As a large brown bear, I approve this recipe.

Plain Greek yoghurt with dill makes a good sauce for salmon as well.

Assuming this is an e-cig flavor, it probably only tastes like rum and doesn't actually contain alcohol.

In case it does actually contain alcohol...

While vaporizing alcohol is possible, it's not a great idea because if you drink too much booze you can puke to help mitigate the effects. If you inhale too much vaporized booze, you're screwed.

I once was looking through the Horror movie section at the library and someone had put a Jane Fonda workout video in there.

Finntroll - Nedgång

Eluveitie - Luxtos

I'd try yoga and/or massages.

 (just image google "ball squats").

Might want to make sure SafeSearch is on.

As far as I know, punching power is hard to improve via any means but practicing punching. Hit a heavy bag or if you have a workout partner have them hold striking pads for you.

Past that, punching power comes more from the hips than many people realize, so work on strengthening your hips.

Finally, most people recommend low reps with heavy weight for increasing strength but if you haven't been training much (or not at all) you may see some strength gains from higher reps/light weights as well.

If your friend is bulking, he's either eating a decent amount of food other than those chicken breasts or he's three feet tall. A normal-sized human won't gain weight if that's the majority of their mealtime calories.

I'm sure your four breasts are fine for weight loss/maintenance.

Eat all of the things.

It's not fun, but it might be worthwhile to count calories for a while. When I started bulking again recently I found out I was only eating around 2300 or so calories when I needed at least 3000. It's easy to underestimate how much you're eating, apparently.

I wouldn't buy it however. I don't think the list and amounts of ingredients are worthy of the price. To me this seems like just another pre-workout that saves on the actually working substances and instead goes with the easy energy boost route you'd get from two double espresso shots.

Agreed. I just have a cup of coffee if I feel I need a pre-workout boost.

You'll need a spotter. Social anxiety sucks, but 99.9% of guys won't mind giving a spot. Chances are they'll need one someday and you can reciprocate.

Anyway, whenever you're working with weights that are anywhere near your max a spotter's a good idea.

Start with a weight you KNOW you can lift but still seems heavy. Lift it. Some people like to do more than one rep to "get in the groove" but if you want to stick to one rep to avoid wearing out that's fine.

Rest a bit. Add weight. Lift again. Repeat until you can't.

If you feel you took too long on the lower weights and it hurt your maximum, try again another day.

It's worth mentioning though that if you just started lifting you might want to work more with lower weights to get the hang of things and perfect your form before you start trying to lift as heavy as possible.

The above post pretty much says it. If your goal is fat loss, limiting caloric consumption is more important than rep ranges anyway.

As well as my own opinion that the negative side of 60-90 minutes of something you don't enjoy probably outweighs the positive side of the endorphin rush thereafter.

You used the word "pain" to describe your workouts... Other than maybe soreness the next day, there shouldn't be pain.

If you're dreading working out, find ways to make it more enjoyable. Find exercises you don't dread. For example, if you don't like squats, try something like step-ups.

Are you doing deadlifts? I've never met anyone who doesn't like those. Give 'em a try.

Listen to music if you aren't already or find a workout partner.

Figure out what bugs you the most about your workouts and change/improve/remove it.

I understand that the clock is ticking and all, but you said you've been together for 2 years, living together for 1...

For me that already seems like moving fast, living together that quickly. Marriage after 2 years seems rapid. Maybe he feels the same way.

Or maybe this is why I'm not married.

If you're laying in bed for a while and can't sleep, get up and read or do some other calm activity. The longer you lay there thinking about how you're not sleeping the more you'll not sleep.

On the occasions that I can't get myself to sleep via normal methods, melatonin knocks me right out. Might be worth giving that a try.

Experience?  No.  But if it was that great, why would they need to spend a bunch of money to tell you about it?

Everyone advertises. McDonald's is ubiquitous, but they advertise. CBS advertised the Super Bowl; how many people didn't know about that?

I recommend The Briar King (and subsequent books in the series) by Greg Keyes, but I didn't much care for Prince of Thorns so your mileage may vary.

I'm in St. Charles County, a bit West of STL.

I posted this a while ago on my blog, figured it's worth posting here as well.

That's what I hear, just eat less and move more. I guess I'm just doing it all wrong.

Eat better, not less. You need a caloric deficit to lose weight but trying to starve yourself saps your energy and makes you hate life.

Moving more is always good though.

If weight loss is your goal, I'd say less meat and more veggies could improve your results. Don't force yourself to eat if you're not hungry, just reduce your meat portion and increase veg.

That said, if what you're doing now is working I wouldn't mess with it.

Catch squirrels. Eat the squirrels.

Failing that, stock up on tuna pouches and nuts or as the above poster mentioned a few days off the wagon won't murder you. It'll come down to how much you're willing to haul and how long you're going to be doing this. Sweet potatoes can be cooked in campfire coals (wrapped in foil of course).

When I go camping I make a big bag of trail mix out of unsalted nuts and dried fruit. It's quite calorie-dense, filling, and portable.

Ok this is what I been doing since this challenge, minus my birthday and the tour I went on for a day:

 

Breakfast: nothing

Lunch: salad: 2 cups spinach, 2 boiled egg chopped up, 2 tbsp bacon bits, 1tbsp feta, 5 tomatoes, pinch of carrots and Caesar dressing

Dinner varies but its either:

pork roast from crock pot with carrots, celery, onions

baked salmon, 1 cup rice, broccoli or asparagus

stir fry chicken breast, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots (stir fry as in I just fry it on the stove in a pan)

stir fry pork, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots (same)

or

hamburgers with either no bun or a gluten free bun with sweet potato cut up and baked for "fries" with spicy mustard

or sometimes when I have the cash I get a beach club unwhich from Jimmy Johns which is turkey breast, avacado spread, cucumber, provolone, tomato and mayo wrapped up in lettuce.

 

The only thing different now is that I'm eating breakfast, which is 2 pieces of bacon, 2 eggs and 2 oz of sausage. Sometimes without the sausage if my fat content is too high for the day according to MFP.

 

For a snack I'll either have a Quest bar or the Planters cashew, almond, pecan, pistachio mix (no peanuts).

 

I can't do dark chocolate anymore as it upsets my stomach so I have discovered an almond, cranberry, raisin, pistachio mix that satisfies the cravings and maybe once or twice a week I have a glass of wine. Mix as in the fruit/nuts are thrown in a bag and mixed up together, I don't add sugar the cranberries are sweet enough as it is.

Other than the wine you didn't mention beverages. You aren't slamming a bunch of glasses of milk or juice or some such with every meal are you? Those calories add up pretty quickly.

I use raspberries, blueberries, or other fruits that we don't get very often.

You can buy 'em toys or other stuff instead of ice cream, it's more or less the same price-wise.
