  1. Did you ever put the deadlift handles on that tire?
  2. it does look fun, then I saw the registration cost.
  3. oh I know... I sweat profusely no matter how light or hard the workout. I have tried to skip rope for 5 minutes with every 5th being a double under. 2 minutes and I'm out of breath.
  4. if you really want a good burn, elevate your feet 24-30 inches on diamonds
  5. Your body strives for homeostasis, which will cause you to eventually flatline / reach your plateau. Changing your routines up can help combat that situation (to an extent). Think of it as P90X muscle confusion on a macro scale.
  6. Snacks are killer... Especially pre-prepared, packaged snacks. How would your kids feel about nutella on whole grain wheat bread, for example, instead of a cookie or a brownie?
  7. unfortunately, belly fat is the last to go. Be patient
  8. Deadlifts ARE easy. Then again, I'm not in high school doing 455 anymore. I might do 5 x 12 at 225 now at the most and call it a day.
  9. Oh. hill sprints - something i have not done in a while. and for good reason, yeah they suck. i do some double-unders on occasion and i used to bike a good bit. been sacking off.
  10. What leg workouts do you guys do that you hate so much? I do a little on the legs about every session - I don't really have a leg day. I usually just do hang cleans into thrusters, box jumps, or wall balls as part of my routine.
  11. I've been a slob for the past three months and I feel the difference. I'm trying to let myself go for a bit just to see a ridiculous improvement. I had gotten back into running shape over the summer - nothing spectacular, 20 minute 5k. I haven't done that since I was in high school so you marathon runners can eat it. But I'll be getting back into my routine come the new year. Right now I have this weird 4 pack/ love handle combo thing going on. that's going bye-bye.
  12. I use 2. I think. Its been like 5 years since I've made sweet tea.
  13. I think you should tell Lilly that the gangsta grip on the AR is adjustable. Magazines work better with ammunition in them. Also, scopes work great when the covers are off.
  14. Boxing and tennis can both be a pretty intense cardio workout. I think all you need to do is keep that up, add some weight training and your body will fill out naturally in a few years. When I was 18 I was about your same height and 160 lbs. I was Ridiculously skinny, but I was unbelievable cut. A few years later, I hadn't gained any fat, but I put on about 45 pounds in a matter of months. My shoulders and chest got massive. People I hadn't seen in years freaked out when they'd seen the transformation. Later on, I injured my back and stopped working out completely and got the gut to match my shoulders and chest. About 5 months ago, I got the go ahead from my doctors to get back into it. I got my six pack back rather quickly. I'm concentrating on flexibility and cardio to prevent future injuries.
  15. I'm definitely not a big fan of supplements. Yeah, I know some of them make you actually want to push yourself harder. But in the end, I think the whole supplement market is a scam. Good diet, a multivitamin and a protein smoothie every day will give you the same results.
  16. I used to do a lot of biking when I lived in Germany and in Washington state. Here in NC, the greenways aren't very long and there's no way I'm biking the roads with you horrible drivers out there. I'll still ride around my neighborhood on occasion, but that's more of a recreational thing with my oldest son. Right now, I'm concentrating on running. My cardio is decent overall, but pounding the pavement still gives breaks me off.
