limiting factors Hi, I hate to say it, but I nursed my golfer's elbow for quite a while. I didn't have any problems with my wrists, but I think they are pretty strong. I know I can do more cg pull ups, but I don't let my ego get the best of me. Like I said above, I think that certain...

pull ups Hi, I know that when I had my hands too close together for pull ups I got bad forearm pain/discomfort for days and it probably was golfer's elbow. By too close, I mean as my arms hang, my forearms are not perpendicular to the floor. I never get any with wide grip pull ups or chin ups...

p90x Hi, I wouldn't sub the workouts. For me, part of doing a new program is the shock that the body gets from doing something totally different. The workouts in p90x are effective. Maybe you could add the spinning back in and do doubles in phase 2. I know it is hard to change, but change is...

disc 9 Hi all, This will be my last disc to check in on because I'm on the 6 month rotation:( I am loving the leg workouts:D Due to some past injuries (2 herniated discs 2 years ago), I'm not able to go quite to failure, but it's close. The leg workouts are so comprehensive that I'm really...

dogs Hi, I've always had 3 dogs and have a 3 dog limit. I have 2 males and a female now, before my last Aussie passed away I had 2 females and a male. I've had breeds with strong temperaments and weak temperaments and I think it all depends on your status in the pack and the dogs. Dogs are...

weight Hi, My husband had been working out pretty religiously for the last 2 years and still could not lose the last 15 lbs. He always refused to listen to what I told him about his diet. Calorie wise, he was not consuming anywhere close to what you would have thought he would need because he...

thanks cathe Hi, Thanks for responding to my question about the leaning overhead tricep extensions. I'll go a little lighter with my weight. That is probably why I can't get my shoulder in the correct position. I'm excited to do disc 9 tonight, because I love to work legs:) Tracy

Disc 8 Hi all, I did disc 8 yesterday and it was great! I can definitely see my strength improving and I was able to do quite a few unassisted chin ups for both rounds.;) That exercise is always a good strength indicator for me. The pull ups at the end are mean:mad: and of course all...

Jason Hi, I guess that Jason couldn't have predicted that the show would end up like it did, but I am assuming that when he signed the contract he knew that this would be the scenerio if it didn't work. Having said that, there are all sorts of compromises that many people would not agree to...

skillet Hi, I have a run of the mill cast iron skillet that I paid $20 for and it's the best pan that I have. I seasoned it myself in the oven and nothing sticks to it. I also bought a Calaphan stew pot for about $40 on sale at Macy's a few years ago. It's cast iron with ceramic coating...

Jason Hi, Boy was I disappointed when Jason ditched Mellissa on national television. The sad look, the half tears, I mean come on. All I can say is what a turn off! He could be so upset and do something so crummy. Well, I made a lot of other comments to DH, but I won't post them here. Does...

the scale Hi all, I was a slave to the scale for years. I can remember faithfully getting on the scale and then worrying myself to death over why I was up a pound or two from the day before. I finally broke the habit and rely on the mirror, my clothes, plus a healthy dose of common sense...

disc 7 Hi all, I did disc 7 yesterday. After reading the posts, I feel like I was doing a different disc because I thought 7 was darn hard! The two sets of 1.5 pushups into the 30 regular pushups was just plain mean and I love pushups. Overall it was a great workout, and I'm looking...

Disc 7 Just about did me in! I love pushups, but the 2 sets of 1.5's and then the 30 were pure torture. :mad:I'm hoping it will be a little better when I do it again next week. I barely eeked out the staggered pushups; the last 4 were not pretty. :( I know this must have been posted, but I...

resource Hi, If you search PF on Runner's World it has some videos and stretches that I don't think have been mentioned here. It's worth a look. As far as inside shoes, for me it had to be something that distributed my weight across my entire foot, but like everything else, everyone is...

PF Hi, I had it bad several years ago and ended up using the stationary bike for my cardio for a while. Now I can do whatever I want without any trouble. I am very careful about all of the shoes that I wear. Here's another vote for New Balance Shoes. I wear 1007 or whatever the current one...

men Hi all, I have a kind of funny story. DS, who is 19, is working out and asked me what he could do the other day and I said that there are plenty of Cathe's down there. He said, "Look I don't like working out with a woman that can lift more weight and do more reps than I can." I'm like...

disc 5 Hi all, I'm just passing through doing the 6 month rotation. This week and next week just happen to coincide. I did Disc 5 for the second time yesterday. I love the STS workouts. I think that the meanest thing about discs 3 and 5 is putting the pull ups at the end. If they are at the...

Amy Hi, I really enjoy Amy's cardio as a nice change of pace. She cues very differently than Cathe, but every instructor has their own way of cueing. I personally love her Hi/Lo and I hated Hi/Lo before I found Amy's. Some of it is really high impact though. KBX is fun and challenging and so...

vice A handful, well I try to make it less than 20, I think that's a serving, of chocolate chips, probably most days of the week. Tracy Oh, and on the weekends homemade chocolate chip waffles made with white flour. They sure are good. The little chips are all hot and gooey when you bite...
