    Article: Quality Of Calories Matters More Than Number

    Cut the sugar and destroy your thyroid.... No better way to make your body cling to every scrap of fat (and maybe store some extra just in case) than depriving your brain of its primary fuel source... Get rid of the polyunsaturates in your diet, eat protein sources that don't inflame the gut...

    Article: When A Bodybuilder Tries Crossfit....

    Every crossfit "coach" I have come across is in it for the money. Your argument is specious and your reasoning is repetitive, and pretty much wrong. If crossfit "coaches" are so great as you would like to think they are, why would so many of them let their clients do anything with **** form...

    Article: When A Bodybuilder Tries Crossfit....

    "high skill Olympic lifts" in 99.9% of crossfit boxes are performed without the requisite skill. Maybe crossfit should come up with another trademarked name for 'em, cause the way I've seen them done in 3 different crossturd boxes damn sure is the polar opposite of what any actual self...

    Article: Rope Climbing For Big Arms

    Invalid Link Removed Bought 50 feet of this after attending John Brookfield's Battling Ropes cert, I tie it off to one of the gymnastic rings out in the garage for climbing pull ups etc. Thick ropes are a much more versatile tool than people realize.

    Is it over for me? Should I give up? My profile Picture!

    I'm tellin you bro, get a massage. Think about getting an adjustment as well. Maybe stick to yoga for a solid month or 2 to balance out any compensations you have developed from all the time on the driving range. And you should really check out "Original Strength" by Geoff Neupert and Tim...

    For the audio meditation stuff, I have been digging the Silva Method. You'll likely have to subscribe to their newsletter, but they have some free audio downloads on their site. It can be a journey to find the approach that clicks for you, but IMHO the Silva system is a good one. Check it out!

    Is it over for me? Should I give up? My profile Picture!

    And oh yeah take a break from training for a couple weeks. Get a massage-seriously! My wife is an uber-skilled LMT and I can't speak highly enough for the benefits of regular massage from a qualified therapist. Massage should never, ever, under any circumstances cause pain. If it does, tell the...

    Is it over for me? Should I give up? My profile Picture!

    Dude... You have to quit all the self medicating and looking to supplements to fix your problems. In my experience having a f-ed up childhood and dragging a bunch of stress and crap around most of my life caused the majority of my problems. In other words, most of it is in your head. Get your...

    Is it over for me? Should I give up? My profile Picture!

    Bro... Get your head right first! You have to believe in yourself to break plateaus. I don't care if it sounds corny, it is true. Psycho Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz is a fantastic place to start, and it can be had for about 5 bucks on Amazon. There are also many great guided meditation...

    F'd up wrists

    Antagonistic balance homie... If you aren't actively training hand wrist and forearm strength in some way, your wrists and elbows will get all dicked up at some point. "Mastery Of Hand Strength" by John Brookfield is an outstanding place to start, as is "The Grip Master's Manual" by the same...

    Egg Protein Powder

    Whole food protein ftw bro... Powders are supplemental and for convenience. Solid, smart training focusing on progression and technique technique technique technique and technique in basic compound lifts as well as quality sleep and food will pay dividends beyond your wildest dreams. Skip the...

    23yo girl wants a 6pack - help!

    Yep, I definitely admire the amount of dedication it takes to get to that level of leanness. Judging by your avatar you have a pretty rad midsection by anyone's standards :-)

    23yo girl wants a 6pack - help!

    Ugh... She looks like a man... It is so decidedly not feminine to be that lean, both from an aesthetic and health viewpoint. The media is blurring the lines of what constitutes femininity and masculinity. Women trying to look like teenage male football players, men wearing skinny jeans and...

    23yo girl wants a 6pack - help!

    Squat. Heavy! Learn how from a powerlifter. Women are hardwired for endurance so endless cardio simply downregulates your metabolism as an adaptation response. Women also have a tendency to stay away from good ol' fashioned compound lifting on an unfounded fear of getting bulky, which is absurd...

    thoughts on paleo?

    When my wife and I did BFFM for 11 months I used the Harris Benedict formulas and subtracted 500 to lose weight etc etc... Recently I did a gas exchange RMR test that indicated slightly less than 2300 cals(I might still have the printout somewhere) IIRC, I just remember the 2550 calories a day...

    thoughts on paleo?

    At the end of the day I'm fairly sure that no one in their right mind would argue against eating whole unprocessed organic foods (what people 100 years ago simply called "food") most of the time. Having a nearly pathological aversion to junk food is counterproductive IMHO... Given the results I...
