Am i unbeleivebly lucky or...........

Mine does 4.5ghz at 1.36v, so you've got a pretty good chip there. In general, I think people get 4ghz easy, 4.5ghz often (but not always), and higher than that is luck of the draw. You may want to check that overclock with Prime also. In my experience, I could pass 10 loops of IBT, but would...

Feminism destroyed the family.

So you throw out your humble opinion, and then call us delusional... :thumbsup: International bankers don't make my wife work and pay taxes, that's her choice. And she is very feminine. ;)

Crossfit

I've recently added three or four days of cross-fit to my regular powerlifiting routing. For me, I'm trying to get weight down, so I use the cross-fit to reduce the amount of running I do (wear and tear on the knees plus getting boared running). I can get a really crazy sweat going with a...

is it possible to build muscle while at caloric deficit?

I think it's very, very difficult. I have always stagnated or regressed on my max lifts when I have lost weight. I have a high body fat, so I have weight to lose - but whenever I have lost weight I've lost a proportionate amount of strength. When I dropped for 278 lbs to 240 (about 13&#37...

Lightheaded when lifting weights

I thinks it's normal to feel light headed after doing a max lift. Cleans are exhausting on the whole body, both muscularly and cardivascularly (if those are words) - so that doesn't surprise me at all. I normally do a 9 week rotation -- three weeks of work sets of 10, three weeks of sets of 5...

Hard drive won't show up on my computer. Is paying for data recovery worth it?

Does the drive show up in BIOS? Not showing up in My Computer doesn't mean it's dead. Something wrong, for sure, but if the drive shows up in BIOS there is a better chance recovery software would do the trick. I have used Active File Recovery and Active Partition Recovery on my drives to pull...

Weight Lifters.. what do you eat for breakfast?

Protein Bar and coffee with cream and sugar. Not too complicated and easy to grab as I'm heading out the door. By 10 or 11 am I will have consumed a serving of carrots, a banana and yogurt, so I guess that could be considered part of my breakfast too. I kind of eat all morning until lunch.

I tend to yawn a lot when I do squats.. why?

I agree on not exhaling during the squat. Big belly breath at the start, flex the core, squat, stand up, exhale, and repeat. Getting enough air is difficult. If you are flexing your core and pressing your abs against your weight belt to help stabilize everything (like you need to do to lift...

Worth it to buy weight equipment?

Not worth it to me, but I don't have the space. A high quality rack plus is expensive and for squats and dead lifts I am in the 405 to 455 range, so I would need at least 500 lbs of weights, and that gets expensive even on Craigslist. I have a nice bench and olympic weight set to do a light...

Is it time for new running shoes?

I am around 240 lbs and run a few marathons a year, so I tend to crush the cushion out of my shoes pretty quickly. A few hundred miles is plenty to justify getting a new pair. Most of my distance runs are on pavement, though. Problem is I end up with a ridiculous number of shoes with perfectly...

running shorts

I am more built like a powerlifter than a runner, so thighs that can chafe and I run about 4 marathons a year (slowly), plus a bunch of half-marathons. For up to about 4 miles, just running shorts are good. 4 to maybe 10 miles, gotta go with the compression shorts under my running shorts. 10...

Deadlift stance and arm position

I tend to do both sumo and conventional, at different times during my workout. As I go heavier on squats, my form breaks down a bit because my hamstrings, hips and glutes aren't strong enough and I start to favor my quads more. To work on those areas, I'll do sumo deadlifts. I also do...
