Garth Brooks just today announced four additional (now six total) shows in Omaha and I'm posting this link to anyone that updated their FB status about getting tickets. This is the only thing people should care about in the music industry today. I'm a giant troll.

Yes, this is great information. Another word people rarely consider when trying a new "diet" is SUSTAINABILITY. I love the anecdote above - if you're miserable, you're more likely to gain it back. I couldn't have said it better myself.

This guy is the fucking man.

Don't be afraid of carbs as long as they're coming from actual food (whole grains, vegetables, etc.). I've been losing weight and gaining muscle with a 50/30/20 carbs/fat/protein split. Carbs will give you natural energy and help you work harder and recover quicker.

Be aware that many (if not MOST) pre-workout supplements contain caffeine. I don't drink any pop, coffee, etc. and when I tried these, I felt like I was going to jump through the roof. Then, when I stopped using them (personal decision), I got bad aches for the first few days. I won't say they don't work - it's all…

Yep. I try and add them wherever I can. Those Steamfresh bags are very helpful when I don't feel like cutting up a bunch of Brussels sprouts or broccoli.

Why do I have to offer an alternative to "ignoring BMI"? It's a bogus statistic that many studies have rendered absolutely meaningless.

Exactly. The only real fitness advice that's going to help everyone, should they choose to follow, is "don't be a fucking idiot."

I don't disagree. I was referring only to the suggestion that anyone should spend three seconds retrieving a "baseline" body fat % from the size of their waste.

Ignoring BMI.

The website itself is great. I just recently welcomed myself to 2010 and got an iPad and the app for tablets is awesome, functional and also very user-friendly.

Understood, and I'm not trying to be argumentative for argument's sake. But it provides little to no value, even as a baseline. Using your waist size to determine your body fat %, even as a 'general rule of thumb' is horrible to even suggest, IMHO.

It's from MyFitnessPal.com. There are free apps for mobile devices and tablets that are very user-friendly. There are tons of things that are already uploaded to the database and you can add others as you find them missing. It will also break down this information into graphs and other charts should you find those…

It's a tricky thing, no doubt. I actually enlisted the help of a registered dietician to help me get my diet on track. I do spend 6-7 days in the gym, typically burning 600 calories from interval cardio training and then another 45-60 minutes lifting (usually spend 90 minutes each morning in the gym). I am 6' tall and…

I still don't understand people that reference it even as a base line, because it's NOT. There is nothing meaningful about someone's BMI if I can have a 6'3" NBA point guard that weights 245 pounds of steel and muscle, and they have the same reading as a 6'3" couch potato without an ounce of muscle on him. It's not…

And those god-awful 'assumptions' for body fat % based off of waist size alone. I stopped reading there and headed straight for the comments.

It does look like a lot, but it's actually fairly easy to attain. I'm currently in the 2,800 calorie range for my cut and the only supplement I take is a single scoop of protein powder (approximately 20g) added to two cups of milk as part of my breakfast. Below is a screen shot of my food log from yesterday that came…

Nevermind listening - WATCHING a Mike & Mike broadcast live sounds like something out of a Saw movie.

Damn. Embarrassed I already hit submit before scrolling down.

I guess that's all, folks.
