    I have grape bubblegum or something like that and it tastes awful, but still a good product. I'll have to try the blue raspberry.

    Has anyone had a thyroid-issue which got fixed ? Effects ?

    Was about 225-230 when I started taking medication and I'm currently about 185. Keep in mind, this was combined with diet & exercise. When I started getting serious about losing weight I wasn't losing much at all, I think about 1lb in the first month or two. After I started the medication I...

    ASP.NET MVC Extra HtmlHelpers Libraries?

    Have you looked at MVC Contrib - http://mvccontrib.codeplex.com/? I know this library has a bunch of stuff in it, maybe it'll be of some use. Sorry, I haven't played with it much to tell you for sure.

    Has anyone had a thyroid-issue which got fixed ? Effects ?

    I have issues with my thyroid. I went and got tested two years ago when I was having a lot of trouble losing weight combined with always being tired at work. Got put on medication that I'll be taking for the rest of my life, but it seems to have fixed the problems. Took a couple months to get...

    good mat to use while jumping rope?

    Rubber horse mats might work. Should absorb some of the impact without messing with your stability at all.

    Boxing.... Too late to start at 29? (Anyone here into Boxing?)

    Not this again... You're not going to be at a bar and have Randy Couture & Manny Pacquiao start a fight with you, so just pick whatever martial art you find enjoyable if you're looking for self defense. This idea that you have to train in a specific art to be able to protect yourself is...

    Boxing.... Too late to start at 29? (Anyone here into Boxing?)

    a.) If you're doing amateur boxing, you won't be at any more risk than you would in any other sport. In addition to wearing protective gear, the rules are a lot stricter to protect fighters. b.) No one is really prepared to box, especially those who grew up with a half-decent life. You'll...

    Pre-workout supplement

    I have a decent 60-90 minute commute home, and this winter it has been tough to go workout when I get home. I workout in my basement, but I'm usually tired and wouldn't do it. I just started taking Jack3d a couple weeks ago and I like it. It gives me enough energy to get my ass in gear and I'm...

    Inability to wake up?

    I'm like that. For me I'm not sure it's a matter of not getting enough sleep, I just have trouble waking up. If I'm able to force myself out of bed, wash-up, and eat, then I'm good to go the rest of the day. It's tough on weekends, I don't have as much willpower and tend to oversleep.

    Starting Strength Experiences

    Right, but it's a program for beginners, who have no business modifying the goddamn routine. I don't think anyone is saying that it's a program you have to do for life. But when it comes to those new to lifting, it's hard to beat either program. I prefer SS simply because of Power Cleans.

    Death to Agile?

    I would agree with that. There is no magic formula to guarantee success in software development. Any project can fail, regardless of the methodology, and for a lot of reasons that don't necessarily relate to the particular methodology. Poorly constructed or managed teams will usually end in...

    Recommend me shoes for jump roping

    This. Either use the shoes that you already have or go barefoot. Buying special shoes for jump rope is a waste of money, unless you're already in the market for shoes and just need an excuse to buy them.

    this is the perfect diet I have decided. Very healthy cheap instant + no washing up

    Either a good troll thread or op is a total retard. If you really do go through with this, be sure to update us all in a couple of weeks when you're in the hospital.

    Punching bag workouts?

    Yeah I'd recommend this as well. You can't really teach yourself proper form. And if you try it on your own you're likely to hurt your wrists or not properly wrap your hands and mess them up as well.

    Good sushi for lunch in Vegas?

    I'm heading out to Vegas over Superbowl weekend and I am trying to find some half-decent sushi for lunch. Unfortunately, it seems like most of the good places only do dinner. Anyone have any recommendations of places to try? I'd prefer something on or close to the strip. On a side note, anyone...

    I would like to lift more, but I'm not sure how to fit it in..

    And many of their bodies are science experiments. Unless you're on the Barry Bonds Diet, you're not going to be able to do that much work and have your body be able to keep up.
