Chest press & pendly rows
Any correlation in weights? Should you be lifting about the same for one as the other? What should I be expecting out of myself

how would you log this?
I'm not sure how to log this, I had 32 ounces of Chiobani Plain on Monday, I've logged a cup (8oz) a day every day this week (eyeballing a cup), so I should have run out of Chiobani yesterday. I have gotten to the end of the week with a cup still in the container. So, am I eating Chobani for free today?

I flocking hate voter inquiry calls
Someone just called with one (on my cell phone) looking for my opinion. One thing that I've learned over the years is that not a single one of this is without bias. They have questions to ask and if you don't answer the question they way they want to develop their skewed result they continue to narrow the questions and…

The things I hate about working in an office building
1) Public rest rooms - A) If you sprinkle when you tinkle please be neat and wipe the seat - learn it, love it, live it people. B) an automatic flusher isn't a guarantee that everything goes down, do the double check. 2) when there are 2 microwaves on a floor of about 50 - 75 people why would you abandon your lunch in one…

Working out at home equipment
I know there's a post around here somewhere about this and I can't find it. I've just had a lovely woman send me an email inquiring about home equipment and I wanted to link her to the answer. Can someone show me or bump it so that I can send it to her? Also, do you think this is something else I should sticky? I'm worried…

What music would you want to hear?
I’m teaching a Tabata class this Saturday (20 seconds all out as hard as you can go, 10 seconds rest, same exercise for 4 minutes and then switch to the next exercise and repeat). I’m trying to put together a play list and realized a few weeks ago that most of my personal music is explicit, the music may not have any (or…

Link for prepopulated log
Does anyone have the link for the website with the prepopulated logs? The one where you have to enter a password (the first couple of words from one of the chapters). I thought I had it book marked, but I’m not finding it on my computer. I found this especially helpful as I’d never kept a log before, and it helped me to…

It really burns my butt
When people have their profiles set to private . . . it makes it very difficult to stalk them. (and chili)

Pube-lic
So, I love the shot of the "V" on a man . . . *licks lips.* I can't help but notice that on some of the pictures, as I'm trolling on through with my dirty little mouse pointer, that some pictures cut it a little closer than others when it comes to announcing the man's grooming status . . . thoughts on pubes becoming public…

Do you tell them or let them figure it out on their own?
I have a slightly unusual first name because of the spelling, but the name itself is relatively common. There's a man who works on my floor who is very polite and likes to greet me by my first name. I gave it to him. He called me by something completely different the first few times so I corrected him. Now the error is…

How do you running hiit?
How do you running hiit? I’ve been playing with numbers and times trying to figure out how I want to hiit my running. I tabata 20/10 . . . but I don’t run tabata I plyo, push up, ab work, yadda yadda tabata. I’ve tried 45/30, 90/30, 60/30, and yesterday I saw one of my mpf’s say he 30/30’s. (on/off). I’ve been doing it on…

talk to me about hypertrophy
I've read a few things on here and around the webs about hypertrophy (in particular in regards to using machines after free weights), but I believe I'm misunderstanding the meaning. Basically what I've read is that hypertrophy is basically making the muscles bigger and that there's 2 types: the 1 rep max type (olympic…

calling cartoon junkies
A mfp was just "talking" about a robot aerobics instructor from a cartoon she used to watch. She's in her 30's so we'll say from a cartoon 15 - 25 years ago. Any ideas?

Gluten Free Protein Powder Suggestions

Anyone know anything about a 3 volt battery?
Are they all created equal? I bought 2025's, I took the battery out of my hrm and it was a 2032 or something like that . . . does it matter?

Started this program, but hesitant
Just to start, I did read his letter, but I'm still concerned about functional strength over appearance. I love the lean musclely look, don't get me wrong (my mfp's know what I'm talking about), but my primary concern is functional strength. Through his letter he keeps showing results and talking about Mr. Universe this…

How did you decide on your tatoo?
Speaking of tatoos, how did you decide what you wanted permanently on your body? The hubs and I talk about tatoos all the time, neither of us have one and we both debate getting them. His desired tatoo has never changed, so I really think he should just bite the bullet and get it, he's never faultered on what he wants. I…

Interesting read: "Fat Talk"
I hope the link works, but it's for an article on Real Age: http://www.realage.com/diet-weight-loss/fat-talk-is-bad-for-weight-loss?eid=1010664934&memberid=23459097&cbr=SALE1200077 Body image is so important, when people I know start talking poorly about themselves I always tell them that they need to change their minds to…

My body ideal is different than yours
People just don't get it, and we're so much harder on women on this site than we are on the men. Seriously, think about it, we look at the guys and say "he's not my type" and look at the women and say something nasty and degrading and derogatory. The women on here are beautiful. We sometimes forget that while we're…

PLEASE READ - RE: REPORTING
Morning, ladies. So it would seem that when someone reports activity in a group the notification is not pushed via email, you actually have to access the "community" tab in the website to see moderator notificaitons. I'm very sorry for not addressing the issue posted on the boards yesterday afternoon, but it would appear…

Different kind of rant & question about the hubs
My DH is a sweet and wonderful man. He's gentle, thoughtful (generally, but who doesn't put their foot in their mouth from time to time), and sensitive. He's also seriously nostalgic. We've lived in our house for 8 years, about 4 years in I came home and he had filled, I mean seriously filled, our walls with pictures of…

How long of a run to carry water?
At what distance do you decide to start carrying water? My longest run so far was 7 miles and I don't carry water, but I'm starting to have issues rehydrating.

Question for tri-athletes
This is just a general training question. When I was training for a triathelon a few years ago I when I was swimming I would focus on swimming, when I was biking I would focus on biking, and when I was running I would focus on running. The triathelon group that trains at my facility focuses on biking when biking, running…

Should I deduct it?
I was listening to the radio this morning and heard a preview for today's episode of "The doctors.". He said that at any given time there are 3 1/2 pounds of bacteria living in your gut. So my question is from now on when I weigh myself should I deduct 3 1/2 pounds in "bacteria estimate." (on a side note the episode is…

the final push, cellulite on the donk
Do I have to remove all tastiness from my diet to reduce the appearance of cellulite on my donker? As you can see from my pic, my tummy isn't my problems area, it's my ba-donk-a-donk and thighs. Heredity and self abuse have created quite a few unslighly warbly areas and I'd like to really get those down. I know that…

who's doing a mud run, which type, and what training?
I'm doing a marine corps mud run next month and need to figure out my training to prepare for it. Any ideas would be appreciated. I know that there are others on here that have done one and I'm curious about the distance (they've added another mile this year) and how you prepared or are preparing for it. In case you're…
