Cleaner [klee-ner] adj
1. characteristic valued by a programmer's personal preference for something that cannot otherwise be justified using accepted Software Engineering principles: This approach increases cyclomatic complexity and reduces encapsulation. It's cleaner, do it.
(Dear haters,
No, I don't think I'm smarter than Robert C. Martin. I think that people who write the kind of code Mr Martin preaches don't need to resort to using "cleaner" as a bludgeon. They can explain naturally and fluidly how a particular solution follows the practices, patterns and principles that make for 'clean code.')

Gym without barbells. How do I get close to Starting Strength? You don't say how strong you are already. I would grab a big dumbbell and do goblet squats before resorting to the leg press machine, unless you're already so strong 10 reps with the biggest dumbbell the gym has is too easy. You lose all that hip and core stability training on the machine. |

This Exercise Enough for me in a day? " And we don't get a time for anything else." Make Time. If you're even marginally capable, you can write your own check in today's job market as a programmer. Your current employer is not worth decades of poor health. |

Should I do cardio if I want to gain muscle weight and lose fat? The answer to your question lies in picking which one of those three competing goals is most important to you. If there were a program that maximized all three, we'd all be on it ;) |

Can you overuse a foam roller? Anecdotally I've been using it minimum 3 times/week for over two years and have not developed any problems. The extent to which a particular muscle is worked can be over done. If you get to the point where it is too tired or too painful to relax the bone into the roller and you're just riding around on top of a hard/contracted muscle, that is backward progress. |

Is working out localized muscle going to help burn fat in that area more than building up overall muscle mass? There is absolutely nothing mandatory about "cardio" as it is traditionally understood for losing body fat :) |

My in-apartment gym lacks barbells. Should I join a new gym or buy my own barbell? +10,000 just get out there and move! You can get plenty strong with dumbbell workouts and will understand your own body and goals better to be able to make a decision after reaching a basic level of fitness anyway. |
