Thats awesome man. I love swimming. Nothing kicks my butt more than a day at the beach. I really want to try and swim across Lake Tahoe next year. Getting the lungs and shoulder in shape for it is a whole other deal though.

heh .. the first hit I get when I type in Spinach Quiche is a recipe from Paula Deen.
6 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Salt and pepper
2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach, packed
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crust, fitted to a 9-inch glass pie plate
good god.

Hah. Listened to that during my running sessions in the last month. Ran hard whenever it came on.
You can make this with whole milk, less cheese, and less bacon. I make it all of the time. Also, want a dash of nutmeg and be sure to saute the spinach a bit and drain it heavily so that there is no moisture.
... what? Are you trying to kill yourself?
...Why?
what kind of diet is that? are you sick and in the hospital?

I hope this is a code word for steak and chicken every day.
LOL, nah, I have a bad stomach virus, it's starting to go break though so I'm about to destroy some food in the next few days. I've lost 8lbs since Thursday.
Are you posting from prison?
That's how we like our veggies down South. Served in copious amounts of fat, be it cheese, lard, bacon grease, whatever

HA, just what I was thinking
They get 3 squares, I wish.
Bingo, had trouble keeping any other food down, so went with the most bland stuff there is.
jello is really good to soothe your stomach too. I had a really nasty stomach infection last year. Jello, apple sauce, chicken broth, bananas, toast and rice (when it started to calm down a bit) got me through.
How helpful are potatoes in a bulk diet, and how are they in a cutting diet? I'm bulking right now and just yesterday started adding potatoes to my diet....I cut them up and fry them in a pan with olive oil and put a few fried eggs on top, with salt and pepper. I looked it up and they're not nearly as calorie dense as I thought they were.

I finish racking my 225lb military press, and a dude comes up and says "I don't know how you can do strict press like that."
Feels good bruh.

Just a little story I want to share, but man I wish I had my younger brothers genes instead of mine. Somehow he was just naturally strong. Back when we were in high school(I"m 2 years older) I got into weight lifting in my junior year. I remember I could bench a max of 165, and I felt pretty proud of myself as that seemed kind of high since I've never weight lifted before. This was just PE class though, and a bunch of us would go to the weight room all the time to lift. I finally take weight lifting in my senior year and started off maxing out at 185, by the end of the semester I got all the way up to 265 and I felt pretty proud of myself. My bro on the other hand never took weight lifting class. He and some friends would just often go lift weight during PE class and in one semester he brought up his bench all the way up to 350(as a sophomore). He also had 16 inch arms compared to my 14 1/2. We did do other type of lifts but you know, back then in high school everybody just wants to bench and know what each others benches are.
Anyways, after that he didn't even care to lift anymore. He was strong as hell and hadn't even reached his potential yet, but it didn't matter to him to be strong. For reference we were both fat kids, I was 5'7 215 at the time, he was 5'6 205. But still, it amazes me how strength just came naturally for him. And I hate the fact that he got it instead of me because I want to be strong while he couldn't care less nowadays. But that's how things went and I'm trying to build up my strength again after losing so much of it when I lost a lot of weight loss from a long time ago.

You bad ass.
If that depresses you, don't look up Franco Columbu.
Love Columbu. A very likeable guy.

I just looked him up on wikipedia. I compared his max's to Arnold's and wow, Columbu was so much stronger than Arnold despite being much smaller. Hell, he was extremely strong regardless of size. I just now remembered that scene where he picked up the car and moved it during the Pumping Iron movie now. Man the dude was a tank, a small one but very deceptive for his size at the same time.
Just remember that their arms are so short that they only need to lift 2" off their chest to reach full extension.
>4x BW deadlift baby.

Current pic...why not right? Currently @ 155lb and 6 foot 1. Have an amateur fight in 2 weeks and wanted to see if I could hit the required weight before. Didn't do any dehydration, just reduced carbs for the most part.
I'm short too. :/
I'll be here all week!
Short people that bench heavy kind of piss me off. Are there any exercises that people with long legs and long arms excel at that our shorter brethren do not?

Sup again, Fitness GAF.
Met with my ortho last Thursday to go over my MRI results. Doc told me I have a bulging disc at L5 S1, and also degenerative. He told me I should just stick to low impact for the rest of my life (swimming, low impact aerobics). Was kind of in a daze as he was going over it. I've been really depressed since then, even though my back's felt the best it's been for over 2 years, just doing my stretches and mobility exercises from moblitywod and what not.
I'm so angry and down on myself, I hate it. I'm trying to do as much research on the net as I can, but anybody here deal with the same sort of predicament? This shit blows.

See that dude on the left? He's the Gold medalist in the 94kg class at this year's Olympics. He totaled more than the next heaviest weight class and broke WRs in both the clean and total weight.

I herniated my L5-S1 disk when I was 18. I was just starting college, so it took me a few months to get home, have an MRI done and get an official diagnosis. I tried physical therapy, which is supposed to help the vast majority of cases, but it wasn't effective at all for me.
I was physically unable to make my body run or jog, or jump off the ground (really hard to explain to people, and even having gone through it, difficult for me to comprehend). I couldn't bend down in any way to tie my own shoes, and had constant pain down my left leg in any kind of seated position.
At that point, I consulted with my doctor and my dad (who is also a surgeon) and decided to have surgery. Made a complete recovery. Zero symptoms remain, and I'm currently squatting and deadlifting heavy without any issues.
Surgery is not the best option most of the time. It's expensive and risky. I was very lucky to still be young (meaning I recovered/healed well, fully and quickly), and have great medical care. However, I still like to present it as an option to others in similar situations so people don't write it off entirely.

Are you boxing or doing MMA? And what weight class are you in. I hope you're not planning on fighting at 155(or 154 if this is boxing) at your natural weight. Practically everybody cuts weight nowadays in either sport. Good luck though with your match.

I do Muay Thai and combat Sambo matches. THIS IS my weight cut lol. I was 180lbs 3 months ago. Im in super welterweight for kickboxing which is 147-154 lbs so I got 1lb left to go for the actual weigh in. I am just really happy I was able to steadily decrease to 155 with increased cardio, compound lifts (its amazing but I can lift more now than before), reduced carbs, and do ZERO of any sort of dyhydration. If I were to drop the cardio and eat how I really want I can see myself ballooning back to 180 within a few weeks.

Oh ok, how much do you think you weigh on the day of the fight? Is this your natural weight now or will you go up 10 pounds practically overnight or something like that?
