    Blashpemy..Del Friscos Double Eagle is amazing. Share that and the asparagus and you're good. What'd you get that made it "pretty terrible"? I'd say Mortons was one of the worst chain steak restaurants I've been to. Went once, didn't need to go again. Quality Meats was another steakhouse that...

    I swear you were in the NYC area..if you are, and you want to revisit PT, check out SPEAR. I kind of had the same experience as you with previous PTs, but then ended seeing SPEAR for 6 months for a back issue. They were pretty good and it was similar to foggy experiences. It wasn't cheap though...

    Yeah..I don't recall immediately which gun he said he used in the book, but any of the ones I remember being mentioned would obliterate that kids leg. If you haven't read the book..its not a bad read. If they base it closely on the book, its going to be exactly like hurtlocker but with more...

    Neither bench nor squat would really help you with a pullup though (we are talking pullups and not chinups right?). I hover around 195-200. Back/bi day for me starts with 4x10 wide grip pullups, 4x10 inside grip pullups, on the rare occasion, ill throw chinups in. I did about a month of pullups...

    Meh..it's not unlikely that that happened. What is unlikely is that it continues. 90% of that 10lbs is probably water/waste weight. If he's actually being diligent about his diet, you could see that kind of weight shift in that time frame. Just speaking from personal experience, I went from...

    Eh, no not really. They wont give you exact info and can be off by quite a bit so far as the bf% goes. They can tell you if you're heading in the right direction though when used over several weeks, but so can taking a photo in that same stretch of time.

    There are quite a few people like that. Step into a gym and you'll see plenty of unassuming looking people putting up serious weight. Strength and size don't always correlate. And 13% bf isn't unnatural..what brought you to that conclusion? Unnatural to me would be anything like 5-6% bf or below.

    Listen to Elurin..start with what you're eating now. Log it, and keep logging it. This will teach you quite a bit and will play the largest role in getting you to your goal. My two cents; Stop eating processed foods. Learn to cook. Stop saying "dieting". You aren't trying to go on a diet...

    He could also try smaller plates (2.5lb or 5lb)under his heals. That should force him into proper position and shouldn't allow him to come that far forward.

    Went in and the dr took another look during prep and thought that would be the better route. I had known I qualified for it from the get go, and the only reason I didn't go with it was because I hate contact lenses. Also the cornea is stronger then it would be after lasik with the same results...

    First sentence is why you'll put bad weight back on once you reach whatever goal you have (if you even reach it). You don't want to put the work in to educate yourself on what you're eating and how you can eat better. It's pure laziness. Nothing against butter...but for fuck sakes, why would...
