    new to this forum but I'll help with fitness

    Awesome! I'm new too, but I'll say welcome. How do you arrange your training for the year? It's winter, is this your strongman "off season?" Does that mean it's bodybuilding style lifting to give yourself a break from the huge weights of strongman? Or do you kind of blend things together...

    I guess no more StrikeForce, no more Elite XC, no Pride. There's only the UFC and Dana White left. I don't like my boss that much, I guess I wouldn't be too happy if he was the only guy I could work for either.

    Gotta agree about Diaz. I realize he's a tough guy/bad boy, but slapping Anjos was a punk bitch move. It's a fight, but I like to see a little sportsmanship, or at least respect for for the dude who just beat you. What a terrible example for young athletes! I think Diaz also got fined 10%...

    Man, I thought the 5th round was pretty close, but I had a few beers, so I could be "fuzzy" about it. I'm glad I didn't have to score it. But what stands out most to me was how Dos Santos changed the whole fight with that 1 big shot in mid 3rd(?) round. Stipe was dominating, he looked...

    I meant no disrespect to anyone, calling nutrition "easy". Especially not someone with a degree in nutrition. It's just that we're not talking about a "special" or "difficult" case here. Dude is a healthy 18 year old kid, not a 83 year old lady, or a burn victim with no liver. This should...

    This is not so hard. Everyone knows which foods cause bitch tits. Everyone knows which foods turn you diesel. The "problem" is that the good stuff requires a little bit of planning or preparation. And the slop is hot and ready to go, 24 hours a day with no effort. Eat breakfast. Make...

    Oh, sorry man. I thought you were like a senior this year. So you used to be diesel, then you just kinda got lazy for awhile? It should be easy for you to get back then. You already know what works, and how awesome being all jacked is.

    Putting together my soil in the boondocks. How's this?

    Leave out the city compost, and substitute more mushroom compost. Those biosolids they mention are made from human waste. I would put some of that bone meal and blood meal into the soil too. Would the oyster shell help with your ph?

    Yeah, just kind of try out a few different rows or chins or whatever. See where they can fit into your routine or plan. Sometimes it's hard to work legs and hips hard if you're trying to do a lot of running. Are you playing any sports in the winter or spring?

    12-12-2014 1 Leg Curls, 1 Leg Extension, Some pulldown abs and pullthrus on the low cable to get going. I looped a resistance band over my lifting belt, then stuck my feet into the two "ends" of the band. My glutes and hips had to work hard to keep the band from folding me up. It got me...

    Upper body day looks good. I love the military press, the bigger my shoulders look the smaller my waist looks! Dumbbell tricep extensions are awesome because they don't blow up my elbows like skullcrushers with a barbell. I would love to see you add a 3rd "back" day. On this day you'd hit...

    Oh yeah, I moved grip grip "out" a little bit on the bench press, and "in" a little on the close grip. The idea is to use less shoulders and more chest/triceps.
