just can't stop drinking this diet cola. Bought 2 litres of the stuff about 30 minutes ago. Already downed a third and can't stop! :D

The anti-sugar thing is now mainstream (check Twitter for #sugarrush).
Which makes me wonder: what's the next big anti fad just round the corner?

What's your target calories for the day?
I often see people posting 1200 as their goal and then being told they're eating too little. I thought it would be interesting to see what others are aiming for. Right now, I'm going for 2500 (well, 2400 really but I'm happy with 2500). Protein is 140g minimum.

Bring Sally Up MFP Push Up and Pull Up Challenges
Using the following video, post your push up and pull up times. Mine's -1 minute 30 seconds for push ups before I just couldn't get up -1 minute 10 seconds for pull ups before I could take the pain of the bar grinding into my fingers no longer. Got into this annoying swing as I was trying to remain relaxed.

What's wrong with water retention?
Cut down salt, stop retaining water. But if I exercise and sweat a lot, isn't it useful? Or am I confusing two subjects?

Weight watches question

Guitar amp question
I've got this old Fender Frontman 25R ( http://amzn.to/1fHkqGz ) and was wondering how big a room I can use it in before it's out of its depth. If I were to use it as a speaker for an ipod in a hall/gym the size of a tennis court with, say, 50 people in, would it be loud enough to make people have to raise their voices to…

Kreb's cycle and exercise
No, if you haven't heard of the Kreb's cycle, it's not a new piece of exercise equipment. I've been reading a thread on another site that suggests the likes of HIIT/P90X/Insanity/Tabata/Sprint training are not that useful for fat burning and LISS is actually better. Any thoughts (backed up with proof)? I was under the…

So, who's the strongest woman on MFP?
Just a fun thread. I know a lot of you strength train so post up your bench press, deadlift, squat and shoulder press weights. Photos of you in action win extra internet points. :) (Photos not necessary - I've already creeped in your profile. :laugh: )
