The Fitness Thread

Has about as much merit as "drinking milk leeches calcium from your bones" and other crap. There's a whole industry devoted to this kind of phony health garbage.

Actually that one I believe to be true. The calcium anion is essentially attached to a huge fatty molecule and once it is released guess what is the only thing that fits back in, a calcium cation. So yea a calcium atom goes in, and one is taken from "somewhere" as it goes back out. In any case I'm not drinking cows milk since there are other choices. I also don't drink soy milk because there is just too much estrogen in that.

Guys, the existence of intestinal permeability isn't even up for debate.

Some of the articles I post come off a bit strong but still have plenty of good info to cherry pick. I'm starting to think I'm talking to a bunch of wheat stalks.

I have nothing against treadmills... they're great when watching tv but I just like running outside.

I normally run outside just because it isn't as boring as running on the hamster wheel.  There is just no place to run outside unless I want to drive to another part of town.  Lexington, KY is tearing up their sidewalks as some part of renovation project and running on the streets in Lexington is begging to be run over.

I'd sooner avoid dairy altogether as it doesn't really do much for the body anyway past a certain age. I stick to almond milk.

We literally just...

[whiterabbit]

Yea we just did that one. 

I must admit almond milk is a fantastic substitute to dairy milk. Albeit a tad on the super sweet side. Plus it lacks all of those man made hormones found in cow milk. There is no way that stuff is good for your body.

Sorry bout that, didn't see it

Somewhere there is a report that says whatever your eating will kill you.  So I say f**k it and just eat what you want.  You are going to die anyways.

I'm tempted to quote Alien3 here.

After my workout last night, one of the trainers looked at me and said I've got a 300 thing going on. Me? Beginning to look like a Spartan warrior? Yeah, I can dig it

It's been hard leaning out. I'm training minimum three hours a week now and cutting back on my carbs. My trainer wants me to increase my fat intake to compensate but sticking to healthy fats ain't easy.

I haven't been doing shit. 


21 days in the desert in full body armor is going to wick away any gains I might have had so I'm just going to restart everything but cardio then.  Actually taking kineasology classes now and half are service classes so I'll be weight lifting and preparing or a half marathon throughout the semester.

Your abs are fake CGI?

[BANE]

No him and his trainer have been there so long they're considering bumming like the greeks

Gotta get his money's worth somehow.

Somebody told me they overheard his trainer say "Unfortunately that's one small muscle we can't build up"

How long does it take to prep for a half marathon anyway?

He wasn't talking about my abs.
