    Gym Boss?

    It can only be programmed for two intervals for the same amount of time (so, e.g. 1-2-1-2-1-2 is ok but 1-2-3-1-2-3 is not which was a disappointment for me.)

    The Fitnessfreak appreciation thread

    I agree. In addition to having a lot of knowledge, she has a lot of patience. There is one earlier thread that goes on and on and on, and it is amazing how patiently she responds to each question.

    Need next step help - Debbie & others please, thanks

    Hi Debbie, Thank you very much for your response, that is very useful. Not sure if your question is directed at OP or both of us, but I am trying to gain some muscle and lose some fat at the same time (though Tom Venuto says both cannot be done at the same time, so I feel like my objective is...

    Need next step help - Debbie & others please, thanks

    Not the OP, but I am curious too. Not specifically about this one, but I see this kind of "next rotation" questions come up, and I myself constantly try to decide which rotation is optimal for me as the next one. I would love to know how you decide (i.e. I don't want fish, I want to learn how...

    BodyBugg vs GoWearFit - Please help!!

    Glad it was useful. Re: your earlier post about the calorie range. There is a huge range indeed, even the (detailed) calculators by John Berardi on his two different webpages give numbers that differ by more than 100. I asked on the Precision Nutrition forum about it, and his response was...

    Precision Nutrition V3 - What do you think?

    When you pay the price, you get a combination of the convenience of having all the information in one place (though I did find a lot more detailed articles by Berardi online) + (relatedly) spending less time digging this information + access to member zone (I actually registered before I...

    Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle

    As far as eating is concerned, the message I got out of it is 1) eat 5-7 short meals, each with some protein; 2) drink lots of water; 3) eat foods in their most natural form as much as possible; 4) don't restrict your calories dramatically; 5) eat complex carbs; 5) watch your macros; 6) zig zag...

    Home buying advice

    But 2004-2005 is already after the bubble. I would first get an estimate from a period before the bubble started. For example: take a house that was worth $100,000 February 2003. At an approximate annual inflation rate of 3% for 6 years (from 2003 February), it should have increased...

    Home buying advice

    All I am saying is that comparable sale prices in the last few months or last few years are meaningless and I myself would not use it to determine a price on a house I am buying or selling. Instead, I would 1) figure out an estimate from a stable period ideally using actual transaction prices...

    Home buying advice

    I would like to go 6-7 years ago but zillow does not have that estimate. That's why as a quick check I suggest looking at price estimate from 10 years ago in zillow. Then growing that estimate at the inflation rate (again, subject to no major changes in the neighboorhood that would justify a...

    Home buying advice

    I wouldn't put much weight on comparable sales in this economy. There is no reason to think that anyone is pricing the houses appropriately at the moment (or since 2002-2003 for that matter), and in fact, the main reason we had a housing bubble is because people started paying for houses based...

    Depressing calorie burn

    Hi Sandra, My understanding is with strength training a lot of the calorie burn occurs afterwards as the muscles are recovering, so I wouldn't worry about the HRM readings. P.S. I am still amazed with your results and visit your blog whenever I need some motivation/inspiration.
