Made my first beef tongue (pic)
This actually turned out to be a good rest day food with its very high fat content. I used the same process as making corned beef brisket from scratch. Then boiled for 3 hours in fresh water, then skinned, then boiled again for an hour or so in beer cut with water.

move less and eat less
It has taken me a year to figure out, and I'd be a jerk if I didn't share. Trying to lose weight? Working out more than 3 times a week? There is your problem. Take a look around at posts from people "doing everything right and not losing". What do almost all of them have in common? Crazy exercise regimen. Losing weight is…

super simplified strength program for cutting
Ok question for the strength folks: I'm happy with my progress in body composition so far, as I've gone from kinda fat guy to pretty fit guy in a year. However, it has taken me a while to get my act together on strength and as a result my squat in particular is very weak, with my 5RM only 10lbs heavier than my 5rm bench…

behold, the Barbecunicorn!
Any food placed inside, even briefly, will make you gain even though there is "no way you are eating more than about 1500 per day", and you are avoiding carbs and sodium.

myth: you can't build weight loss on a deficit
I'm living proof. So don't give me this thermodynamics crap. You can build weight loss on a deficit while getting stronger.

DOMS and alternating high rep and low rep lifting
So this isn't a complaint because I don't mind my DOMS, I'm just asking to see if others share this experience and hoping to find out if this will continue. I also understand DOMS is not a reliable indicator of workout effectiveness. So about a month and a half ago I went from always going for 6rm to alternating 3rm once a…

Trying to get a wheat belly
So... I'm away from home for months now, and I have no access to my usual brown sticky rice. Lack of complex carbs from the resulting paleo style diet (plus dairy) has left me with slow recovery times in the area that matters most, which is my voice. I'm officially back on bread now, as my main source of carbs. On top of…

Question for biology geeks
This one has always been at the back of my mind: where does the fat go? I mean specifically, where does it go? If one goes on on bowel rest due to an intestinal condition, fat is lost but there is no pooping, so I assume poop is out. That leaves flatulence, exhaled gases, and urine and sweat, or some other skin secretion.…

Tracking my TRX workouts
Hi everyone and thanks in advance for the help. I'm on the road and have no gym, so I've purchased a TRX. I've also just switched over from another app for tracking. I wear a heart rate monitor in my workouts to get a calorie burn, and might ride a bike to a good spot to set up when I don't do it in my friend's apartment.…

My body transformation
This is going better than I imagined! Started tracking calories in January using another app. Moved over here hoping that the forums are more actively moderated. My before and after pics are here. Work in progress of course, but I'm thrilled!…
