Some Candy Man you are.
I don't even like candy and I am allergic to chocolate...
That's why I was always in charge of the candy sales in elementary school, they knew I wouldn't eat it.

Anyone know where to get a cheap in home squat stand or rack online or stores?
Squats being the king of exercises and all,(flood release of testosterone) i really need to start going heavier. I do 135 for 10 reps 5 sets for now. All i can do without risk to injury. It still gets my legs pretty good, but those in the know know it needs to go higher eventually. I seen some squat stands online that look like they would do the trick for like 150ish. Just wondering if anyone has one.
I'm really starting to feel a consistent "growing" feeling in my last and my pecs, it's like I was working them out before, and even though I pushed as hard as I could, it was like they were just firming up to do more, but now I really sense a growth and change in these areas.
It's funny how much your perspective on things can change as you progress.
A few months ago, folks had commented about how I could be at where I'd like to be after about a year's worth of work, and my reaction then was that sucks, I don't want it to take a whole year.
Now, I'm upbeat about losing 40lbs in 6 months, I'm excited that I should hit my 60lb goal by the end of summer, and knowing that by the end of the year I will have utterly resculpted my body is an amazing feeling, and that'll basically be a year's time.
It's no good to get wrapped up in time frames when you're starting, I think it can beat you down and make you feel like you're not going to get things done, but if you just let your mind focus on doing it and shot term progress week to week, at some point you'll look back, realize it's been that long period you weren't too happy about facing when you started and feel good about what you've done.
Rory, just for clarity's sake, a vegetarian diet is not what's best for most people. Most people are actually protein deficient, from only eating crappy over-processed meats.Most important thing for my health and pretty much for everyone's health is limiting or cutting out the amount of red meat you consume. You will feel a difference. I preach more about diet because so often do people just think that working out will take them where they want to go. You can work out all you want but if you don't adjust your diet appropriately you aren't getting anywhere.
Adam- I'm so proud of you! Really!

Getting rid of the junk food and eating real, whole natural food is what's making you feel better. Your body is able to cleanse out some of the toxins from the processed junk and is finally getting the nutrition it has long craved and deserved.
If everyone ate this way- the way you do - but added good quality beef and chicken, NOT fast food, NOT cold cuts, NOT frozen or packaged foods, etc but good quality respectfully cooked protein, *that* is when optimum health can be achieved.
Never in the history of mankind has there been an indiginous race or culture of people *ever* who were vegetarian without it being a religious practice. It is a man-made decision not a natural one.
And, personally, I think it's quite arrogant to believe we can improve upon Mother Nature or God or whatever word you wanna insert in there.
If we were not meant to consume meats, our stomachs would not secret hydrochloric acid (for meat digestion) nor would we even have gallbladders which are only needed to consume animal fats. I could go on, but won't- it's boring.
For the record, when I switched my diet over to a high fat, high cholesterol diet not only did I lose weight but have never been stronger nor healthier nor more fit, nor had more energy. I no longer have dry skin and no one guesses my age.
And I continue to improve every year.
But I rarely eat junk food- mostly vegetables, meats and dairy, very little grain and at least 1/3 of my diet is raw.
If you really do the research into what peoples of the planet are the healthiest and longest living, you will rarely find a vegetarian. Sure there may be one or two, but not when comparing races or cultures.
