Just finished week 3. Feeling better about Ab Ripper. I can stay up with doing 22 of each move instead of 25 and 40 of the 50 mason twists. There are 2 of the moves that I usually have to take a break in - the V-up pulse up thingies, and the scissors. Both of 'em suck.

Yeah, I bought the Pure Protein bars from Costco (variety pack with 3 flavors). The Chocolate Peanut Butter ones are my favorite, followed by the Chocolate Chip, and finally the Chocolate Deluxe.

I'm curious about what others do here as well. I've been working out on this for a week now and doing it in the morning. My approach so far has been to eat a small breakfast (one small bowl of cerial, or 2 eggs) then do my workout almost immediately after. Then the recovery drink after the...

I'm also trying to determine a realistic goal. I'm 5'10" and 185 lb.s Using the circumference method, I'm at about 19% body fat. I guess around 10% is a good athletic body fat percentage. But I'm not sure how much lean muscle mass I can expect to gain from this. Anyone one else know their...

Still in Week 1 here. Yoga this morning sucked. The first half was pretty difficult. The second half with all the static balance poses wasn't quite as bad. I don't know about you guys, but I've found the Plyo & Yoga to both be more difficult for me than the two strengths videos I've...

Oh. And what are you guys doing for recovery drinks? Buying something? Making your own? And is anyone using protein bars? They seem expensive as hell - sometimes more than $2 per bar. But are they worth it? Are there cheaper ones?

I dove into it today. Day 1. Chest & Back, plus Ab Ripper. Not too bad. Started out doing 25-30 pushups and 7-9 pullups. Then slowly delclined from there to about 15 pushups and 4 pullups by the last few sets. Ab ripper was tough. I'd estimate I did around 40% of it. We'll see...

Yeah, I was going to ask you guys what time of day you work out. I usually hear that working out in the morning is best - gets your metabolism up for the rest of the day, etc. So I was thinking I'd try to workout around 6 a.m. so that I could actually spend some time with the wife when I get...

Thanks. Looks like that one limits your widest grip to the width of the door frame. That doesn't feel to narrow for you?

What pullup bars are you guys using? Seems like there are a handful out there ranging from $25-&75. Any bad experiences?

Is it just me, or does this dude look like a buff Jeff Probst?

Alright. I'm joining the crowd on this one. Downloaded the torrent that was posted on the first page. Still can't get any seeders on any of the CardioX torrents I grabbed. But I'm looking forward to this. I'm currently about 5'11 and 183 lbs. In decent shape. Hoping to add some muscle...

Definitely go with the large. I have a large, and when I cook baby back ribs on it, they just BARELY fit length-wise. I have a hard time seeing them fit on a medium BGE.

Are you guys dumping it now? Or expecting it to keep climbing?

I guess I'm interested in both - saving for the future and trying to make some extra cash now. So maybe I'd do something like take half of my ESPP and put into some kind of long term investment, and take the other half for day trading or whatever. Too risky? More long term investments? I...
