The useful links on the sidebar explain it best I guess. Just a lot of in jokes between a handful of regular posters.

Pretty early in my career. I've held two jobs that both sound wildly better than any other option in the near area (small startups with tons of work vs. big businesses where nothin…

Same here. I often spend time wondering if it's simply that this field isn't for me, 40hrs a week kills my drive, or if it's a bigger issue like depression. Only thing I enjoy now …

I had figured that was a reference to the bizarre "Dilbert 2" video on youtube that instagram deemed abusable. Watch the video and you might understand why.

I'm more curious about the second question I raised. I've read stuff before saying x grams of protein can't be absorbed when consumed in one meal. I've heard differing claims, some…

What about feeling tired/lethargic during the time in which you fast? Also, can your body really efficiently utilize all of the micro/macro nutrients it needs in a day when it's ha…

I don't think there's more to it. Eating three meals a day at about 2,500 calories for a few weeks, and my body will adapt to feeling full at those portions. Upping that to 3,000+ …

I'll occasionally do this with the mouse pointer on a screen. No diagnoses, but I suffer the same symptoms other posters are talking about.

One thing me and a friend frequently do is record each other sets every now and then. I've heard some people get pretty good advice posting form check videos on reddit's fitness bo…

Yes, I meant 3 times a week.

there is a kindle version for sale on amazon.

Unfortunately I don't know much about hypertrophy training, so I may be wrong with a few of the things I'm about to say. I think that yes, higher reps at lower weight in the 8-12 r…

I see stronglifts 5x5 recommended a lot on sites like reddit and generally disagree that beginners should start out with it. From what I've read online, the 5x5 structure often lea…

Second on starting strength. Not only does the book have great info on how to properly perform each lift, but it also has quite a bit of info behind why we do each lift, physics an…

I got lucky. I had a friend who had been lifting for years, so I didn't have to go alone when starting out. If I had to make a recommendation for a beginner who might feel stressed…

On the health note, the single most beneficial thing I did for myself this year was to start lifting. 6 months ago I started committing 3 days a week to a strength training program…

Interesting. All very different reasons to choose tape than what I'd personally do. I guess the difference is that I make music as a hobby, and do it almost entirely for myself.

The idea of recording on cassette has always appealed to me as a fairly cheap and easy way to record analog tracks at home with some of the older cheap 4-8 track sound boards. I th…

There is the case where its nearly impossible to find the original master digitally, which I'd argue the the original vinyl pressing sounds "better" for some albums. Totally unrela…

Hence why learning proper form is key. I do understand where you're coming from though. We often times see guys at the gym quarter squatting or pulling with a rounded back which is…

I hear lots of discussion that deadlifting with proper form strengthens the core. Also, being a compound lift, you'll hit tons of other muscle groups as well. Mark rippetoe's book …

Interestingly enough, the top link for me just below the "in the news" headline is this comment thread.

Not OP, but the biggest thing my therapist recommended me was practicing mindfulness through meditation. The idea is that it makes it easier to fall back in that same mental state …
