Hey Jag,

I found a film that I thought you might have an interest in. The film is available on Netflix instant streaming:

Forks over Knives

diet and processed foods, incredible means of history of foods and the changes, with history.

Your progress is great!
I went back to my old love Swimming. Shall check in weekly now, so I can assure myself the time and efforts are being spent wisely.
Keep looking great, for us others with the goals.

Without a spotter, how did you manage to get the bar off?

 

[Halo]

Great work Jag, way to attack the bench!

 

[jagbender]

Without a spotter, how did you manage to get the bar off?

Uh that was a trick! usually I don't use bar clamps so I can tip the bar and let the weights fall off one side then the other. BUT I was feeling weak on my strong (right) side and the plates were slipping. So I put the clamps on. On the last attempt I couldn't get it on the hooks so I had to let the bar rest on the left catch bar and slide the whole bar down to the ground. So the bar was resting on the floor and catch bar and I had to slide out from under it.

That is why I don't use clamps. I have had to dump them a couple of times.

Normally I don't use the clamps either.

sure makes it a lot easier to dump the weights

This looks like fitday.com. I used to use it until I found myfitnesspal.com. It had a much better database, more features and a handy phone app.

that 's good to know. I have added a lot of Custom foods now and I eat a lot of the same things daily so it isn't too bad.

Does myfitnesspal had a droid app? or just iphone

 

[Mkpaint]

i'm using mynetdiary but have used fitness pal and it had a larger data base, but on mynetdiary i can customize my fat/carb/protien ratios and helps me to plan meals since i eat on the fly at work alot. i can see what i need and attack the fridge.lol
