I did a Tough Mudder in Virginia a while back. It was a lot of fun, but it was brutal due to the course being on a ski resort.

Any of you guys heard of this?

Thought he was doing 1100 lbs

I stepped on the scale the other morning and did not like what I saw. I need to get my diet back in order ASAP. If anyone has any recommendations for easy to fix, healthy lunches that don't suck I'd love to hear them.

Wife has been crushing it with making omelets in muffin trays for later consumption. 

Reheats well in a skillet, or I will eat them after microwaving. 

I've lost about 35 lbs. over the last 8 months or so. Pretty much all diet. I need to get back in the gym.

Good idea.

Also.  We eat pretty paleoish/keto/W30/NSNGNS/whateverAdkinsvariant you want to call it 90% of the time (no problem with dairy or legumes).  We usually cook twice the diner to have leftovers for a few days.  Currently having steak, brussels and bacon that was cooked up Thursday night

I worked from home yesterday and my food options were pretty limited. Ended up sauteing half a sweet potato and fried two eggs. Great lunch. I need to have a steady supply of cooked sweet potatoes in the fridge so I can heat them up and fry an egg or two for breakfast. 

I pretty much have had the stance that fit bits are a waste of money.  Most people I know that own them are not in good shape.  I jokingly tell people unless the fitbit starts counting your macros in real time when you eat your food, it is worthless.  Well, I didn't realize that joke is closer to reality...

I had to double check that was not an onion.com.  Wait until people realize the sugar and how unhealthy Cliff Bars, Salad Dressing, Granola Mixes...

99% of the time it's all about a calorie deficit.  Everything else is just BS intended to pray upon people's wallets.   But I think exercise does help maintain your metabolism.

Make healthy dinners and take leftovers to work for lunch?

Or you can freeze almost anything (or so I've read), except pasta.  So you could make up batches for yourself and freeze it.

Doing salads this week. Spinach/spring mix combo, chicken, dried cranberries or blueberries, bleu cheese, vinaigrette (red wine vinegar and olive oil).

I don't buy into CICO, doesn't work long term, maybe a week or two.  Satiety does from eating fats and protiens 

Anyone ever have issues with shoulder pain from lifting? My shoulder (rotator cuff) had been mildly aching the past couple weeks but nothing inhibiting me from continuing to exercise. The pain had actually subsided and I resume chest lifting yesterday and aggravated it much more, specifically after doing dumbbell pullovers. I'll cease from lifting completely and I guess go back to running, which sucks because I've hated running lately. 

I started taking some NSAIDs this morning. Hopefully it's nothing more than a strain and next time I'll back off using as much weight I guess. 

I just sent you a pm

Looking for some advice on back & posture improving exercises. I'm dealing on again off again with some mid backpain that I think is related to poor posture or under developed back muscles.

Anyone deal with this and find some exercises that helped? I find myself hunched a bit and shoulders tightened forward. It sucks and I'd like to change that.

Simple shoulder shrugs (reverse) can help 

Middle back is tough to hit. I would think pull ups would help. Last pull downs behind your head.

Stretching...lie flat on back and take one leg to the opposite side while keeping back on floor...then other leg.

I’ve said this before, but if you’re using the bench for any other excercise (especially curls) other than bench press, you deserve to get shot.  Even worse when the gym is busy.
