B.R.U.T.A.L. Bold.Rangers.United.Together.Attempt.Lifting Seems like there are quite a few Rangers this challenge which are getting back to (or are continuing) a lifting routine. That's why me and @jonfirestar thought it would be fun to bring us all together in one thread so we can thrive off of each other, in a friendly competition kinda way. Now i'm not quite sure how we are going to make this work, but a thing that popped into my mind right now is: Weight --> Reps --> RPE --> E1RM --> Wilks points, per lift That way we can update with our last training results, calculate an estimated-1-rep-max, and thanks to the wilks points compare to each other. People who aren't familiar with RPE E1RM and Wilks points. I will elaborate in due time. So if you are in need of some friendly lifting competition, sign up and post your last workout, so we can get this party started! Also if you have good ideas for how to format this thing, let's hear it. It's suppose to be a fun competiton, aimed at excelling in our lifting workouts. Now i will be off, visiting the rangers i know that are lifting this challenge, if you know a Lifting Ranger that i haven't visited yet, feel free to direct him or here! And if you have any personal questions, DM or tag me!

Hows everybody doing? I have a couple threads going on in the Rangers forum but I wanted to start one here about something new that has been a little difficult for me: Cooking good healthy food. Now I am in no way shape or form a chef (my fiancee is though SCORE!) There may be other threads out there like this one, but I wanted some plac that I could record my food ventures and rate them wether they are good or bad. I am going to be using a 1-5 rating scale. 1 being never again, wouldn't even feed it to a zombie, and 5 being a must make no questiosn asked. I can't promise that I will write in here every day but I will make an effort to post any new recipies that I try on here. So without further to do my FIRST recipe of the thread is *mostly* Paleo Pizza!!!!! CRUST 3 tablespoons flax meal 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1 egg 2 teaspoons water 1-2 teaspoons oil TOPPINGS 1 can of black olives2 Tbsp green olives (cut into quarters)2 Tbsp of ground beef (left over from previous paleo attempt)1 handfull of pizza cheese (I know not technically paleo but how can you have pizza w/out cheese)2Tbsp pizza sauce (I used Ragu cause its what I had on hand)4-5 cherry tomoatoes (cut into quarters)WHAT YOUR ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO DO! Mix the dry ingredients;add the egg, water and oil.Spray a microwaveable dinner plate with cooking spray. Spread the batter on the plate in a circle.Microwave on HIGH 1 minute 40 seconds.Meanwhile heat a little oil in a medium skillet on about medium heat; slide the crust off the plate and into a skillet. Brown on both sides.After browning crust, saute (yep big word for the non culinary guy) toppings (not sauce or cheese) untill you feel the tomatoes have been cooked fully through (about 3-4 minutes)Place the crust on a baking sheet; add toppings of your choice.Bake at 350º about 10 minutes until hot and bubbly.ENJOY! Overall I would give this a 4 out of 5 rating. The curst coudl have been more substantial. It was more like a bread almost. The size of the pizza was about the size of a personal pan from pizzahut. The olive and ground beef mixture was pretty good, and the tomatoes addd a good flavor. Tell me what you think? Would you try it? If you do or have let me know what our think! Hope to hear from you
