    just keeping a log

    Just for the sake of discussion, why do you choose doorknob squats over regular squats and why only 3 sets of 4. On bench press do you only lift 50lbs the entire time? Just want to say I really like a lot of your workout and will be adding a lot of that into mine in order to get some better range of motion. Where did you get your rings? I want to find some I can connect to my door pull up bar.

    im guilty...... see what i did there! I saw what your doing than I realized I didn't. Rather then going back to look at you're post I made my own first.

    I live in a city of 90K and I still have problems finding stuff like that.

    Less heat, more time = better texture I will be next time. This time though I ended around 7:30 and I didn't want to wait any longer to eat.

    I'm ticked at myself for not realizing the great deal I could have picked up at HEB on the bone in Select ribeyes. They had them marked at less than half price (but wasn't indicated as a sale) I almost didn't buy them because I thought there was a catch.

    I cooked my first batch of pork ribs ever tonight. I followed an oven recipe using my own rub of Brown sugar, cayanne, paprika, salt pepper and cooked it in the oven for 2 hours at ~295*. I pulled it out and added some sweet baby rays bbq and put it under the broiler for a few minutes. Turned out pretty fantastic for a first try. I can't want to do it another time and add in some actual smoke!

    Wouldn't trade it for the Icon I now have hidden under the seat that gets plenty loud and isn't an "on or off" kind of sub.

    I miss my L7 tuned for 35hz in an unfinished 3.25 cuft box taking up two spots in the back seat of my old Chevy.I could have mad a killing if I would have thrown carpet on it and sold the setup to some local kid considering I got the L7 for free and fixed it and the Boss amp.

    I know this wasn't directed at me but I'll add my 2 cents. I have experimented with intermittent fasting with good results. My goal, like many others my size, is to lose fat and be of what I would call healthy strength. The initial reasoning for fasting is that I assume I am getting all the extra benefits that Stefan has mentioned, but in a addition for me it make diet adherence easier. If I wake up in the morning and know I'm not going to eat I go on with my day. I drink plenty of water because it is the only thing I can have. When I get to lunch I'm know I'm ready to eat, but it is actually much easier for me to pass by all the fast food joints and hit up the super market to think of something fresh, delicious and with plenty of protein (if I haven't planned already). Because I didn't waste a single minute with breakfast in the morning or snacks I have more time I can devote to lunch. I get to eat to my hearts content on healthy food and feel great (Did I mention that sometimes I have a brunch at this time? BEST meal ever). Afterward I spend the rest of my day not really worrying and I "graze" on a few healthy snacks. At dinner I eat with my girlfriend and repeat the process. When I was attempting an all day eating schedule I felt more need to plan out all the meals. I also felt like all I would do is snack all the time and never feel full no matter how delicious and healthy the "meal" was. Also, when I'm used to eating every three hours I get ravenous hunger pains. On my fasting diet I feel content after my one big meal. I don't get that on an all day schedule. Also, I am not eating extreme amounts of calories. Eating only 8 hours a day makes it easier to stay under my calorie limit, especially if I focus on healthy foods. For me I focus less on the food with the intermittent approach. That alone helps me tremendously.

    i think he'll be more open to some education after paying for the recone. to give you an idea of what im working with here. he bought a 2000 dollar moped the summer. brand new with a whopping 50cc! oh and 400 dollar insurance for the year... holy shit. With that I could buy a street legal dirt bike and pay for insurance and gas for a years worth of campus traveling

    That's what I was thinking at first but by that logic that would also assume that we need to consume 500g (2000 Cal) of carbs every 12-24 hours to stop muscle breakdown This seems more likely to me and the 12-24 is either a scare tactic or assumes a 0g fat (which would mean pure protein diet). I highly doubt they meant the latter.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I'd be interested in the books. I don't plan on an extremely low carb diet but I'd like to know why the book said you tear down muscle ( but made no mention of fat) after 12-24 but said you have ~500g of glycogen that lasts up to 3 days

    I never had trouble getting accustomed to accents after a week or so.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    So my friend gave me a book called "The New Glucose Revolution". I told him I would read it if he read "Eat Stop Eat" (Thanks Stefan). So, on pg 18 it says in a low carb diet "you use up your total reserves of 500 grams of glycogen within the first few days". On the next page it states, "Once the body has used up glycogen stores (within 12 to 24 hours of beginning a fast), it will break muscle protein to synthesize glucose..." It seems to me that those are contradictory statements, unless reserves and stores are different. Thoughts? This book has "references" but too bad it doesn't cite the sources in the text.
