Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: What should be my strategy?
« on: November 10, 2010, 02:28:47 pm »I don't know if you're aware of it, but another myth "from the elders" about eggs is that the "evil, intoxicating thing" in the egg yolk is a half-inch "whiteish" color "thing" somewhere in the yolk... if you boil an egg and then crack it, you can see that in the middle of the yolk more often than not.
Whitish foods should be avoided at all costs as they cause muscle protein breakdown as soon as they enter the bloodstream. Studies have also shown a tentative correlation between whitish foods and throat cancer.

he's the first to show up & the last to leave, that LBSS is a hard worker.
My boss certainly thinks so.
This will all be worth it if A) I get a decent raise at the end of the year and B) I get an ass-kicking recommendation from my boss for whatever job and/or grad school I apply to next.
What do you want to study at grad school?
You should see the hours my brother works, it is ridiculous.
Don't know. Just know that I'll end up there at some point and that it won't be for a useless degree like an MA. What does your brother do?

This week i had the exact opposite thing happen , i started 11lbs heavier than i wanted to. And i was "WTF , why am i so weak?". Turns out i benched 3x8 with a weight i was only able to do 6 reps for 1 set last time.
Haha, that's awesome! Guess you're not as weak as you thought.

That dude has really flexible hips. I don't think I could get my butt that far off the bench. Not that I'd try, though.

Hm, maybe it's a chicken/egg thing. I reach more naturally with my left hand, even though I'm right handed, because my left shoulder is higher than my right because (presumably) of years of throwing.

OK vag, you win. 
Should have been 3x5x125. I warmed up and ended up with 25# on each side of the bar. "Aha!" I thought to myself. "Now it's time for the work sets."
They felt super light and I thought to myself, "Holy crap, I'm stronger than I thought! Alright!" Not until I was replacing the plates did I realize my mistake.
OHP 3x5x95

Also, some hilarious news came the other day. My club ultimate team, which fizzled out absolutely at the end of last season and which everyone thought had died a quiet death, may be coming back. The reason: We're named Orange Joose, after the caffeinated malt beverage. Equivalent of eight cups of coffee and three beers in every .5L can. The makers of Joose were doing some trademark research and when you Google "orange joose," 5 of the first 6 links are to our team.
Instead of suing us, they've offered to sponsor us: buy us jerseys, discs, probably a big banner to hold up at tournaments and, assumedly, lots of Joose.
God, I hope this happens. If it does,

Greedy, greedy, greedy.
Because this has been nagging at me for a while, here is a list of material things I want:
1) Risto or Do-Win lifting shoes
2) Bloodlands, by Timothy Snyder
3) 1491, by Charles Mann
4) A meal at Komi, Minibar, Citronelle, CityZen, etc. (That is, a fucking awesome fancy-ass meal.)

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: What should be my strategy?
« on: November 09, 2010, 09:33:21 am »Well yeah... too many eggs aren't toxic or something?
In terms of cardio - that will burn calories... and I can barely take too many to aid in muscle growth already. That's my issue. And I've started to eat really clean these last few days and plan on continuing with that. Hopefully some recomposition will occur.
Two things:
1) Eggs will instantly put your body in a catabolic state. I'm talking as soon as you put them in your mouth, kiss your muscles goodbye. In other words, for fuck's sake, no, too many eggs are not toxic.
2) Light cardio will not burn very many calories, and can help recovery. Don't think intervals, think nice long walks, easy biking, easy rowing, elliptical, etc.

@adarq: This is gonna sound like whining, but there was literally no space to do ME jumps until like 8:15, IOW until I was over an hour into the workout and had done my squats and everything. ME would have been, ahem, weak. I can usually get there either early or late, but yesterday the timing just sucked.
So, you might call that stupid, but it wasn't the stupid thing I was talking about.

Thanks man. Yeah, for now I think it's just too far away. My gym is getting crowded as hell most weeknights, which is annoying. But the location just can't be beat.
