It's been about a year and a half since I injured both of my hip flexors. It hasn't been going well, it ended up developing into "piriformis syndrome". PAIN IN THE ASS!! The flexors are still crap,...

Gotta say...

WHAT summer?

Hubby and I bought a season pass to the local (outdoor) pool. Got like 3 uses out of it! What a waste!

It'd have to be behind the neck :)

Thanks!! Will try to catch up on posts over the next while, would love to see how everyone's doing!

ps: yes, I went up 3lbs on my 1 rep on the bench. Better yet, my last 1 rep (120) was obtained...

Hey everyone!

I've been gone for a long freaking time. Missed one month of gym time due to crazy travel schedule (2 weeks), then 2 weeks of a very sick husband.. got in ONE DAY before losing...

Thanks for asking! Rehab has come a LONG ways! I'm back training on inline freestyle (like ice Figure skating, but on inline figure skates fitted with a toe stop). Have made it through two practices,...

All you really have to do to get your spouse to eat better is to cook healthy meals that are YUMMY. Not "oh, this is better than my nasty protein powder" yummy, but actually yummy. Know what I mean?...

Thank you kindly GymMouse :)

Well, yesterday was a bit of a breakthrough for me.

My arms must be getting bigger, some of my shirts are now annoyingly tight in the sleeve. That makes me happy, lol!

Hubby's progress is...

Nah, I wouldn't call it sad. I've fantasized about having my own leg press since I was like 15!

Bought one like a year ago or so. Though we've since found and awesome gym and sold the majority of...

Yep! That's who I looked up to. Too bad she's a Peta freak now :(

I always had a hard time with the role model thing in skating when I was a kid, cause most of the women (and now, a lot of the...

You know what's funny?

There are two leg presses, side by side. One has 500 lbs as the start (bolted down), the other starts at 90.

Hubby can't do the 500 yet, and I warm up on it now.. so...

Gotta say.. I'm disappointed in their choice of figure skater.

Surya Bonaly as a GREAT body, and would have made a better addition. Or hell, in addition to Tara Lipinski. That kid is NOT healthy...

923 for the 1 rep max calculator, anyway. I can't remember what the actual weight was - I think a bunch of reps at 850?

At the same time I'm working up to 1000, I'm working DOWN from it, too....

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the kind words! I had really intended to just never look back, but a couple of you convinced me otherwise... thanks for checking in with me!

I now think that a better...

You said it CAN'T happen. I prove it can.

"EDIT: And with all due respect, you weigh 260 pounds because of YOUR behavior. YOU ate the calories that you didn't need that caused fat gain. You can't...

Hey guys,

I just wanted to post a quick goodbye. It's become quite apparent that this forum is just not a healthy place to be for me. I'm tired of the genetically/cicumstantially "lucky" ones...

No, actually, you're wrong there.. but thanks for making assumptions.

I didn't choose to get in a car accident (hit by a drunk driver!) and have my thyroid decide to completely **** off on me. I...

Medical Dr.

2 things.

1 - There are all kinds of body types, and not everyone reacts the same way to ANYTHING (calories, exercise, etc). People gain muscle, lose weight, GAIN weight, etc etc for all kinds of...
