    Diet/Exercise that works for a college student?

    Sure and happy to post a few web sights that might be of help. A couple MD web sights that I have learned diet and supplement information from are: Dr Davis, a cardiologist http://heartscanblog.blogspot.com/ & Dr Eades main web sight (Dr Eades, along with his wife, used to run a weight loss...

    Diet/Exercise that works for a college student?

    You might try adding more protein to your diet. Dr Eades posted the latest study about that: More protein = greater weight loss. http://twitter.com/DrEades Probably because protein results in greater satiety than fat or carbs, IIRC.

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    Out of curiosity, what are you guys paying for gym memberships? Apparently I'm the big loser. I pay like $145 a month. It's really like half country club, half gym though. I'm getting horrible side effects from stimulants. The workout on them is great, i lift more and stay focused and my veins...

    Agreed, low bar squats ROCK! Bit of a bummer though, talked today w/ the campus gym manager... he was saying something like banning chalk use - totally not cool. I do know the guy pretty well, so maybe I wouldn't catch hell for using some. Otherwise I just have to sneak it in Try an Ecoball.

    Just dump the bar... doesn't look too difficult now, does it? That is one impressive performance right there. Is he is probably an olympic lifter? Those guys do a lot of bailing on lifts, so get more used to it than your typical powerlifter type. e: Oh, that's Koklyaev. He owns.

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    I don't completely agree with the article linked above. At least with my case of tight hips, the hamstrings were not getting adequate involvement, and hip flexors were taking more than their fair share of the load. A further problem is that it's very tough to keep lumbar extention at the bottom...

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    Life has been hectic, I haven't been to the gym in about 2 months. Anyways, I took some time off to rest my hip flexors. They were really hurting from high bar back squats. They're normally tight so I always stretch beforehand but it seems any significant weight on the bar will cause some pain...

    McDougall diet/lifestyle

    They sound like vegetarian nutjobs. "Fat and cholesterol: Primary poisons" Eek. Also, his diet would be terrible for anyone remotely active. It's almost entirely carbohydrate based. I would also guess that the diet is in fact so low-fat as to impair nutrient absorption and impact neurological...

    pyramided up to a 5x340lb deadlift today, then 2x364lbs. Gonna go for 5x350 next week. if only my bench and squat were progressing so quickly. My squat has become laughable. In four months: bench - 5x175 -> 3x5x225 deadlift - 1RM from 325-415, 5RM from ~275->375 squat - 5RM from 225->245 heh

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    - FWIW, I only rest about 30-45 seconds between sets. I'm probably using close to the same weight for a lot of exercises I was using a year or two ago when I'd rest for 60-120 seconds. It's a ***** with stuff like lunges, but with most other lifts, I only find myself really struggling to finish...

    Endurox--any experiences?

    Based on the ingredient list, it basically just looks like gatorade+whey. Am I missing anything?
