The way I was raised, or more accurately, wasn't raised. Parents were never around, no father figure, grew up in bad neighborhoods, was usually the only white kid around so got picked on a lot, etc. All of this had extreme negative effects on my self esteem that crippled me socially and sexually...

Not only that, but I bet if you trained with an emphasis on strength for a while and THEN incorporated crossfit style workouts, you'd improve your conditioning faster than if you just went straight to crossfit without building a strength base first. Strength generally acts as a ceiling on all...

11/30/11 Bench: 3 x 220 2 x 220 Failed 3rd rep. First time failing a bench rep in a while :( Close grip bench: 2 x 3 x 200 Incline bench: 2 x 3 x 185 Front squat: 3 x 200 3 x 225 8 x 255

The OP is right. A lot of the advice here about getting numbers, waiting a few days to call, etc. is outdated. Numbers don't mean anything, women give their numbers out like candy these days, ever notice how everyone has 2,000 numbers in their phones and 2,000 facebook friends even though they...

I didn't know they had wheelchair MMA now. :p

They are very elitist and dogmatic in their approach to training. Also, their programming seems totally random, there doesn't seem to be much reasoning behind how they set up things. And it's very expensive. Very cult-like.

11/28/11 Box squat: 12" box 3 x 5 x 295 Holy **** these are humbling. This is almost 100 lbs less than my regular squat weight, and they are tough. My ears were ringing after the last set. I sit back on the box and come to a complete stop at the bottom, then explode up. Really feel them in...

When we see an attractive woman, we don't think "I want to spread my seed to her", we think "I want to **** her".

Sounds like a troll.

No, we have sex because it feels good.

I skimmed it and wasn't impressed. You might be able to get some good bits of info out of it, but I thought most of it was pretty gimmicky.

11/26/11 Squat: 3 x 5 x 375 Pull up: 9 x bodyweight 7 x bodyweight 6 x bodyweight Deadlift: 5 x 300 5 x 345 9 x 395 Hamstrings were fried after this. It's odd, when I do higher rep deadlifts my hamstrings are wiped out but my lower back feels fine, but when I stay <5 reps I feel most of...

11/24/11 Bench: 2 x 3 x 215 Close grip bench 2 x 3 x 190 Incline bench: 2 x 3 x 175 Front squat: 5 x 185 5 x 225 10 x 240 Overhead press: 3 x 8 x 115

You could wake up in a lab 2,000 years from now having experiments done on you :nervous:

I think part of the issue also is that when you get older you're practically guaranteed to get back pain, because the human back is a stupid design and when you get older your body starts falling apart. I know many on this board like to pretend men don't age and stay in their prime forever, but...

I don't know anything about these movies, but I've always thought the reason women are so obsessed with vampire stuff is that vampires are usually portrayed as alpha males. They take what they want, they don't ask permission first. Women want an alpha who takes what he wants, not a beta who asks...

11/19/11 Bench: 2 x 5 x 205 Close grip bench: 2 x 5 x 180 Incline bench: 2 x 5 x 170 Didn't have time to do anything else.

That doesn't mean they're experts on what good form is. It just means they know how to fix people after they hurt themselves using bad form. The mainstream is way behind when it comes to strength training. I had an inguinal hernia a couple years ago, and the surgeon who repaired it told me...

Well obviously lifting with bad form will **** up your back long-term. The fact that this study was done under the "guidance" of doctors and physical therapists doesn't mean ****, because most doctors and physical therapists think a correct squat is done to quarter depth, with the bar on top...

I'm surprised it's that low. I know there are a lot of young people who don't live with their parents, but their parents help them pay rent.
