    Anybody got advice for keeping a consistent schedule of training?

    In addition to all the suggestions so far, I would like to add one thing that really helped me stay consistent which was to change my perspective. What I mean by that is I started looking at fitness goals in terms of months and years instead of days and weeks. I give myself goals for the month...

    Wow, you are definitely getting the most out of Scrivener! Now that I know more details, it is probably easier to copy and paste into OpenOffice/Google Docs. If you decided to start saving each writing project separately, the compile feature might be more helpful, but then you have the added...

    Gotcha and thanks for the article! My wife has Scrivener and I played around a little bit with the compile feature and it can do everything you need to format your manuscript based on the formatting guidelines in the article you posted. It reminds me a lot of formatting and submitting college...

    Yay! If you don't mind sharing, what are the specific formatting requirements you need for your manuscript?

    It sounds to me like learning how to compile your story directly into a Word document in Scrivener is going to be the simplest (but not easiest) option. Libre Office is another open source word processor that you can try and it is very friendly with MS Word document conversion too. Congrats on...

    Air Fryer Pizza

    Awesome! The crispy-ness is addicting. I find myself trying air fry everything now! That is a cool combo you have there. I'm super jealous!

    Air Fryer Pizza

    I am super curious to see how your calzone turns out! I don't think I did a great job of explaining myself. Our toaster oven has a removable rack like in a regular oven rack. So what I do is take that out while it preheats and then build the pizza on a piece of foil on top of the rack. Then...

    Air Fryer Pizza

    I am not a chef, in fact I am very a average cook, but I love pizza and have both an air fryer and a toaster oven so this post resonated with me! Having said that, here is my two cents. As far as air frying a pizza, I have never tried that because what I have observed with our air fryer is that...

    High rep squats and deadlifts

    I'm not sure if they beat all other substitutes, but I do high rep/low weight squats and dead lifts and have built some strong legs and lower back muscles. You can try to slow down your eccentric contractions (down part of the rep for both) or use very light weights to add variation or...

    Struggling dad. Could use some help, motivation.

    I am not in the exact same situation, but I can relate to being a father as I have 2 kids, but I am a few years older, about to be 42 this December. Without getting into to many details, it sounds like your are starting in the right place in making a change for you and for your own well being...

    AMA October 2023 - Resistance Training, Isometric & Calisthenic Exercises

    As a general rule of thumb, what are the pros and cons to using isometric and "range of motion" resistance training? Or rather what are the best circumstances to use isometric and traditional resistance exercises in a strength routine? These questions were inspired by previous AMA posts and PNF...

    Question about substituting normal and reverse lounges

    Congrats on your progress so far! I just wanted to add that you could try doing the lunges, but just not all the way down. Maybe just try partial lunges until your legs get stronger and slowly build up to a full lunge. In other words, go as deep as you can while still feeling comfortable and...
