Happy Birthday!

They say it takes about 3 weeks for your skin and beard to adjust to and from different types of shaving.

I usually stick to the middle gears so I'm peddling pretty fast. When I was younger I kept it in the high gears and powered my way to speed.

I'm getting errors in both firefox and chrome. Infinite redirect loops. Maybe it's related to the new SEO friendly title in the URL (which do we really need that in a private forum anyways?)

Word. No squats, no results. I used to use www.fitday.com to track my calories and macros.

I'm sure it's like most other colon cleanse products....all the weird herbs in it makes your poop look funny so people think it's working. Wikipedia even has a page on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucoid_plaque I use super colon cleans which is a fiber product. I wouldn't suggest it cures my illness and makes my headaches go away while making me lose 20 lbs, but it does keep things moving and the American diet is very low in fiber.

I've never seen any peer reviewed study showing any benefit from any cleanse systems or products. I file these things under the same category as homeopathy and such. Just placebo effect, hindsight bias, and conformation bias. Certain herbs have been shown to help out. Things like milk thistle extract has demonstrated a positive effect on the liver.

I agree. Anytime I hear the word "cleanse" I facepalm. Eat more fruits and veggies, take some psyllium husk fiber, drink more water.

When my tires wear out I'll change them. Right now I suppose I'm enjoying the extra work I have to do. After all, it has to be hard work to be effective!

Beard trimmer with no guard up top, mach3 down below. 10+ years and only cut myself once (with the trimmer believe it or not!). I've been shaving a few days with the DE razor. I liked it. Really smooth shave, but the first day I looked I lost a fight with a mountain lion. Takes a little practice. Today I finally didn't cut myself at all.

I just figured upload each disc separately so when rapidshare nukes a link people don't lose the whole thing.

Might be a good idea to do each disc separately instead of the whole thing.

150 miles a week!? That's impressive.

I need to buy gloves too. When falling the first reaction is to catch yourself. (can you tell I've riden a motorcycle before?)

A helmet is the next thing I have to buy if I stick with riding my bike. I'm only riding around my neighborhood but that means cars and lots of them. Not to mention down the hill I hit 20 mph. And I never did understand people that have music playing while they're running or biking. Aren't they afraid a car will sneak up on them?

I haven't seen all of it. I just previewed the chest/back program. Looked like endless types of pushups/pullups and band work. But as long as there's some sort of progression of overload that's good.

Picked up some Nike Tri-D Run II's. We have a Nike outlet nearby and so they were only $29.

Unzip. Use WinRAR and set the file size 199 mb. It will split it up for you.

Fancy marketing and buzzwords aside, it works because it's 7 hours of intense exercise a week. The intensity is basically combining aerobic and anaerobic exercise (just like circuit training). A few cycles of this are going to burn a lot of fat and build some muscle, but there's going to be a point where bodyweight exercises aren't going to be building anymore muscle because more resistance is needed. "Muscle confusion" is great, but this is only going to work for so long until your body adapts and gets closer to it's final potential on it. I'm sure after 3 years on this you'd look the same after 2 years on this. Also I really didn't get the "build the core for more fat burning" line. You can really only burn fat one way. Expend more calories than you consume. Granted, each new pound of muscle burns about 35 calories a day (of course, a lb of muscle actually only burns 6 to 7 calories a day). So yes, adding muscle will help use more calories, but nothing specific about "core" muscles that makes you burn fat. So it really depends on goals. If you want to be a fit guy this sounds great. But I always wanted to be one of those squat 500 lbs and benchpress a car kind of guys. I might try the plyometrics disc too. After all, who doesn't want to run around like Jason Statham? And if there's anything the ab workout has showed me is that there are a few muscles I neglect (abs/hip flexors).

When asking "Will Paypal Screw Me?" the answer is always yes. In this situation Paypal will pull the "we only protect buyers that the product gets delivered" card. I once ordered a few hundred dollars in material for my business. When it arrived it was blue and not white. The guy wouldn't give me a refund and I tried to go through paypal and they wouldn't help me. They only protect me to make sure it ships and I received it. Not what color it was and not for being scammed since it was clearly called white even though it was baby blue.

I'm having trouble getting to search for this AND that. Instead I get 200 posts that contain either word.

I sweat like crazy. I can just be sitting in an air conditioned room and I'll have sweat running down my sides and arms. Last year I went to the doctor and got put onto a prescription anti-perspirant. I use it at night about twice a week. After I shower I use old spice invisible solid pure sport. I still sweat, but now I don't have beads of it running down my arm for no reason.

That's what I thought too for about the first week. But after 19 miles over 2 months it's not just noobie running pain. I can get to about the end of my block before my shins hurt.

For the life of me I can't find the little things you slip your feet into for my bike. Then again, I took them off like 12 years ago. LOL. Maybe I'll buy some more. Went and bought some actual running shoes today. I'll try them out tomorrow. It's like 90 degrees with 100% humidity right now. They seem a lot softer and more like a sponge than the cross trainers I've been wearing.

I tried the ab routine yesterday because I HATE doing ab work. Seriously, I'd bet it's been 10 years since I've done a sit-up or crunch. LOL. I made it about 5 minutes into it. I couldn't get past the scissors. I didn't feel it in my abs, but my hip flexors were burning. They're sore today.
