  1. Half lb. (fractional weight plate) or some other hack?

    I do. I understand that such concerns are not important to you, and I respect that. But, to me, it is important. And, that is why I asked. I have been logging (and charting) my progression for a long time. Being able to measure my weights in even, round numbers would help me much...

  2. Half lb. (fractional weight plate) or some other hack?

    A few weeks ago, while racking my barbell after a squat (on to a Valor squat stand that I use in home-gym), I missed the racking-rest on one side. The barbell crashed down on the safety stand, and got slightly bent. It's a 7-foot long, uniformly 1-inch diameter, standard bar (max weight capacity...

  3. Double Bodyweight Deadlift Club: Check in here!

    I guess I have no choice other than to accept your informed judgment. And, I will. But, I would hate to think that there is absolutely no difference between me (pulling 1.99 x BW with straps, and no belts) and another person who does 0.75 X BW (or pulls nothing at all). [About five years...

  4. Double Bodyweight Deadlift Club: Check in here!

    All my lifts are weak as fuark. Except the deadlift. Don't know why. So, the last time I did a dead lift was yesterday (June 9, 2014) -- 4 reps of 280 lbs at a body weight of 142.0. That puts me at 197.18% of BW. However, my calculated 1RM was 305 lbs. (which puts it at 214.78% of BW). On June...

  5. Beta Alanine is toxic?

    Never mind. . . I read that report and thought it was strange. Didn't seem like it was satirical. Oh, well.

  6. Beta Alanine is toxic?

    How did you ruin it, I don't understand. I have read that Wikipedia article quite a few times in the past, along with write-ups on BodyBuilding.com, WebMD.com, Examine.com, among others. Nowhere before did I encounter what I read in the article I linked to in my original post, which is why I was...

  7. Beta Alanine is toxic?

    Nope, I am ingesting it in the usual manner. (Ingestion is the consumption of a substance by an organism. In animals, it normally is accomplished by taking in the substance through the mouth into the gastrointestinal tract, such as through eating or drinking.) The source I quoted considers...

  8. Beta Alanine is toxic?

    I just came upon this: http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9922810 If this is true, I am really screwed. I have been ingesting this "poison" daily for over six months now. What are your thoughts? ~ JC ~

  9. Help me unfatify myself

    Why they did not include another group with diet plus weights, mystifies me . . . My guess is the study was limited by resources (i.e., funding). :-/

  10. Form check request: Dragon Flags

    The first time I saw a dragon flag, I was so captivated by it, I knew I had to to try to learn it. I call it my favorite "vanity" routine. :-) I am only a self-taught, novice fitness enthusiast. I have had help from many sources, and Koing has been a great source of encouragement and valuable...

  11. Form check request: Dragon Flags

    Thank you, Koing. Appreciate the critique and the words of encouragement. You are right; I spend a lot of time resting at the top. But, I have a problem that I need fixing. I don't know how to (or whether to) breathe during the reps. For my first, rep, I usually do not breathe at all through...

  12. Form check request: Dragon Flags

    So, about a year ago, I got into my head that I want to be able to do dragon flags, Getting to the point where I could do even one, with lousy form, took months. Now, I am at the point where I can do up to four (and, on very good days, five), albeit still not with perfect form. I have a link...

  13. Minimum weight that every healthy adult male should be able to lift?

    The question from the OP had two important words: MINIMUM and EVERY. We seem to have wandered far away. SC was absolutely correct in his prediction; threads like these quickly degenerate into pissing contests.

  14. Minimum weight that every healthy adult male should be able to lift?

    There is no mention of the impact on aging . . . . possibly because you guys are all young and fit. I am 58 years old, my son is 21. He is about a half inch taller than than me and about 10% heavier. He started working out with me almost a year after I began. In six months, he was way ahead of...

  15. Squatting differently

    I read this article and, somehow, it struck a chord in me. It seems to make intuitive sense to me. how do the rest of you feel? http://themovementfix.com/the-best-kept-secret-why-people-have-to-squat-differently/

  16. Another depressing study on Fish Oil :-(

    Do you have any references to the research handy? TIA.

  17. Another depressing study on Fish Oil :-(

    No one can be sure. Not even those who are doing research in this field. There are only varying levels of confidence (or lack thereof): http://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/news/20131118/some-doctors-challenge-new-statin-guidelines...

  18. Looking for a basic unlocked GSM phone

    Other than what has already been stated in this thread, do you have additional resources that can help (in my personal efforts toward unlocking it)? TIA.

  19. Another depressing study on Fish Oil :-(

    Because what they do cannot be shown to make an appreciable difference in an outcome-based study on a large human population.

