Nice CL find! I'm jealous. I got my powerblock sport dumbells and a hoist (1000lb cap.) bench for $200 (that was a pretty good deal) but no stand and only 50 lbs per dumbell.

PS nice gym -- just...

Put the cork in the bottle a couple years back so I'm sort of familiar with this topic (periodically comes up on my favorite support forum; nobody uses the search function there either)

Most...

I bought weights, a bar and a rack, and a 1000-lb adjustable bench and 50-lb powerblock dbs (the last two for $120 for both).

Sure, they've had stretches of dust collection or laundry drying, but...

I think whether you are 18 or 45 or greater the question should be, "will my quality of life improve if I train?" and the answer is undoubtedly "yes" for most humans. It matters little whether my...

Three days per week in the basement dungeon gym, and that is plenty for me. I work from home so unless they drag me into the office for a monthly meeting life is pretty efficient. Without a commute I...

1) Effort is good but consistency is king. Progress in life is made by showing up every time, snow rain sleet hail or dark of night, hung-over or hung-out, you just gotta do it.

2) Some people are...

Weight loss isn't usually a straight line on the graph. Better get used to the idea or it's gonna be a frustrating twelve weeks.

That's not enough information to know if you're overtraining or not (how long is your workout? how much training is "cardio?), but you're probably not.

You might ease up on the cardio if you're...

I think you gotta get more out of it than "I gained five pounds of muscle in 2015" otherwise you're setting yourself up for...

I would back off training frequency or at least take a day off. You don't want to start hating or dreading your workouts.

As long as you keep training on a consistent schedule of progression with...

I'd do a basic 5x5 and get a part-time job, something fun. Never hurts to tuck away some rainy day money and keep adding to the resume, school doesn't last forever.

I am seeing the bar path wander forward a little on the descent. Mechanically the bar path should follow a relatively straight vertical path above the feet. If you hold a straight edge (like a piece...

Nice milestone, nice progress!

Anyone call you an e-statter and neg you yet for posting a PR without video proof?

I don't think burn centers collect skin to graft onto people because the immune system rejects other people's skin/organs (skin is an organ). In organ transplant situations we use immune suppressing...

It never occurred to me that anyone would find that objectionable. It wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

I have a big emory board that's intended for filing off heel calluses, works well for keeping finger calluses under control and sanded smooth so they don't rip.

My gymnast friend used to sear his...

Start those 529 plan contributions as soon as you can, financing a college education is a real kick in the wallet. And congratulations! :)

I don't think there is much you can do about it, and it's kinda not worth worrying about. Your chances of early death by cardiac event or stroke will be hugely lower if you drop some of that weight....

Sure, that fantastic diet looks good during the first few months, when you're on a food honeymoon. But after a few years, the spark starts to fade. Coming home to the same steamed chicken. The same...

Three pounds? Probably a lot of that is due to fluctuations in water retention. Depending on what I eat, I can be 2-3 lbs heavier due to water retention in less than 24 hours. On the other side of...
