  1. Brazilian Fighters

    I really thought twice about posting my thoughts on this because I didn't want to sound like a bigot, douche or a jerk. I watch MMA frequently and I can't help but see this incredible similarity. I was just wondering if anyone else noticed. In a related story, anyone see the controversy...

  2. Brazilian Fighters

    You are correct, I do not see this trend in those fighters you mentioned. However there are many that look like Belfort . A lot of them are in Bellator, World Series of fighting, and I see it in the middle weights and lighter weight classes.

  3. Brazilian Fighters

    Has anyone noticed that nearly all Brazilian fighters appear to have the same build - low body body fat and exceptional musculature? Every Brazilian fighter I see looks virtually the same. Of course steroid use in MMA is nothing new but I do not believe all fighters use. But look at U.S...

  4. Legs

    It appears you are doing a lot of exercises so you work all the muscles. That seems logical but I believe you might be "just getting through " each excercise and not getting full benefit. Try simplifying - one quad, one hamstring and one calf excercise but increase the work each muscle does by...

  5. MIA

    I hear you. Between a vacation, yard work, job and and some serious family issues I am trying to get back to the gym this week. Missed most of May. Oddly, ate Total Crap and did not gain weight. But yikes, yesterday's squats were pretty sad. Oh, well glad to see other folks are human and need to...

  6. Any turkey hunters on here?

    Gain addict: how did you do this season? I am a turkey hunter although getting out the last few years has been difficult. Also curious what state you hunt. It's nice to see there are people addicted to outdoor pursuits on AM.

  7. The Official Smoothie Recipe Thread

    JX - sounds delicious. What do you think the protien/ carb numbers are in something like this? This sounds like a great substitute for that after dinner sweet attack I get.

  8. Spring fever

    Unfortunately my diet suffers as well. Thanks for the reply - I need a kick in the butt to budget time better so I can do both.

  9. Spring fever

    I'm having a hard time getting to the gym as much as I did in the winter because I'm a fisherman and Spring in Wisconsin is prime fishing time. Anyone else getting side tracked thanks to the spring weather? Fishing?

  10. The Official Smoothie Recipe Thread

    Anyone have a low-carb protein smoothie recipe? I currently make something similar to many of the recipes above. I suppose I could just add protein powder (which I am out of currently) but thought I would ask AM folks. I use ***e Greek yogurt plain as my base. It has 23g protein and 9g carbs...

  11. Weight loss advice

    Go to a site called Mark's Daily Apple. Click the red words that say START HERE. Spend 5 minutes reading the entire page. I would suggest doing his 21 day challenge.

  12. Any juicers here?

    My go-to vegetable drink is baby spinach, some celery, carrots, maybe broccoli and cauliflower if we have it. I mix this with vegetable drink like v-8. I don't drink it every day, but it's a nice alternative to salad or when you need something quick. I think it's easier to digest as well.

  13. Any juicers here?

    We have a magic bullet and 2 blenders. The bullet was pretty cheap and I did not think it would hold up but it's still working fine with years of almost daily use. It is a little under powered, but works fine for smoothies/vegetable drinks serving 1 or 2 people. The blender I use is an Oster...

  14. Favorite Song While Lifting

    Damn, 25 years of listening to that album and I still can't get the title right!

  15. Favorite Song While Lifting

    If I had only one album to listen while working out it would be Metallica's Injustice For All. . I do not consider myself a big Metallica fan, but that album still gets me going since the late 80's - and One is just awesome. Nice pick.

  16. Manipulating my insulin and stimulating HGH

    If you can find an extended period of time to IF try to go 12-16 hours. In addition, a lot of people workout fasted and then eat after the workout which ends the fast. I'm not sure how you work that into your schedule. I would check out the site Leangains for more info. I find fasting or at...

  17. Manipulating my insulin and stimulating HGH

    You got a lot going on here. I think your confusing your goals. Sounds like you want to reduce body fat, correct? I wouldn't worry about hgh/insulin sensitivity at this point. How are you eating? You mention limiting carbs. Do you track your carbs? If your going to radically change diet and...

  18. forearm aches and pains help?

    Outside of elbow = tennis elbow. Inside = golf elbow. I suffered with both in both elbows. A few years ago I couldn't grab an olympic bar with an over hand grip take it off the squat rack, or a number of other things that stressed my elbows. Go to doc if it is bad. You can get a cortisone shot...

  19. Article: 5 Things Exercise Nazis Get Wrong

    Jeremy, I started doing these "Gironda dips" a few weeks ago. They seem to accent lower chest. I try to keep my elbows flared out as well. There was a video (youtube? BB.com?) that advised chin down, legs forward, elbows out. Today I am going to do them as my first chest excercise instead of...

  20. Article: 5 Things Exercise Nazis Get Wrong

    I like his perspective/logic on these exercises, but he really makes himself sound like a an amateur writer using terms like Nazi. In addition, he uses the amateur tactic "the nazi's say blah, blah.." This is called a straw man argument. You create an opposing side despite having no quotes or...
