Thank you. I think I am past the really difficult part. I didn't simply go cold turkey from 4 per night. What I did was cut it to 3 per night for a couple of months, then 2, then 1, and finally none....

I know myself too well to imagine that I could have beer "just on weekends" and stay away from it the rest of the week. That is why only eliminating it 100% works for me.

So far, I have not made any changes to my excersise routine. I may give it a month for things to stabilize before I do. For some time now, I have been lifting at least three times a week and doing at...

I decided to do this on my own, and I did it on my own. Not only is the drinking itself over with, but the desire is also gone. There is some "antsiness", but I am smart enough (and strong-willed...

In spite of cutting back, I felt like I was being controlled by it rather than vice-versa. In particular, I always made sure I was home at "beer time" even if this meant cutting other activities...

I was a heavy beer drinker for many, many years. Even fairly recently, I was drinking 4 per night (a substantial reduction.) I have now quit entirely and am a strict teetotaler, with my only...

I knew a guy who could pick up a car wheel, grab the tire, and yank it off. His nickname was "Bear", and it suited him!

Can you say "salmonella"?

Straight legs were never an option for me. My dip stand isn't that tall.

I do one-arm pushups and one-leg squats at work. They don't require much space. So far, noone has noticed, but if they did I would say that I was "stretching".

According to Pavel, one can stay in great shape using ONLY those two exercises. Of course, you have to get to where you can do them in the first place.

I had no idea. As I said, I have only ever seen very light ones.

Those were going to be my exact words.

Say what?! Bodybuilders want to be healthy, correct? Nobody is going to stay healthy very long without doing cardio. 30 minutes 2-3 times a week is considered minimum by most doctors.

The heaviest medicine ball I have seen is only 15 lbs. It doesn't seem like that is enough weight to do much good.

I didn't know it was possible to hum death metal. Seems like it would give you a sore throat.

The number of threads about forearm training has gotten ridiculous. Is there a way to consolidate them into one thread? Maybe make it a sticky?

Most of the people I have met that do hard manual labor do not need to work out. They get strong by doing their jobs.

THAT might just be the answer. I haven't been in a real gym since I started using my home gym 6 or 7 years ago. Maybe going to one would be motivation in itself.

There are times when I have seriously considered giving it up. I used to be scrawny and weak, though, and I don't want to be that way again. (I suppose one option would be to do enough to maintain...
