About Me
I am married and have three daughters. Between work and family, I try to find time to exercise. I suppose that from my family's perspective, I find too much time ;). My favorite form of exercise is weightlifting. It burns calories and builds muscle. I have lifted weights for many years but it wasn't until a little over a year ago that I found a website called StrongLifts.com that I was inspired to lift weights progressively. In other words, progressively add weights when you train so that you keep the body from fully adapting and thereby you keep building muscle mass. It took me a while to learn that this type of exercise is not the same as bodybuilding. You get bigger muscles but not that big. You get strong muscles. You get an increased metabolism. I am stronger than I have ever been in my life and it makes day to day chores a lot easier. I am not so good at doing cardio. I tend to use my "spare" time to lift weights which does provide cardio benefit. I have a Polar heart rate monitor that I use during lifting and for lower weight exercises, I rest less to keep heart rate up. I burn 500-800kcal every time I lift. I like biking but probably more from a perspective of getting out and travelling rather than as a form of exercise. I also like working on home projects at a pace that does provide some cardio benefits. Nice to get done and see your effort. Hard to peek at your heart and see how it's doing :). As far as nutrition goes, I have a higher protein (1g of protein per 1lb of bodyweight) and lower carb diet. I am a typical endomorpth who gains weight with high carbs. I try to eat healthy fats and take fish oil supplements.

Chiropractor
I am going to call her today. I am wondering if all the stairs and beach walking while carrying a 27 pound child may have caused me to misaligned. We get free chiropractic because we fix her computers so it is not a big deal to go and see her. Thanks for the advice.

My knee
Thanks for checking up on me. My knee is still bugging me. Yesterday I tried running. By the time I got home not only did my knee hurt but my entire leg was charlie horsing. I am going to go to the doctor. I am really thinking now that it is my hip that is throwing everything off. But until I get to the doctor no running!

Squats and Presses
Have you thought about combining your squats and overhead presses? This is one of my favorite strength exercises. You do a squat with weights held at your sides, stand, then curl the weights up and press them over your head. Lower your arms the same way they went up.

No Squats for Nearly Two Weeks and Then...
I did some heavy yardwork over the weekend and woke up on Monday with sore upper back and glutes. Managed to finally get back to doing some squats after a two week hiatus. I squat deep while pushing my posterior backward which tends to always leave my glutes more sore than hamstrings. However, today my hams are sore and glutes are fine. I wonder if the yardwork already prepped them? Still could end up with DOMS tomorrow though.
