PSA: MFP Sweepstakes 14-22 Aug, 2025
Not sure if the MFP Staff had planned to announce this or not, sorry to steal the thunder if so. I just saw this where I normally don't browse, wanted to ensure other people like me are at least aware. Starting midnight tonight and for the next week, MFP is running a free-to-enter sweepstakes. At the end of the entry…

Weightlifting mistakes...a confession
I read the thread "your mistakes made" from the Health and Weight Loss forum, and became inspired to draft up a similar thread focused upon mistakes I've made while weightlifting, with the hope others will learn from my mistakes made over 16 years of pumping iron and not fall victim to the same. Note: I am not a certified…

Slow and steady
For the past four months, I've been restricted from weight lifting due to an elbow tendon injury. (Sure, I could've done legs only, but nah.) During that time I hit the cardio hard, figuring I may as well cut. Dropped 15 pounds in that time. Today were the twin good news of being cleared to reenter the weight room, plus my…

Quote Conversation
In this game, we are going to carry on a conversation. The rub? Only use quotes from TV shows or movies (along with citing where the quote came from). For example: "Hello, hello, hello!" (Scarface) "Do I know you? Did my wife send you?" (Ren and Stimpy) Ready? Let's begin: "Welcome to the party, pal!" (Die Hard)

Happy Star Wars Day!
May the Fourth be with you! Where are all my fellow nerds out there? I have learned to talk a good game about weightlifting and nutrition, and have a deep love of all things football (and fantasy football), but I grew up as a nerd of the first order. Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons, I talked the…

Why have I stopped gaining strength?
I was making regular progressive overload increases with my program until a few months ago, but I can't regularly hit my set/rep targets anymore. This statement was made five years ago in a different thread, and I started to type out a response until I realized not only was my answer growing excessively long, but it also…

Who says you can't get in shape at age 47?
When I graduated school, I was the stereotypical nerd: thin and gangly, big glasses, socially awkward, zero luck with the ladies. Fast forward 15 years, I had somehow found a woman who chose to marry me and together we had four children; that's me and the youngest in the photo. My wife thought it was a wonderful photo of a…
