@terryrose You absolutely can, especially if it's a nice Hybrid/Comfort bike and not something from Wal-mart or somewhere similar. I rode my crappy old Schwinn bike from Target on a bunch of 20-35 mile rides before I basically broke something on it. Next, I got a nice Hybrid bike (Trek FX)...

@pinkyviolet01 I agree if someone needs to use it. I should have said that my gym only has one squat rack and nothing else that has a full size olympic bar so that is the only choice if you want to use a 45lb. bar. We also have one other smaller bar that I sometimes use for overhead press...

@elmerrm2007 Not sure why you are getting downvoted. I've never taken a spin class but they are done in a closed room at my gym and the music sounds insanely loud. I can hear it from pretty far away with the doors shut. It's the same with most of the other classes too... except Yoga. Yoga is...

@pinkyviolet01 I use the squat bar and set it on the floor right behind the squat rack. So yes, I am sort of in the middle of the floor doing deadlifts but not in the middle of the gym as the squat rack is off in one corner of the gym. I would feel a little self-conscious if I was in the...

@jesusdaughter155 Judging by my grandparents, they ate less, they did more manual labor, and they smoked and drank, which curbed appetite. And of course the modern diet where too many people eat stuff out of boxes and almost everything from restaurants is crazy high in calories. I can make...

@rovanpenny If you like being choked, the front squat is for you. /s Start really light if you want to try it, it takes some getting used to and you might need to work on flexibility to get your shoulders up high enough. The fronts of your shoulders (front delts) might get sore from the...

@ravenblue I was wondering about McDonalds little burgers when I posted so your response made me go look. You are correct: The little McDonalds Hamburgers are 12g, Cheeseburgers 15g. I am sure there are protein supplements out there that are 36g for one serving but I do think saying the same...

@ibelong I agree with what you posted - whey is just to get more protein if you can't get it another whey (haha) What? This doesn't sound right to me. Hamburgers from where? My serving of ON Gold Standard Chocolate is 24g At Five Guys I get the small bunless burger, it's 20g

@robofan Thanks for the invite, I will!

@toop 40K is impressive! I was thinking of Disney too. I went last year and we did 20-25K per day.

@tedpolaris I don't have personal experience of that much weight loss but based on my reading of other people's /r/progresspics and comments there: I feel like if you just lost 100 pounds, it's loose skin and it will take some time to tighten up. I think 5' 10" and below 155 might be low...

@dawn16 Yes. I thought I would die at first. At least for me, it got easier after the first 5 minutes so at first I knew I had to push through that. I start 4 levels higher now than I used to and go up from there. The first 5 minutes is no longer hard but I start getting crazy sweaty around...

@arealwomanalwyz On the deadlift it looks like you are going around your knees on the way down. On the way down you want to break at the hips and move them back but not bend your knees until the bar passes your knee. The view isn't the best because of that other machine so I'm not 100% sure...
