FAI and avoiding squats
Does anyone have any tips or advice on heavy lifting programmes that arent too squat heavy. Sadly I seem likely to have developed a femoroacetabular impingement (clinical diagnosis only based on symptoms and discussed over coffee with ortho colleagues and not confirmed by xray). I switched to Stronglifts earlier this year…

I have no opinion
But sharing anyway for the lols http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/feb/03/crosstfit-the-new-fitness-craze-has-a-lot-to-tell-us-about-late-western-capitalism If you're the kind of person who keeps abreast of fitness trends or is at all interested in rubbernecking at the absurd extremes of human behaviour, you've…

British royal family and clean eating
I recently visited London and went to a few historical sites such as the Tower and it struck me that many of the monarchy through history were obese, especially in later life. William the Conqueror was described as obese, Queen Anne as "gross and corpulent". Both George 3rd and 4th were grossly fat. Queen Victoria had a…

11 steps to give up sugar
From The Guardian - made me laugh anyway 1 Know thine enemy It is droll to observe nutritional advice at the public health level; governments and their agencies always approach obesity as though it were a problem of information or – in the popular phrasing – "awareness". If people only knew how much sugar there was in a…

Why are people with jobs rude, obese, smokers?
And why do they wear slutty Halloween costumes?

Old bones and chest strength
I'm really struggling to progress with pushing exercises due to various aches and pains. A year ago I had a quad bike accident where I hit my chest and I think sustained an intercostal separation (self diagnosed from my ER nurse X-ray vision) and whilst its healing I'm finding bench pressing hard going. When I try to work…

Something Im missing or doing wrong
I’m trying very hard not to get frustrated but I have now been on MFP since the beginning of March and am seeing a slow steady weight gain. I have just looked back over the past 90 days of logging and, apart from a brief hiatus in May when I spat the dummy, I have been netting less than 1500 calories consistently. I have…

NSV squats and beer
Two and a half months of heavy lifting and squats have lifted my backside up enough that my husband can now rest his pint glass on it. My next goal is a reduction in size so that he can only balance a shot glass instead.

Using science to argue your case
Every day the MFP boards bring us a selection of threads from people claiming this food group is bad/that food group is wonderful. Every thread is then filled with a selection of arguments for and against the OPs initial supposition. Many will claim a variety of evidence or anecdotes in order to support their stance,…

NSV - heavy box
"Can you come to reception to fetch a parcel? You will need a trolley it's very heavy" I picked it up and carried it back to my office with one arm. Lifting win!

Struggling to hit protein targets (without shakes)
I'm trying really hard to reach my protein targets as I've started strength training, plus I can see the health benefits. I've set my macros at a 40/30/30 ratio. Every day I'm about 40g short but everything recommended as a protein snack - peanut butter, eggs, cottage cheese, nuts etc still won't reach that target but will…

Dont laugh at our home gym
Ok so we have a second hand bench, some 5kg dumbells, a barbell and 20kg plates found off a verge collection and a squat rack my husband made from wood. I have never done free weights in my life and have a dodgy back so Im a bit worried at the risk of injuring myself if I start lifting using this motley collection. Any…

Maybe this eating more thing isn't b*****ks after all
I admit I was skeptical. Very. After all its a matter of physics - energy in energy out - and all a calorie is is a unit of energy. Eat less calories + burn more calories = weight loss. I've had a lot do success over the years trying to force my ageing body to remain the same BMI it was in my 20's, with low calories diets.…

Arrrgggh frustrating weight gain!
Both me and my husband are having the same issues so I’m assuming its diet associated, but I just cant see where we are going wrong to put on weight. Eight years ago we both lost about 20 kg that we had put on in our early marriage and having a baby etc. We did this using Lite and Easy which is an Australian company that…
