So I have bumped up my cals to around 2500 a day. I have seen some good improvements in the weight room (specifically I have worked up to being able to do my last three sets of bench at 185), but my weight has remained pretty constant. I have been taping my waist, hips and chest and have used...

Ok, I think I will try HIIT on the stationary. How much time would constitute a good HIIT workout? How many days a week?

I do go for longer bike rides (did a few century rides) but I don't see those as terribly intense cardio workouts because I usually average between 12-15 mph.

Well I have been getting through it for several weeks now on about 1500 cals a day. I don't have a problem with energy or anything like that (I actually have a lot more energy than I used to). But I totally understand that I need to eat more to keep my metabolism in check. I just don't want...

For food, a typical day might be this: Breakfast - Bowl of special k, skim milk Snack - Granola bar Lunch - Tuna on whole wheat Snack - Apple Dinner - Soup, trail mix Snack - Fat free cottage cheese I also drink almost 0 calories in liquids per day. Most liquid intake is water, but...

I always feel full or bloated if I eat more than that during the week. As far as cardio, I don't have a lot of time after my workouts for cardio, what kind of cardio do you recommend?

Finally got back to working out hard about a month ago. I used to be in great shape in high school and then again for a bit in college, but once I got to law school it all went down hill. I had little muscle and a lot of fat and weighed 250lbs at 5'10". That was a month ago and since then...

OK, I'm moving into a 3 bedroom apartment in a few weeks and we need to setup something for internet access. We have boiled it down to 3 options (in order from least desirable to most): 1. Since all the rooms have cable, we each get our own cable modem and not even setup a network. 2. We...

Anyone else?

49 C is a fine temp. A 2X burner? That's pretty damn old. I'm willing to bet that the burning software simply cannot fully recognize/work with that burner. Why not pick up a new one? Even the fastest ones can be had for under $50. Check out the Hot Deals forum.

Well I have no qualms destroying it except that I need a replacement!

My Maxtor 100 Gb hard drive recently died. When I power up I hear rapid clicking sounds and my my system is unable to recognize it. The drive is about a year old and is still covered under warrenty. I wanted to send it in for an RMA, but I have sensitive data on the drive. I have backups of...

I need some kinda of system to control fan speed. I was looking at some Rheostats, but I noticed they are all 3 pin connections. All of the fans I need to control have 4 pin connections. Do they make rheostats for 4 pin connections?

I believe the rebate is fine as long as you bought the drive before 1-30-03. rebatehq.com still has a link for the rebate on their site.

OK, fair enough. I've been looking at two different kinds, which do you all suggest? Samsung Original DDR400 PC-3200 512MB - OEM Version DDR 400MHz True PC 3200 chip (Not over clock from PC-2700 chip) CL3 or CORSAIR MEMORY XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series 512MB 32MX8 PC-3200C2 With Heat...
