Different Does Not Equal Better
I had a brief Skype chat session this morning with one of my industry buds: Will Brink…we were talking about the latest research on creatine ethyl ester (not good), and then moved on to all the different forms of creatine there are on the market now. Just for fun, I combed through some supplement formulas and put together a little list…here it is: creatine monohydrate creatine pyruvate creatine taurinate creatine ethyl...
Recipe Inflation?
Discussions about the obesity epidemic inevitably focus on commercial products, either processed foods from the grocery store, or fast food/restaurant offerings. Since the frequency of home-cooked, “slow food” meals is at an all-time low, “homemade” food has more-or-less gotten a pass. But home-cooked meals have evidently gotten bigger/richer over time, too… Restaurants get a bad rap for serving...
Bench Day – Update V
Yesterday’s session was a small improvement over last week, overall. While I still didn’t hit all the reps in each set, I didn’t suffer from “TMC” (total moral collapse) in my final sets, either. I managed: 5/5, 5/5, 4/5, 4/5, 4/5 (@ 135 lbs.) We’ll see what next week brings. I figure I’ll continue working on this until we leave for the Arnold Classic (March 5), then it will be time for a...

India’s Hindu nationalist movement apparently has the answer: a new soft drink made from cow urine. The...
Exercise Reduces Risk of Colon Cancer
Forget the expensive, get-up-and-go cleansing products…exercise is the real deal, when it comes to mitigating colon cancer risk. An ambitious new study has added considerable weight to the claim that exercise can lower the risk for colon cancer. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Harvard University combined and analyzed several decades worth of data from past studies on how exercise affects...
Time For Another Rant (Multivitamin Edition)…
I’m sure you’ve seen the news about the latest study on multivitamins, and how they don’t prevent cancer or CVD in older women. I’m ok with that… And no, I don’t intend to stop taking my multi, since preventing cancer and/or CVD isn’t the reason I’m taking one in the first place. Essential nutrients are one among a larger range of lifestyle factors that weigh in on an individual’s...
