The “Test” Test: Day 25
He’s baaaack! From his biz trip, that is. Overall, it didn’t go too badly: although he was frantically busy, John still made time for some in-room workouts. His eating was ok too: not perfect, but generally satisfactory. He was down to 3 meals, in deference to his work schedule, and made good food choices, with a little splurging at dinner (like having a couple of beers). He was hovering at 210 lbs. when he left, and...
The “Test” Test: Day 20
John has to travel this week: he left on Sunday, and won’t be back until Friday night. This means some disruption to his workout and diet. At least TSA didn’t confiscate his IsaTest…he brought it along with him, and has been sending daily bulletins. I’ll let him speak for himself…as he laid out his goals for the trip yesterday: “Big week this week. I’m traveling to out in the sticks, South...
Supplement Ad Claim of the Month: “All Natural”
“All natural” – the phrase casts a soft-focus, warm, rosy glow over everything it’s applied to, doesn’t it? After all, this is “Mother Nature” we’re talking about here! If you can’t trust your mother, who can you trust? This equation of “natural” with “wholesome” contrasts rather sharply with some of the things I learned in graduate school. I vividly...
The “Test” Test: Day 12
John weighed in this morning at 210 pounds – which has been a sort of “glass ceiling” for him over the last year or so. I suspect this is a little on the low side, as he did a pretty strenuous cardio session yesterday afternoon, but he was happy to see it, nonetheless. Some real progress has been made, though. We did a body comp test this morning, and it looks like his body fat percentage is down 0.5%. His chest,...
The “Test” Test: Day 10
So far, we’re rolling right along. John’s been taking the IsaTest as directed each day, and doing a pretty good job keeping tabs on his diet…He’s been consuming approx. 2300 calories/day and averaging 1 g of protein per pound of body weight. His weight is still 212 lbs. (this represents a 2 lbs. loss from Day 0). The workout cycle is repeating, so we’ll be able to assess any progress on the strength...
“Beauty and the Bleccccch!”
A few weeks back, one of the members of the “Bodybuilding Revealed” forum directed me to this 4-alarm advertisement from “Dr. Suzanne” Gudakunst. In his query, he gave a quick rundown of “facts” he learned from her site: how icky parasites and disgusting intestinal plaque are responsible for making us sick and fat – and how the powers-that-be are not only profiting from this situation, but are deliberately adding parasites to our food...
