    Crossfit and Bodybuilding

    All I did was youtube and just picked some things after minute 7:00 min (had to grab something to eat) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx-iLHmAsGUl 13:20; letty was brutal. Matt Chan behind Barto looks great. He clean as much as he can front squat. And he drops great on his jerk. Doesn't...

    Crossfit and Bodybuilding

    I apologize for using the full ROM when referring to power clean vs squat clean; it was the best way I could explain it. How would you explain it? I understand the point of catching at the lowest point; it's what I think is the most important part of the mechanic of the clean and jerk and...

    Crossfit and Bodybuilding

    I actually don't do cross-fit because I've made fun of my buddy so long for doing it. I believe he's a certified trainer....I guess he had to video tape himself? Not that I'm against the workout, but just the culture seems douchee (no offense). I see kipping and I can't relate. He said I'd...

    Osgood Schlatter's disease

    I have it. You don't really get around it. If you do a lot of cleans you'll grind it down a little.

    Alcohol and fat Metabolism

    I will look for a study (I haven't done that before); but I also understand that once the alcohol is burned; you go right back to fat burning. That because alcohol sugar doesn't act like a normal carb; ketosis cycle is paused; not reset. Is this true?

    How much have you gained whle bulking?

    I feel like a fat ass. I don't think I went below 15% BF after any cut diet. I'd say 2 years I've gone from 180 to 215 4 times. I was 190 with an rough (extremely rough) estimate of 20-25% body fat when I started. I'm at 205 and I'd say I'm leaner than 20-25% BF days. So, 15 to 20 lbs of...

    Do you have compassion for the obese?

    If you consider bulimia/anorexia a disorder, then you have to be sold on over eating as a disorder. Plenty of people have a eating disorder, plenty of people are just jolly and don't mind the cushion, some people are lazy, some have a medical condition that diet and work out an average amount...

    Latest on negotiations

    I get that Obamacare is bad. It wasn't snuck it, the country voted for a democratic majority in both house and senate with Universal Health Care as a top priority. This was big deal, they didn't sneak it in, they rammed it down our throats and the majority wanted it. What I'm saying is that...

    Latest on negotiations

    Shortz, I don't think your following me right. That comment is not a right or wrong. What is happening is legal/constitutional. You can fight any law to the death if your elected officials choose to, which is happening. I'm saying stop, the fight is lost. It passed appellate court, so you...

    I thought the swear words automatically turn to symbols. My bad.

    Latest on negotiations

    I'm against the affordable health care act, and voting record somewhat reflects that. I lost. I've dealt with it, and will vote again when the time comes that would put people in position not to let it happen again. What's there to discuss. It went through as a law. It is a law. We fund...

    It's tough being a liberal these days.

    Rant

    The only way to prove that it's fat is if you get thinner is as you lose fat, your abs go away. I had me some fabs. Pretty sure I have the pic on my profile. I have no idea what my BF was (25%?)

    potential explosion!

    That's hilarious. I just tried the Muscle Monster shake in my car today and I shaked it before opening. My car does not smell like scented fruit.

    Wife: Biker husband is victim in NYC altercation

    I saw the vid, and read the article, and ride a bike, and kinda liberal. If I had family in the car, and a group of people are damaging the car and put my family in danger, I'm taking out as many as possible. I thought I saw that the SUV called the police, maybe it was in the article or the...

    MMA Fighter dies cutting weight - 17lbs in 3 days

    Weight cutting is completely part of the game. You can drop a significant amount of water weight depending on your size without impacting performance too much. Cutting 17 lbs in 3 days is stupid unless you're heavy weight. Instead throwing the wet towel on the thermosat in the wrestling room...

    The SECRETS to MONSTER CALVES!

    I'd like to see some calf pics. I tore my calf when I had the worse cramp in my life (I've only had a calf cramp 1 time before). I was told to flex the calf in the direction, I believe I pronated (pushed down like going on your tippy toes). That hurt alot, but now I have a dimple in the calf...
