The trainer I have worked with for 3 years does my programs on google docs spreadsheets. I train with him once a week and work out on my own two other days a week, but he programs everything. The...

I tried weights (never very heavy) a couple of times, and was "hooked" in the sense that I could see results faster than I got from just doing cardio. But I still looked at it as "getting in shape",...

This doesn't sound like something to work through. my DH has had surgery on both shoulders, and you are right it is a very painful, difficult rehab that you want to avoid!

I am not familiar with...

I have never seen those before, lol. Since it's a flip-flop,it's easy to take the shoe off to open the bottle. So less mess than turning the bottle sideways to use the metal plate thing on the edge...

Lolol!



These are funny but still look cool. They look like feet from a gorilla costume, like from a really low budget Planet of the Apes. And I invariably visualize them with red toenail...

Agree it is likely water weight fluctuations.

However, if it is not water, you probably lost muscle and gained back fat. No way you can put on 5 pounds of muscle overnight, in a week, or a...

Even if you can't lose fat and build muscle literally at the same time (and 25% bf doesn't seem fat enough to allow for this), I think you can alternate these on such a small scale that it SEEMS like...

Why not deadlifts? Is it because the lift can be so slow that it's too long without oxygen?

Your diet looks very high carb overall. A very grainy whole wheat bread is dense, with over 100 cal per slice; the "cleaner" you are in this regard, meaning less processed, the denser the product is...

I don't know Perumina, but you are shorter than I am, and that's a lot more! :) I could never wear high waisted pants or skirts, the waistband would squash down and wrinkle so much it looked bad...

OP, both Erin and BTO are right really. If you are putting on body fat too quickly, you are taking in more calories than your training warrants.

It will be well worth your time, on the diet...

Why does DOMS not affect all muscle groups? And have nothing to do with going to failure? Is this just me, or true for everyone? And what does that say about the possible cause? Maybe different...

Comes down to your bone structure and relative width of hips, rib cage, and shoulders. Also how long waisted you are -- space between bottom of my ribs and hip bone is maybe 2 inches, max. :( ...

The ab fad comes from mistaking leanness for muscularity. I bet marathon runners have a visible 6 pack without doing ab work. Postural use of abs in training and life is enough for them to show if...

I'm so dense! :p

BRB crossing "learn something new" off today's to-do list.

Looking at the last 2 vids, your hips moved up a lot more on the second, before the bar even broke the ground. Keep your hips low the whole time you are pushing and waiting for the bar to move. I...

A phrase that mark rippetoe used in Strong Enough was "grim determination". It was in the chapter discussing older lifters. ;)

No way to see this on teh intrawebz.

The common element in"cheating" is deception. Deception in small things has a way of making it easier to rationalize deception in big, important things. An affair represents complete betrayal by...

Protein powder and water slurry. Although I eat pretty well, it would never add up to enough protein for the day without these. Lets me add in calories in 100 kcal increments with 18g protein to...

I'm just up the road in Austin. SA is my next fave city in Texas -- lots of good memories from every time I've been there, starting with a high school Alamo field trip waaay back when... :).

Lol...
