how ya been god smack? hows the military treating you?

All in all not too bad. The pay is shit for the work I do, but I dont pay for a house when home, or insurance. Well out of my salary that is.

J,

Does the recent news affect your return?

As of right now that is neither here nor there. I should know by Christmas (I hope)

BTW how far are you from Bradford PA?

J

Bradford I am thinking is like 2 hours away. I live 20 miles NE of Penn State main.

Next time I go home I may have to come say howdy.

Man, that's a lot of protein.

You are what you eat in this case. Want full muscles with lots of rich nutrients... gotta feed them the amino's they want.

I will say 50 grams in 1 shake is quite a bit, but if you're getting enough water it should be ok. You may just not absorb all of the protein. Over saturation is not ideal but it's better than having too little.

Just make sure the kidneys are good.

I drink about 6-9 liters of water per day. No soda and LIMITED gatorade.

I figure 50 grams in a shake is about as bad as 40 grams in a bar.

J

In truth I think the possible kidney damage from excessive protein is exaggerated in general. I will say though that not enough water is an absolute cause for issues.

Possibly exaggerated, but again, everything in moderation. On weight days I drink two 16 oz. shakes (~54g each) on weight days and I don't even touch it on off days.

I will be honest with you. It would be better to cut them in half and just have 27 grams for 2 days. The entire day after you lift, you're body will desire rebuilding nutrients. In the long run you will probably digest more and if your worried about health I can promise you will have less uric acid concintraition, so overall better health and probably better results.

My aunt who is a retired body builder would disagree with you. She's suffered long term damage from protein poisoning.

Well nop disrespect to your aunt but if she competed she probably took other things that would have a more harsh effect on her over time. Ibuprofen, high blood pressue(the biggest cause of kidney issues arguably), insulin issues from carb loading. Depending on the decade there were lots of trends in the BB world. From steroids to putting raw eggs in beer everything had a fad for a while.

I'm not trying to be an A** hole but protein poisoning is a specific condition that happens when you eat nothing but protein..... Specefically protein poisoning much more a problem of lack of other foods and not an overabundance of one. If she literally had "protein poisoning" it's not just from having too much protein, there are other factors involved. #1 is a lack of healthy fats. Healthy fats, and fats in general, are really missunderstood by the average person. An example is lard, lard on average will have a better fat make up than butter. It also has a higher smoking point and that makes it much safer for frying with.

I'm not saying a billion grams of protein every day for years on end is a good thing.... I am saying that humans have lived on a 90% meat product diet for eons. Some cultures still do and they aren't all going down from bad kidneys. Maybe a lion gets them first, who knows... what I do know is that repeatedly cutting weight on extreme fasting, over sweating (sauna or rubber suits whatever), and not putting enough water back into the body and HBP will wreck kidneys permanently in 1/1000th the time compaired to lots of protein.

Shit is going good around here .

Officially have my RA position, got new rubber on the truck. Was a little disappointing because I really wanted new wheels but I had to get new tires and overall I'm very impressed. I also got a free car wash with it and my wheels came out looking really good, which helped the situation.

*Hears Adrian yelling "MALL CRAWLERS!!!" from across the pond*

Went out to 6th street in Austin for the first time. There were 12 females and 2 males in our group. The bouncers begged us to come in to every bar. The job I worked for the past few weeks paid for everything (dinner, drinks, and more drinks). I drank so damn much but don't have a hangover.

So all in all good stuff. Oh, and I just moved in with a sexy female that can cook...

Edit: The tires are Hancook Dynapro ATMs. I read some articles on them and they perform like the BFG ATs and the tires shop sells the shit out of them because they last forever and ride quiet (they do ride quiet, which is so nice)

[dem beats 1,223]

MK I love those rims. I wouldn't change them for anything unless it would be to black... But on your truck I think silver would look better.

Nice rubber too.

[dem beats 1,223]

I would say my tires are "mall crawlers" also. They just had an extreme snow/ice rating and looked good to boot with some good dirt lugs.

They look like they would preform like the BF's. They have lots of siping and leading edges SO I am sure they are SUPER grippy on the pavement.

BTW they look KILLER!!

Edit: are those Mickey thompsom wheels?

quinoa

I'm gonna try it as an alternative to rice. I'll keep you kids posted. I have a hunch it might make a decent risoto alternative.

The work lunch bar had it and thought, to try it. I never want to eat their food unless it's breakfast and there is one specific man working the flat to for an omlette. They make crap. So this was a bad representation of it I'm sure...... But it wasn't disgusting and I might be able to trick the W into eating it instead of rice or some other empty carb-o-rific food.

Anywhoosle, anyone know of a recipie that would make quinoa that isn't soupy and would have the texture of steamed rice? Aparently it's possible.

[dem beats 1,223]

Aparently Alton brown tweeted the link below.... Thanks google for making it so I don't have to make a twittiface page.

Anon-Man strikes again!

Tires look good. I might have to check them out.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Truck looks good!

Screw the black wheel idea. I don't know why people like that.

[MKader17 332]

I always enjoyed the black wheels. I also wanted to go to painted mirrors and I have a black tool box. I do have to say I'm really enjoying the wheels when they are clean. It has re-inspired me to pull them off and seriously go at them again.

I also wanted to go +1 with the rim size so I could fit a larger brake setup in the front.

[MKader17 332]

Just throwing this out here. I'm looking to improve my braking. I checked the pads and they are fine (plenty of pad left). When my wheel bearing went out recently it tripped my ABS light. My friend said it might be from the excessive heat in the area because the wheel bearing was so bad (video below).

Should I completely replace my fluid? Does anyone know a good place to get stainless braided lines (particularly those for a lift). I also would like to do a hydroboost but not sure if I have the cash for it.

[MKader17 332]

Finally found stainless lines for a lifted vehicle. I'm going to try to order those soon.

[Acidburn 10]

you could upgrade to a more aggressive pad as well for a fairly cheap upgrade
