I'm a quantitative analyst working on credit risk modeling at PNC Financial Services. I earned my PhD doing computational neuroscience, working with decision making processes and investigating functional connectivity between different parts of the human brain. I've also worked as a freelance web developer and IT consultant. One of my favorite pastimes is poi spinning.
You can learn more about me on my LinkedIn page. Feel free to contact me about anything and everything at eykanal at erikdev dot com.

barbell squat wrist problems I'm not asking about the elbows, I'm asking about the wrists. Keeping my wrists straight while doing the squat is the problem. |

Impact of Marijuana on training @Janis - I think, insofar as the published literature goes, there's basically no research. I would venture to say that anecdotal evidence would vary tremendously. However, I think that everyone will agree that in the long-er term, the secondary effects of lung and mental damage will cause problems with everything, including training. |

Impact of Marijuana on training @Janis @rmx - expanded to include some more discussion. This is a very odd discussion; would you cut off your leg so you could use this? Using drugs is very similar; you're hurting yourself, possibly very badly, to gain a minute edge in exercise. I'm missing the whole point, to be honest. |

Working out while slightly ill Your quote from the article doesn't accurately summarize the article's findings. In fact, they state the opposite. From the bottom of the fourth page of the article: "If the athlete has symptoms of a common cold with no constitutional upset, Roberts [51] recommended safely resuming training a few days after the resolution of symptoms." Your quote is relevant to "very competitive athletes who cannot afford to miss any training days, even when ill". |

Why are push-ups and sit-ups so common? shrug I've seen people do both on the main stack overflow site. I can do that from now on if that's how we roll here. |

Transitioning to a vegetarian lifestyle I'm just gonna mention that I think this is the sort of thing which would probably be best asked to a medical professional, or at least a registered dietician, rather than on an online forum. |
