Considering I mentioned quad development specifically I think it’s safe to say I was talking about quad development specifically.

Agreed. There are some solid adjustable options for people on a budget as a flat bench those won’t be as good as a cheaper flat bench. The nicer adjustables are pretty solid as flat benches but you’re looking at prices around $500 at a minimum.

Also, the Concept2 BikeERG is my favorite bike option. Unlike an assault style bike, you can easily do LISS cardio but you can crank up the damper and do some HIIT style cardio as well. It is built like an absolute tank like everything from C2. Only con is it is loud due to being a fan but plug in some headphones and…

This is an area I consider myself to be quite familiar with, been home gyming it for about 5 years now and seen the market change dramatically. A lot of the stuff on this list is stuff I have never had nor do I ever plan to. That’s not because they aren’t great items, it’s because my training doesn’t necessitate them.

All in one home gym machines are typically trash. The cable ratios are such that the max load is like 50 lbs on a lot of them. The only ones that are worth buying are things like the Prime Prodigy rack which is like $6k.

I feel like magnatiles (and the similar variants) are great toys well beyond that age range. My seven year old is really enjoying them now more than when she was younger because she can build really cool stuff on her on. Before it was just her asking me to make her things.

Not sure if you saw Austin Baraki’s warmup to like a 600+lb squat in not much time but it was really interesting. He basically threw on a red and did one rep all the way up except for a few reps with the bar and the lighter weight sets. Made me realize I probably wasted too much time warming up so I changed things up…

And if you’re going to take some, make sure you have some food in your system to avoid those stomach ulcers mentioned.

Been a MFer since the beta days and I will continue to be one as long as I can imagine. It is just so good. Gone are the days of me wondering if I should alter my intake and what I should really shoot for. 

I don’t have a pediatrician, my kids are adults.

Good advice except number 5. Maxing out your 401k should DEFINITELY take priority over paying down your house unless maybe you are nearing retirement. If you have a high interest rate you should refinance, otherwise your rate shouldn’t be much more than 3%. Long term you are FAR better off with the compound growth you…

Stop interjecting your feelings into this, they don’t matter and you’re just deflecting and building typically anti-vax arguments. You said it before, the scientists running these trials know way more than you so why do you all of a sudden cast doubt on a sample size that is considered more than adequate?

First, have you considered consulting your pediatrician for their advice since they will be far more qualified to understand the research?

Right, the scientists conducting this study know a lot more than you or I so don’t you think they accounted for sample size in their analysis? I do have formal training in the statistics for experimental design but I won’t act like I am an expert in the field, however it isn’t that complicated really. They were…

How many scientific studies have you conducted? Have you taken advanced statistics courses on experimental design? Surely you’re not talking out of your ass here, I am sure you have actual real world experience in this for you to be commented so confidently.

lol that’s rich

If only we had actual experts, perhaps even doctors to weigh in on this instead of anonymous internet commenters

Next time you think you know something, stop.

The only turkey I have enjoyed is a smoked turkey. Any other way and I’ll pass completely except it’s the main protein so I get just enough and focus on the sides. I’m not a big ham person but it’s worlds better than turkey.

I agree with your choice but just because turkey just doesn’t taste good. There’s a reason we don’t often roast a turkey and that’s because there are way better food choices out there.
