I agree.. focus on the problem; your grip. Don't just work around it.. My forearms get smoked too when I do pullups but I work through it and my pullups get better.. Chalk will help the sweaty issue and sure, if you only want to focus on your back then go ahead and use straps but guess how...

Ahh true.. good point, could be that too

haha now you're just confusing him!

No clue.. maybe you're allergic to one of the soaps you use? or maybe the steam loosens up everything in your sinuses and makes you want to sneeze.

Great job, keep at it! Once you reach your goal don't stop...

haha exactly!

Yeah if you're younger and it hasn't been in its stretched out state for too long then sure it might snap back completely.. but if you're older, been overweight for a while and/or have stretch marks.. then your skin isn't going to be as elastic... creams can help but they're not going to give...

I meant to say that I count the sled weight on the leg press machine whenever I use it.

Yeah definitely count the bar... I even count the sled weight on things like leg presses, I don't think most do that though

The only reason I do it is because then I'm not as inclined to binge on a meal.. if I go too long without eating I'll probably eat more than I need to...

I don't trust those things at all.. I'll stick with fiber

Yeah your shoulders should already be back.. you have to keep your body tight through the whole movement..

Eat them however you like them but try not to over do it.. you CAN overeat, even with vegetables.. But usually they're pretty low in calories. Why not just have them with two or three of your meals/snacks in a day? You body needs fuel often

I rest and recover.. make sure I get good sleep and DON'T do a workout..

Yeah when I run stairs I usually have that exercise set in it's own day.. I wouldn't run them after lifting or before.. But I also don't run stairs 3 or 4 times a week.

My uncle did it for a while and saw some good results with it but I agree that it's not going to last forever.. you'll have to switch things up because you'll most likely hit a stall point

Yeah when I do them stairs aren't my only exercise.. and I do them for bursts of strength not stamina.. the steps aren't that long.. If you're doing a bunch of flights at once that'll work your stamina..

I did that last summer.. plan on starting again in the spring.. I use an outdoor amphitheatre along our river.. walk down the steps and then run up the seats (they're twice as high) Get a great burn from this.. good interval exercise

Seems like it'd be accurate but I doubt I'd get one myself... although it uses low radiation I'd rather not go that route unless I had to.

The water displacement tests are going to be the most accurate.. I had one of the bodyfat% scales and it wasn't that accurate at all and ended up not working after a while.
