    He's a bit long winded but interesting and worth the watchhttp://vimeo.com/30763907 The placement is not similar to the high bar and should not be on your spine at all, squeeze your shoulders together like you're trying to hold a pencil in between your shoulder blades. Look at how the guy...

    And again the French eat more butter and saturated fat but have less incidence of heart disease than the US. Another:http://www.bmj.com/press-releases/20...sease-guidance "Linked".... meaning you can find a study linking almost anything to anything. So just because this happens to fit what...

    Low bar vrs high bar: http://70sbig.com/blog/2012/01/low-b...bar-squatting/ Low bar is more hip drive, more posterior chain. You're also more horizontal and the angles are different. The bar sits right on the meat of the delts. High bar recruits quads more and you're more upright...

    Hypothesis: 1984 was the best year of film releases ever

    1982 > 1999 > 1984 > 1994 1993 is tempting because of Tombstone, but it's not in my top 4.

    Hypothesis: 1984 was the best year of film releases ever

    That 1982 list is impressive. I need to see them all side by side now. Quick impression is: 1982 > 1999 > 1994 = 1984 Conan, Blade Runner, First Blood, Khan, Fast Times and ET? Fuck. Not to mention Tron, Poltergeist, Rocky III and even Porky's. Clear winner imo

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    I always hear it referred to as the "Western Diet". But to your point yeah it's been much worse over the past 40 years. Is it the fast food? I dont think it is, or at least that's not all of it. I never eat fast food and trust me if I didnt pay attention to what I eat I'd be what I consider...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Agriculture allowed us to have the civilization we do. Not having to move around all the time and having a fairly steady supply of food was certainly a huge step forward. As others have mentioned if we didnt have grain now we'd have mass starvation, or we'd never have gotten to this population...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Because here is the claim: Carbs, and in particular refined simple carbs, will raise blood sugar. When that happens the body produces insulin because high or low blood sugar is dangerous. insulin regulates fat storage. So you eat more specifically because of what you're eating. Again here...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    I actually found an example of what I used to eat when I was leaning out in 2010: So looking at that my big problem was the snack, which again I was starving and had to eat something and it was usually crap like lite n fit yogurt and protein bars. and pretzels, god I loved them so much at the time.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    When I cut I basically ate paleo without really knowing it. Lots of lean meat, lots of veggies, cut sugar, moderate fruit. Big difference was oatmeal. I ate it then religiously every morning. (and continued to do so up until starting this plan) I avoided bread and pasta. I also counted...

    I can show you pictures of myself from a year and a half ago that I was very lean and I was eating grains. Up until my mid 20's I could eat anything I wanted and be super lean. Post 30 I have to work at it. Now I have another 10-15 pounds to go to clean up my bulk weight and we'll see which...

    I definitely am. I used to eat Oatmeal every morning with whey, some fresh berries and grapes. Within 2 hours I was starving and had to eat something and I was tired. I never realized it or paid much attention until it was suggested to me that my oatmeal with fruit was basically a lot of...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    25% of your diet is not moderation to me, especially when you're promoting that over good fats. As for research, the glycemic index is established and accepted, that Harvard site has a list:http://www.health.harvard.edu/newswe..._100_foods.htm Wheat bread comes in at 71, and Coke at 63.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    My only issue with the Harvard Plate they show is in the grains section. Is eating whole wheat bread and whole grain pasta healthy? 25% of your diet? I would say it's definitely not going to help you stay lean long term and it's going to screw with your blood sugar. Forget gluten, say you're...

    Yup. I'm clearly calorie restricting on this compared to what I ate before, but I'm not going hungry. You keep thinking you're going to trip me up, clearly you didnt read the OP. Read "Why should I try this", use google for the big words.

    Another thing is, no matter what diet you go on at first you'll probably have success. Just going on the diet indicates you're trying to eat better, you'll probably restrict calories and it will work. Long term though diets do not work because you go back to eating how you were and the same...

    I have definitely heard of Poliquin before but I have no idea what his certification entails so who knows. Did this guy suggest cutting all carbs? That would surprise me. Put it this way, if a few vodka and diet sodas every other week is your biggest cheat I think you'll be ok. But if...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    I'd still say it's by far the bulk. Grains are the other big one apart from sugar and most of the grains I eat are refined and have sugar: bread, cereal, bagels, pizza, pasta. Then you come to dairy which a lot of people say you can have in moderation if your body handles it ok. Yes eat...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Sugar is a problem, refined foods are a problem. That's the bulk of this diet. People question the grains and that's fine but if you're avoiding the pizza, bagels, bread and pasta I think that's a good thing regardless. Too much of that shit will make you fat. Meanwhile by adopting an 80/20...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    You disagree sugar is a problem? I would think that's an easy one to agree on. Grains are one thing, but looking on every package and seeing sugar in one form or another is something everyone seems to be getting.
