Nearing "Underweight", please help meeeee
Okay, so I know this is probably a totally overdone subject, because everyone always wants to know the same thing here (how to gain weight) and everyone always gives the same answer (EAT MORE! LIFT ALL THE THINGS!) and I totally respect those answers, buuuuuutttttttttt..... I'm on topamax (which as some of you may know is…

Partial Squats
Just started Stage 3 and I have a question about the one-legged partial squats. Would it be a terrible idea to switch them for pistol squats instead? I find that only going down part of the way is uncomfortable, and I get more of a workout doing pistol squats instead. Is there some kind of benefit to doing partials instead…

Rugged Maniac 5k
Just saw an ad for this OCR. Anyone have any experience with it/knowledge about it? How it compares to other OCRs? (Tough Mudder, Spartan, etc.)

Fat Caliper
Thought I'd post this here because... knowledgeable people? Anyhoo, I'm looking to buy a caliper for home (preferably from Amazon because gift cards), and there are a buttload of them out there. Does it really make a difference if I buy the $5 vs. the $25 one? Anyone have any experience with purchasing/owning/using a…

Am I shooting myself in the foot?
I'm currently restarting New Rules of Lifting for Women, and I wanted to add in the Zombies! Run! 5k training program on my rest days. I'm not brand new to running, I'd just like to improve my times a little bit/have something to do on my days off. The Zombies! Run! program is only 8 weeks long, so I'll be part of the way…

Dumb dumbbell question
Hi all, I'm Erin and I'm new here. I posted this question on the Fitness section of the forums, but I figured I'd ask you knowledgeable people here: I want to do a progressive lifting program (like SL5x5 or SS) but I don't have a barbell (yet - fingers crossed for Christmas). I DO, however, have dumbbells (yaaaay) and they…

"Rest Day"
Quick question for all of you doing ICF5x5, SL5x5, SS or other such structured workout programs: When the program prescribes a rest day (3 days a week, 4 rest days, for example), do you take the day off or do you do some active rest (yoga, light cardio)? I'm just starting out, so I know it will get more difficult as I go…

At Home Lifting
I've read through a number of threads here to try to find one answering this question, but I've had no luck so far. My apologies if this is a repeat. I don't have access to a gym (I live in the middle of BF nowhere and can't get to one), so I've been doing Sworkit, NTC and Nike Kinect at home. Mostly body weight stuff,…

Office Treat - Cake
Okay guys, I need some support here. Cake is being served at my office in a little while because someone is leaving. I know for a fact that it is not delicious cake, but sometimes when they're passing it around, I just can't help myself. I need a list of foods more delicious than store bought cake that I theoretically…
