TMuscle is so deeply full of shit that I basically assume anything on there is wrong. HFCS is totally fine in moderation. If all your carbs come from HFCS, that's one thing. But as an ingredient in a PWO shake, or every once in a while in some ice cream or cake or whatever, it's not a big deal. The point is that metabolically, it's just sugar. There's nothing especially bad about it except for how pervasive it is.

More on fructose/HFCS, this bit related particularly to athletes and/or people who exercise a lot: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=gmail&attid=0.1&thid=129eb842f7251360&mt=application/pdf&url=https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui%3D2%26ik%3D408d536b32%26view%3Datt%26th%3D129eb842f7251360%26attid%3D0.1%26disp%3Dattd%26zw&sig=AHIEtbQ_Z0cNKp1V0DgqZ8IHNxmxp4Xo7g

Salient quote:

Quote
Fructose is a monosaccharide that is the principal sugar present in fruits and honey. Table sugar (sucrose) derived from sugar cane and sugar beets is another source of fructose, as this disaccharide is degraded by sucrase in the intestine to equal parts glucose and fructose. The other major source of dietary fructose is high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is generated enyzmatically by converting corn starch to a mixture of fructose and glucose, often in a 55:45 mixture. HFCS is a common sweetener because it is liquid and mixes well, does not crystallize with freezing, is relatively inexpensive, and has a long shelf life. Natural fructose also is present in some vegetables (such as the sweet pea and sweet potato), but most fructose ingested today comes from products containing sugar and HFCS. It should be noted that HFCS comes in two commercially used variants: HFCS-55, as described above, and HFCS-42, in which only 42% of the total carbohydrate is fructose. In other words, HFCS-55 delivers slightly more fructose than table sugar (sucrose is composed of 50% glucose and 50% fructose), whereas HFCS-42 delivers slightly less fructose. HFCS-55 is used more often as a sweetener because its higher fructose content confers greater perceived sweetness. Most importantly, from a metabolic perspective, the three sugar sources are indistinguishable.

So what again is wrong with HFCS?

Badass name. You should go, based on that alone.

Five-hundred-eighty pound clean and jerk. And it doesn't even look like he's trying that hard. Enjoy.

Jesus that's one bouncy girl (see Joe? I can use it right now!).

I hope someone's working with her on that squat form, though... yikes.

Basketball / Re: John Wall workout with Wizards

From ESPN Daily Dime:

Quote
You can usually find scattered seats in Cox Pavilion during the summer league -- but not for Washington's first three games. John Wall not only excited fans; he filled the VIP sections as well. "It's not just that he's the No. 1 pick," said one NBA head coach. "He's also what every coach and general manager wants with the way the game is being played." Wall led the summer league in points (23.5) and assists (7.8 ) per game, and added four rebounds and 2.5 steals to those averages.

The superlatives and comps were flowing freely: Derrick Rose with defense and charisma. Chris Paul with better size. Rajon Rondo with more upside on his jump shot. One of the privileges of the summer league is the opportunity to observe a top prospect in a meaningful context.

After months of discussion about wingspan, upside, motor and potential, we finally have the chance to watch the player in a game situation. Seeing Wall run the pick-and-roll with JaVale McGee was a revelation for skeptics and reassurance for the true believers.

Cue the heavenly choir...

HAAAALLELUJAH!
HAAAALLELUJAH!

HALLELUJAH!
HALLEEEELLUUUUJAAAAH!

A lacrosse ball works wonders for the plantar fascia (and glutes and shoulders and pretty much anywhere else that it's hard to use a foam roller). Smoother to roll around than a golf ball cause it doesn't have all those little divots.

Also, 135 lb squat = strong = ...what?

Ahem, ahem. Ladies and gentlemen (well, gentlemen), I would like to take this occasion to bring y'all's attention to the fact that I am now a Hero Member.

Raw beets taste nice, pretty sweet. Grated, with a balsamic vinaigrette with a bit of brown mustard in it. Delicious. Not sure how they'd be juiced.

Yesterday: Walked around a whole bunch.

Today: ankle rehab circuit* plus a bunch more walking around and PIGGING THE FUCK OUT on delicious food.  ;D

*For the record, the ankle rehab circuit goes like this (x2):
--calf raises x15x5s hold at top
--soleus stretch x15s/ea
--calf stretch x15s/ea

then toe/plantar flexor stretch x60s/ea

Thanks dude, it felt nice. Can turn everything up a notch on those except the BSS isos. Holy shit man, I was breathing so hard by the end of that shit. My legs were on fiiiiiiiire.
