You are convinced? Are ya? Really? Because your massive research over a 3 week period into the diet that you are currently following, pushed by people who have their own version of the diet, and therefore their agenda completely revolves around the diet, has flat out convinced you?
3 weeks...
Agree on the cardio. Frankie also caught a ton of Bendo's kicks but a lot were body kicks and he didn't really do shit when he did catch them. He needs to catch them and blast for a takedown, but Aldo's TD is good so that may not even work.
As long as its eased into, lifting weights is not dangerous. What a stupid thing to say. The most dangerous thing about a beginner lifting weights is that you might drop a plate on your toe.
If someone is obese, lifting is often easier than calisthenics. Push-ups and sit-ups don't usually...
Okay.
1) Springbok is the average gym rat or less. No one here is a pro athlete or pro bodybuilder if we are talking about muscle gaining potential, so why are we using them as an example?
2) From your post:"And while that may not sound like much, realize that a 0.5 lb per week muscle...
Yeah imagine life if we could all just gain 60lbs of muscle in 3 years. No big deal.
That's some bro science shit if I ever saw it. Christian Thibaudeau, spoken like a true juice head, on the website testosterone nation.
Paleo thoughts I think. Somewhere along the lines of, and I'm paraphrasing, "Would a caveman really have time to eat 6 meals a day? Of course not, they have to eat as much as they can when they can."
Paleo aside though, the eating every 2-3 hours thing is overblown imo. There has been a...
You took 4 hours to write the original post and shill a diet you have 3 weeks experience with? Jesus christ you are one gullible mother fucker. I figured you've been buying into this for a year or more at least.
I can't believe you aren't selling something.
The size of a muscle and how it correlates to strength is not really as good of an indicator as how muscle growth correlates to strength. Generally, you get bigger, you are getting stronger, but person A vs person B where A has 18 inch arms and B has 16 inch arms, means nothing as a strength...
Dude, let it die already, just shut up. I am sure you walk around year round at 8% bodyfat, run a 4.4 40 yard dash and bench 400lbs, and your blood work is perfect, and I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. If Paleo works for you, I couldn't be happier, but stop peddling the shit like you are a Jehovah's...
SSD use is OS + frequently used programs. Why would you put everything else on the mechanical drive? My SSD has Windows, itunes, games I play often and other shitand it's only an old 80gb X-25M. With some of the prices today on 256gb drives at like 180 bucks you could put almost everything on...
No, it's degenerative. I started having issues in high school, got bad around 21, gave up lifting around 26 or so, just turned 29. Therapy countless times, 4 epidurals, yada yada. It's been great for years actually, and strangely enough not this past week, but if I knew then what i know now...
I haven't lifted in about 2 years, after lifting religiously for about 11. I have back problems, I cant deadlift anymore, I cant squat anymore, and it got to the point where I look at lifting like, "So what?" What's the point? What does being able to lift heavy weights really do for me in...
Anderson should probably be #1 on every list, and Wanderlei shouldn't be anywhere near a top 10. He's never been good technically, he's just aggressive, or was.
im about to sleep but lets just see, shogun, machida, anderson silva, thiago alves, barboza, aldo, overeem, dos santos, vitor, pettis. i got bored, theres a lot more and thats just current.
Agreed on the boxing. Jozu's top 10 standup claim is ridiculous, but that's Jozu for you. There's 10-20 fighters with better standup in the UFC right now, that doesn't even count all time.
Linking a Paleo article is kind of counterproductive because there's 547 diff versions of Paleo so that's not even "the answer" to someone's question. There's potentially 547 diff answers.
Note: numbers of Paleo diets have been over exaggerated.
If someone makes a decision to eat healthy...
It's hilarious to me that it's 2013 and we are trying to mimic(or so they tell you) the diet of a fucking caveman AHHAHAHAHAHAHAJAHAHA. Just get off the couch or computer chair.
But the way Paleo people sell the gluten sensitivity shit they'd like you to believe that if you cut out gluten you are going to look feel and perform like Patrick Willis.
I love how people come from eating boxes of Cheezits and drinking Mountain Dew and eating pizza and they try Paleo or anything really and its like "OH MY GOD IT'S MAGICAL!!!" I haven't been sick in a month! I lost weight! I have more energy!
Well to begin, the impacts of adding muscle on increasing your BMR are extremely small. The concept is way overblown and were talking less than 50 calories or so if someone added 10-20lbs over the course of a year. It's so small it isn't worth even considering.
Secondly, who cares if its in...
