I should probably take a moment to point out that I probably won't be able to write in here on a fixed schedule. I do a lot of activities outside of my house so when I'm actually home to relax I...

This guy also had a clear journal where he recorded the process for him:...

Haha preeeetty much. I work a desk job so should be stretching my legs/everything more than I do...have yet to think of a way to do it that wouldn't get met lots of stares from coworkers :D

Figured it's about time I start a journal after all of the lurking I do :p

Bit of background: I've spent a lot of time playing contact sports over the last 10 years or so, with some weight-lifting...

I miss wrestling, that caused my strength to explode faster than anything I've ever done since. Not to mention it's super fun too :D

Have you played rugby before? If not, be prepared to love it....

I'm with thepowerwithin; curly hair that dries quite easily so I pretty much don't ever use shampoo, just wash/scrub with conditioner. It's done amazing things for my hair. I can go several days...

Huh. I never considered this, thanks for the point of view.

I do agree with sy2502 though, it's a different kind of pushing. But you still have the discipline to keep going hard!

Yes it is a problem. Amenohrrea carries with it the risk of loss in bone density. That is not something you want to deal with at any age, especially when you're in your 20s and should be maintaining...

How often have you stalled and how often did you do a full reset of the lifts that did?

FWIW I'm 10 lbs. heavier than you and my numbers when I really stalled out were almost exactly the same as...

b) wearing belts around my waist with baggier shirts/sweaters/etc.
c) wearing more tailored items...

For a long time I always dated older guys. Only once have I dated a guy my own age, and that was in high school. After that, they were all older than me, by 3 to 8 years. I didn't...

It's the 21st century! Laptop, smartphone, tablet...take your pick. All the better to serve you my dear, I know how you hate to wait when you're hungry.

Sorry but just finished the dishes. Need better timing than that if you want a sammich.

You're right :D

...sadly on both counts. Always people you can pay off in this world..

Selfless =/= selfish... I think she's getting what she's looking for ;)

Haha thanks. I figure if I'm asking for advice, I better listen and appreciate it, ya know? ;)

Hmm ok, consensus seems to be they're not bad...they feel strange though. Maybe just getting used to them again? I'll try again with heavier weight then. Thanks!

Thanks, the weight is on the lighter side but I just came back from a few months off so hadn't want to jump too far in. I've been seeing similar advice on the shoes before for other people...do they...

Thanks for the set-up vid! The first demo where they say "the wrong way to start" that's what I do...toooo many steps.

And I got around to taking a video. Definitely looks like I'm leaning too far...
