Tell me a joke, mr. Jokey Jokester!
Give me your best shot. I'll start. So this old man is on his death bed. His family is there with him to say their last goodbyes. First is his eldest son, a strapping young lad with a bright future ahead of him. He puts his hand on his father's shoulder and says goodbye. Next is his daughter, a beautiful, young girl with…

How much do you bench?
How much do I hate answering that question? It seems to me that flamingos and peacocks seem to enjoy lying on their backs more than being in any other position. A male acquaintance of mine, who I might have viewed as 'competition' asked me this question. I don't like sharing my lift numbers and, if I did, I don't really…

Trolling PS Home
I made a trolling character on home. I used every slider and option to make her as ugly as possible and went around doing the model pose and blowing people kisses. Some people tried to run away, so I had to chase them down. It was loads of fun, but, as fate would have it, karma blew out the lamp in my tv and now I'm…

Stephenie Meyer ripped off Charlaine Harris (?)
Twilight vs. True Blood: the epic battle begins! Don't you just hate when the twilight fanboys/girls swear up and down that twilight was an original idea that came to her in a dream in 2003? I mean, come on, seriously? Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining. There's the 'special' girl has to choose between the…

A bromantic night on the town (question)
Ok, so you're a guy going out on the town with a guy friend, or basically any platonic friend of a gender that you're not romantically interested in, which, in my case would be a dude. Say you go to a bar and grill or a pub, something like that for dinner and maybe a couple of beers. Maybe it's a friend you haven't seen in…

What is considered 'cheating' (mature relationships)
What do you consider cheating? For me, I have what I call 'the golden rule'. That is, I go where she goes, period. That pretty much rules out swapping / borrowing / lending and includes any expression of sexuality/emotional attachment between people regardless of gender. Maybe that sounds restrictive to some, but not…

Creatine question
I just started a creatine cycle and 2 lbs just fell off. I thought I would start retaining some water weight. What's the deal? Maybe just a weird reaction thing? Not noticing any side effects or anything like that. I just started on Saturday. That morning I was 209.5, same on Sunday morning, then this morning 207.5.

Nightmares
I kept having this nightmare all night long that my man part kept falling off and wouldn't stay on. At one point I lost it. Anyone know anything about dream interpretation and what it could mean?

The Fly
So I was at the gym last night doing my routine... I had a hand towel, because I'm a sweaty mess when I lift weights. I was doing bench press and stopped between sets to wipe my face with the towel. At that moment a fly flew right at my face. I wiped my forehead with a dead fly.

Increased my tendinitis gains!
I've had wrist tendinitis for a long time and made it a lot worse putting together a breakfast nook. Does anyone else out there with wrist tendinitis know any good exercises that helped? Thanks.

Getting in shape for the zombie apocalypse
Everyone seems to be scared of december 2012 when the mayan long count calendar recycles, end of the world and all that. I see it as an opportunity. If the world is going to be overrun with zombies, then let's get in shape so we can kill lots of zombies! Who's with me?

Goal weight: how important is it to you?
When I joined MVP I originally set my goal weight to 180. When I was 'skinny' I weighed anywhere from 155 to 175, so I thought that 180 was being modest, until I did a couple sessions with a personal trainer and had my bodyfat percentage taken. At that point I changed my goal weight to 200. Thistles was still a while back…

measurements discrepency
Ok so I've lost over 80 lbs since June. I weigh and measure every two weeks (on Sunday or Monday, since I don't go to the gym on weekends normally). All my measurements have been going down, but my neck circumference has gone up nearly a full inch. Neck bloat? I never had a fat neck even when I was really fat though. I got…

stronglifts 5x5 week 13
Last squat 235 lbs. 5x5 at 266 lbs. Bodyweight. Howdy. Anyone else out there found the prophet, Mehdi? I survived my first 12 weeks without any stalls. I'm currently in week 13 and I just had my first stall last night on the overhead press. I'm pretty bummed out. I'm trying to lose major weight at the same time so I knew…

Weight fluctuation when you're sick with col/flu/allergy sym
Anyone else notice that you're weight jumps up when you're sick? Mine jumped up about 5 lbs for a couple days this week while I've been battling something. I'm beating it now and the extra lbs just went away. I had a lot of sinus drainage and congestion.

Low fat diets? I don't get it...
Maybe I'm just a noob, but I don't understand how you can stimulate protein folding into muscle tissue without amino acids from dietary fats. How do you get growth hormone into your bloodstream while on a low fat diet? So many people try to give me advice as soon as they notice I'm losing weight and recommend low fat diet.…

Swimming & calories burned
Are the calories burned for swimming actually correct? I can swim all day if left in a pool. Seems like cheating or something.

Help! Am I a freak of nature?
Ok, I started out with well more than 100 lbs to lose 2 months ago. I started at ~340 lbs and doing 1800 - 1900 calorie diet. My first month I lost 22 lbs, so I decided to step it up and get a gym membership. I started doing a weight lifting routine and a little bit of cardio. This month my weight loss started to slow…

Does milk really do a body good?
ugh, I just finished a 12 in italian sub from subway overloaded with veggies. I had to split it in half and ate each half in 2 hour intervals, but now my stomach hurts.... I may have gotten too used to eating small amounts at a time due to my low calorie diet. Has anyone tried supplimenting calories with 2% or whole milk?…
