Glad you got off the meds and feel better!

What kind of cardio routine did you do?

Did you do any weight lifting or resistance exercise? If so, what was your routine?

Doctor said he'd like to see me drop 80-100 lbs, then he might be able to get me off the meds.

I was about 220 lbs one year ago, but shot up to 279 lbs in one year which is when I ended up in the...

Cardio has lowered my BP more than any of these meds have been able to do. Throughout the day, my BP while taking meds and sitting at my desk fluctuates between 125/80 to 138/85.

After I go for a...

Thanks. I guess it's confirming to hear others had similar issues, but eventually the strength came back.

I appreciate the plea to not go off the meds on my own. I've been contemplating stopping...

I had been training for the last 4 years and doing well, then about 1 month ago, I ended up in the Emergency Room. Turns out I had high blood pressure (Hypertension), my BP numbers were through the...

OK, it's an oxymoron. But, what's the cleanest BBQ sauce out there? Best I could find is "Kinder's Roasted Garlic BBQ Sauce" at Safeway.

Are you using straps or chalk or nothing for grip?

I'm pulling only 195 (just started deadlifts last week) for x10 reps for x4 sets, and find the barbell rolling and held by the ends of my fingers...

You reminded me of another one: MSG!
Headaches, nausea, near-puking, numb rubbery skin (oddly in the face) -- that's exactly how I react to MSG.

Never been to Moe's, sounds like a wonderful...

I *never* see anyone doing walking dumbbell lunges with any weight. I grab 55 lb'ers and take 20 lunging strides, 10 out and 10 back, x4 sets. You can hear me psyching myself up to do them...

Thought maybe I was catching the flu.
Rest? Most time I've ever taken off is 3 days of rest. Haven't taken any time off from eating clean except 1-2 cheat meals a week, which aren't horribly that...

Bummers.

I'm still paying the price for over 1 year now since I ripped something in my shoulder/delt doing cable cross-overs with way too much weight. First of all, there is no reason for me to be...

I've been training for over 1.5 years without loss of intensity. I've dropped 40 lbs of fat, and my diet is 90% clean (1-2 cheat meals a week), and this whole time I can't remember ever feeling sick...

Did it move? That's the sign, Jerry! That's the test if it moves.

When I go on vacation, I pack my carry-on with:

shaker bottle
couple of ziploc bags of protein powder with a scoop
ziploc bag of creatine
couple of workout resistance bands.
...

...and fill the fanny pack with chalk! (and wear 3/4 gloves, just so you're covering all the bases)

I suggest:

Terry-cotton rag top sweatshirt with large neck opening. Cut the arms off, and shorten it to expose midriff.
Baggy gym hot-pants. The more color and stripes the better!
Vibram...

Well, yes, analogies are really unnecessary if you already understand the big picture. However Jesus used parables to convey a simple point so that people would go, "ah, I get it!" when it comes to...
