Punch through those fears!
I’ve always wanted to be a fighter. When I asked to do karate, momma said “Ladies don’t fight” and put me in ballet instead. Throughout the years I’ve told myself I didn’t have the money, I didn’t have the time, I wasn’t flexible enough, I didn’t want to get hurt, I was too fat. It all boiled down to fear. Fear that I…

N.O.-Xplode 2.0 Pre-Workout Question
Anyone else drink this? It gives me CRAZY energy and I definitely feel a difference with my lifts, like there's just more oomph behind it. My problem is that it makes me feel super nauseous for a few hours. I was drinking it right after mixing, but the fizz and the nausea were not a good mixture, so I've started to let it…

New to Powerlifting - n00b question
Hey all! Two Questions. 1.) Is Wilks a decent way to compare strength between weight classes / sexes? Is there a different, preferred method? It looks like that's the method the Maryland State Powerlifting Assoc. uses - curious if that's standard. 2.) What's your Wilks? (squat/bench/deadlift) Mine is 192.87, got a looooong…

Hi, I'm new...kind of.
Not really. I've been on and off MFP for a long time. I've made progress, done some backsliding, two steps forward, three steps back. I've tried out almost all of the features of MFP - charts/graphs, calorie/macro counting, lurking in the success stories threads for motivation...the one thing I haven't tried - I've never…

Failed Experiment
I don't drink coffee very often, but occasionally I'll get that 3:30 feeling and enjoy a nice warm pick-me-up. I don't drink it very often because I realize that I don't really like coffee. What I like is warm, coffee flavored cream and sugar. Soooo, I thought, why not add flavor without the empty calories by making a cafe…

Ladies, what are your 1RMs?
I'm just starting out with powerlifting - only about a month in to training. I'm interested to see a range of PR's, maybe get some inspiration/motivation and some numbers to chase.

Jekyll & Hyde
I just realized this morning, there are two people living in my body. Almost literally; based on the number on the scale and BMI charts, half of my body weight would comfortably make up one “normal” sized person. But I mean this figuratively. There’s a Dr. Jekyll and a Ms. Hyde sharing my headspace. Week day mornings, I’m…
