TooColdUlrick, I find that your myspace advice works like magic! I didn't have many replies, but when I started posting bulletion with short jokes.. gee... women started messaging me! Even those who were not my friends??!.. Maybe they feel teh pressure of V Day coming, I have no idea...

I started talking to about 5 new chicks online a couple of days ago. I am still building a rapport, so I am not planning to ask anyone out before Valentine's day. But what am I supposed to tell those chicks on that day? Nothing, i.e. did not send any emails? Or pretend it that "holiday" doe...

What is the cheaper source of protein? Lets see. I buy 2.5lb chicken breasts for $7. It means 1 gram of chicken protein costs me about $0.0198/gram. (Here is the table with protein content in different foods http://teaching.ucdavis.edu/nut10/handouts/content.pdf) Eggs protein is going...

So I saved for the downpayment and fix ups, mortgage payments and closing costs. Found a partner who is a handyman and have a decent credit score. Went to a bank to figure out if we can get a home loan. For a modest house of $150, payments will be about $1200 per month (PITI, i.e. taxes...

Amazingly one of the cheapest protein source is.. peanut butter. I buy a small tub (510g) for $1.30. Maybe if you buy a larger one you can get even lower in price. This small tub contains 7 g of protein per serving (32g). (510g/32g)*7g=111.6g of protein in a tub. One gram of protein...

I hurt somehting in my shoulder when working with dumbells and when I do bench presses it hurts. It has been weeks since I hurt it and I have learnt that doing shoulder exercises prevents the shoulder from healing :( I guess I have to options here: a) Stop doing anything shoudler related...

I have read about this recipe: 1. Have two bank accounts in different banks. 2. Apply for a loan at a first bank. Get a loan of $1000. 3. Deposit it at the second bank. 4. After a day get $1000 from bank 2 and bring it to bank one to pay off the loan. This sounds simple and in fact a...

So I started lifting a couple of month ago. All is good, but I accidentally looked in the mirror and saw my arms... gee... I am about 16% bf and lost maybe just 1% and there is already some dark veins I can see very clearly... If you lose mosre fat, it will be just veins :( I feel very...

Does anyone invest in bonds? I found that it is possible to invest in municipal bonds. High grade AAA bonds could pay 8-10%. Capital gain from bonds is exempt from local and state taxes, it esspentially means I should not pay my local 3.9% tax. So the interest can be as high as 12-14%...

I started wotking out and enjoyed some decent newbie gains: when I started I barely could do 70ln bench press on a machine(!) now I press 150. My goal was to get bigger. But this is not really happening: I went from 155 to 165lb in about 4 month, but it is not going anywhere further. In this...

I am thinking about including some cardio in my workout. I am skinny but at the same time some decent amount of fat (around 16%). I noticed that most people in the gym do not run, they walk on treadmills. Some walk faster, some slower but 99% of the walk and not run. What do you think is...

I have a buddy who kept saying he is going to invest his extra money by buying land. From his opinion the land appreciation for a good lot in a good place can be around 5-6% per year. There are several problems: 1. The land appreciation might be well below 5-6%. I am not sure? 2. Taxes on...

If somebody ask you this question you would probably ask him back "In what sense the smartest?" Lets talk about creativity and world wide importantce of it: in term sof Nobel prize laureates (per capita). According to this source...

I started lifting just 2-3 months ago, have been doing full body workout 2-2.5 times a week mixing everything I see in the gym (free weights\machines) and since I am a beginner it worked for me very well: I had some good relative gains. So I have been doing 1 set of everything, totally maybe...

I am new to the gym, so for now I stick to a simple full body workout. But Is it ok to mix sets? i.e. instead of doing lets say 3 sets of biceps one after another, I'd do 1 set for biceps, then 1 set for shoulders, then one set for chest.. then I'd do back and do anothet set for biceps, one set...

I started working out biceps just two months ago (didn't work out before). I do a preacher curl on two different machines. The odd thing is that the most part of the biceps are never sore or tired. But muscles next to the inner elbow, i.e. lower part of the bicep and other muscles in the...

We met online, have talked over the phone, set up a date. She canceled the date on two hours before the date. We all know what to do: next her and look for other opportunities. But I am sure it was a blatant sh** test, because she left a message " blah blah.. call me on my cell **** or home...

Literally she quite evasively dodged from a kiss. I suspect she was just a trivial AW and I misjudged her interest level. Anyway, what do you do\say after a failed attempt to kiss? It is a bit awkward to pretend that nothing happend and continue the convo. From the other point of view - if she...

I started working out mainly to get bigger. According to most people here 4-6 reps could be optimal for bulking. When I do 4-6 reps I feel I still have lots of energy, but no way I can do another rep. So it goes like this: I do 6 reps in the first set. Then maybe 4-5, and on the third I...

It has been more than 3 days and still feel very sore after a workout. Is there any kind of "medicine" against it except rest?
