FDA Raids Bodybuilding.com
More evidence of an FDA crackdown on steroid-based supplements. Thursday’s raid followed a two-year criminal investigation into the company and corporate officers, including founder Ryan DeLuca, by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, according to search warrants filed in U.S. District Court. The searches were conducted at Bodybuilding.com’s headquarters at 2026 S. Silverstone Way, Meridian, and its warehouse off Gowen...
Our New Prowler Arrives Tomorrow!
I got the call today from the freight company – the Prowler that I purchased for John’s birthday (10/8) will be here tomorrow. What’s a Prowler? LOL! It’s a “functional fitness” conditioning tool: a heavy sled that can be pushed along the ground. It’s going to be integrated into our “Play Heart” workout activities.

The Alpha Male Challenge – Week 1
John and I started the Alpha Male Challenge program this week. Although we’re both veteran gym rats, there are elements of this program that we haven’t done for a while, so it was a good change up.

Basically, the vid is about the kinds of questions people need to ask themselves when confronted by claims… so the mental steps Dr. Shermer discusses are quite applicable to the claims made in supp ads and other...

On the one hand, I can’t really object to entrepreneurs pushing healthier versions of not-so-healthy-but-extremely-popular food products… but on the other hand, it seems somewhat exploitative too. Marketing better quality junk/snack/convenience foods as “healthy” implies that consumers don’t...
Nutrition Bars Not So Healthy For Teeth
In my local supermarkets, nutrition/energy bars are big business… Fred Meyer, Safeway and Albertson’s all devote a decent amount of shelf space to them. At Freddy’s – where I shop most often – they’re in the “Health Food” section… after all, they’re so healthy! Right? Kinda sorta. Sure, there are all manner of bars with good-for-you ingredients like nuts, seeds, peanut...
