Yeah, he might be jacked: and yeah, he might have an encyclopedic knowledge of nutrition, be on the Q&A and have a log at EliteFTS.som...and yeah, he might help people get in sick shape super fast: and be really f-ing strong (just read the log).....but he's still a pussy. Here's the proof, (in regards to lat pulldowns), "I always wear straps. If that makes me a pussy, that is fine."- Lean Gain Principles pg. 33 ....proof positive Mr. Starnes you are a total puss...now turn in your man-card... Personal note: Shelby, please don't find me and pummel the shit out of me. K? Thanks. Shelby and Steve Colescott teamed up to write the Lean Gain … [Read more...]
Yoga, Jacks up knees…but it can cure cancer?? WTF!
January 6, 2011 by
Headline: Yoga bad for your knees, Indian doctor warns. -Dean Nelson. Guess what? Yoga can jack up people knees... "Dr Ashok Rajgopal says he has performed knee replacement surgery on a number of leading yoga gurus." Guess what? Over stretching a joint isn't a good thing and leads to orthopedic problems, "according to Dr Rajgopal, the extreme stretching exercises at the heart of the discipline cause severe stress on joints, leading to arthritis." Guess what? Yoga can cure HIV aids and cancer.. "Some of its most charismatic teachers, like India's Baba Ramdev, who has built a worldwide empire through television appearances, believe its breathing … [Read more...]
“I eat because I’m unhappy…I’m unhappy because I eat.”
January 3, 2011 by
Fat Bastard said it and....he was right. The people at Kaiser Permenante in San Diego have been running a weight loss clinic since 1982 which dealt mostly with the obese . After treating 30,000 patients they've made some pretty remarkable findings concerning obesity and published them in a paper titled, Obesity: Problem, Solution or Both. In short they found that obesity, "is not the core problem to be treated, any more than smoke is the core problem to be treated in house fires." Basically obese people are obese because they eat too much, yepper that whole law of thermodynamics is still holding steady..but what drives them to eat to much? NOTE: Yes, I know … [Read more...]
Creatine will make your arms EXPOLDE! (sarcasm, no they will not)
August 30, 2010 by
McMinnville High in Oregon became famous last week. 24 McMinnville football players were seen by a doctor last week with 13 being admitted to the hospital for at least one night all with symptoms of compartment syndrome. 21 of the 24 had elevated creatine kinase levels and 3 actually had the condition and needed surgery to alleviate the pressure. Read the whole story here and here. This case is very unusual and has made a lot of headlines last week. Mostly it's been used to demonize creatine supplementation (although none of the boys admitted to supplementing with creatine) and creatine hasn't been linked to an increased chance of developing compartment … [Read more...]
Not So Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaat Albert and the Stupid Football Test
August 3, 2010 by
Once again, for the sixth time, Albert Haynesworth has either failed to complete or opted not to take the Washington Redskins fitness test. The test is simple...... it's 6 back and forth 50 yard sprints (for a total of 300 yards) completed in 70 seconds followed by a three and a half-minute rest and then another set of six 50 yard sprints completed in 73 seconds. Apparently this test, must be completed before a player can practice at training camp although it was administered to no NO OTHER PLAYERS (that should be a big red flag that it might not have anything to do with being physically ready to play football). "Haynesworth is the only player required … [Read more...]
Jennifer’s Body..(get it? it’s a pun…)
July 29, 2010 by
5 Yoga Poses to Get Jennifer Aniston's Body .... 5 YOGA poses... FIVE YOGA poses... My response: NEGATIVE , WRONG, NOTHING....YOU KNOW NOTHING!!!! I can say with almost 100% confidence that there are no 5 yoga poses that will give you Jennifer Anistons body. How do I know this? Cause I'm not an idiot. How do they put this crap out there? Here's my honest assessment of this situation. Jennifer Aniston is hot to begin with (let us remember people in Hollywood are, at least in part, PAID to look good. It's part of their job. They usually, more or less, came that way). She probably works out ALOT, in addition to yoga...OMG she does, … [Read more...]
Dr. Verkhoshansky….
June 28, 2010 by
For a blog dedicated to training and more specifically sports training and sports science it would be a grave travesty if I didn't take the time to acknowledge the passing of Dr. Yuri Verkhoshansky this passed weekend. Perhaps no one has been more influential in the development of sport science EVER than Dr. Verkhoshansky. From his bio (emphasis added): "Professor Yuri Verkhoshansky is predominantly known to most westerner readers as the Russian researcher who invented plyometric training (Shock Method). Many coaches and sport scientists around the world, however, recognize Y.Verkhoshansky as a prominent figure in the field of explosive strength training, one of the … [Read more...]
