I agree southern. I guess what I want to know is why he is wrong. The mechanics of specifically why the knee is not a fulcrum to worry about.

what he squats didn't come up. It got me thinking about it and I wondered if he had a point. I kinda feel the proof is in the pudding as my knees feel better when I squat deep, but I like to know WHY. I'm odd that way. :D

Now, for the record I do NOT think atf squats are bad for the knees, and in fact I do them myself. I had a coworker decide I "needed" advice the other day and I wasn't sure how to respond to this. I understand that deep squats put more stress on the hams and move it towards the hip as...

I'm doing the starting strength program by rippitoe. I only have access to weighs every third day so here is my workout routine for a week. monday - elliptical trainer early am 30 minutes and an afternoon workout a - squats, bench, and deads. tuesday - nothing or stretch wednesday - elliptical...

croc shoes rule.

well I just got my first pair and I have to tell you, since I stand on concrete floors for a lot of my work day, they are awesome. My back and knees don't hurt anymore. They feel the best of any shoe I've ever owned. I'm not a big slave to fashion but I did notice more than a few comments.

I am half german so maybe I can't help myself but I love wearing socks with crocs, it's so friggin comfortable. It's not like I'm wearing black socks with birkinstocks and a hawaiian shirt, but yet I am openly mocked by my friends and family. What gives? I am just that uncool?

Good idea I will try that. Thanks for the reply!

Southernlord it's going ok, but not as good as I would like. I've gained weight but my clothes have gotten a BIT looser. I don't think I am gaining enough muscle to offset any fat loss, I think that's impossible. I do feel much better overall and I do notice my strength is a lot better. I...

In the same way that say working out with the same routine does? If I never change my routine I will hit a wall and not get past it unless I mix thing sup. But, the body can adapt a little, but can it overcome a 7 or 8 hour fast followed by cardio? I like how fast the fat drops off when doing...

well VERY long story short I've been dealing with a family member in the hospital on and off (mor eon) for the past 4 or so months. Most of this hospital stuff is 5 hours away from home so eating cafeteria food, sleeping in a "bed" or in my car, and just not being on a regular schedule has got...

Serious question, what do I take to clean out all the crud stuck in my gut? Also, do I need to stay close to a bathroom when I use whatever you suggest I do? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. So I could save my cds onto my computer and assuming I have enough memory on my mp3 player, save them to that and just take that in my car or to the gym? Cool. What will they think of next, the internet on my phone? WOW!

with the economy the way it is, if you are sure (as sure as one can be anyways) that you have a secure job, I'd stay put. The grass is always greener approach can bite you in the butt. Plus, from what you said, now you need no car, no gas, no insurance, no car payment, no registration/title...

Thanks, I just got Waynes World on lazer disk.......NOT!!!