  20. Looking for a basic unlocked GSM phone

    Thanks, so very much! Truly appreciate your response. But, where does one get a $1 T-Mobile SIM card? (I have never had anything but AT&T; please pardon my ignorance.)

  21. Looking for a basic unlocked GSM phone

    During my upcoming overseas travel, I would like to use a local SIM card with a GSM phone (900/1800 bands). ATA&T refuses to unlock my Samsung Galaxy S3 because I have not had it for two years yet. Could you recommend a few online resources from where I could buy a basic, unlocked GSM...

  22. Another depressing study on Fish Oil :-(

    Big pharma pressured AMA to change the baseline lipid levels considered normal so that billions more dollars worth of statins could be sold. Another similar effort is beginning to take shape right now. Considering the "uselessness" of statins (which, by the way, I take because my GP tells me to...

  23. Another depressing study on Fish Oil :-(

    Please don't get me wrong. I am a fan of fish oil (and consume it in large quantities every day). I guess that is also why I tend to research it frequently. So, I came upon these . . . http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1357266...

  24. Breakfast full of protien, vitamin & calcium

    This is the funniest thread I've seen in a while. Good! Laughter, they say, is good for your health. ;-)

  25. Excess protein doesnt get stored in the body? It gets flushed out?

    Alan Aragon's article: http://www.wannabebig.com/diet-and-nutrition/is-there-a-limit-to-how-much-protein-the-body-can-use-in-a-single-meal/

  26. My first Cut

    For what it's worth, Rippetoe recommends Power Cleans (for beginners).

  27. My first Cut

    That was fascinating to watch! Thank you so much for sharing. :-)

  28. My first Cut

    Koing is my hero. (Even though I am likely closer to his father's age.) :-)

  29. What is your *vanity* exercise?

    I worry a lot about if/when my routines will become primarily for show. As it is, I work out at home; working out at the gym doesn't jive with my personality. So, there is no "showboating" involved. The "vanity" I had referred to, was just a personal thing. A goal set by myself, for myself...

  30. What is your *vanity* exercise?

    Thanks, mate! Appreciate the advice.

  31. What is your *vanity* exercise?

    So, I tried to switch from doing 3x15 negatives (where I would just simply hoist up my legs however, then straighten them, and bring them down straight) to doing positives. The difference was staggering! Going up is, as can be expected, substantially more difficult. It's not even funny how...

  32. Is it possible to loose wieght working out only 3 days?

    Losing weight is all about diet, specifically eating at a caloric deficit. I learned this after many years of random working out. You don't need to work out to lose weight; although theoretically, working out should help. In my case, cardio made me hungrier, and I ate up more than I spent...

  33. What is your *vanity* exercise?

    Loved watching that video! You are right . . 15 negatives are too many. I am going to transition now to doing positives. I just wanted to make sure that my abdominal (and the other associated muscles) got a bit of conditioning. I had started with bent knee negatives, then proceeded to the...

  34. What is your *vanity* exercise?

    This may be silly. But, when I was younger, and couldn't even do a single pull-up or chin-up, I used to think that the wide-grip pull-up was the most badass workout there ever was. The first time I tried, I couldn't lift myself up any more than an inch or so. Anyhow, now, many years later, I...

  35. always tired but getting enough sleep I think

    Six months ago, I dragged my butt to my physician's office when my exhaustion became unbearable. Yep, I had low thyroid. A blood test is always a good idea.

  36. I'm not going to drink today...

    Congratulations! Well done. Just make urge you create *realistic* boundaries for yourself. I understand you don't want to give up drinking altogether. Neither do I. So, I tell myself, I will let myself have a few drinks this Saturday. Now, what does "few" mean. I ensure that the calories I...

  37. always tired but getting enough sleep I think

    Does that tiredness go away later in the day? There are literally dozens of conditions that might be at the root of this. I would get a blood work done through my physician if I were you. There are a number of things that could cause this. In the weekends, when you can sleep in, do you still...

  38. I'm not going to drink today...

    I know exactly what you mean. So, these days, when I pour myself a smoothie that I make at home, I do so after having tinkered frequently with the recipe (mostly from veggies, fruits, nuts, whey protein and, rarely, sucralose -- all with crushed ice), and it somewhat satiates the urge of...

  39. StrongLifts and other exercises log

    Benching as much as squats, and more than deadlifts? That will (should) all change. ;-).

  40. Paypal or Square card reader free after rebate

    Several months ago, PayPal sent me the reader for free. Don't they do that any more?
