    Ever order from trueprotein.com?

    TP was the tastiest and best mixing protein I ever tried. I forget the shipping but the price was cheap.

    Anyone else do 20 rep squats

    I am BACK on the wagon! After a bit of a lifting layoff and extra focus on running, I'm on the 20 rep wagon. After six workouts in 2 and a half weeks, and starting easy at 155, I am back at 205, still deciding whether to do 210 or 215 for my next workout. Feels good to get back into it, and with...

    Illuminati...your thoughts?

    If you can't beat them, or join them, make up excuses as to why they're famous and you aren't... Like satanic sacrifices and the big conspirators controlling the little people. Ugh.

    Long term self-esteem and parental upbringing?

    Ya, not such a fan of my mom. She was positive enough but thanks to a misdiagnosis of autism and her own special ideas of what else I had as a kid (tourette's, add) which she still thinks I have, I'm her 'special' child. Oh and the autism diagnosis was reversed but she thinks she knows better...

    You are not a Princess!

    #13 resonates personally because I was that kid whose mom did this. When my wife and I were engaged I finally reconnected with my dad and learned the real deal. Now my dad and I have a very good relationship and my mom's and my relationship is permanently scarred. There was a LOT of pain and...

    P 90 X!

    Good grief dude buy a gym membership. Do you live in Rub Al Khali or something and thus have no prayer of ever getting a membership? Or is blowing money a sport to you?

    Anyone else do 20 rep squats

    Nice gains Jitter! Update: been working hard but the fat is slow to drop off. I'm much better at bulking than cutting! However, just did a late Lent swear off of ALL junk food and unhealthy foods, which should certainly help - tough to do cuz I quite enjoy some good eating, but now's a good...

    Ty Ziegel, the Wounded Marine

    I used to live next to a former Marine and his wife and kids. He didn't even go through the physical trauma that this guy did, yet his psychological and emotional demons have had a major negative effect on his marriage. We can't judge the girl without knowing anything about the marriage itself.

    Investing money - reading Rich Dad Poor Dad

    I wouldn't buy the car til I didn't have to try to make excuses to myself for it. Investingwise, I would personally put money in stuff that is in the gutter now, that is pretty sure to come back. I will forever kick myself for not having good investment capital when the credit blood splattered...

    Anyone seen LazyTown?

    Holy crap, this board has more conspiracy theorists than a Dan Brown fan convention. For the record, I've never met a conspiracy theorist who's actually a don juan.

    Dodge Charger Super Bowl Ad

    My wife used to nanny for a family, and the kids' grandma drove the exact same type of black Charger (possibly SRT8) as was in the commercial. Good shiz.

    Do American women cook anymore?

    If you ever happen by Vista or Oceanside and want some good Mexican fast food check out Filiberto's too. I used to go to the one on E Vista Way all the time. My wife loves their California Burritos and I would die for another carne asada quesadilla. Mmm mmm mmm. There is also this place in...

    Do American women cook anymore?

    But oh man is the Mexican food to phuking DIE for. Besides warm winters, the Pacific, Stone beer and Charger football, there is nothing I miss about San Diego more than the Mexican food. That is MY comfort food.

    Anyone else do 20 rep squats

    Glad to see you all keeping it up! I've been quite distracted the past week, definitely expected when my wife moves 2200 miles from CA to MS heheh. The break was good though. Just did the standard Air Force PT three times last week. 1.8 mile run dropped from 11:21 to 10:56 now that I'm not...

    Anyone else do 20 rep squats

    Jitter: I do a 1.5 mile run on tuesdays (as fast as possible, military run test) and a half hour jog on thursdays (also required pt). My tuesday run went from 11:40 in December to 11:21 two weeks ago, and was 11:21 again today, but I felt like I had to work much harder for it. I even threw up in...

    I just get so discouraged when I try to work out

    That feeling of weakness on that last rep is one of my favorite feelings, because it makes me know that I'm working myself hard. When that feeling happens, muscle usually happens too. Embrace the suck. Don't worry about the guys there being bigger or stronger than you. They aren't laughing...

    Anyone else do 20 rep squats

    Haha thanks Jitter. Actually, I've decided that all good things must come to an end. Number one, my cardio is suffering and it needs to improve. Number two, I'm growing less and less confident in my form, namely not rounding my back, and a post from a guy on tnation who pushed too hard...
