Technique: Hard-boiled egg whites
I just thought I'd share this. I recently learned this method to make hard-boiled egg whites. I use it to make egg salad without the yolks. You just put some liquid egg whites into a measuring cup and boil the cup. Make sure you use a measuring cup that can handle it, like pyrex. Cover and boil about 15 minutes or so until…

bulking protein & fat intake question
I weigh 140 pounds and I'm currently bulking. I have no problem at all meeting my protein and fat goals. . For protein I'm aiming for 1g per pound of body weight and for fat I'm aiming for .4g per poung of body weight (56 g) per day, with the rest mostly carbs. My question is, will I hurt my gains by going much over these…

Requesting opinions on how to move forward
Hey guys, I'm a 28-year-old guy, 5'10", 136 lbs. Starting about a year ago, I bulked for six months, and then cut for six months. I'm back to the weight I started at, leaner, and much stronger. For my cut I've been training 3x per week, doing minimal cardio, eating 2100 to 2200 calories per day, and losing about a half a…

Easy cheesecake flavoring
The other day I had the idea of flavoring a cheesecake using those Duncan Hines Flavor Creations packets for flavoring cake icing. I just added one packet to gp79's original recipe and it turned out great (as long as you don't mind artificial colors and flavors). I made an orange cream cheesecake.…

The L word
The word "liberal" gets a pretty bad rap, but why? What does "liberal" mean to you? I've seen multiple users in this group make broad generalizations about liberals but get defensive if someone makes a similar generalization about conservatives or republicans. I don't think any such generalizations are helpful at all. Here…

Guys - where do you measure your waist?
I want to use the correct waist measurement to calculate my body fat. I've seen at the navel, above the navel, below it. Widest and narrowest. I get about an inch difference depending on where I measure.

Squatting and Deadlifting
I was wondering if anybody has made any modifications to the squat and deadlift aspect of strong lifts. I was thinking about only squatting on one of the workouts instead of two and increasing deadlift to 5x5. Either that or keep squats in both workouts and still increase deadlift. I guess I just enjoy deadlifting. Any…

WOW-playing candidate wins election
I don't play WOW, but this is still pretty cool. I remember hearing about how Maine republicans tried to use WOW against her, showing ads saying things like "Tell her to spend less time in a fantasy world, and more time in the real world."…

How do I get my wife to stop lifting heavy?
Hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble at home lately. Recently, my wife has gotten into lifting heavy weights. How can I tell her to stick to cardio with the rest of the ladies without sounding like a total jerk? I told her than men don't really like women who lift, but she said I should love her no matter what. She's…

Working hard enough?
Hey guys, I've been doing NROL for a few months now. I did break in, strength 1, and now I'm halfway through strength 2. Whenever I do the workouts with high reps (3 sets of 15, 2 sets of 25, etc.), I get sore afterwards. I don't get sore when I do higher weight with low reps (5 x 5, 6 x 3). You think that means I'm not…

NPR report on Paleo diet
Heard this this morning on my way to work about a guy in New York writing and blogging about his "caveman lifestyle." It's interesting to listen to, but no new information really. The take home message is that it's more important to keep your calories and weight under control than to eat any one way. It did make me want a…

Bloating after every meal
I'm hoping to find someone who's been in my situation and found an answer. For several months, maybe more, I get really bloated after every meal. Usually by 30 minutes later I'm absolutely huge! I look pregnant! Sometimes it will happen on an empty stomach or after having only a glass of water. There's no pain, and I don't…
