    Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***

    Being overweight is not a failure of character. It's a complicated issue that is impacted as much by society and basic physiology as conscious food and activity decisions. I don't want this to get caved, but the worst thing a person can do is take their weight as a reflection of their worth.

    Yeah I've done that a bit. The IT band has mostly resolved.

    Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***

    Weight training is very low injury risk relative to most any other sport. Studies have confirmed this. And despite what fitness influences say, there isn't any definitive "injury-preventing" form for any exercise anyway. A particular technique may be inefficient for the sport or lifting maximal...

    Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***

    I do a powerlifting bench, so I arch my back and drive my legs into the floor but my but stays in contact with the bench The problem is more getting into and out of the position than actually being in the position and straining. Sometimes it flares up during squats after a rep, but it's never...

    Try widening your feet a bit, as far as shoulder width. Also focus on keeping your weight on your front foot, using the rear just to balance. And do it next to a wall or chair or something to hold on to until you get better at them. I found that elevating the back foot on a weight bench made it...

    Ive been dealing with hammy and IT band stuff on one side for a while too. Mine seems to feel better with some regular lifting. My problem seems to pop up when I'm benching. Something about the position of my hips, knees and feet causes it to get really angry.

    The guys I follow say to just find what you can do without pain. Lower weights, change range of motion, change exercise variation, change exercise completely, etc. As it starts to feel better, you can begin working back towards your normal exercises. Don't be in a huge hurry to get back to...

    Just keep moving. Doesn't have to be exercise, but light activity throughout the day. Maybe some dynamic stretching or a few sets of bodyweight movements, staying far away from failure. Going forward, consider doing a little more warm-up work. Try doing 2-4 sets of warm-ups, progressing from an...

    Brush your teeth...or die

    So apparently the dentist thing is the "official cause of death" according to the medical examiner, but the reason he was in the hospital in the first place was a jobsite injury. Apparently we worked construction since retiring from football. A pile of bricks fell on his head, sending him to...

    Brush your teeth...or die

    My dentist out here in western WA could tell on my first visit that I didn't grow up here. He said he can tell immediately when someone grew up with fluoridated water (like in Ames) versus non-fluoridated water (my current county).

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    The drag is produced anywhere the airflow "disconnects" from the vehicle surface. Yes obviously the biggest detachment occurs at the back of the vehicle, but every surface contributes. Even air passing under the hood for cooling and under the vehicle. Designers can add features to the backs of...

    Meh, it's all about power:weight. 250hp in a Miata would be a screamer, but in a minivan it's just adequate. Not to mention purely RWD vs FWD/AWD, traction control, etc...
