The remaining letter is click consonant, like what you'd use to get a horse to come over and eat an apple, or what you'd use as a way to quietly say "Hey, sport" while shooting two fingers at a cool kid.

Sorry to derail the sandwich chat, but my favorite candy bar is a Mars bar. A Snickers with wonderful almonds instead of terrible peanuts is the pinnacle of candy bar technology. Previous favorite candy bars, including the age range through which they were my favorite, are listed below: - Nestle Crunch (before time began though age 11) - Butterfinger (12 through 15) - Three Musketeers (16 through 23) - Kit Kat (24 though 30) Sadly, the distribution of Mars bars seems to be somewhat select so on road trips I'm usually forced to resort back to a Kit Kat while getting gas. If someone can recommend a chain of gas stations which reliably stock Mars bars that would likely become my new favorite fuel provider.

What the goddamn gently caress is wrong with you son? Do Snickers come in Wasabi flavor? Orange? Corn? Kitkats do.    Case closed.

I do just enough cardio to keep my heart happy and would much rather do some farmer walks. What kind of stuff do you do? I think a key to sustained exercise habits is finding stuff you like. I love rock climbing, for example.

As for cardio activities I also bike to & form work, but the reason I run is because I play airsoft (Army LARPing with bb guns). While I can do a patrol hike up & down hills all day, when I need to run to & from cover when being shot at I am pretty terrible. No way to improve that then actual running (wind sprints, suicides).

There are very basic programs you can do 2x/week and still get the benefits of resistance training (stronger muscles, stronger bones, being attractive, etc). Did you work with a personal trainer? They tend to be dumb as hell and make their clients do stupid gimmicky poo poo that I'm pretty sure nobody actually enjoys.

No way to improve that then actual running (wind sprints, suicides). Fortunately you get better at that in a hurry if you train it regularly. Try something basic, like doing interval sprints for 10 minutes twice per week. After warning up, run hard for 10 seconds, rest for 50, do ten cycles of that. There are plenty of smartphone apps that will keep track of the timing for you. Every session or two, cut down the rest period and/or up the run time so that eventually you are doing 30/30 or whatever. You should see major improvement after only a few weeks. There are a billion ways to work on sprinting, this is just one simple approach that I pulled out of my rear end.

Thanks a lot for that suggestion! I use regular Runkeeper for general running/biking, but I didn't know there's other apps that can focus on sprinting. Do you know any off the top of your cat-covered head?

Add squats (bodyweight, split squats, goblet squats) and replace the situps with planks (situps are hard on the spine) and you've got a decent little routine. The challenge with bodyweight stuff is making it harder other than adding more reps and such. It requires more creativity than "add 5lbs next time."

If you scroll to the bottom of the Quick Start Guide in the YLLS General Thread (stickied) you'll see links to plenty of programs. If you find the 5x5 stuff boring, try the "Cavefish" routine, or one of the Alfalfa routines. There's lots more variety there. E: Android Bicyclist posted:Thanks a lot for that suggestion!

Don't hate me!) but I do yoga and swim fairly regularly, mostly because it's easier in the long run than not working out. I look at YLLS and TFLC sometimes but most of it intimidates me (though I like the women lifting weights thread!).

Checked a couple out and it seems there are programs beyond just cycling the same two routines, thanks. What are your opinions on Isometrics without equipment, can people actually make gains from these, even if it's quite a bit less than weights will offer?

I absolutely adore running and I do it on a daily basis, usually 6-7 miles on an indoor track or jogging through nature. However, I loving hate lifting weights, partially cause I don't really know where to start and partially cause it makes me feel like a sore ball of poo poo. This has resulted in me being kind of a skinny fat runner shape with excellent endurance and muscular legs and the upper body of a prepubescent girl composed of mostly jello. How do I go about fixing this? Am I just an exercise weirdo? This seems to be the opposite of most peoples problem where they hate the running.

Google for the book Brain over Brawn, it's goonwritten and really good and you can cop the 5x5x5 lifting program out of it and kinda go from there Lift A Weight (Bench, Deadlift, Squat for your bare minimum)

Lying about 90% of their program. And/or 2. Taking steroids, which are a magic bullet that makes even the shittiest program work well for getting ripped/"toned." And/or 3. Have assistants who handle their entire training plan and cook all meals for them (proper macronutrients, etc.) so it's basically impossible for them to screw up, which is a luxury most of us don't have. Ignore celebrities.

I think I am happier being chubby, eating whatever I want and drinking beer by the gallon then I would be trying to be fit. However I do miss being strong. I used to have a physically demanding job and now I don't and part of me misses being able to grab a 100lb sandbag and throw it over my shoulder like it ain't no thing. I realize I am not 19 anymore but would love to find a workout routine centered about getting stronger rather then getting "fit", if that makes any sense.
