Bike Trainers
Before we know it snow will be flying in the Northeast. Besides some fat bike riding in the winter I would like to invest in a bike trainer to continue training for Tri's in the offseason and other MTB XC races. Does anyone have any recommendations for trainers? What should I be looking for? I am trying not to spend a ton…

DIY Antler Mount
Has anyone ever done their own antler mount? I am having a hell of a time getting the last of the skin off the skull and want to know of any tricks.

T25-New Beach Body Program
For those who have done other Shaun T workouts, what do you think of the new T25 that is coming out? Will you give it a shot? I love Insanity, Asylum 1 and Asylum 2, I just don't know if I can buy into this. 25 mins really isn't that long to get a really good workout in. My feeling this is for people that don't want to put…

Pre-season Workout programs
So what kind of programs are you cyclists doing/following leading up to the cycling season? (I say season because here is the Northeast it is rather hard to bike with snow covered roads/trails). I have been following SL 5x5 for the past 10 weeks. I like the program and I am seeing some great strength gains, but I am…

5x5
I am starting this program next Monday. I have read through the website and some of the other forum post on here but have a question on increasing weights. Are you supposed to increase your weight in between each set or increase each workout (workout A or B) ? My thought (and it could be wrong) is you increase each set…

Push gift
Ok, my wife is due any day with our first child. I was just told this week I need to get her a push gift, this was news to me. I have asked several people and have been given mixed answers so I am asking the masses on MFP: Do I get my wife a push gift for our first child? If so, something small or an elaborate gift?!?

I have recently plateaued. Part of it I think is due to my carb intake but I am no expert. So I am upping my protein intake, lifting more than cardio and trying not to eat my exercise cals back. My goal is to cut bf% from 17 to like 12% and drop another 5-7lbs.. So I am looking for some honest reviews on my daily logs and…

Sideline Duo 1010 HRM Anyone?!?!?
I just bought one today. At first I couldn't stand it, I thought the directions were awful and the programs are too hard to understand. I think I finally figured it out at least for what I am looking for. It kept my heart rate steadily and I thought gave good readings.... Anyone else have any reviews?
