I know that this will expose me for the head-case that I am, but aren't we all. I've taken the advice to increase my cals to heart. I immediately upped my daily by 250. Over the weekend I splurged. Two nights in a row, no counting. I can't remember the last time I did that...maybe since...

I quit doing leg press a while back. I read something about sheering force on the lower back at maximal rom. When my knees approach my chest my butt creeps away from the seat. It makes sense to me that once I start to press, now that weight gets transferred into that fulcrum first. I know...

I suppose I was trying to take the easy road with my diet tracking. I'll go back through that Maintaining Daily Calories thread and look for that log. Thanks guys. Never ceases to amaze me...I'm a former endurance athlete. If I want I can hang up this mouse and peel off 15-20 miles on the...

1st..well done; great questions- awesome answers. So, good I've been coming here for almost a year and haven't been able to think of anything worth while to ask. Now. I've been on a HST-only routine since I started reading this site, save one bout of single factor 5x5. Each cycle, it seems, my...
