I was in a similiar type of situation a while back. Short on time but didn't just want to do cardio.

If you're pressed for time the main things will be using your time effectively (i.e. not...

We've been married now for almost 14 years and trust me, this is no fake relationship. It's called empathy and knowing which battles to pick. Could I be a prick and try to get her to change her...

I started squatting in bare feet after reading that runners/cross-trainers provide too much cushioning and destabilize the heels when pushing down hard. After warm up sets I remove my shoes and step...

If I know what's good for me I eat everything my wife cooks. She's a great cook, but her cooking is very high in carbs (lots of pastas/breads, finger foods). It's not ideal, but if that means I have...

I'm into week 3 of the armstrong program and have started to notice a bit of difference, particularly on 4th/5th sets. Question though: I'm only going to be able to make it into the gym 4 days x...

While dropping weight (about 35 lbs of fat) I was drinking diet coke. Still do occasionally. 1) It's better than a sugar-loaded full cola/soda alternative, and 2) because of the carbonation makes...

Starting strength is a great book, but I've heard (haven't read it myself) that Practical Programming is more towards coaching.

There's **tonnes** of information online about Starting Strength...

Sweet tooth gets me every time. Mainly chocolates, but also donuts (mmm, tim horton's...).

Also, when I travel I usually like to make sure I get a chance to sample the local cuisine specialties...

100 consecutive pushups, 5 handstand pushups
20 consecutive pullups (deadhang)
10K run in under 50 min (about 7 min. faster than my previous best)
Squat 300x5
Deadlift 300x8

Built up decent...

I used bands before I could do pull-ups without assistance and they worked great.

Starting from not being able to do a single pull-up, I worked at it with lat pull-downs and pull-ups w/ bands....

Two weeks in and I'm down about 3-5 lbs. Started doing a short yoga routine in the mornings though to stretch/loosen up though cause I was waking up really stiff in the hips, traps and shoulders.

Tried it last week once, and am now starting on it 3x week to see how it works out. Will also start supplementing with a fat burner. So far each workout leaves me totally burned. I still feel the...

Try this type of program, it's been proven with hundreds of thousands of runners. It may seem really really basic, but it's a run/walk program that starts off easy and then will build up your...

[QUOTE=blabber;168925251]Extremely hot coffee seems to cause the powder to clump and not blend well. QUOTE]

I do it all the time, usually with my first coffee in the morning on waking or else...

Most CrossFit facilities will make you take a 4-hour "fundamentals" course. The cost for this varies from location to location but it can be up to $200. The purpose of the fundamentals course is to...

I'm training to gain weight so I've been eating at least a few tablespoons a day. Sometimes right out of the jar, sometimes on crackers or a bagel. Love the stuff, but when it gets time to lose fat...

Skiing/snowboarding are good if you're both able to do the same level of runs. I'm not sure how long the runs are at Big Bear, but when I've taken my kids to the Rockies the issue is usually more of...

I feel the same way about the term "asian". If you've looked on a globe lately Asia's still a pretty big continent. Has over half of the world's population, yet North Americans tend to paint all...

I had the exact same problem, particularly on pulling exercises - rows, pull-ups, deadlifts, etc. I ordered a Captain of Crush gripper and having been working on grip strength for a couple of months...
