Lifting Straps

is using wrist straps, chalk or back belts cheating?

I got a buddy of mine that tells me that using wrist straps for dumbell rows is cheating because your not really lifting the weight. I did 100 12 times with straps on then told him. He considers it cheating just like shooting up test before a workout (I know its not that bad but..). Without using the straps i can only do 100 5 times because my finger strength isnt at par with my upper back strength.

I know so many guys use these things when doing maximal lifts, and i understand the point to it. But just out of curiosity, what do you guys think?

straps are because it weakens your grip. chalk just dries your hands and back brace just protects your back while doing dead lifts and squats.

i do 115 12x without any of that stuff i am 18 170ish pounds.

If something weighs 150 lbs what is the weight if its on wheels?

lets say I were to lift something or person weighing 150 lbs, how much weight would I actually be pushing if they were in a wheelchair or on a moving dolly…any websites to help understand it better or help calulate?
two wheels (fairly large) waxed floor

Not much on a waxed floor. I’m GUESSING around 20 to 30 lbs.

Why is this in motorcycles?

mothers with 2 under 2?

HI i’m pregnant 26-278 weeks with my second baby. My daughter is almost 14 months now.
Have any of you’ll had any funny experiances with your two?
Since we foudn out the new baby is a boy we’ve been telling my daughter to go say hi and give her baby brother kisses and she’ll lift the hem of my shirt and wave and say hi and give kisses. I thought she had understood taht it was a baby, cause if you say just baby she’ll run to find her dolly and give it kisses instead. BUt i don’t think she does now cause i told her to go give daddy kisses yesterday and she ran over to him and lifted the hem of his shirt and started saying hi and kissing his belly too…lol
I thought it was hilarious. Any body else have some funny stories to share? I’m having a rotten morning and could use a new laugh.

My boys are 20 months apart. While I was pregnant, my oldest would lift my shirt and kiss my belly and say ‘baby’. Even after the baby arrived, he would still lift my shirt and say ‘baby’ but he would also go over to the baby and say ‘baby’. So I guess he figured we got a baby but there was still one in my belly. When the baby naps and starts stirring, I pat his bottom and say ‘shh’ to see if he’ll go back to sleep before I pick him up. My son does that for me if he gets to the baby before I do. And he’ll even try when the baby is still asleep. He lays on a blanket and reaches back to pat his bottom the way I pat the baby. And he climbs on my lap, puts his head on my shoulder, and reaches back to pat his back as if I’m burping him when he sees me burping the baby. He also pretends his teddy bear is a baby. He’ll wrap it in a blanket and carry it around. He’ll put it over his shoulder and burp it. He’ll pat it’s bottom and say ‘shh’. And he’ll put his bear to my breast for me to feed it (he just did that one a minute ago).
