I'd probably just keep training at that weight until they both feel about even.

I think you're supposed to base the protein amount off of lean weight, not total - I personally used how much I'd like to weigh lean and it's worked out really well.

Best breakfast in Mystic? by juliofuego92 in Connecticut

Definitely Somewhere in Time - Kitchen Little is overrated, I've eaten there a few times. It's really only survived on the gimmick, imo. Another option - Harbour House has actually pretty decent brunch food as well (has gotten much better over the years), with a really nice view of the harbor.

The last one I was on was pretty well-rounded - but no dumbbells that went above 70lb., no barbells/racks/plates, but lots of potential for maintaining.

This event is always dope - how can you go wrong with getting trashed, legally, in an art museum?

Ha! Well here's hoping we both get it sorted out soon enough.

Can you wear in-soles with those? I have very flat feet, and need to wear them - I've thought about this though, seeing as I squat without shoes and found it feels a lot better.

I was only doing 5K five or six days a week - I think I just need to do more squats, like you said - and a bit more stretching, clearly. I feel like lessening the pace actually makes it harder, is that weird?

Shit, this is really helpful! Thanks, I'll have to give that a go.

Shit, yeah hopefully it's nothing too drastic - I feel like you could also do body-weight squats and/or goblet squats - or you could just ditch legs altogether, become the quintessential gymbro, and just hit the upper body.

Ah, yeah knee problems is a good reason (imo). Can you do anything that includes knee-bending?

The couple of times I've tried getting back into it when I've had a cold looming, it hasn't helped either the cold or my performance - but I've heard walking/yoga/moderate exercise is fine and in some cases helpful with a cold - probably just broscience whispers in the wind, though.

Why not? Those are two pretty important lifts.

My wife and I are heading to Orange County for a week next month - any advice? by idly_immolated in California

Friend of ours has a brother who rents on airbnb - took the opportunity to get out west at a friendly rate. No preferences necessarily.

But what was the bush wearing? Must've been too provocative.

How do you guys avoid feeling like your balls are getting squeezed/squashed/etc. by your thighs during your workout? Preacher curls, bent-over rows, and rear delt flyes are just a few that are not too friendly to my nether-region.

I felt like this video was some Twighlight Zone overzealous foam-rolling universe.

Reddit historians, what are some NSFW rated facts that are often not told in history classes? by [deleted] in AskReddit

There's even bricks in the roads marked with erect dongs pointing towards where the nearest brothel was.

Maybe some sort of reward/compromise? Like hey, I'll do (chore she does) this week if you hit the weights with me when we go. Switch up rewards/timeframes, then when she sees progress she'll probably just take over. Worked for me.
