Knee Sleeves for people with joint issues.
I've tried a plethora from "Doctor recommended" open patella style to, Rehbands, knock off Rehbands, to Knock Off SBDs and regular SBDs. I lost one of my Rehbands while walking back from the gym and I've been using the SBDs full time. After a while I noticed my ROM seemed to get worse and most recently my knee has been…

CES is so disappointing right now.
The only thing my friend is excited for is his Oculus.

Which deadlift do you pull? Conventional or Sumo (butt)
If you watch broscience you know what eating butt means. I started out learning sumo, but as I became more experienced found that conventional is much faster and stronger for me.

What grinds your "gears" at the gym?
When I first started at the gym I felt people were staring at me judging me for being fat... Nothing has changed, but I feel as though people (dooods) still stare because they want to make the gym a competition. No, I don't care how much you can lift.. no I don't care how big your bicep is... staring is not anabolic.

My story on why compound lifts saved me + Youtube
Why I'll never give up lifting regardless of my age, weight, or living situation... I, like most of you on MFP, have tried a variety of diets and exercise regimens which have worked, not worked, or fell somewhere in between. I was active as child, but was always overweight and it only got worse until college. I was able to…

Hitting up Costco this weekend: What should I buy?
I normally just buy a lot of meat, but I've been shopping at Asian markets recently.. it's actually a better deal to hit up the Asians for protein. I'm thinking: Eggs Salsa Paper Towels

Mind Muscle Connection
It's great when you can really start being more in tune with your body. You don't need super heavy weight or special machines to feel a really good contraction and everything just clicks* Mental cues are great like "pull with your elbows" for back exercises, but when you don't have to rely on those cues anymore I feel like…

I wish statuses had an "edit" feature...
I try to limit the amount of grammar and spelling errors I make in a day. I, however, can not avoid typing in run on sentences (as far as casual conversations go).

What "equipment" do you wish your gym had?
I've seen some neat things like a gym that has a video loop pointed at the deadlift platforms and power racks, so people can finish their lift and then form check on the monitors they have. My campus gym is pretty barebones and only the varsity athletes get to use the Olympic weightlifting equipment.

Thoughts on Tinder? You can't delete your profile
It stays on there forever I've read... Worth it? Fun? Not fun?

Started using a lifting belt after a while...
Damn, makes hitting higher volume days / heavy days so much easier. I don't feel as taxed by the time I'm 1/2 done through my working sets. Definitely worth the investment once you're lifting 2x body weight+.

Anyone still play League of Legends?
I'm feeling like queuing up with some teammates would be much better than solo q.

Confession: I hate front squats
I don't have the wrist flexibility and it feels awkward as f****.

Do any physique competitors use Shakeology?
I was thinking about this seeing one of those Shakeology pictures on my FB wall. I would consider myself a Youtube junkie whether it's tech news, general entertainment, or fitness related. I've never come across any professional physique / performance athlete that uses Shakeology... unless perhaps they were an affiliate.…

Whose deadlift would be the best? Goku / Superman / The Hulk
Also to clarify.. Goku is not fusioned with any other Saiyen.

Why are chest pictures so common?
Is it because females in particular have never felt wanted and WANT to be objectified on MFP? I feel like once a female becomes a bro... arm flexing and boob pictures get uploaded ASAP. Not complaining... I like boobs and fitness, but I think it's making MFP creepier than it needs to be.
-
What structured lifting programs have you tried/recommend?
I've looked into 5x5 and the low volume just really isn't my thing. I've seen The Cube Method picking up steam at least via Youtube. I found an e-copy of The Cube Method for $10 http://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/books/Title/5dx4zjnP5E24DJ-lGVEnJA#readThisOn Whereas the hard copies are $40-50+

What candy are you eating this Halloween?
... and unless you're contest prepping one... candy bar isn't going to destroy your diet. I've always loved Butterfingers, but like some delicious things if you eat it too fast it'll razor your mouth up. I've been told Captain Crunch is the same way.. I've never eaten it to really know. I will say overly baked pizza crust…

For fun: Guess the demographic of MFP users
Lifting Bros: 30% Milfs: 20% Girls who just want to look like the magazines:10% Pure trolls: 15% (Perhaps I should separate this category into Fun Trolls and 4Chan/Reddit/I'm too smart for you Trolls) Eventual Quitters: 20% Other: 5% I'm debating on which category I fall into... I'm probably a MILF.

What's your favorite lift (or exercise) in the gym?
Generally, compound lifts are my favorite, but if I had to break down my top lifts compound vs. isolation... - Isolation movement: Lat pull down close or wide - Compound movement: Sumo dead lift - HITT: Biking -Steady State Cardio: Stairs

Compliments are hard to take.. but not in games :)
It always put a smile on my face when either your teammates or even the enemy actually recognizes your play. I get really awkward when people say good things about me IRL, but for some reason in a game I'm totally okay with it. I'm the nerd that watches game videos, makes dps spread sheets, and theorycrafts.. it makes it…

Self pity got you fat
It's good to take care of yourself, but self pity is toxic (and addicting). People who make life changes do it by becoming empowered; they didn't do it by crying about it.

How do I log extra "chews" into my exercise log?
I mean a really tough steak has to be less NET calories than a really tender steak? #lockjaw This also sums up my feelings on people who put vacuuming under exercise.
